The motor vehicle fatality rate in this
industry (7.6 fatalities/100,000 workers)
was almost nine times that for all
industries, and second only to that in
the transportation, warehousing, and
utilities industry (9.3 fatalities/100,000
workers) during 2003–2009. Nearly
every worker in the OGE industry drives
as part of their job.
Well sites are often in remote
locations, requiring workers to drive on
rural roads which may lack safety
features such as lighting, guard rails,
and adequate road grading. Workers
travel long distances from their homes
to work sites and between work sites,
putting them at increased risk of fatigue
and motor vehicle crashes. In addition,
OGE work is physically demanding,
repetitive, and often conducted in all
weather conditions. Long hours and
shiftwork are typical; 12-hour shifts for
two or more consecutive weeks are
devices in their vehicles as intervention
strategies.
Information gathered from this study
will be used to identify evidence-based
best practices in fatigue risk
management, and highlight
improvements that may be targeted to
improve OGE worker safety. The
surveys will be administered online or
with hard copies to a sample of 45
workers. We estimate that 90% of
workers (40) will complete the three
surveys electronically and the others
will opt to complete a hard copy
version. The main questionnaire will
take approximately 15 minutes to
complete. The post-intervention survey
will take approximately five minutes to
complete, and the end of shift survey
will take two minutes to complete.
The total estimated burden hours is
27. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
common. While it is speculated that
these factors (i.e., commuting practices,
job tasks, time on task, working hours,
consecutive shifts, seasonal effects) may
increase the risk for fatigue and motor
vehicle crashes, limited research has
examined this among OGE workers.
NIOSH is seeking a one-year approval
from OMB to conduct three surveys of
U.S. land-based OGE workers who drive
light-duty vehicles. The surveys will
provide detailed information about
determinants of fatigued driving and
perceptions of fatigue monitoring
devices among OGE workers, not
available elsewhere. The study will take
place among OGE field operations in
collaboration with NIOSH industry
partners who will provide access to
their vehicles and data from trip records
and accelerometers and allow
installation of 2 fatigue-detection

reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes

Medicare Part C and Part D sponsoring
organizations (Medicare Advantage
Organizations), must submit Medicare
Part C, Medicare Part D, or Medicare
Part C and Part D data (depending on
the type of contracts they have in place
with CMS). In order for the reported
data to be useful for monitoring and
performance measurement, the data
must be reliable, valid, complete, and
comparable among sponsoring
organizations. To maintain the
independence of the validation process,
sponsoring organizations are
responsible for hiring external,
independent data validation contractors
(DVCs) who meet a minimum set of
qualifications and credentials. For the
retrospective review in 2018, the DVCs
will review data submitted by
sponsoring organizations for CY2017.
The main changes for the 2018 DV are
to eliminate the Part C/D reporting
section Sponsor Oversight of Agents and
adding the Part D reporting section
