Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review, 33680-33681 [2020-11793]

Download as PDF 33680 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 106 / Tuesday, June 2, 2020 / Notices on-site evaluation is estimated to be 25 per site. NIOSH distributes interim and final reports of health hazard evaluations, excluding personal identifiers, to: Requesters, employers, employee representatives; the Department of Labor (Occupational Safety and Health Administration or Mine Safety and Health Administration, as appropriate); state health departments; and, as needed, other state and federal agencies. NIOSH administers a follow-back program to assess the effectiveness of its HHE program in reducing workplace hazards. This program entails the mailing of follow-back questionnaires to employer and employee representatives at all the workplaces where NIOSH conducted an on-site evaluation. In a small number of instances, a followback on-site evaluation may be completed. The first follow-back questionnaire is sent shortly after the first visit for an on-site evaluation and takes about 10 minutes to complete. A second follow-back questionnaire is sent after the final report is completed and requires about 20 minutes to complete. At 12 months, a third follow-back questionnaire is sent which takes about 15 minutes to complete. For requests where NIOSH does not conduct an onsite evaluation, the requestor receives the first follow-back questionnaire after our response letter is sent and a second one 12 months after our response. The first questionnaire takes about 10 minutes to complete and the second questionnaire takes about 15 minutes to complete. Because of the number of investigations conducted each year; the need to respond quickly to requests for assistance; the diverse and unpredictable nature of these investigations; and its follow-back program to assess evaluation effectiveness, NIOSH requests a consolidated clearance for data collections performed within the domain of its HHE program. The total estimated burden hours is 1715. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
