workers’ compensation claims data to
guide the selection of employee groups
to target for survey participation.
The goals of this study are (1) To
better understand work practices and
the work environment where injuries
occur in the aviation industry, (2) To
identify and quantify the characteristics,
attitudes, practices, and observations of
workers to determine potential risk
factors, and (3) To provide a snapshot of
workers’ perceived safety and health
needs and concerns. The results of the
study will be used to develop
denominators for each occupation;
identify statistically significant
correlations between attitudes,
behaviors, company policies, and
accident rates; guide the development of
prioritized evidence-based interventions
and safety solutions for these workers
and potentially other workers with
similar tasks and in similar
environments; and generate hypotheses
for future research on health and safety
topics in the aviation industry.
NIOSH has contracted with the
University of Alaska Anchorage’s
Institute of Social and Economic
Research (ISER) to develop and conduct
the surveys. ISER conducted the
previous survey of Alaska operators and
pilots in 2001 and 2002 and has
extensive experience in survey research
in Alaska. The statewide survey
questionnaire will be administered to
air taxi and commuter airline operators
(including the subset of single-pilot
operators), commercial pilots, ramp/
baggage/cargo/dock agents, customer
service agents, and maintenance
technicians.
The questionnaire for operators
requests the number of employed pilots,
ramp/baggage/cargo/dock agents,
customer service agents, and
maintenance technicians. This second
element in the sample design will allow
for the determination of the number of
employees in each occupational group
needed to complete the survey. The
operator questionnaire requests the
number of employees in the four
occupational groups—pilots, mechanics,
customer service agents, and ramp/
baggage/cargo/dock agents, and their
names and contact information.
The burden table lists the estimated
population size of 306 operators; 820
commercial pilots; 1,400 maintenance
technicians; 1,100 ramp/baggage/cargo/
dock agents; and 1,600 customer service
agents based on data from the Alaska
Department of Labor and Workforce
Development (2016). The total burden
for all surveys, is estimated to be 1,547
hours. CDC is requesting a one-year
approval. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

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
E:\FR\FM\19MRN1.SGM

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.
Proposed Project
Assessment and Monitoring of
Breastfeeding-Related Maternity Care
Practices in Intrapartum Care Facilities
in the United States and Territories
(OMB Control No. 0920–0743, Exp. 10/
31/2021)—Revision—National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
The 2022 and 2024 mPINC survey
methodology will closely match those
previously administered. As an ongoing
national census of hospitals in the
United States and territories that
provide maternity care, it does not
employ sampling methods. CDC uses
the American Hospital Association
(AHA) Annual Survey of Hospitals to
identify potential participating
hospitals. Hospitals invited to
participate in the survey include those
that participated in previous iterations,
those that received an invitation but did
not participate in the previous
iterations, and those that have become
eligible since the most recent mPINC
survey. CDC will screen all hospitals
with one or more registered maternity
beds via a brief phone call to assess
their eligibility, identify the appropriate
point of contact, and obtain business
contact information for the person
identified. The response rates for
previous iterations of the mPINC survey
range from 70%–83%. CDC will provide
direct feedback to participating hospital
in an individualized, hospital-specific
report of their results. CDC will also use
information from the mPINC surveys to
identify, document, and share
information related to changes in
practices over time at the hospital, state,
and national levels. Researchers also use
the data to better understand
relationships between hospital
characteristics, maternity-care practices,
state level factors, and breastfeeding
initiation and continuation rates.
Participation in the survey is voluntary,
and participants submit responses
through a secure Web-based system.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time. CDC requests OMB
approval of 805 annual burden hours for
three years to conduct the 2022 and
2024 surveys.
Background and Brief Description
Substantial evidence demonstrates the
social, economic, and health benefits of
breastfeeding for both the mother and
infant as well as for society in general.
Health professionals recommend at least
12 months of breastfeeding, and Healthy
People 2030 establishes specific
national breastfeeding goals. In addition
to increasing overall rates, a significant
public health priority in the U.S. is to
reduce variation in breastfeeding rates
across population subgroups. Although
CDC surveillance data indicate that
breastfeeding initiation rates in the
United States are climbing, rates for
duration and exclusivity continue to lag,
and significant disparities persist
between Black/African American and
White women in breastfeeding rates.
The health care system is one of the
most important and effective settings to
improve breastfeeding, and the birth
hospital stay has a crucial influence on
later breastfeeding outcomes. Every two
years between 2007–2015, CDC
conducted the national survey of
Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition
and Care (mPINC survey) in hospitals
and free-standing birth centers to better
understand national breastfeedingsupportive maternity practices and
changes in these practices over time.
Breastfeeding supportive maternity care
practices have changed rapidly in the
past few years, and in 2018 CDC
redesigned the survey items to reflect
these practice changes. In 2018 and
2020, the revised survey was
administered to hospitals that routinely
provide maternity care. The survey asks
hospital maternity staff to report
information about patient education and
support for breastfeeding provided to
their patients throughout the maternity
stay, as well as staff training and
maternity care policies.

The U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services policy stipulates that
committee membership be balanced in
terms of points of view represented, and
the committee’s function. Appointments
shall be made without discrimination
on the basis of age, race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity, HIV status, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic
status. Nominees must be U.S. citizens,
and cannot be full-time employees of
the U.S. Government. Current
participation on federal workgroups or
prior experience serving on a federal
advisory committee does not disqualify
a candidate; however, HHS policy is to
avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple
committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government
Employees (SGEs), requiring the filing
of financial disclosure reports at the
beginning and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates
for HICPAC membership each year and
provides a slate of nominees for
consideration to the Secretary of HHS
for final selection. HHS notifies selected
candidates of their appointment near
the start of the term in July 2022, or as
soon as the HHS selection process is
completed. Please note that the need for
different expertise varies from year to
year and a candidate who is not selected
in one year may be reconsidered in a
subsequent year. Candidates should
submit the following items:
■ Current curriculum vitae,
including complete contact information
(telephone numbers, mailing address,
email address); and
■ At least one letter of
recommendation from person(s) not
employed by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services.
(Candidates may submit letter(s) from
current HHS employees if they wish,
but at least one letter must be submitted
by a person not employed by an HHS
agency (e.g., CDC, NIH, FDA, etc.).
Nominations may be submitted by the
candidate him- or herself, or by the
person/organization recommending the
candidate.
