Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review, 59629-59630 [2016-20830]

Download as PDF 59629 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 30, 2016 / Notices cases of TBDs were reported to CDC, including cases of anaplasmosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and tularemia. Lyme disease leads in number of cases with over 33,000 confirmed and probable cases reported in 2014. In addition, several novel tickborne pathogens have recently been found to cause human disease in the United States. Factors driving the emergence of TBDs are not well defined and current prevention methods have been insufficient to curb the increase in cases. Data is lacking on how often certain prevention measures are used by individuals at risk as well as what the barriers to using certain prevention measures are. The primary target population for these data collections are individuals and their household members who are at risk for TBDs associated with I. scapularis ticks and who may be exposed to these ticks residentially, recreationally, and/or occupationally. The secondary target population includes owners and employees of businesses offering pest control services to residents in areas where I. scapularis ticks transmit diseases to humans. Specifically, these target populations include those residing or working in the 14 highest incidence states for Lyme disease (CT, DE, ME, MD, MA, MN, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VT, VA, WI). We anticipate conducting one to two surveys per year, for a maximum of six surveys conducted over a three year period. Depending on the survey, we aim to enroll 500–10,000 participants per study. It is expected that we will need to target recruitment to about twice as many people as we intend to enroll. Surveys may be conducted daily, weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly per participant for a defined period of time (whether by phone or web survey), depending on the survey or study. The surveys will range in duration from approximately 5–30 minutes. Each participant may be surveyed 1–64 times in one year; this variance is due to differences in the type of information collected for a given survey. Specific burden estimates for each study and each information collection instrument will be provided with each individual project submission for OMB review. The maximum estimated, annualized burden hours are 98,830 hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. Insights gained from KAP surveys will aid in prioritizing which prevention methods should be evaluated in future randomized, controlled trials and ultimately help target promotion of proven prevention methods that could yield substantial reductions in TBD incidence.

These activities are consistent with CDC’s role as the primary Federal agency for protecting health and promoting quality of life through the prevention and control of disease, injury, and disability. Public and private employers can play a significant role in improving the health and well-being of American workers, but often lack the know-how to do so effectively. CDC plays an important role in providing the tools, resources, and technical expertise to support employers’ efforts to build and sustain workplace health promotion (WHP) programs and advance healthy company cultures. The primary goal of the Resource Center is to serve as a prominent and effective resource for employers wishing to create and sustain best-practice WHP initiatives. The project will take place over two phases. In Phase 1, CDC will conduct formative research via interviews, a web-based survey, and an environmental scan of market research reports and other related documents to obtain direct input on stakeholder needs for the Resource Center. This information will be used to design and create the content and layout of the Resource Center. In Phase 2, CDC will use a consumer satisfaction survey, a TA feedback survey, and a TA Pilot assessment to assess satisfaction with the Resource Center and with the TA support mechanisms designed to support users of the Resource Center. This information will be used to refine and improve the design and content of the Resource Center and TA. The target audience includes employers, business groups, workplace health vendors and consultants, health departments, journalists, and researchers. OMB approval is requested for three years.

Proposed Project

    CDC Workplace Health Promotion Resource Center--New--National 
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC plans to conduct information collection needed to design and 
implement a new CDC Workplace Health Promotion Resource Center 
(Resource Center), where relevant resources will be vetted, catalogued, 
compiled, and made publicly available to employers and other key 
stakeholders. Through the Resource Center, CDC will also provide

assistance (TA) to employers, with the ultimate aim of improving 
population health, reducing health care utilization, and improving the 
productivity of employees. These activities are consistent with CDC's 
role as the primary Federal agency for protecting health and promoting 
quality of life through the prevention and control of disease, injury,

    Public and private employers can play a significant role in 
improving the health and well-being of American workers, but often lack 
the know-how to do so effectively. CDC plays an important role in 
providing the tools, resources, and technical expertise to support 
employers' efforts to build and sustain workplace health promotion

the Resource Center and with the TA support mechanisms designed to 
support users of the Resource Center. This information will be used to 
refine and improve the design and content of the Resource Center and
