Proposed Project
Coal Workers’ Health Surveillance
Program (CWHSP) (OMB Control No.
0920–0020, Exp. 3/31/2022)—
Extension—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is submitting an Information
Collection Request (ICR) to revise the
data collection instruments being
utilized within the Coal Workers’ Health
Surveillance Program (CWHSP). This
request incorporates all components of
the CWHSP. Those components include:
Coal Workers’ X-ray Surveillance
Program (CWXSP), B Reader Program,
Enhanced Coal Workers’ Health
Surveillance Program (ECWHSP),
Expanded Coal Workers’ Health
Surveillance Program, and National
Coal Workers’ Autopsy Study (NCWAS).
The CWHSP is a congressionallymandated medical examination program
for monitoring the health of coal miners
and was originally established under the
Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety
Act of 1969 with all subsequent
amendments (the Act). The Act provides
the regulatory authority for the
administration of the CWHSP. This
Program, which operates in accordance
with 42 CFR part 37, is useful in
providing information for protecting the
health of and also in documenting
trends and patterns in the prevalence of
coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (‘black
lung’ disease) among U.S. coal miners.
HHS proposes to revise the CWHSP
regulations (42 CFR part 37) by
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:50 Feb 03, 2022
Jkt 256001
amending existing regulatory text to
allow compensation for pathologists
who perform autopsies on coal miners
at a market rate, on a discretionary basis
as needed for public health purposes.
These changes to 42 CFR 37 have
necessitated this revision ICR.
The total estimated annualized
burden hours of 11,741 is based on the
following collection instruments:
• Coal Mine Operator Plan (2.10) and
Coal Contractor Plan (2.18)—Under 42
CFR part 37, every coal operator and
coal contractor in the U.S. must submit
a plan approximately every 4 years,
providing information on how they plan
to notify their miners of the opportunity
to obtain the medical examination.
Completion of this form with all
requested information (including a
roster of current employees) takes
approximately 30 minutes.
• Radiographic Facility Certification
Document (2.11)—X-ray facilities
seeking NIOSH approval to provide
miner radiographs under the CWHSP
must complete an approval packet
including this form which requires
approximately 30 minutes for
completion.
• Miner Identification Document
(2.9)—Miners who elect to participate in
the CWHSP must fill out this document
which requires approximately 20
minutes. This document records
demographic and occupational history,
as well as information required under
the regulations in relation to the
examinations.
• Chest Radiograph Classification
Form (2.8)—NIOSH utilizes a
radiographic classification system
developed by the International Labour
Office (ILO) in the determination of
pneumoconiosis among coal miners.
Physicians (B Readers) fill out this form
regarding their interpretations of the
radiographs (each image has at least two
separate interpretations, and
approximately 7% of the images require
additional interpretations). Based on
prior practice it takes the physician
approximately 3 minutes per form.
• Physician Application for
Certification (2.12)—Physicians taking
the B Reader examination are asked to
complete this registration form which
provides demographic information as
well as information regarding their
medical practices. It typically takes the
physician about 10 minutes to complete
this form.
• Spirometry Facility Certification
Document (2.14)—This form is
analogous to the Radiographic Facility
Certification Document (2.11) and
records the spirometry facility
equipment/staffing information.
Spirometry facilities seeking NIOSH
PO 00000
Frm 00076
Fmt 4703

approval to provide miner spirometry
testing under the CWHSP must
complete an approval packet which
includes this form. It is estimated that
it will take approximately 30 minutes
for this form to be completed at the
facility.
• Respiratory Assessment Form
(2.13)—This form is designed to assess
respiratory symptoms and certain
medical conditions and risk factors. It is
estimated that it will take approximately
5 minutes for this form to be
administered to the miner by an
employee at the facility.
• Spirometry Results Notification
Form (2.15)—This form is used to:
Collect information that will allow
NIOSH to identify the miner in order to
provide notification of the spirometry
test results; assure that the test can be
done safely; record certain factors that
can affect test results; provide
documentation that the required
components of the spirometry
examination have been transmitted to
NIOSH for processing; and conduct
quality assurance audits and
interpretation of results. It is estimated
that it will take the facility
approximately 20 minutes to complete
this form.
• Pathologist Invoice—Under the
NCWAS, the invoice submitted by the
pathologist must contain a statement
that the pathologist is not receiving any
other compensation for the autopsy.
Each participating pathologist may use
their individual invoice as long as this
statement is added. It is estimated that
only 5 minutes is required for the
pathologist to add this statement to the
standard invoice that they routinely use.
• Pathologist Report—Under the
NCWAS the pathologist must submit
information found at autopsy, slides,
blocks of tissue, and a final diagnosis
indicating presence or absence of
pneumoconiosis. The format of the
autopsy reports is variable depending
on the pathologist conducting the
autopsy. Since an autopsy report is
routinely completed by a pathologist,
the only additional burden is the
specific request for a clinical abstract of
terminal illness and final diagnosis
relating to pneumoconiosis. Therefore,
only 5 minutes of additional burden is
estimated for the pathologist’s report.
• Consent, Release and History Form
(2.6)—This form documents written
authorization from the next-of-kin to
perform an autopsy on the deceased
miner. A minimum of essential
information is collected regarding the
deceased miner including an
occupational history and a smoking
history. From past experience, it is
E:\FR\FM\04FEN1.SGM
04FEN1
6559
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 24 / Friday, February 4, 2022 / Notices
estimated that 15 minutes is required for
the next-of-kin to complete this form.
• Authorization for Payment of
Autopsy Form (2.19)—Revised 42 CFR
part 37.204 outlines a need for a
physician pathologist to obtain written
authorization from NIOSH and
agreement regarding payment amount
for services specified in § 37.202 (a) by
completing the Authorization for
Payment of Autopsy form and
submitting it to the CWHSP for
authorization prior to completing an
autopsy on a coal miner. This is a new
form. It will be completed by the
pathologist who intends on conducting
an autopsy and the form will collect:
Demographic information on the
deceased miner, characteristics of the
miner’s pneumoconiosis (if known by
the pathologist), demographic and
medical licensure information from the
requesting pathologist, and proposed
payment amount to complete the
autopsy in accordance with § 37.203. It
is estimated that 15 minutes is required
for the pathologist to complete this
form. The total estimated burden hours
is 11,741.
