SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
A. Purpose
The Federal Hazardous Substance Act
and Hazardous Material Transportation
Act prescribe standards for packaging of
hazardous substances. To meet the
requirements of the Acts, the General
Services Administration Regulation
prescribes provision 552.223–72,
Hazardous Material Information, to be
inserted in solicitations and contracts
that provides for delivery of hazardous
materials on a Free On Board (FOB)
origin basis.
This information collection will be
accomplished by means of the provision
which requires the contractor to identify
for each National Stock Number (NSN),
the DOT Shipping Name, Department of
Transportation (DOT) Hazards Class,
and whether the item requires a DOT
label. Contracting Officers and technical
personnel use the information to
monitor and ensure contract
requirements based on law and
regulation.
Properly identified and labeled items
of hazardous material allows for
appropriate handling of such items
throughout GSA’s supply chain system.
The information is used by GSA, stored
in an NSN database and provided to
GSA customers. Non-Collection and/or
a less frequently conducted collection of
the information resulting from GSAR
provision 552.223–72 would prevent the
Government from being properly
notified. Government activities may be
hindered from apprising their
employees of; (1) All hazards to which
they may be exposed; (2) Relative
symptoms and appropriate emergency
treatment; and (3) Proper conditions and
precautions for safe use and exposure.

have practical utility; whether our

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
PO 00000

technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions

5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
CDC Worksite Health ScoreCard—
Revision—(OMB# 0920–1014 Exp.
02/28/2019) National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In the United States, chronic diseases
such as heart disease, obesity and
diabetes are among the leading causes of
death and disability. Although chronic
diseases are among the most common
and costly health problems, they are
also among the most preventable.
Adopting healthy behaviors—such as
eating nutritious foods, being physically
active and avoiding tobacco use—can
prevent the devastating effects and
reduce the rates of these diseases.
Employers are recognizing the role
they can play in creating healthy work
environments and providing employees
with opportunities to make healthy
lifestyle choices. To support these
efforts, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) developed an
online organizational assessment tool
called the CDC Worksite Health
Scorecard (‘‘Scorecard’’).
The Scorecard is a tool designed to
help employers assess whether they
have implemented evidence-based
health promotion interventions or
strategies in their worksites to prevent
heart disease, stroke, and related
conditions such as hypertension,
diabetes, and obesity. The updated,
validated, and pilot tested instrument
contains 154 core health topic yes/no
questions, eight core worksite
demographic questions, with an
additional eight optional worksite
demographic questions divided into 19
modules (risk factors/conditions/
demographics) that assess how
evidence-based health promotion
strategies are implemented at a
worksite. These strategies include
health promoting counseling services,
environmental supports, policies, health
plan benefits, and other worksite
programs shown to be effective in
preventing heart disease, stroke, and
related health conditions. Employers
can use this tool to assess how a
comprehensive health promotion and
disease prevention program is offered to
their employees, to help identify
program gaps, and to prioritize high
impact strategies for health promotion at
the worksite.
