AGENCY:
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on a
proposed information collection project
titled Pilot Project: Work Organization
Risks to Short-haul Truck Drivers’
Health & Safety. This study is designed
to assess how local/short haul drivers
perceive their work environments, and
how that relates to their well-being.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(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;
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.

Background and Brief Description
Commercial truck drivers face widely
acknowledged safety risks on the job
and are at an increased risk for heart
disease, diabetes, hypertension, and
obesity. Long and irregular work hours,
lack of breaks, inadequate sleep, and
little access to exercise facilities and
healthy eating options contribute to
drivers’ health and safety problems.
Additionally, health complications of
obesity (e.g., sleep apnea, type II
diabetes) place truckers at even greater
risk of roadway crashes. Much of what
we know about work and health is
based on knowledge gleaned from
research on long-haul commercial
drivers. Local short haul drivers are
those who generally return home each
night after work, and who travel no
more than 150 miles from the
employer’s terminal each day (whereas
long-haul drivers are away from home
for long periods of time and drive much
greater distances daily). This research
addresses a gap in knowledge and
responds to stakeholders’ requests for
research that examines work
organization in local short-haul
commercial driving. The purpose of this
data collection is to learn more about
the local short-haul trucking industry
and how the complex interplay between
job design and individual health
behaviors affects the safety, health, and
well-being of commercial drivers.
NIOSH is requesting a 12-month OMB
approval.
A survey will be used to collect crosssectional data from 300 local short-haul
commercial drivers. Drivers will answer
questions about work design,
organizational policies, occupational
stressors, physical health, safety, and
mental well-being. The data collected
will be used to characterize work
organization in local short-haul
commercial driving, and analyzed to
examine the association between work
design and driver physical health,
mental health, well-being, and safety.
Stakeholders in trucking associations
have agreed to promote participation in
the study amongst their member
organizations. A sample of 300 drivers
will be recruited from across several
commercial driving companies over a
six-month time period. This is a crosssectional survey. Drivers will complete
the survey only one time. It is estimated
that the survey will take about 30
minutes to complete. All responses are
anonymous, and no personally
identifiable information will be
collected. There are no costs to

In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Qualitative
Information Collection on Emerging
Diseases among the Foreign-born in the
US to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
CDC previously published a ‘‘Proposed

Comment and Recommendations’’
notice on August 8, 2019 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC received two nonsubstantive comments related to the

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

Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global
Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ),
requests approval for an extension of the
current generic information collection;
Qualitative Information Collection on
Emerging Diseases among the Foreignborn in the US.
This qualitative data collection is
needed by DGMQ because foreign-born

individuals are considered hard-toreach populations and are often missed
by routine information collection
systems in the United States. As a
consequence, limited information is
available about the health status,
knowledge, attitudes, health beliefs, and
practices related to communicable
diseases and other emerging health
issues (e.g., tuberculosis, parasitic
diseases, lead poisoning, and mental
health issues) among foreign-born
populations in the United States.
Foreign-born populations are very
diverse in terms of countries of origin,
socio-demographic, cultural and
linguistic characteristics and geographic
destinations in the U.S. Data is
especially limited at the local level.
The purpose of the extension is to
continue efforts to improve the agency’s
understanding of the health status, risk
factors for disease, and other health
outcomes among foreign-born
individuals in the United States.
Numerous types of data will be
collected under the auspices of this
generic information collection. These
include, but are not limited to,
knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral
intentions, practices, behaviors, skills,
self-efficacy, and health information
needs and sources.
Under the terms of this generic, CDC
will employ focus groups and key
informant interviews to collect
information. Depending on the specific
purpose, the information collection may
be conducted either in-person, by
telephone, on paper, or online. For each
generic information collection, CDC will
submit to OMB the project summary
and information collection tools. CDC
requests a total of 550 respondents and
450 burden hours annually. The
respondents to these information
collections are foreign-born individuals
in the United States. There is no cost to
respondents other than the time
required to provide the information
requested.
