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
Occupational Injury among Fire Fighters
Using a Follow-back Survey 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 July 19, 2021 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC did not receive comments
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/

information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open

comments and/or suggestions regarding
the items contained in this notice to the
Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of

Proposed Project
Assessment of Occupational Injury
among Fire Fighters Using a Followback Survey (OMB Control No. 0920–
1244, Exp. 10/31/2021)—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
undertake many critical public safety
activities and are tasked with protecting
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
general 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
PO 00000
Frm 00074
Fmt 4703

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 an extension of
OMB approval for one additional year,
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 for
firefighters who opt to participate.
Previous reports describing
occupational injuries and exposures to
firefighters provide limited details on
specific regions or sub-segments of the
population. As compared to these
earlier studies, the scope of the
telephone interview data is broader, as
it includes sampled cases nationwide
and has no limitations regarding type of
employment (i.e., volunteer versus
career). Results from the telephone
interviews will be analyzed and
reported as a case series.
The sample size for the telephone
interview survey is estimated to be 35
firefighters annually for the proposed
one-year extension. This is based on the
current survey completion rate of 10 to
11%. While this completion rate is
lower than originally expected, the
project team still expects to gain
valuable insight into injuries and
exposures that firefighters incur. Each

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 13, 2021 / Notices
telephone interview will take
approximately 30 minutes to complete,
resulting in an annualized burden
estimate of 18 hours. Using the routine
NEISS-Work data, an analysis of
firefighters will be performed to
determine if any differences can be
identified between the telephone
interview responder and non-responder
groups.
The Division of Safety Research (DSR)
within NIOSH 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) continues to
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.
CDC requests approval for an
estimated 18 annual burden hours with
this Extension. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
