terms of points of view represented, and
the committee’s function. Appointments
shall be made without discrimination
on the basis of age, race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity, HIV status, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic
status. Nominees must be U.S. citizens.
Current participation on federal
workgroups or prior experience serving
on a federal advisory committee does
not disqualify a candidate; however,
HHS policy is to avoid excessive
individual service on advisory
committees and multiple committee
memberships. Committee members are
Special Government Employees,
requiring the filing of financial
disclosure reports at the beginning of
and annually during their terms. NIOSH
identifies potential candidates and
provides a slate of nominees for
consideration to the Director of CDC for
STAC membership each year; CDC
reviews the proposed slate of
candidates, and provides a slate of
nominees for consideration to the
Secretary of HHS for final selection.
HHS notifies selected candidates of
their appointment near the start of the
term in October, or as soon as the HHS
selection process is completed. Note
that the need for different expertise
varies from year to year and a candidate
who is not selected in one year may be
reconsidered in a subsequent year.
Candidates should submit the
following items:
D Current curriculum vitae, including
complete contact information
(telephone numbers, mailing address,
email address);
D The category of membership
(environmental medicine or
environmental health specialist,
occupational physician, pulmonary
physician, representative of WTC
responders, representative of certifiedeligible WTC survivors, industrial
hygienist, toxicologist, epidemiologist,
or mental health professional) that the
candidate is qualified to represent;
D A summary of the background,
experience, and qualifications that
demonstrates the candidate’s suitability
for the nominated membership category;
and
D At least one letter of
recommendation from a person(s) not
employed by HHS. (Candidates may
submit letter(s) from current HHS
employees if they wish, but at least one
letter must be submitted by a person not
employed by an HHS agency (e.g., CDC,
NIH, FDA, etc.).
Nominations may be submitted by the
candidate him- or herself, or by the
person/organization recommending the
candidate.

Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Evaluation of
the third decade of the National
Occupational Research Agenda (NORA)
Council Effectiveness 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 April 19,
2018 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC did
not receive 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
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or

Proposed Project
Evaluation of the Third Decade of the
National Occupational Research Agenda
(NORA) Council Effectiveness—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
(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). In 1995–1996, NIOSH saw
an opportunity to enhance its ability to
accomplish its mission through
partnerships that involved a broad
national stakeholder base in
occupational safety and health. With
stakeholder input, NIOSH developed
and launched a partnership program
titled the National Occupational
Research Agenda (NORA) in 1996.
Participation in NORA includes
stakeholders from universities, large and
small businesses, professional societies,
government agencies, and worker
organizations. NORA runs in ten-year
cycles, with the first decade running
1996–2006, the second 2006–2016, and
the third 2016–2026.
The structure of NORA has evolved
over time, and now, in the third decade,
it is organized into ten industry sectors
based on major areas of the U.S.
economy, and seven health and safety
cross-sectors organized according to the
major health and safety issues affecting
the U.S. working population. The work
of the sectors and cross-sectors is
managed through a partnership
structure of councils. Each of the 17
councils develops and maintains an
agenda for the decade for its sector. The
sector agendas become part of the
E:\FR\FM\24MYN1.SGM
24MYN1
24150
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 101 / Friday, May 24, 2019 / Notices
national agenda for improvements in
occupational safety and health through
research and partnerships. Representing
all stakeholders, the councils use an
open process to set research objectives,
share information, encourage
partnerships, and promote improved
workplace practices.
NIOSH is requesting a 12-month OMB
approval to administer a survey to
NORA council members and leaders. As
the steward of NORA, it is NIOSH’s
responsibility to ensure that councils,
which are central to the work of NORA,
are operating well. Without this data
collection, NIOSH’s internal review of
NORA would lack critical stakeholder
input from its many non-Federal
partners.
The target population is all current
and former members and leaders of each
of the 17 NORA councils in the third
decade of NORA. The web-based survey
requests information on council
activities, the effectiveness of the
council and its processes, and
suggestions for improving the
effectiveness and impact of NORA
councils in the future.
NIOSH will invite approximately 425
non-Federal NORA Sector council
members to complete the web-based
survey. Participation is voluntary and
the estimated burden per response is 12
minutes. Based on experience with
similar information collections, NIOSH
estimates receipt of 225 completed
responses. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden is 45
hours.

concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each 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.
