reaching beyond the workers to the
general public.
As mandated in the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L.
91–596), the mission of NIOSH is to
conduct research and investigations on
occupational safety and health. Related
to this mission, the purpose of this
project is to conduct research that will
provide a detailed description of nonfatal occupational injuries and
exposures incurred by fire fighters. This
information will offer detailed insight
into events that lead to the largest
number of nonfatal injuries and
exposures among fire fighters. The
project will use two related data
sources. The first source is data
abstracted from medical records of fire
fighters treated in a nationally stratified
sample of emergency departments.
These data are routinely collected
through the occupational supplement to
the National Electronic Injury
Surveillance System (Neiss–Work). The
second data source, for which NIOSH is
seeking OMB approval for three years, is
responses to telephone interview
surveys of the injured and exposed fire
fighters identified within Neiss–Work.
National Electronic Injury Surveillance
System telephone interview studies.
Each telephone interview will take
approximately 30 minutes to complete,
resulting in an annualized burden
estimate of 120 hours. Using the routine
Neiss–Work data, an analysis of all
identified EMS workers will be
performed to determine if there are
differences between the telephone
interview responder and non-responder
groups.
The Division of Safety Research (DSR)
within NIOSH is conducting this
project. DSR has a strong interest in
improving surveillance of fire fighter
injuries and exposures to provide the
information necessary for effectively
targeting and implementing prevention
efforts and, consequently, reducing
occupational injuries and exposures to
fire fighters. The Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC) will also
contribute to this project, as they are
responsible for coordinating the
collection of all Neiss–Work data and
for overseeing the collection of all
telephone interview data.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
The proposed telephone interview
surveys will supplement Neiss–Work
data with an extensive description of
fire fighter injuries and exposures,
including worker characteristics, injury
types, injury circumstances, injury
outcomes, and use of personal
protective equipment. Previous reports
describing occupational injuries and
exposures to fire fighters provide
limited details on specific regions or
sub-segments of the population. As
compared to these earlier studies, the
scope of the telephone interview data
will be broader as it includes sampled
cases nationwide and has no limitations
in regards to type of employment (i.e.,
volunteer versus career). Results from
the telephone interviews will be
weighted and reported as national
estimates.
The sample size for the telephone
interview survey is estimated to be
approximately 240 fire fighters annually
for the proposed three year duration of
the study. This is based on the number
of fire fighters identified in previous
years of Neiss–Work data and a 30 to
40% response rate that is comparable to
the rate of previously conducted

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services policy stipulates that
committee membership be balanced in
terms of points of view represented, and
the committee’s function. Appointments
shall be made without discrimination
on the basis of age, race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity, HIV status, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic
status. Nominees must be U.S. citizens,
and cannot be full-time employees of
the U.S. Government. Current
participation on federal workgroups or
prior experience serving on a federal
advisory committee does not disqualify
a candidate; however, HHS policy is to
avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple
committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government
Employees, requiring the filing of
financial disclosure reports at the
beginning and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates
for BSC, NCEH/ATSDR membership
each year, and provides a slate of
nominees for consideration to the
Secretary of HHS for final selection.
HHS notifies selected candidates of
their appointment near the start of the
term in June, or as soon as the HHS
selection process is completed. Note
that the need for different expertise
varies from year to year and a candidate
who is not selected in one year may be
reconsidered in a subsequent year.
Nominees must be U.S. citizens, and
cannot be full-time employees of the
U.S. Government. Candidates should
submit the following items:
D Current curriculum vitae, including
complete contact information
(telephone numbers, mailing address,
email address)
D At least one letter of
recommendation from person(s) not
employed by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services.
(Candidates may submit letter(s) from
current HHS employees if they wish,
but at least one letter must be submitted
by a person not employed by an HHS
agency (e.g., CDC, NIH, FDA, etc.).
Nominations may be submitted by the
candidate him- or herself, or by the
person/organization recommending the
candidate.
The Director, Management Analysis
and Services Office, has been delegated
the authority to sign Federal Register
notices pertaining to announcements of
meetings and other committee
management activities for both CDC and
the Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry.

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Title: 2019 National Survey of Early
Care and Education.
OMB No.: 0970–0391.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity as part of the 2019
National Survey of Early Care and
Education (NSECE) to be conducted
October 2018 through August 2019. The
objective of the 2019 NSECE is to
document the nation’s current supply of
early care and education services (that
is, home-based providers, center-based
providers, and the center-based provider
workforce). The 2019 NSECE will
collect information on child care and
early education providers that serve
families with children from birth to 13
years in the country, as well as the early
care and education (ECE) workforce
providing these services. The proposed
collection will consist of three
coordinated nationally representative
surveys:
1. A survey of individuals providing
care for children under the age of 13 in
a residential setting (Home-based
Provider Interview),
2. A survey of providers of care to
children ages 0 through 5 years of age
(not yet in kindergarten) in a nonresidential setting (Center-based
Provider Interview), and
3. A survey conducted with
individuals employed in center-based
child care programs working directly
with children in classrooms (Workforce
Interview).
Both the home-based and centerbased provider surveys will require a
screener to determine eligibility for the
main survey.
The 2019 NSECE data collection
efforts will provide urgently needed
information about the supply of child
care and early education available to
families across all income levels,
including providers serving low-income
families of various racial, ethnic,
language, and cultural backgrounds, in
diverse geographic areas. The provider
data will include programs that do or do
not participate in the child care subsidy
program, are regulated, registered, or
otherwise appear in state or national
lists and are home-based providers or,
center-based programs (e.g., private,
community-based child care, Head
Start, and state or local Pre-K). Accurate
data on the availability and
characteristics of early care and
education programs are essential to
assess the current and changing
landscape of child care and early
education programs since the 2012
NSECE data collection, and to provide
insights to advance policy and
initiatives in the ECE field.
Respondents: Home-based providers
serving children under 13 years, centerbased child care providers (including
public schools) serving children ages 0
through 5 years of age (not yet in
kindergarten), and selected instructional
staff members from these center-based
child care providers.
