Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division of HighConsequence Pathogens and Pathology (DHCPP), Bacterial Special Pathogens Branch (BSPB), requests three years of OMB approval for a reinstatement to the approved ICR ‘‘Canine Leptospirosis Surveillance in Puerto Rico.’’ Approved methods of information collection will not change. Active surveillance allows for the collection of prospective data on acute cases to determine the incidence and distribution of leptospirosis in dogs, assess risk factors for infection, characterize circulating Leptospira serovars and species, assess applicability of vaccines currently in use based on serovar determination, and assess rodent, livestock, and wildlife reservoirs of leptospirosis based on PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 infecting serovars found in dogs. Findings from this study will aid in the development of evidence-based, targeted interventions for the prevention of canine leptospirosis, be used to focus human leptospirosis surveillance efforts, and guide future investigations on leptospirosis in humans and animals in Puerto Rico. The information collection for which approval is sought is in accordance with BSPB’s mission to prevent illness, disability, or death caused by bacterial zoonotic diseases through surveillance, epidemic investigations, epidemiologic and laboratory research, training and public education. Authorizing Legislation comes from Section 301 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241). Successful execution of BSPB’s public health mission requires data collection activities in collaboration with the state health department in Puerto Rico and with local veterinary clinics and animal shelters participating in the study. These activities include collecting information about dogs that meet the study case definition for a suspect case of leptospirosis seen at participating veterinary clinics and shelters. Participating veterinarians and their veterinary staff collect information by interviewing the dog owner (shelters are an exception as dog will not have an owner) and reviewing medical and administrative records, as necessary. Basic information about the participating sites will also be collected for study management and to enhance data analysis. Information will be collected using paper forms and provided in Spanish. Staff at participating sites find it easier to complete a paper copy when abstracting medical record information and interviewing owners for information about their dog’s risk factors and symptoms. Study coordinators will enter collected data into an electronic database. The types of information being collected include information about the dog’s signalment, location of residence, environmental risk factors, vaccination history, clinical signs and symptoms, E:\FR\FM\23APN1.SGM 23APN1 16862 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 78 / Tuesday, April 23, 2019 / Notices laboratory results, and clinical outcome. Approval of this reinstatement ICR will allow BSPB to continue to collect these information which can help inform animal public health and will help contribute to a One Health understanding of leptospirosis in Puerto Rico. BSPB estimates involvement of at least 411 respondents (385 from the general public and 26 veterinarians and their veterinary staff) and estimates a total of 168 hours of burden for research activities each year. The collected information will not impose a cost burden on the respondents beyond that associated with their time to provide the required data.

Proposed Project Understanding How Discounting Affects Decision Making and Adoption of Prevention Through Design Solutions—New—National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description As mandated in the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 91–596), the mission of NIOSH is to conduct research and investigations on occupational safety and health. This project will focus on understanding the decision-making processes of small wholesale and small retail businesses in regards to the adoption of fall- PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 26 26 26 624 Number of responses per respondent 1 24 24 1 Average burden per response (in hours) 5/60 1/60 10/60 5/60 prevention solutions. Slips, trips, and falls are major sources of workplace injury across all industry sectors and represent a significant burden. In the wholesale and retail trade sectors, slips, trips, and falls account for 25% of all reported injuries. By definition, small businesses employ fewer numbers of people, therefore a slip, trip, or fall resulting in an injury is less likely to occur in any given establishment. Small business employers may underestimate the risks associated with occupational slips, trips, and falls because they have not experienced them and therefore do not take the necessary steps to prevent them. One of the best ways to prevent and control occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities is to ‘‘design out’’ or minimize hazards and risks. NIOSH’s Prevention Through Design Initiative focuses on this concept through the inclusion of prevention considerations in all designs that impact workers. Although employers’ decisions can lead to the successful implementation of Prevention Through Design, fallprevention solutions are not well understood. More information is needed to better understand the motivational, social, and organizational factors that affect employers’ decisions to adopt fallprevention solutions. This project will combine traditional surveys with behavioral economic methodologies to understand the decision-making processes related to the adoption of fallprevention solutions. By using behavioral economic principles and methods, this study will pose hypothetical, but realistic, scenarios to small business employers to assess the influence of several factors on the patterns of decisions. One of the goals of the study is to assess the subjective value of fall-prevention solutions based on their costs and effort required to use them. To quantify the subjective value E:\FR\FM\23APN1.SGM 23APN1
