Proposed Project Online training for law enforcement to reduce risks associated with shift work and long work hours—NEW— National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Law enforcement officers work in stressful and dangerous conditions to enforce law and order, prevent crime, and protect persons and property. Police often work during the evening, at night, and sometimes irregular and long hours. Shift work and long work hours are linked to many health and safety risks due to disturbances to sleep, circadian rhythms, and personal relationships. These work schedules and inadequate sleep are likely critical contributors to the many health problems seen in police: Shorter life spans, high occupational injury rates, and burden of chronic illnesses. One important strategy to reduce these risks is training programs to inform employers and law enforcement officers about the risks and strategies to reduce the risks. This is a new Information Collection Request for one year of data collection. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is authorized to carry out this data collection through Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.

Once finalized, the training will be available on the NIOSH website. The training will be pilot tested with 30 recent graduates of a police academy in their first field experience and 30 experienced officers. Study staff will recruit 60 law enforcement officers during a 30-minute phone call. All will work full time on fixed night shifts. The pilot test will use a pretest/posttest design to examine sleep (both duration and quality), worktime sleepiness, and knowledge retained. Pre-test measures will be collected two weeks before the training. Post-test measures will be collected the week of the training, one week after the training and at weeks 11 and 12 of the study. Additional post-test measures will include feedback about the training and if specific behaviors changed. Before starting the pretest, the respondent will sign an informed consent form. The pilot pre-test will start with the respondent filling out a 10 minute online survey that includes four short surveys: (1) Demographic information and work experience; (2) the Epworth Sleepiness Scale; (3) the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; and (4) a knowledge test. The respondent will be fitted with a wrist actigraph, which will record activity and estimate the times of sleep. The respondents will keep an online sleep activity diary and wear the actigraph continuously during weeks one to four of the study. The online sleep activity diary takes approximately two minutes a day to complete. The sleep diary and actigraph are being used together to obtain a more accurate timing of respondent’s sleep and activity. During the third week of the study, the respondent will take the 2.5 hour online training program. Immediately after completing the training, the respondent will take the post-test knowledge test and will provide feedback about the training including barriers to using the training information and what influential people E:\FR\FM\10JYN1.SGM 10JYN1

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;

Proposed Project

    Information Collection on Soil-transmitted Helminth Infections in 
Alabama and Mississippi--New--Center for Global Health (CGH), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are intestinal worms transmitted 
through contaminated soil. They include roundworms (Ascaris 
lumbricoides), whipworms (Trichuris trichiura), hookworms (Ancylostoma 
duodenale and Necator americanus) and the worm Strongyloides 
stercoralis. These infections were widespread across the American South 
through the early 20th century, yet despite the historically high 
burden of STH infections in these endemic areas of the United States, 
few resources have been devoted to surveillance, prevention, and 
treatment of STH infections in recent years and they are missed by 
routine information collection systems. As a result, the current 
prevalence of STH infections in previously endemic areas is unknown, 
but socioeconomic and environmental conditions favorable to ongoing 
transmission persist in areas of the south, including Alabama and 
Mississippi. Collecting this data, along with biological specimens to 
document infection, is critical to determine the prevalence of STH 
infections, their distribution, and risk factors associated with 
infection. This data will be used to inform the development and 
implementation of effective and sustainable prevention and control 
measures in affected areas.
    The core data elements were developed with input from community 
advocates, and local, state, and federal public health and 
environmental health partners in both Alabama and Mississippi. The 
questionnaires have been designed for self-completion by respondents. 
The data that are collected will be pooled and analyzed by university 
partners and CDC, to generate hypotheses about potential risk factors 
for infection.
    CDC requests OMB approval to collect critical information, not 
available otherwise, on the prevalence and distribution of disease and 
on risk factors, knowledge, attitudes and/or practices related to STH 
infections among residents in at-risk areas in Alabama and Mississippi. 
This information is critical for planning and implementation of disease 
prevention and control strategies targeting STH infections in the 
southeastern United States.
    This data collection is not expected to entail substantial burden 
for respondents. The estimated total annualized burden associated with 
this data collection is 220 hours (approximately 958 individuals 
interviewed x 10 minutes/response). There will be no costs to 
respondents other than their time.
