releases and determine their health
statuses;
2. Identify needs (i.e. medical and
basic) of those exposed during the
releases to aid in planning interventions
in the community;
3. Assess the impact of the incidents
on health services use and share lessons
learned for use in hospital, local, and
state planning for chemical incidents.
Because each chemical incident is
different, it is not possible to predict in
advance exactly what type of and how
many respondents will need to be
consented and interviewed to effectively
evaluate the incident. Respondents
typically include, but are not limited to
emergency responders such as police,
fire, hazardous material technicians,
emergency medical services, and
personnel at hospitals where patients
from the incident were treated.
Incidents may occur at businesses or in
the community setting; therefore,
respondents may also include business
owners, managers, workers, customers,
community residents, pet owners, and
those passing through the affected area.
Data will be collected by the
multidisciplinary ACE team consisting
of staff from ATSDR, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
and the requesting agencies. ATSDR has
developed a series of draft survey forms
that can be quickly tailored in the field
to collect data that will meet the goals
of the investigation. They will be
administered based on time permitted
and urgency. For example, it is
preferable to administer the General
Survey to as many respondents as
possible. However, if there are time
constraints, the shorter Household
Survey or the ACE Short Form may be
administered instead. The individual
surveys collect information about
exposure, acute health effects, health
services use, medical history, needs
resulting from the incident,
communication during the release,
health impact on children and pets, and
demographic data. Hospital personnel
are asked about the surge, response and
communication, decontamination, and
lessons learned.
Depending on the situation, data may
be collected by face-to-face interviews,
telephone interviews, written surveys,
mailed surveys, or on-line surveys.
Medical and veterinary charts may also
be reviewed. In rare situations, an
investigation might involve collection of
clinical specimens.
ATSDR anticipates up to four ACE
investigations per year. The number of
participants has ranged from 30–715,
averaging about 300 per year. Therefore,
the total annualized estimated burden
will be 591 hours per year. Participation
in ACE investigations is voluntary and
there are no anticipated costs to
respondents other than their time.

Background and Brief Description
The mission of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is to promote safety and health
at work for all people through research
and prevention. The study will be
conducted by NIOSH under the Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977,
Public Law 91–173 as amended by
Public Law 95–164. Title V, Section 501
(a) states NIOSH has the responsibility
to conduct research ‘‘to improve
working conditions and practices in
coal or others mines, and to prevent
accidents and occupational diseases
originating in the coal or other mining
industry (Federal Mine and Safety and
Health Act, 1977, Title V, Sec. 501).’’
Striking, pinning and crushing
injuries are serious concerns in
underground coal mining, especially
around mobile equipment. Between
2010 and 2014 powered haulage
accounted for 24 of the 110
underground coal fatalities. During that
same time period, the Mine Safety and
Health Administration (MSHA)
determined that up to nine of these
fatalities were striking, pinning, or
crushing accidents, which may have
been prevented by proximity detection
systems on coal haulage machines or
scoops. Following the final rule
requiring proximity detection systems
on continuous mining machines, on
September 2, 2015, MSHA published a
proposed rule requiring proximity
systems on mobile machines in
underground coal mines. Though it is
still under development, MSHA
reported that by June of 2015, 155 of
approximately 2,116 coal haulage
machines and scoops had been
equipped with proximity detection
systems. However, in recent discussions
with NIOSH personnel, some mine
operators have disclosed suspending the
use of proximity detection systems on
mobile equipment due to challenges
integrating the systems into daily
operations. This has further prompted
concerns about how proximity detection
systems are being utilized.
The goal of this study is to reduce the
risk of traumatic injuries and fatalities
among mine workers through assessing
the current state of proximity systems
for underground mobile equipment.
NIOSH is seeking a one-year OMB
approval in order to collect information
to address two key questions: (1) In
which situations do proximity detection
systems on mobile haulage hinder
normal operation? (2) In which
situations do proximity detection
systems on mobile haulage endanger
miners? Data will be used to inform the
development of technologies,
engineering controls, administrative
controls, best practices, and training
approaches that eliminate striking
fatalities and injuries caused by mobile
mining equipment.
The study population includes mine
workers in various maintenance and
production roles that work in
underground coal mines in the United
States. Total annual time burden for this
study is 45 hours, including recruitment
of mines and 250 semi-formal
interviews. Since workers will continue
to perform their assigned duties during
the optional group observations, a
burden estimate was not calculated for
this activity.
