Proposed Project National Vital Statistics Report Forms (OMB Control Number 0920–0213, expires 04/30/2018)—Revision— National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The compilation of national vital statistics dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and has been conducted since 1960 by the Division of Vital Statistics of the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC. The collection of the data is authorized by 42 U.S.C. 242k. This submission requests approval to collect the monthly and annually summary statistics for three years. The Monthly Vital Statistics Report forms provide counts of monthly occurrences of births, deaths, and infant deaths. Similar data have been published since 1937 and are the sole source of these data at the National level. The data are used by the Department of Health and Human Services and by other government, academic, and private research and commercial organizations in tracking changes in trends of vital events. Respondents for the Monthly Vital Statistics Reports Form are registration officials in each State and Territory, the District of Columbia, and New York City. This form is also designed to collect counts of monthly occurrences of births, deaths, and infant deaths immediately following the month of occurrence. The Annual Vital Statistics Occurrence Report Form collects final annual counts of marriages and divorces by month for each State and Territory, the District of Columbia, and New York City as well as 33 counties in New Mexico. These final counts are usually available from State or county officials about eight months after the end of the data year. The data are widely used by government, academic, private research, and commercial organizations in tracking changes in trends of family formation and dissolution. This submission contains no changes to the actual data collection forms. However, the respondent numbers for the monthly and annual forms have shifted from 91 and 58 respectively to 58 and 91, since the 33 New Mexico Counties only send marriage and divorce information that is now only captured in the annual report. Consequently, the total burden has been reduced from 175 hours to 139 hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.

E:\FR\FM\23MRN1.SGM 23MRN1 12765 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 57 / Friday, March 23, 2018 / Notices Healthcare workers are nearly five times more likely to be victims of violence than workers in all industries combined. While healthcare workers are not at particularly high risk for job-related homicide, nearly 60% of all nonfatal assaults occurring in private industry are experienced in healthcare.

related homicide, nearly 60% of all nonfatal assaults occurring in 
private industry are experienced in healthcare. Six states have enacted 
laws to reduce violence against healthcare workers by requiring 
workplace violence prevention programs.
    However, little is understood about how effective these laws are in 
reducing violence against healthcare workers.
    The long-term goal of the proposed project is to reduce violence 
against healthcare workers. The objective of the proposed study is: (1) 
To examine nursing home compliance with the New Jersey Violence

injuries to nursing home workers. Our central hypothesis is that 
nursing homes with high compliance with the regulations will have lower
