needed to identify areas in need of
expanded support to deliver these

that comprehensively collects this
information.
The participation of respondents is
voluntary. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.
Through their participation,
respondents will help to improve

In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled ‘‘Assessment of
Ill Worker Policies Study’’ 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
September 14, 2020, to obtain comments
from the public and affected agencies.
CDC received one comment 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.
Comments and recommendations for the
proposed information collection should
be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/

(NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and

public health practice. This research
program is conducted by the
Environmental Health Specialists
Network (EHS-Net), a collaborative
project of the CDC, U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA), and eight state
and local public health programs
(Franklin County, OH; Tennessee;
Minnesota; Rhode Island; New York;
New York City, NY; Southern Nevada
Health District, NV; and Harris County,
TX).
This ICR aims to assess whether an
educational intervention will result in
either the development or enhancement
of restaurant ill worker policies. This
will be accomplished by interviewing
restaurant managers and observing
restaurant practices in 320 randomly
selected and assigned restaurants in the
EHS-Net catchment areas. There will be
two or three site visits depending upon
which group the restaurants are
assigned to, that is, the intervention or
the control group. An initial visit will be
used to observe baseline conditions and
to provide the intervention only to the
restaurants selected to receive it. A
second visit will be used to determine
if the policies have changed and to
introduce the intervention to the control
restaurants (if it is deemed successful),
and a final follow up visit to the control
restaurants that received the
intervention on the second visit (if they
receive the intervention). Initial success
for the intervention will be measured by
whether three or more intervention
restaurants in each EHS-Net catchment
area either develop a written ill worker
management plan (if they did not have
one at the pre-intervention evaluation)
or enhanced their policies (e.g., added
provisions addressing reasons why ill
workers reported working while ill).
Although approved in 2018, NCEH
and its program partners needed to
prioritize other data collections over
this study, and then delayed the current
study due to the COVID–19 pandemic.

NCEH partners provided feedback to
refine this research protocol, to revise
the ICR, and to begin this study in 2021.
NCEH is requesting approval for
revisions which fall into three
categories: (1) Changes to strengthen the
study, based on recent experience and
stakeholder feedback; (2) changes to
respond to the COVID–19 pandemic,
and (3) a change in one participating
site.
NCEH is requesting a revised PRA
clearance for 820 responses per year and
for a time burden of 261 hours per year.
These changes result in a decrease of
1,307 responses and 91 hours per year
relative to the 2018 PRA clearance.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.
