Proposed Project
EEOICPA Dose Reconstruction
Interviews and Forms, OMB No. 0920–
0530, expires 04/30/2018—Extension—
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS).
Background and Brief Description
On October 30, 2000, the Energy
Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act of 2000 (42
U.S.C. 7384–7385) was enacted. This
Act established a federal compensation
program for employees of the
Department of Energy (DOE) and certain
of its contractors, subcontractors and
vendors, who have suffered cancers and
other designated illnesses as a result of
exposures sustained in the production
and testing of nuclear weapons.
Executive Order 13179, issued on
December 7, 2000, delegated authorities
assigned to ‘‘the President’’ under the
information that may not be otherwise
available.
NIOSH uses the data collected in this
process to complete an individual dose
reconstruction that accounts, as fully as
possible, for the radiation dose incurred
by the employee in the line of duty for
DOE nuclear weapons production
programs. After dose reconstruction,
NIOSH also performs a brief, voluntary
final interview with the claimant to
explain the results and to allow the
claimant to confirm or question the
records NIOSH has compiled. This will
also be the final opportunity for the
claimant to supplement the dose
reconstruction record.
At the conclusion of the dose
reconstruction process, the claimant
submits a form to confirm that the
claimant has no further information to
provide to NIOSH about the claim at
this time. The form notifies the claimant
that signing the form allows NIOSH to
forward a dose reconstruction report to
DOL and to the claimant, and closes the
record on data used for the dose
reconstruction. Signing this form does
not indicate that the claimant agrees
with the outcome of the dose
reconstruction. The dose reconstruction
results will be supplied to the claimant
and to the DOL, the agency that will
utilize them as one part of its
determination of whether the claimant
is eligible for compensation under the
Act.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
Act to the Departments of Labor, Health
and Human Services, Energy and
Justice. The Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) was delegated
the responsibility of establishing
methods for estimating radiation doses
received by eligible claimants with
cancer applying for compensation.
NIOSH is applying the following
methods to estimate the radiation doses
of individuals applying for
compensation.
In performance of its dose
reconstruction responsibilities, under
the Act, NIOSH is providing voluntary
interview opportunities to claimants (or
their survivors) individually and
providing them with the opportunity to
assist NIOSH in documenting the work
history of the employee by
characterizing the actual work tasks
performed. In addition, NIOSH and the
claimant may identify incidents that
may have resulted in undocumented
radiation exposures, characterizing
radiological protection and monitoring
practices, and identify co-workers and
other witnesses as may be necessary to
confirm undocumented information. In
this process, NIOSH uses a computer
assisted telephone interview (CATI)
system, which allows interviews to be
conducted more efficiently and quickly
as opposed to a paper-based interview
instrument. Both interviews are
voluntary and failure to participate in
either or both interviews will not have
a negative effect on the claim, although
voluntary participation may assist the
claimant by adding important

