ACTION: Notice with comment period.
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 an
Extension of a previously approved
information collection project titled
Assessment of Occupational Injury
among Fire Fighters Using a Followback Survey. The purpose of this project
is to collect follow-back telephone
interview data from injured and
exposed firefighters treated in
emergency departments (EDs) and
produce a descriptive summary of these
injuries and exposures.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before September 17,
2021.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2021–
0063 by any of the following methods:

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;
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Assessment of Occupational Injury
among Fire Fighters Using a Followback Survey (OMB Control No. 0920–
1244)—Extension—National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Studies have reported that firefighters
have high rates of non-fatal injuries and
illnesses as compared to the general
worker population. As firefighters
perform critical public safety activities
and protect the safety and health of the
public, it follows that understanding
and preventing injuries and exposures
among firefighters will have a benefit
reaching beyond the workers to the
public.
As mandated in the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L.
91–596), the mission of NIOSH is to
conduct research and investigations on
occupational safety and health. Related
to this mission, the purpose of this
project is to conduct research that will
provide a detailed description of nonfatal occupational injuries and
exposures incurred by firefighters. This
information will offer detailed insight
into events that lead to the largest
number of nonfatal injuries and
exposures among firefighters. The
project will use two related data
sources. The first source is data
abstracted from medical records of
firefighters treated in a nationally
stratified sample of emergency

departments. These data are routinely
collected through the occupational
supplement to the National Electronic
Injury Surveillance System (NEISSWork). The second data source, for
which NIOSH is seeking OMB approval,
is responses to telephone interview
surveys of the injured and exposed
firefighters identified within NEISSWork.
The proposed one-year extension of
the telephone interview surveys will
supplement NEISS-Work data with a
description of firefighter injuries and
exposures, including worker
characteristics, injury types, injury
circumstances, injury outcomes, and use
of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Previous reports describing
occupational injuries and exposures to
firefighters provide limited details on
The NIOSH Division of Safety
Research (DSR) is conducting this
project. DSR has a strong interest in
improving surveillance of firefighter
injuries and exposures, to provide the
information necessary for effectively
targeting and implementing prevention
efforts, and consequently reducing
occupational injuries and exposures to
firefighters. The Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC) will also
contribute to this project, as they are
responsible for coordinating the
collection of all NEISS-Work data, and
for overseeing the collection of all
telephone interview data.

specific regions or sub-segments of the
population. As compared to these
earlier studies, the scope of the
telephone interview data will be
broader, as it includes sampled cases
nationwide, and has no limitations
regarding type of employment (i.e.,
volunteer versus career). Results from
telephone interviews will be analyzed
and reported as a case series.
The sample size for the telephone
interview survey is estimated to be
approximately 35 firefighters annually.
This is based on the current survey
completion rate of about 11%. While
this completion rate is lower than
originally expected, the project team
still expects to gain additional insight to
injuries and exposures that firefighters
incur.
