information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on a
proposed information collection project
titled Assessing impact of the NIOSH

and demonstrate the extent to which its
various research efforts are likely to or
have led to improvements in workplace
safety and health.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. 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 submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Assessing impact of the NIOSH
research—New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
34585
(NIOSH) is responsible for conducting
research and making recommendations
to prevent worker injury and illness, as
authorized in Section 20(a)(1) of the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (29
U.S.C. 669). NIOSH is strongly
committed to program evaluation as a
way to maximize its contributions to
improved occupational safety and
health. NIOSH is requesting a new
generic information collection request
for a three-year period that will support
the timely information collection
needed for upcoming program
evaluation activities, such as external
reviews of NIOSH research programs
(which fulfill a Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA)
requirement, studies to understand the
economic value of NIOSH research,
process evaluations of NIOSH programs,
and evaluations of large research
projects. NIOSH needs to collect
information about research
dissemination and achieved outcomes
from key audiences (grantees, potential
NIOSH research users and relevant
safety and health experts) for
accountability and program
improvement purposes. NIOSH is
specifically interested in assessing
intermediate outcomes—the use of
NIOSH research products and findings
by external stakeholders and partners to
improve safety and health—as evidence
of research impact. Being able to collect
information on intermediate outcomes
from grantees, as well as past, present
and potential future users of NIOSH
research would allow us to provide
more robust evidence of use or adoption
of NIOSH research products or findings.
The evaluation findings and
recommendations from the various
program evaluation activities described
above will be used as an input for future
direction of the programs and
incorporated into analyses and reports
to either investigate the value of
NIOSH’s research, or improve program
operations to maximize impact. Data
will be collected through semistructured key informant interviews
with grantees, potential or known users
of NIOSH research and subject matter
experts in safety and health. NIOSH
estimates that 30 respondents will be
involved in phone interviews, which
would last between 30–60 minutes.
However, participants might be
burdened an additional hour reading the
invitation email and providing relevant
documents such as evidence of research
impact. Therefore, the estimated burden
for each participant is two hours. The
total estimated burden is 60 hours.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

the Caribbean and Americas in 2014.
Zika virus was first detected in the
Americas in Brazil in 2014, spread
throughout the Americas, has since been
associated with devastating birth
defects, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and is