Proposed Project
Assessing Education Agency Staff
Perceptions of School Climate and
Youth Access to Services (OMB #0920–
1048, Expiration Date 02/28/2018)—
Revision—Division of Adolescent and
School Health (DASH), National Center
for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and
TB Prevention, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) requests a one-year
OMB approval for the revision of the
information collection with OMB
control number 0920–1048. The
information collection uses two
separate, but complementary,
information collections to conduct
assessment of prevention efforts that are
taking place in three local education
agencies (LEA) funded by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) under PS13–1308: Promoting
Adolescent Health through SchoolBased HIV/STD Prevention and SchoolBased Surveillance.
This data collection will provide data
and reports for the funded LEAs, and
will allow the LEAs to identify areas of
the program that are working well and
other areas that will need additional
improvement. In addition, the findings
will allow CDC to determine the
potential impact of currently
recommended strategies and make
changes to those recommendations if
necessary. This revision request
involves no changes to instruments,
protocols, or burden estimates per
respondent or per data collection cycle;
however, annualized burden estimates
have technical changes due to changes
in the number of data collections
planned and the length of clearance
requested.
The first information collection will
involve collecting information from a
total of up to 735 LEA employees in 3
LEAs through a Web-based instrument
tailored to each LEA. The instrument
will include items that ask education
agency staff about professional
development, referral practices,
community linkages/partners, school
climate, school policies and practices,
and staff comfort levels in helping
address the health needs of youth.
The second information collection
will be conducted in only one LEA
(Broward County Public Schools) and is
designed to provide an in-depth
assessment of one LEA as a way to
supplement the Web-based data
collection with more detailed
information. This information collection
will involve in-person interviews with
up to 44 LEA employees (2 district level
employees, and up to 6 school level
employees in each of 7 schools) to learn
about six domains that can impact
school climate: Policy, practice,
programs, professional development,
place, and pedagogy.
CDC will administer both the Webbased instrument and in-person
interviews in the 2017–2018 school year
as the final data collection in a series of
data collections for the five-year PS13–
1308 cooperative agreement. Although
some staff may have participated in
previous years’ data collections, this is
not a longitudinal design and individual
staff member responses will not be
tracked across the years. CDC will not
collect personally identifiable
information.
All school staff members will receive
informed consent forms prior to
participation in the information
collection. The consent form explains
the study and also explains participants
may choose not to complete the Webbased instrument or participate in the
interviews with no penalty and no
impact on their job or relationship with
the LEA. Participation is completely
voluntary.
For the Web-based instrument, the
estimated burden per response ranges
from 20–25 minutes, and burden
estimates presented here are based on
the assumption of a 25-minute response
time per response. The estimated
annualized burden of this data
collection is 306 hours for respondents.
For the interviews, the estimated
burden per response ranges from 60–90
minutes, depending on whether the
respondent is a district-level
administrator, a school-level
administrator, or another school staff
member. The burden estimates
presented here are based on the
assumption of a one-hour response time
per district-level and school-level
administrator response and a 1.5-hour
response time per school staff member
response. The estimated annualized
burden of this data collection is 58
hours for respondents.
The two information collections
combine for a total estimated
annualized burden of 364 hours for
respondents. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

Background and Brief Description
The regulatory authority for the
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) certification
program for respiratory protective
devices is found in the Mine Safety and
Health Amendments Act of 1977 (30
U.S.C. 577a, 651 et seq., and 657(g)) and
the Occupational Safety and Health Act
of 1970 (30 U.S.C. 3, 5, 7, 811, 842(h),
844). These regulations have, as their
basis, the performance tests and criteria
for approval of respirators used by
millions of American construction
workers, miners, painters, asbestos

removal workers, fabric mill workers,
and fire fighters.
Regulations of the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
also require the use of NIOSH-approved
respirators. These regulations also
establish methods for respirator
manufacturers to submit respirators for
testing under the regulation and have
them certified as NIOSH-approved if
they meet the criteria given in the above
regulation. This data collection was
formerly named Respiratory Protective
Devices 30 CFR part 11, but in 1995, the
respirator standard was moved to 42
CFR part 84.
In accordance with 42 CFR part 84,
NIOSH performs the following
activities: (1) Issues certificates of
approval for respirators which have met
specified construction, performance,
and protection requirements; (2)
establishes procedures and
requirements to be met in filing
applications for approval; (3) specifies
minimum requirements and methods to
be employed by NIOSH and by
applicants in conducting inspections,
examinations, and tests to determine
effectiveness of respirators; (4)
establishes a schedule of fees to be
charged to applicants for testing and
certification, and (5) establishes
approval labeling requirements. To
establish the scope and intent of
request, NIOSH collects information
from those who request services under
42 CFR part 84.
Information collected from requests
for respirator approval functions
includes contact information and
information about factors likely to affect
respirator performance and use. Such
information includes, but is not
necessarily limited to, respirator design,
manufacturing methods and materials,
quality assurance plans and procedures,
and user instruction and draft labels, as
specified in the regulation.
The main instrument for data
collection for respirator approval
functions is the Standard Application
