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 a
proposed information collection project

all waterborne and foodborne disease
outbreaks and enteric disease outbreaks
transmitted by contact with
environmental sources, infected persons

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
National Outbreak Reporting System
(NORS) (OMB Control No. 0920–1304,
Exp. 9/30/2023)—Revision—National
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Outbreak Reporting
System (NORS) is a web-based platform
that is used by local, state, and
territorial health departments in the
United States to report all waterborne
and foodborne disease outbreaks and
enteric disease outbreaks transmitted by
contact with environmental sources,
infected persons or animals, or
unknown modes of transmission to the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). CDC analyzes
outbreak data to determine trends and
develop and refine recommendations for
prevention and control of foodborne,
waterborne, and enteric disease
outbreaks.
This Revision request is being
submitted to improve clarity and
readability, combining two separate but
related outbreak reporting forms (52.12
and 52.13) into a single outbreak
reporting form (Form 52.14).
Overlapping sections have been
combined, and existing questions
reorganized for clarity. Some additional
questions have been added to the form
to address current gaps in national
outbreak surveillance.
CDC requests approval for 1,160
annual burden hours. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.

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

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

collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who

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
Sfmt 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
