Background and Brief Description This purpose of this information collection request is to allow the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), to conduct formative research information collection activities used to inform many aspects of surveillance, communications, health promotion, and research project development for NCHHSTP’s four priority diseases (HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases/infections (STD/ STI), viral hepatitis, tuberculosis elimination) and the Division of School and Adolescent Heath (DASH). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and NCHHSTP request approval for an Extension and a three-year approval for the previously approved Generic Clearance, ‘‘Formative Research and Tool Development.’’ Formative research is the basis for developing effective strategies including communication channels for influencing behavior change. It helps researchers identify and understand the characteristics, interests, behaviors, and needs of target populations that influence their decisions and actions. Formative research is integral in developing programs, as well as improving existing and ongoing programs. Formative research also looks at the community in which a public health intervention is being, or will be, implemented and helps the project staff understand the interests, attributes, and needs of different populations and persons in that community. Formative research can occur before a program is designed and implemented, or while a program is being conducted. NCHHSTP formative research is necessary for developing new programs or adapting programs that deal with the complexity of behaviors, social context, cultural identities, and health care that underlie the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB in the U.S, as well as for school and adolescent health. CDC conducts formative research to develop public-sensitive communication messages and userfriendly tools prior to developing or recommending interventions, or care. Sometimes these studies are entirely behavioral but most often they are cycles of interviews and focus groups designed to inform the development of a product. Products from these formative research studies will be used for prevention of HIV/AIDS, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI), viral Hepatitis, and Tuberculosis. Findings from these studies may also be presented as evidence to diseasespecific National Advisory Committees, to support revisions to recommended prevention and intervention methods, as well as new recommendations. Much of CDC’s health communication takes place within campaigns that have lengthy planning periods, or timeframes that accommodate the standard Federal process for approving data collections. Short term qualitative interviewing and cognitive research techniques have previously proven invaluable in the development of scientifically valid and population-appropriate methods, interventions, and instruments. This request includes studies investigating the utility and acceptability of proposed sampling and recruitment methods, intervention content and delivery, questionnaire domains, individual questions, and interactions with project staff or electronic data collection equipment. These activities will provide information about how respondents answer questions and ways in which question response bias and error can be reduced. This request also includes collection of information from public health programs to assess needs related to initiation of a new program activity or expansion or changes in scope, or implementation of existing program activities to adapt them to current needs. The information collected will be used to advise programs and provide capacity-building assistance tailored to identified needs. Overall, these development activities are intended to provide information that will increase the success of the surveillance or research projects through increasing response rates and decreasing response error, thereby decreasing future data collection burden to the public. The studies that will be covered under this request will include one or more of the following investigational modalities: (1) Structured and qualitative interviewing for surveillance, research, interventions, and material development, (2) cognitive interviewing for development of specific data collection instruments, (3) methodological research, (4) usability testing of technology-based instruments and materials, (5) field testing of new methodologies and materials, (6) investigation of mental models for health decision-making to inform health communication messages, and (7) organizational needs assessments to support development of capacity. Respondents who will participate in individual and group interviews (qualitative, cognitive, and computer assisted development activities) are selected purposively from those who respond to recruitment advertisements. In addition to utilizing advertisements for recruitment, respondents who will participate in research on survey methods may be selected purposively or systematically from within an ongoing surveillance or research project.

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.

Proposed Project Nurse Fatigue-Mitigation Education: Does it Change Nurse Sleep Behavior?— New—National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Many nurses in the United States work in around-the-clock healthcare facilities, providing necessary care to patients and the public. Providing these services requires nurses to work nonstandard hours, including shift work (e.g., early mornings, over-nights, rotating between days and nights) and long work hours. These work organizational characteristics are primary factors contributing to sleeprelated fatigue, and decreased health and well-being for nurses. Studies have found 36% of healthcare workers (including nurses) report sleeping less than the recommended 7–9 hours of sleep/24 hours, with prevalence rates climbing to a little over 50% for those working night shifts. This is concerning, as insufficient sleep not only increases the risk for a patient care error to occur but can also jeopardize the health of nurses. In 2015, the National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) published an online resource to address the risks associated with shift work and other nonstandard work hours, titled ‘‘Training for Nurses on Shift Work and Long Work Hours.’’ This no-cost training is designed to educate nurses, nurse managers and other interested healthcare workers on the health and safety risks associated with nonstandard work hours. In addition to sleep and fatigue-related background information, the training provides strategies for improving nurse sleep and reducing fatigue-related risks when E:\FR\FM\14MYN1.SGM 14MYN1
