SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 219 / Monday, November 14, 2016 / Notices
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Proposed Project
Measuring Worker Well-being for Total
Worker Health—New—National
intended to generate data that can be
used to validate a worker well-being
survey instrument through testing of its
psychometric properties. The survey
includes questions on five domains of
worker well-being including: worker
evaluation and experiences with work;
workplace physical environment and
safety climate; organizational policies
and culture; worker health status; and
experiences outside of work (external
context).
For this study, the survey instrument
will be programmed into a web-based
survey that will be administered online
to an existing nationwide survey panel
of employed adults (KnowledgePanel®)
hosted by our vendor, GfK. Deidentified data will be transmitted
securely to RAND, and RAND
researchers will analyze the data as a
CDC contractor.
The survey will be fielded to
approximately 1,025 respondents in the
GFK panel, and the expected burden per
respondent for reading the email and
completing the survey is 15 minutes or
0.25 hours of their time. This will be a
one-time survey and panelists will not
be asked to respond to this survey again
in the future. The total estimated burden
hours are 385 for reading the
recruitment email and responding to the
survey. There are no costs to the
respondent other than their time.

Background and Brief Description
As described in the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (PL 91–
596), the mission of NIOSH is to
conduct research and investigations on
work-related disease and injury and to
disseminate information for preventing
identified workplace hazards (Sections
20 (a) (1) and (d), Attachment 1). NIOSH
is requesting a one-year approval for
this data collection.
Measuring worker well-being is the
first step towards improving workplace
policies, programs, and practices to
promote prevention of disease and
injury.
The Total Worker Health® Program
within NIOSH has made worker wellbeing a key aspect of its mission. The
Total Worker Health (TWH) Program
encompasses policies, programs, and
practices that integrate protection from
work-related safety and health hazards
with promotion of injury and illness
prevention efforts to advance worker
well-being. The goal of TWH is not only
to prevent disease or injury, but also to
promote a culture of safety and health
and an enhancement of overall wellbeing.
In order to promote and enhance
worker well-being it is first necessary to
develop and validate instruments aimed
at measuring the concept. This study is
