Compensation Programs (OWCP)
entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) 1 designed to
establish a joint quality assurance
program for the assessment of
classifications of chest radiographic
images performed by physicians in
Black Lung Benefits proceedings who
are ‘‘B Readers’’ certified by NIOSH.
The B Reader Certification Program was
established by NIOSH pursuant to the
Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of
1977, 30 U.S.C. 843. NIOSH B Readers
are physicians who have demonstrated
proficiency in the use of the
International Labour Organization (ILO)
Classification of Radiographs of
Pneumoconioses by passing a
proficiency examination offered by
NIOSH, as specified in 42 CFR 37.51. B
Readers may submit classifications as
part of OWCP’s process of evaluating
claims for compensation under the
federal Black Lung Benefits Act, 30
U.S.C. 901 to 944.
To implement the MOU, NIOSH has
developed a draft quality assurance
review procedure entitled, NIOSH
Quality Assurance Review of B Readers’
Classifications Submitted in the
Department of Labor (DOL) Black Lung
Benefits Program, to provide a
mechanism to assess the quality of
classifications of certain chest
radiographs performed by B Readers.
NIOSH quality assurance review will
focus on the classification of the
presence or absence of large opacities as
described in the ILO classification
system in chest radiographs, because
coal miners with large opacities are
irrefutably presumed to be totally
disabled, or to have died, from
pneumoconiosis, pursuant to 30 U.S.C.
921(c)(3). Thus, determinations of large
opacities have a significant impact on
awarding benefits under the Black Lung
Benefits Act.
NIOSH seeks comment from B
Readers and other interested parties on
the draft procedure. All comments
submitted will be considered; the final
version of this procedure will be
published on the NIOSH Web site.
Dated: February 8, 2016.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 17, 2016 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
This is a revision request for three
years for the currently approved OMB
Control Number 0920–0968, with an
expiration date of May 31, 2016. This
request is to extend the time and
slightly reduce burden.
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a
serious, preventable public health
problem that affects millions of
Americans and results in serious
consequences for victims, families, and
communities. IPV occurs between two
people in a close relationship. The term
‘‘intimate partner’’ describes physical,
sexual, or psychological harm by a
current or former partner or spouse. IPV
can impact health in many ways,
including long-term health problems,
emotional impacts, and links to negative
health behaviors. Given these factors,
the Family Violence Prevention and
Services Act (42 U.S.C. 10401) provides
an important opportunity for the
advancement of public health and
reduction of IPV. Support and guidance
for programs addressing IPV have been
provided through cooperative agreement
funding and technical assistance
administered by CDC’s National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC). NCIPC will continue collecting
information needed to monitor
cooperative agreement programs funded
under Domestic Violence Prevention
Enhancement and Leadership through
Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for
Communities United with States
(DELTA FOCUS).
Information to be collected will
provide crucial data for program
performance monitoring and provide
CDC with the capacity to respond in a
timely manner to requests for
information about the program from the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), the White House,
Congress, and other sources. Awardees
will report progress and activity
information to CDC on an annual
schedule using the Program
Management Information System (PMIS)
consisting of fillable electronic
templates and submitted via Grant
Solutions. CDC will use the information
collected to monitor each awardee’s
progress and to identify facilitators and
challenges to program implementation
and achievement of outcomes.
Monitoring allows CDC to determine
whether an awardee is meeting
performance goals and to make
adjustments in the type and level of
technical assistance provided to them,
as needed, to support attainment of their
objectives. CDC’s monitoring and
evaluation activities also allow CDC to
provide oversight of the use of federal
funds, and to identify and disseminate
information about successful prevention
and control strategies implemented by
awardees.
Participation in the information
collection is required as a condition of
funding. The estimated annual burden
hours are 60. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
