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. 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 Prevention in Health
Care Facilities Act, and (2) to evaluate
the effectiveness of the regulations in
this Act in reducing assault injuries to
nursing home workers. Our central
hypothesis is that nursing homes with
high compliance with the regulations
will have lower rates of employee
violence-related injury. NIOSH received
OMB approval (0920–0914) to evaluate
the legislation at 50 hospitals and at 40
nursing homes, to conduct a nurse
survey and to conduct a home
healthcare aide survey. Data collection
is complete for the hospitals, the nurse
survey, and the home healthcare aide
survey. We have completed 20 out of 40
nursing home interviews. We still have
20 nursing home interviews to
complete.
CDC will conduct face-to-face
interviews with the Chairs of the
Violence Prevention Committees in 20
nursing homes (10 in New Jersey and 10
in Virginia) who are in charge of
overseeing compliance efforts. The
purpose of the interviews is to measure
compliance to the state regulations:
Violence prevention policies, reporting
systems for violent events, violence
prevention committee, written violence
prevention plan, violence risk
assessments, post incident response and
violence prevention training. A
contractor will conduct the interviews.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated burden hours are 40.

Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Healthy Homes
and Lead Poisoning Surveillance
System (HHLPSS) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. CDC previously
published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection
Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on
[November 8, 2017] to obtain comments
from the public and affected agencies.
CDC did not receive comments related
to the previous notice. This notice
serves to allow an additional 30 days for
public and affected agency comments.

CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(d) 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 submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and

Proposed Project
Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning
Surveillance System (HHLPSS) (OMB
Control Number 0920–0931, expires 05/
31/2018)—Extension—National Center
for Environmental Health (NCEH),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The overarching goal of HHLPSS is to
support healthy homes surveillance
activities at the state and national levels.
CDC seeks to request an OMB approval
to extend the project for 18-months for
up to 40 state and local Healthy Homes
Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention
Programs (CLPPP) and the state-based
Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and
Surveillance (ABLES) programs. The
state programs will report information
(e.g., presence of lead paint, age of
housing, occupation of adults and type
of housing) to the CDC under a one-year
cost extension of the FY14 Funding
Opportunity Announcement (FOA No.
CDC–RFA–14–1408) titled ‘‘(PPHF)
Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention.’’
The 18-month extension will allow CDC
to collect data for the third year
E:\FR\FM\23MRN1.SGM
23MRN1
12766
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 57 / Friday, March 23, 2018 / Notices
supplement which represents the fourth
and final year of awardee blood lead
surveillance data under this program
announcement.
Over the last three years, seven states
have adopted the HHLPSS and 13 are in
beta-testing. Since October 2014, CDC
has funded up to 40 state and local
blood lead surveillance programs. All of
these programs or their subcontractors
at the local level are submitting lead
surveillance data for an additional year.
The objectives for this surveillance
system remain two-fold. First, the
HHLPSS allows CDC to systematically
track how the state and local programs
conduct case management and followup of residents with housing-related
health outcomes. Second, the system
allows for identification and collection
of information on other housing-related
risk factors. Childhood and adult lead
poisoning is just one of many adverse
health conditions that are related to
common housing deficiencies. Multiple
hazards in housing (e.g., mold, vermin,
radon and the lack of safety devices)
continue to adversely affect the health
of residents. HHLPSS offers a
coordinated, comprehensive, and
systematic public health approach to
eliminate multiple housing-related
health hazards.
HHLPSS enables flexibility to
evaluate housing where the risk for lead
poisoning is high, regardless of whether
children less than 6 years of age
currently reside there. Thus, HHLPSS
supports CDC efforts for primary
prevention of childhood and adult lead
poisoning. Over the past several decades
there has been a remarkable reduction
in environmental sources of lead,
improved protection from occupational
lead exposure, and an overall decreasing
trend in the prevalence of elevated
blood lead levels (BLLs) in U.S. adults.
As a result, the U.S. national BLL
geometric mean among adults was 1.2
mg/dL during 2009–2010. Nonetheless,
lead exposures continue to occur at
unacceptable levels. Current research
continues to find that BLLs previously
considered harmless can have harmful
effects in adults, such as decreased renal
function and increased risk for
hypertension and essential tremor at
BLLs <10 mg/dL.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated time
burden hours is 640 hours. There are no
changes to the requested burden hours
or the data collection.
