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 Evaluation of
Effectiveness of NIOSH Publications:
NIOSH Customer Satisfaction and
Impact Survey 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
September 19, 2016 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,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
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
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or

Proposed Project
Evaluation of Effectiveness of NIOSH
Publications: NIOSH Customer
Satisfaction and Impact (CSI) Survey
(OMB Control Number 0920–0544,
Expiration Date 4/30/2010)—
Reinstatement with Changes—National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
As mandated in the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L.
91–596), the mission of the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (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)). NIOSH is proposing a
Reinstatement with Changes to continue
a two-year study to collect stakeholder
feedback on the effectiveness of its
products and their dissemination. This
dual responsibility of NIOSH’s mission
recognizes the need to translate research
into workplace application if it is to
impact worker safety and well-being.
NIOSH, through its communication
efforts, seeks to promote greater
awareness of occupational hazards and
their control, influence public policy
and regulatory action, shape national
research priorities, change
organizational practices and individual
behavior, and ultimately, improve
American working life. NIOSH’s
primary communication vehicle is its
series of numbered publications
catalogued by the Institute as Policy
Documents, Technical Documents, and
Educational Documents.
The aforementioned types of
documents are available to the public
through the use of mailing lists, NIOSH
eNews, the NIOSH Web site, promotion
at conferences, and by other means. In
FY 2015, combined digital downloads
and hard copy distributions of NIOSH
publications registered at over 790,000.
Yet, these numbers tell little of whether
the reports are reaching all of the
appropriate audiences, or whether the
information is perceived as credible and
useful by the recipients. Therefore, a
Customer Satisfaction Survey (CSS) was
conducted in 2003 and a follow-up CSS
in 2010 to assess customer satisfaction
and perceived impact of NIOSH
publications. The proposed survey seeks
to update the data collected for the 2010
survey (OMB Control Number 0920–
0544, expiration date 4/30/10) and
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703

gather data on outreach initiatives
NIOSH has undertaken in recent years.
The findings from the study completed
in 2010 confirmed that NIOSH
continues to be a credible source of
occupational safety and health
information, NIOSH publications were
being used more frequently than in
previous years, and respondents are
relying more on the NIOSH Web site
and other electronic resources.
However, the 2010 CSS also revealed
that the percentage of respondents who
looked to NIOSH for Occupational
Safety and Health information dropped
from 84% in 2003 to 76% in 2009 (2010
survey data collection). Results from the
2010 CSS suggest that NIOSH needs to
collaborate more with stakeholder
associations to assess the needs of those
in the OSH community who are not
using NIOSH resources. Since then,
NIOSH has established a partner
database, which documents the private
companies, professional associations,
and labor unions listed as partners on
various projects. Another
recommendation is that NIOSH develop
strategies to increase awareness of
electronic resources and newsletters and
develop a broader range of tools that
have direct application and provide
clearer guidance on policy.
The currently proposed Customer
Satisfaction and Impact (CSI) Survey is
a reinstatement of the 2010 study with
changes to the instrument and data
collection methods to account for new
products and technologies that did not
exist in 2010. It is an effort by the
agency to obtain current estimates of
consumer use/benefit from NIOSH
communication products as a whole, as
well as to determine the adequacy of the
agency’s circulation/delivery practices
in light of changing distribution
approaches and technologies. The CSI
will account for changes in NIOSH
publications, digital product formats,
and new dissemination channels
emerging since the last collection of
survey data. As offered with many
NIOSH publications, the CSI will also
solicit more audience-based information
that reflects the new media
environment. Such expansions will
yield findings that show how well
customer service practices at NIOSH
have followed the 2003 and 2010
recommendations, as well as provide
insights into how users seek and use
NIOSH information in the current
digital environment.
NIOSH will direct the survey to
members of the following occupational
safety and health organizations:
American Industrial Hygiene
Association (AIHA), American College
of Occupational and Environmental
E:\FR\FM\27NON1.SGM

Medicine (ACOEM), American
Association of Occupational Health
Nurses (AAOHN), American Society of
Safety Engineers (ASSE), American
Insurance Association (AIA), Insurance
Loss Control Association (ILCA) and
National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA). NIOSH will randomly sample
within each of the five following
occupational groups: AIHA, ACOEM,
AAOHN, ASSE, and other (includes
members of AIA, ILCA, and NFPA). The
annual number of respondents is 1500.
Each participant will complete one of
the four data collection instruments,
depending on whether they are
identified as an ‘‘intermediary’’ or
‘‘employer’’ and whether they complete
the full or short version.
NIOSH estimates that it will take 312
total burden hours to complete
information collections, compared to
205 burden hours estimated for the 2010
CSS. There are no costs to the
respondents other than their time.

Background and Brief Description
Evidence from efficacy and
effectiveness research studies has
shown that lifestyle modifications
leading to weight loss and increased
physical activity can prevent or delay
type 2 diabetes in persons with
prediabetes or those at high risk of
developing type 2. To translate these
research findings into practice, Section
399V–3 of Public Law 111–148, directed
CDC ‘‘to determine eligibility of entities
to deliver community-based type 2
diabetes prevention services,’’ monitor
and evaluate the services, and provide
technical assistance. To this end, CDC’s
Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT)
established and administers the DPRP as
part of the National Diabetes Prevention
Program, which recognizes
organizations that deliver type 2
diabetes prevention programs according
to requirements set forth in the ‘‘Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
Recognition Program Standards and
Operating Procedures’’ (Standards).
Currently CDC has 1,363
organizations in its DPRP registry. On
July 7, 2016, the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed
the Medicare Diabetes Prevention
Program (MDPP). Sections 1102 and
1871 of the Social Security Act (42
