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.

In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Understanding
How Discounting Affects Decision
Making and Adoption of Prevention
Through Design Solutions 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 December
10, 2018 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC
received no 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

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-

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
16863
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 78 / Tuesday, April 23, 2019 / Notices
of fall-prevention solutions, this project
will use the behavioral economic
principles to assess the trade-offs small
business owners make among the cost of
fall prevention solutions, the amount of
effort require to assemble them, and the
amount of time they take to assemble.
One of the behavioral economic
principles is discounting, in which the
value of a product or outcome decreases
as the cost, effort, or delay associated
with it increases. For example, smallbusiness owners may ‘‘discount’’ the
value of a fall-prevention solution if it
requires great effort to assemble.
The survey will include instruments
to obtain demographic information (age,
gender, income, etc.), organizational
safety information (e.g., ‘‘Has someone
at your place of work ever been
injured?’’), and behavioral economic
discounting assessments. For the
behavioral economic questions in the
survey, participants will be asked to
make choices about hypothetical, but
realistic, scenarios that assess the
influence of several factors on the
patterns of decision-making. To date, no
study has quantitatively assessed the
safety-related decision-making
processes of small business employers
from a behavioral economic perspective.
Previous studies in this area consist of
qualitative studies of some factors that
affect occupational safety and health of
small businesses. This study will
address a knowledge gap in the
professional and scientific literature by
contributing quantitative data to a
problem that has been overlooked. The
results for this study are meant for
theory development and are not
intended to be nationally representative.
The sample size for this survey will
be 100 small business employers in the
wholesale or retail trade sectors. This
sample size is based on a power analysis
which indicated that 100 respondents
would be sufficient to detect any
correlations between the organizational
or demographic variables and the
behavioral economic measures of
decision making. Each web-based
survey will take approximately 30
minutes to complete, resulting in an
annualized burden estimate of 50 hours.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

(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;
