mining industry faces that create
barriers to the availability and
implementation of safety technologies,
and we believe there are other more
subtle reasons that we do not fully
understand as a Government research
agency. The data will help provide
insight into what the most important
barriers are from the perspective of the
organizations that must purchase, use,
approve, and manufacture these safety
technologies.
NIOSH has an understanding of some
of these barriers, however, NIOSH is not
an end user of these products. Thus, the
goal of the study is to provide a
complete perspective of the barriers
from the point of view of the mine
operators and technology innovators, in
order to improve the efficacy of the
contract and grant awards that NIOSH
administers under the authority of the
MINER Act.
The Federal Mine Safety & Health Act
of 1977, Section 501 authorizes the
collection of this data. A CDC contractor
will collect the required data.
NIOSH will identify 200 stakeholder
organizations for structured interviews
and a workshop. Stakeholder
organizations include those parties
involved in the development, supply,
use, and regulation of safety and health
protection technologies relevant to
underground coal mining. Because there
is no nationally representative database
of these stakeholder organizations,
NIOSH will use web searches of
supplier and mining company Web
sites, online mining publications, trade
association member directories, federal
and state regulator Web sites, and
university mining research and
development programs to compile a list
of 200 organizations. Representatives of
NIOSH Office of Mining Safety and
Health Research will also augment the
search with their input.
From the 200 stakeholder
organizations, 150 representatives will
participate in structured interviews.
CDC expects that a pre-call to each
organization will require 15 minutes to
complete and the structured interview
will require 60 minutes to complete,
including the time it may take
respondents to look-up and retrieve
needed information.
In addition, 30 stakeholder
representatives will participate in the
workshop. The burden table below
reflects 15 hours of burden for each
workshop group. This includes the inperson participation of 9 hours and 6
hours of travel time. A total of 10
respondents per year will participate in
the workshop. The estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondents’ time to participate in this
information collection are 217 hours.
CDC seeks a three-year OMB approval
to collect information.

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled National
Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval. CDC
previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data

Jkt 244001
Collection Submitted for Public
Comment and Recommendations’’
notice on April 13, 2017 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC received seven comments
related to the previous notice. This
notice serves to allow an additional 30
days for public and affected agency
comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;

Proposed Project
Assessing School-centered HIV/STD
Prevention Efforts in a Local Education

Agency (OMB Control #0920–1035,
expiration 11/30/2017)—Revision—
Division of Adolescent and School
Health (DASH), National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
HIV infections remain high among
young men who have sex with men. The
estimated number of new HIV infections
increased between 2008 and 2010 both
overall and among MSM ages 13 to 24.
Sexual risk behaviors associated with
HIV, other sexually transmitted disease
(STD), and pregnancy often emerge in
adolescence. The 2015 Youth Risk
Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS)
data revealed 41.2% of U.S. high school
students reported having had sex, and
among those who had sex in the
previous three months, only 56.9%
reported having used a condom during
last sexual intercourse. The data
revealed high school students
identifying as gay, lesbian, and bisexual
and those reporting sexual contact with
both males and females were more
likely to engage in sexual risk-taking
behaviors than heterosexual students.
Given the disproportionate risk for
HIV among YMSM ages 13–24, it is
important to find ways to reach the
younger youth (i.e., ages 13–19) in this
range to decrease sexual risk behaviors
and increase health-promoting
behaviors such as routine HIV testing.
Schools provide one opportunity for
this. Because schools enroll more than
22 million teens (ages 14–19) and often
have existing health and social services
infrastructure, schools and their staff
members are well-positioned to connect
youth to a wide range of needed
services, including housing assistance,
support groups, and sexual health
services such as HIV testing. As a result,
CDC’s DASH has focused a number of
HIV and STD prevention efforts on
strategies that can be implemented in or
centered around schools.
For this revised information
collection project, CDC requests a oneyear OMB approval. This CDC-funded
information collection project is the
third data collection to assess HIV and
STD prevention efforts in one local
education agency (LEA). CDC’s
cooperative agreement, under funding
opportunity announcement PS13–1308:
Promoting Adolescent Health through
School-Based HIV/STD Prevention and
School-Based Surveillance, funds
agencies and organizations to
implement the following four key
strategies. Strategy 1: School-Based
Surveillance; Strategy 2: School-Based
HIV/STD Prevention; Strategy 3:
Capacity Building Assistance for
School-Based HIV/STD Prevention; and
Strategy 4: School-Centered HIV/STD
Prevention for Young Men Who Have
Sex with Men. This project aligns with
Strategy 4 implementation.
This collection will provide data and
reports for the LEA, and will allow the
LEA to identify program areas that are
working well and other areas that need
improvement. The findings will allow
CDC to determine the potential impact
of currently recommended strategies
and make changes to those
recommendations if necessary.
The questionnaire covers
demographics, HIV/STD risk behaviors,
use of HIV/health services, experiences
at school, including school
connectedness, harassment and
bullying, homophobia, support of
LGBTQ students, sexual orientation,
receipt of referral for HIV and STD
prevention health services, and health
education.
This data collection system involves
administration of a paper-and-pencil
questionnaire to seven high schools that
are participating in the HIV/STD
prevention project. This is the third and
final data collection of a 4-year project
that includes three data collections;
previous data collections occurred in
December 2014 and December 2016.
Data collection points coincide with the
approximate beginning, mid-way, and
end points of the cooperative agreement.
We anticipate the final data collection
will yield data from up to 16,500 high
school students in grades 9 through 12
at the selected schools. Although some
students may have completed the
questionnaire in one or more of the
previous years, this is not a longitudinal
design and researchers will not track
individual student responses across the
years. Researchers will not collect
personally identifiable information.
All students’ parents will receive
parental consent forms to provide them
with an opportunity to opt their
children out of the study. Each student
will read verbal assent language that
explains that he or she may choose not
to complete the questionnaire or may
skip any questions without penalty.
Participation is voluntary.
The estimated burden per response
ranges from 35–45 minutes due to the
variability in skip patterns that may
occur. Students will complete the
questionnaire only once under this
approval. Annualizing the collection
over a one-year period results in an
estimated annualized burden of 11,000
hours for respondents. There are no
costs to respondents other than their
time.
