Proposed Project Research Data Center Proposal for Access to Confidential Data for the National Center for Health Statistics— Existing Collection in use without an OMB Control Number—National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Section 306(b)(4) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k(b)(4)), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, receive requests for providing data and statistics to the public. NCHS receives requests for confidential data from the public through the Research Data Center Proposal for Access to Confidential Data. This is a request for approval from OMB to collect information via the Researcher Data Center proposal. As part of a comprehensive data dissemination program, the Research Data Center (RDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), requires prospective researchers who need access to confidential data to complete a research proposal. Researchers self-select whether they need access to confidential data to answer their research questions. The RDC requires the researcher to complete a research proposal so NCHS understands the research proposed, whether confidential data are available to address the research questions, how the confidential data will be used, and what data outputs the researcher needs to satisfy their project. The completed proposal is sent to NCHS for adjudication on whether the proposed research is possible. NCHS estimates receipt of an average of 110 proposals per year. All information collection is conducted electronically. OMB approval is requested for three years. The estimated burden per response is three hours and there are no costs to respondents other than their time to complete the proposal. The total estimated annualized burden is 330 hours.

Proposed Project Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program (FFFIPP) Survey— New—National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The FFFIPP conducts independent investigations of fire fighter (FF) line-ofduty deaths and recommends ways to prevent deaths and injuries. In 2003, an evaluation was conducted to determine This data collection will assess FD implementation of the NIOSH FFFIPP recommendations and identify barriers to implementation of recommendations. Results will provide an understanding of current FD operational procedures, insight into motor vehicle-related activities and related policies and identify whether FFFIPP recommendations are being utilized by FDs. Findings will inform strategies for communication of future recommendations and identify areas for potential intervention projects in order to improve the delivery of services and help ensure an effective and efficient stakeholder experience with the FFFIPP. The estimate for burden hours is based on a pilot test of the survey instrument by eight FD personnel. In the pilot test, the average time to complete the survey including time for reviewing instructions, gathering needed information, and completing the survey was 10–25 minutes. For the purposes of estimating burden hours, the upper limit of this range is used. There are screening questions at the beginning of the survey so all respondents may not actually participate. The respondent universe is based on: (1) 4,500 FDs, (2) eight strata (region, department type), and (3) position (FF, chief, company officer). An estimated 13,500 respondents are anticipated to participate in the survey. The annual respondent burden is estimated to be 4,050 hours. the extent to which recommendations from NIOSH investigations of FF fatalities are being implemented by fire departments (FDs). Since then, there have been changes to the FFFIPP recommendations and methods of disseminating FFFIPP reports. For example, there have been changes to: (1) The details and types of recommendations for preventing FF fatalities, and (2) the method to disseminate the FFFIPP reports to FDs (driven in large part by cost). Dissemination methods have evolved from hardcopy mailings to FDs to internet-based, with notifications of new FFFIPP reports by the fire service media and if FDs sign-up at the NIOSH website for notifications of new reports. Understanding how or if NIOSH recommendations are used by various types of FDs will allow a better understanding of barriers to the use of proven prevention recommendations and help identify approaches to improve the delivery of services to FDs. Additionally, we will gain insight into whether changes to the communication and dissemination have impacted the reach of these recommendations. Knowing if different types of FDs are aware of and willing to access FFFIPP reports and recommendations in nonprint formats is critical, as these recommendations cannot have the intended impact of saving FF lives if large numbers of FDs do not know where to find NIOSH reports or have the resources to access them.

Proposed Project

    Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program (FFFIPP) 
Survey--New--National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health 
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The FFFIPP conducts independent investigations of fire fighter (FF) 
line-of-duty deaths and recommends ways to prevent deaths and injuries. 
In 2003, an evaluation was conducted to determine the extent to which 
recommendations from NIOSH investigations of FF fatalities are being 
implemented by fire departments (FDs). Since then, there have been 
changes to the FFFIPP recommendations and methods of disseminating 
FFFIPP reports. For example, there have been changes to: (1) The 
details and types of recommendations for preventing FF fatalities, and 
(2) the method to disseminate the FFFIPP reports to FDs (driven in 
large part by cost). Dissemination methods have evolved from hardcopy 
mailings to FDs to internet-based, with notifications of new FFFIPP 
reports by the fire service media and if FDs sign-up at the NIOSH 
website for notifications of new reports.
    Understanding how or if NIOSH recommendations are used by various 
types of FDs will allow a better understanding of barriers to the use 
of proven prevention recommendations and help identify approaches to 
improve the delivery of services to FDs. Additionally, we will gain 
insight into whether changes to the communication and dissemination 
have impacted the reach of these recommendations. Knowing if different 
types of FDs are aware of and willing to access FFFIPP reports and 
recommendations in non-print formats is critical, as these 
recommendations cannot have the intended impact of saving FF lives if 
large numbers of FDs do not know where to find NIOSH reports or have 
the resources to access them.
    This data collection will assess FD implementation of the NIOSH 
FFFIPP recommendations and identify barriers to implementation of 
recommendations. Results will provide an understanding of current FD 
operational procedures, insight into motor vehicle-related activities 
and related policies and identify whether FFFIPP recommendations are 
being utilized by FDs. Findings will inform strategies for 
communication of future recommendations and identify areas for 
potential intervention projects in order to improve the delivery of 
services and help ensure an effective and efficient stakeholder 
experience with the FFFIPP.
    The estimate for burden hours is based on a pilot test of the 
survey instrument by eight FD personnel. In the pilot test, the average 
time to complete the survey including time for reviewing instructions, 
gathering needed information, and completing the survey was 10-25 
minutes. For the purposes of estimating burden hours, the upper limit 
of this range is used. There are screening questions at the beginning 
of the survey so all respondents may not actually participate.
    The respondent universe is based on: (1) 4,500 FDs, (2) eight 
strata (region, department type), and (3) position (FF, chief, company 
officer). An estimated 13,500 respondents are anticipated to 
participate in the survey. The annual respondent burden is estimated to 
be 4,050 hours.
