Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled CDC Worksite
Health Scorecard 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 October

public and affected agencies. CDC
received two 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

Proposed Project
CDC Worksite Health Scorecard (OMB
Control No. 0920–1014, Exp 02/28/
2019)—Revision—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has established the
Worksite Health Scorecard (Scorecard),
an online organizational assessment
tool, to enable employers to assess the
number of evidence-based health
promotion interventions or strategies in
their worksites to promote employee
health and well-being.
The Scorecard will support small,
mid-size, and large employers with
three primary goals: (1) Assist
employers in identifying gaps in their
health promotion programs, and help
them to prioritize high-impact strategies
for health promotion at their worksites;
(2) Improve the health and wellbeing of
employees and their families through
science-based workplace health
interventions and promising practices;
and (3) Support research and increase
understanding of the organizational
programs, policies, and practices that
employers of various sizes and industry
sectors have implemented to support
healthy lifestyle behaviors.
CDC is requesting a revision to a
previously approved data collection.
CDC plans to use an updated version of
the Scorecard to expand the number of
employers the new Scorecard is offered
to. The updated Scorecard is based on
a 2017 pilot test to determine the
validity and reliability involving 89
employers (each represented by two
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
4467
knowledgeable employees) who
completed the survey and follow-up
telephone interviews to gather general
impressions of the Scorecard—
particularly the new modules— and also
to identify any problems with the
wording and interpretation of the
questions and understand the
respondent’s information retrieval and
decision-making processes when
completing the instrument.
The revised instrument includes some
reorganization of the instrument and
minor revisions, particularly to the new
modules/questions and the question
prompts, to better explain and define
the context, concepts, or administration
of the strategies and interventions
contained in the questions. The revised
instrument also deleted several
questions that respondents indicated
were unattainable or generated
confusion.
CDC will provide outreach to, and
register approximately 800 employers
per year to use the online survey, which
is open to employers of all sizes,
industry sectors, and geographic
locations across the country. Scorecard
users will create a user account,
complete the online assessment and
receive an immediate feedback report
that summarizes the current status of
their worksite health program; identifies
gaps in current programming;
benchmarks individual employer results
against other users of the system; and
provides access to worksite health tools
and resources to address employer gaps
and priority program areas.
CDC will use the information
collected to evaluate the effectiveness of
the Scorecard in terms of (1) identifying
success drivers for building and
maintaining successful workplace
health programs; (2) raising awareness
and knowledge of science-based
worksite health programs, policies and
practices; and (3) develop additional
worksite health tools and resources for
employers. The information will also be
used to evaluate the impact of the CDC
Worksite Health Scorecard on employer
adoption of worksite health programs,
policies, and environmental supports.
CDC requests a three-year OMB
approval for this project. Participation
in the Scorecard is voluntary and there
are no costs to respondents other than
their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 667.

Annual Submission of the Ingredients
Added to, and the Quantity of Nicotine

Change—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Smokeless tobacco products (SLT) are
associated with many health problems.
Using smokeless tobacco: Can lead to
nicotine addiction; causes cancer of the
mouth, esophagus, and pancreas; is
associated with diseases of the mouth;
can increase risks for early delivery and
stillbirth when used during pregnancy;
can cause nicotine poisoning in
children; and may increase the risk for
death from heart disease and stroke.
The CDC’s Office on Smoking and
Health (OSH) has the primary
responsibility for the HHS smoking and
health program. As required by the
Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco

15 U.S.C. 4401 et seq., Pub. L. 99–252),
CDC collects a list of ingredients added
to tobacco in the manufacture of
smokeless tobacco products and a
specification of the quantity of nicotine
contained in each product. HHS has
delegated responsibility for
implementing the required information
collection to CDC’s OSH. Respondents
are manufacturers, packagers, or
importers (or their representatives) of
smokeless tobacco products.
Respondents are not required to submit
specific forms; however, they are
required to meet reporting guidelines
and to submit the ingredient report by
chemical name and Chemical Abstract
Service (CAS) Registration Number,
consistent with accepted reporting
practices for other companies that are
required to report ingredients added to
other consumer products. Typically,
respondents submit a summary report to
CDC with the ingredient information for
multiple products, or a statement that
there are no changes to their previously
submitted ingredient report.
Respondents may submit the required
information to CDC through a
designated representative. The
information collection is subject to strict
confidentiality provisions.
Ingredient reports for new SLT
products are due at the time of first
importation. Thereafter, ingredient
reports are due annually on March 31.
Information is submitted to CDC by
mailing a written report on the
respondent’s letterhead, by CD, threeinch floppy disk, or thumb drive.
Electronic mail submissions are not
accepted. Annual submission reports
are mailed to Attention: FCLAA
Program Manager, Office on Smoking
and Health, National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, 4770 Buford Highway
NE, MS S107–7, Atlanta, GA 30341–
3717.
Upon receipt and verification of the
annual nicotine and ingredient report,
CDC issues a Certificate of Compliance
to the respondent. As deemed
appropriate by the Secretary of HHS,
HHS is authorized to use the
information to report to Congress the
