Download as PDF 3712 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 18 / Friday, January 26, 2018 / Notices funding to 70 grantees under ‘‘Cancer Prevention and Control Programs for State, Territorial, and Tribal Organizations (DP17–1701).’’ NBCCEDP grantees include states or their bona fide agents; U.S. territories; and tribes or tribal organizations. The purpose of NBCCEDP is to increase breast and cervical cancer screening rates among women residing within defined geographical locations (as determined by the funded program) who are at or below 250% of the federal poverty level; aged 40–64 years for breast cancer services, and aged 21–64 years for cervical cancer services; and under- or uninsured. The NBCCEDP was significantly redesigned in 2017 to expand its focus on direct service provision to include implementation of evidence-based and annual clinic-level data for all partnering health system clinic sites— an estimated 6 clinics per grantee for breast cancer data and 6 clinics per grantee for cervical cancer data. All information will be reported to CDC electronically. The proposed information collections will allow CDC to gauge progress in meeting NBCCEDP program goals and monitor implementation activities, evaluate outcomes, and identify grantee technical assistance needs. In addition, findings will inform program improvement and help identify successful activities that need to be maintained, replicated, or expanded. CDC seeks a three-year OMB approval. Participation is required for NBCCEDP grantees. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. interventions (EBIs) intended to increase breast and cervical cancer screening at the population level. Based on the redesigned NBCCEDP, the information collection plan has also been redesigned. CDC is required to monitor and evaluate processes and outcomes related to the NBCCEDP. CDC proposes two forms of information collection. First, the NBCCEDP Grantee Survey was reconstructed to reflect the focus of the redesigned program under DP17–1701. The grantee survey will be submitted to CDC annually. Second, CDC proposes to collect clinic-level data to assess EBI implementation and the NBCCEDP’s primary outcome of interest—breast and cervical screening rates within partner health system clinics.

Key functions of the Advisory Board include providing advice on the development of probability of causation guidelines that have been promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as a final rule; advice on methods of dose reconstruction, which have also been promulgated by HHS as a final rule; advice on the scientific validity and quality of dose estimation and reconstruction efforts being performed for purposes of the compensation program; and advice on petitions to add classes of workers to the Special Exposure Cohort (SEC). In December 2000, the President delegated responsibility for funding, staffing, and operating the Advisory Board to HHS, which subsequently delegated this authority to CDC.

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. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help: 1. 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; 2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. 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 submissions of responses. 5. Assess information collection costs. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed Project Fatigued Driving among Oil and Gas Extraction workers: Risks and Interventions—New—National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 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 Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, Public Law 9–596 (Section 20) [a][1] authorizes NIOSH to conduct research to advance the health and safety of workers. Transportation incidents are the leading cause of death in the U.S. Oil & Gas extraction (OGE) industry, resulting in over 40% of all workplace fatalities. E:\FR\FM\26JAN1.SGM 26JAN1
