Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled ‘‘Assessment of
Ill Worker Policies Study’’ to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. CDC previously
published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection
Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on July 14,
2017 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC did
not receive 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,

collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy

Proposed Project
Assessment of Ill Worker Policies
Study—New—National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is requesting a new
three-year OMB clearance to conduct
information collection entitled
‘‘Assessment of Ill Worker Policies
Study.’’ CDC’s National Center for
Environmental Health implements the
Environmental Health Specialists
Network (EHS-Net) program, which
conducts studies to identify and
understand environmental factors
associated with foodborne illness
outbreaks and other food safety issues
(e.g., ill food workers). These data are
E:\FR\FM\09NON1.SGM
09NON1
52050
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 216 / Thursday, November 9, 2017 / Notices
essential to environmental public health
regulators’ efforts to respond more
effectively to and prevent future
outbreaks by identifying underlying
causes and intervention strategies.
EHS-Net is a collaborative project of
the CDC, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA),
industry partners and eight state and
local public health departments
(California, Minnesota, New York, New
York City, Rhode Island, Tennessee,
Southern Nevada Health District, and
Harris County Texas). CDC funds these
state and local health departments,
which enables them to collaborate on
study design, collect study data, and coanalyze study data with CDC. The
federal partners also provide funding
and input into study design and data
analysis. Ill food service workers have
long been identified as a source of
contamination in restaurants. The 2013
FDA Food Code specifically addresses
food worker health under section 2–201.
However, even with these regulations in
place food workers continue to serve as
a source for disease transmission (e.g.,
Norovirus).
The FDA Food Code also calls for
excluding food workers from working in
the restaurant that are diagnosed with
an illness or have symptoms. Research
has indicated that many food service
workers have reported working while
sick and that the reasons provided are
multi-faceted. To assist in reducing this
national disease burden, it is critical to
develop and implement successful
interventions that address the reasons
that restaurant workers continue to
work while sick. The goals of this study
include:
(1) Assess restaurant ill worker
management practices and plans; and
(2) Assess whether an educational
intervention will result in restaurants
enhancing their ill worker management
procedures.
The data from this study can be used
to further develop educational
materials, trainings, and tools that are
targeted towards improving retail food
establishment ill worker management
practices.
This data collection request aims to
address data gap by surveying
restaurants on their ill worker polices
through a quasi-experimental
nonequivalent group pre- post-test
design, with implementation of an
educational intervention to randomly
selected independently-owned
restaurants in the EHS-Net area. Data
will be collected by study personnel
from restaurants that are split into two
groups, intervention and control
restaurants requiring up to three visits.
The assessments at each site visit will
be the same in both the intervention and
control restaurants.
Data collection will consist of a
manager interview to understand the
current practices in the restaurant, a
facility observation to observe the
practices in place to prevent
contamination from an employee, and a
food worker survey to obtain their
beliefs towards the current policies. The
educational intervention planned in the
study is designed to encourage
restaurants to develop ill worker
management policies that have
provisions to address the reasons that
workers have reported working while
ill. The success of the intervention will
be measured using a pre- post-test
nonequivalent groups design. If the
intervention is resulting in having
restaurants enhance their ill worker
management policies; at the follow up
visit, the intervention will be provided
to the control restaurants and an
additional follow up visit will occur in
these restaurants.
For the purpose of the burden hours,
eight sites will collect data in 40
restaurants. The total estimated
annualized burden hours averaged over
the three-year study period are 352
burden hours. Participation in this
proposed information collection is
voluntary. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
