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 Stakeholder
Interviews for the Evaluation of the
World Trade Center Health Program for
Impact Assessment and Strategic
Planning for Translational Research, 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 8, 2019 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. The WTCHP is administered
by the CDC/National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH). 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
send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions

Proposed Project
Stakeholder Interviews for the
Evaluation of the World Trade Center
Health Program for Impact Assessment
and Strategic Planning for Translational
Research—New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The World Trade Center Health
Program (WTCHP) was established by
the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and
Compensation Act of 2010, Public Law
111–347 (hereafter referred to as ‘‘the
Zadroga Act’’). Under subtitle C, the
Zadroga Act requires the establishment
of a research program on health
conditions resulting from the 9/11
terrorist attacks. The Research to Care
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

(RTC) model is the strategic framework
employed by the WTCHP to prioritize,
conduct, and assess research that
informs excellence in clinical care for
the population of responders and
survivors affected by the 9/11 attacks in
New York City. It is the focus of this
assessment.
The RTC model assumes the
collective involvement of different
WTCHP stakeholders, including
members, researchers, clinicians, and
program administrators. It accounts for
a variety of inputs that can affect the
progress and impact of WTCHP
research. These inputs include people
and organizations (e.g., program
members, providers, clinical centers of
excellence, extramural researchers, and
program staff), resources (e.g.,
technology, data centers, the NYC 9/11
Health Registry) and regulatory rules,
principally the Zadroga Act. The
program supports activities such as
research prioritization, conduct of
research, delivery of medical care, and
iterative assessments of the translation
of research to improvements in health
care services and chronic disease
management. These activities aim to
produce tangible outputs such as
research findings on WTC-related
conditions, healthcare protocols, peerreviewed publications, quality
assessment reports, and member and
provider education products. Finally,
the model anticipates short-,
intermediate-, and long-term
measurement of outcomes and serves as
a communication tool for program
planning and evaluation.
In 2016, NIOSH contracted with the
RAND Corporation to evaluate the
WTCHP RTC model including the
research investments to date and the
effectiveness with which the Program
translates its research to different
stakeholder groups. This work will
ultimately provide guidance for the
WTCHP on strategic directions, as well
as produce generalizable knowledge
about the translation of research into
improved outcomes for individuals and
populations exposed to disasters such as
the 9/11 attacks. As a part of this
evaluation, we will hold a series of
interviews with representatives of
different stakeholder groups to explore
their perspectives on translational
research in the context of the WTCHP.
These interviews are necessary to gather
information on the translation of
WTCHP-supported research into better
care for members, the impact of this
research, and stakeholders’ views on
future directions for the program.
Interview responses will be
incorporated into RAND’s overall
assessment of the WTCHP program’s

research portfolio and will inform
recommendations for future research
investments and strategic direction. We
will conduct 20 semi-structured, indepth interviews by telephone that will
last approximately one hour each. Three
of the 20 participants are NIOSH
employees and are excluded from the
burden estimate. The burden estimate is
based on the 17 respondents who are
not NIOSH employees.
Specific topics to be addressed in the
interviews will include:
• Stakeholder views on key findings
from a large systematic review of WTCrelated research conducted in a separate
part of this evaluation.
• Adherence of WTCHP-supported
research to key principles of
translational research: Relevance,
transparency, and usefulness of the
research.
• Examples of use of the research.
• Impact of the research on program
outcomes as defined by the Research-toCare logic model.
• Opportunities for future directions
for the WTCHP, which is funded
through 2090.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. Participation is voluntary, and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden is 17 hours.
