and to provide timely, facility-level
feedback to participants with
benchmarking and analyses capabilities.
OHSN collects two types of data from
participating facilities. Facilities collect
these data to meet specific regulatory or
administrative requirements. Thus, no
new data collection is required.
Participating facilities provides OHSN—
(1) a onetime enrollment form, requests
information of the participating facility
and is publically available information
from American Hospital Association
database; and (2) a monthly submission
of occupational injury data collected in
the previous month. These data are sent
to OHSN via a web portal in a format
using standardized data elements and
value sets. No personal identifiable
information is transmitted to OHSN.
Data elements include: Injury time,
location and surrounding circumstances
of each injury event.
Healthcare facilities download data
through an OHSN-provided data
conversion and mapping tools to upload
the monthly occupational injury data.
Each participating facilities has access
to OHSN web portal, facilities are able
to analyze workers current and
historical worker injury data to
benchmark their internal injury rates
and trends against aggregate data from
similar workplaces. In addition they are
able to assess the impact of prevention
efforts on occupational health and safety
over time using integrated data analysis
and visualization tools (charts and
graphs).
OHSN currently tracks three common,
serious, and preventable categories of
traumatic injury to healthcare
personnel: Slips, trips and falls;
musculoskeletal disorders resulting
from patient handling and movement
events; and workplace violence. OHSN
will add new modules about exposure
to sharps injury and blood and body
fluids exposures.
NIOSH analyzes the data submitted to
OHSN to conduct surveillance and to
produce periodic aggregate reports on
the occurrence of and risk factors for
occupational injuries among all OHSN
facilities.
OHSN has been operating
continuously and receiving voluntary
monthly reports from 116 participating
facilities since 2012 and is projected to
enroll total of 900 facilities in the next
three years. Current burden estimates
were derived using the estimated
number of facilities participating in
OHSN for each facility type and form.
OSHA reporting mandates were taken
into account when estimating the
number of facilities (participants) and
the annual number of responses per
facility. Total burden hours for this
request is 185.
NIOSH seeks approval for an OMB
control number to continue this
important work. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.

information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies
to publish a 30-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension or
reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicaid and
CHIP Program (MACPro); Use: The
MACPro system is being transitioned to
become the system of record that will be
used by both state and CMS officials to:
Improve the state application and
federal review processes, improve
federal program management of
Medicaid programs and CHIP, and
standardize Medicaid program data.
Specifically, it will be used by state
agencies to: Submit and amend
Medicaid state plans, CHIP state plans
and ADPs (Information System
Advanced Planning Documents); submit
applications and amendments for state
waivers, demonstrations, and
benchmark and grant programs; and
submit reporting data.
Among the collections submitted for
approval under MACPro will be
relevant collections that are currently
approved under our generic umbrella
information collection request (CMS–
10398; OMB control number 0938–
1148), certain collections approved as a
regular stand-alone information
collections, and upcoming collections.
A list of those collections is included in
our PRA package.
While currently approved by OMB
under the regular PRA process which
requires 60- and 30-day comment
periods, CMS is proposing to have the
umbrella of MACPro collections
approved under OMB’s generic process
which would—in most cases—eliminate
the need for the 60- and 30-day
comment periods. Although the formal
60- and 30-day public comment periods
would be eliminated, the public may
continue to comment on any of the
MACPro collections at any time.

Title: Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program 2015 RECS LIHEAP
Administrative Data Matching.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Low Income Home
Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
block grant (42 U.S.C. 8621 et seq.) was
established under Title XXVI of the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1981, 97. The Office of Community
Services (OCS) within the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF)
administers LIHEAP at the federal level.
The LIHEAP statute requires HHS to
report to Congress annually on program
impacts on recipient and eligible
households. The primary program goals,
as articulated in the statute, are to
ensure that benefits are targeted to those
households where the greatest program
impacts are expected, and to assure that
timely resources are available to
households experiencing home energy
crises.
OCS is seeking authorization to
collect data from all State LIHEAP
grantees and the District of Columbia
that will allow OCS to identify LIHEAP
recipients that responded to the
Residential Energy Consumption Survey
(RECS). The U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA) conducts this
survey to provide periodic national and
regional data on residential energy use
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4703

in the United States. OCS uses RECS
data to furnish Congress and the
Administration with important national
and regional descriptive data on the
energy needs of low-income
households. Specific data elements OCS
is seeking to collect are detailed below.
State LIHEAP grantees will be asked
to furnish data for LIHEAP recipient
households that reside in areas included
in the RECS sample.
For each household, report the
following:
• Name
• Address (including ZIP code)
• Household or Client ID
• Telephone Number
• Household Size
• Gross Income
• Heating assistance awarded?
• Amount of heating assistance
• Date of heating assistance
• Cooling assistance awarded?
• Amount of cooling assistance
• Date of cooling assistance
• Crisis Assistance awarded?
• Amount of crisis assistance
• Date of crisis assistance
• Other Assistance awarded?
• Amount of other assistance
• Date of other assistance
• Presence of children 5 or younger
• Presence of adult 60 or older
• Presence of disabled
The following are additional optional
data items that grantees can provide if
the data are available in your database:
• Tenancy (i.e., own or rent)
• Type(s) of fuel used
• Heat included in rent
This data will help ACF to analyze
specific information for the LIHEAP
recipient population, including
information related to benefits targeting,
energy usage, and energy insecurity, and
it will support analysis of LIHEAP data
for the annual Report to Congress and
the annual LIHEAP Home Energy
Notebook.
Respondents: ACF published a
Federal Register notice on December 23,
2015 soliciting 60 days of public
comment on requiring State grantees to
provide household-level data for this
effort. ACF didn’t receive comments on
this notice.
Annual Burden Estimates
The table below shows the estimated
reporting burden for the RECS LIHEAP
administrative data matching effort.
These estimates are based on a small
number of interviews with grantees.
