with the population and focus groups to
interpret standardized quantitative
findings and inform grantee-developed
recommendations for state/local public
health partners. The data from
qualitative interviews will be used to
interpret standardized quantitative
findings and inform recipient-developed
recommendations for state and local
public health authorities. No other
federal agency collects this type of
information in the populations at high
risk in these selected geographic areas
using mixed methods of quantitative
and qualitative interviews.
CDC estimates that during
quantitative interviewing, 1338
individuals will complete the
quantitative base eligibility screener,
1204 will complete the quantitative
population eligibility screener, and 338
will be either not interested or
ineligible, yielding a total of 1000
eligible respondents over a 12-month
period. For qualitative data collection
approximately 96 individuals will
complete the eligibility screener, 16 of
the respondents will be either not
interested in completing a qualitative
interview, or will be ineligible, yielding
a total of 80 eligible respondents over a
12-month period.
The total estimated annualized
burden requested is 497 hours.
Participation of is voluntary, and there
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.

(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

Proposed Project
Developmental Studies to improve the
National Health Care Surveys (OMB
Control No. 0920–1030, Exp. 06/30/
2023—Extension—National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes the Secretary of
Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through the Division of Health
Care Statistics (DHCS) within NCHS,
shall collect statistics on the extent and
nature of illness and disability of the
population of the United States.
The DHCS conducts the National
Health Care Surveys, a family of
nationally representative surveys of
encounters and health care providers in
inpatient, outpatient, ambulatory, and
post-acute and long-term care settings.
This information collection request
(ICR) is for the Extension of a Generic
clearance to conduct developmental
studies to improve this family of
surveys. This three-year clearance
period will include studies to evaluate
and improve upon existing survey
design and operations, as well as to
examine the feasibility of, and address
challenges that may arise with, future
expansions of the National Health Care
Surveys.
Specifically, this request covers
developmental research with the
following aims: (1) to explore ways to
refine and improve upon existing survey
designs and procedures; and (2) to
explore and evaluate proposed survey
designs and alternative approaches to
data collection. The goal of these
research studies is to further enhance
DHCS existing and future data
collection protocols to increase research
capacity and improve health care data
quality for the purpose of monitoring
public health and well-being at the
national, state, and local levels, thereby
informing health policy decisionmaking process. The information
collected through this Generic ICR will
not be used to make generalizable
statements about the population of
interest or to inform public policy;
however, methodological findings may
be reported.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

This Generic ICR would include
studies conducted in person, via the
telephone or web surveys, and by postal
or electronic mail. Methods covered
would include qualitative (e.g., usability
testing, focus groups, ethnographic
studies, and respondent debriefing
questionnaires) and/or quantitative (e.g.,
pilot tests, pre-tests and split sample
experiments) research methodologies.
Examples of studies to improve existing
survey designs and procedures may
include evaluation of incentive
approaches to improve recruitment and
increase participation rates; testing of
new survey items to obtain additional
data on providers, patients, residents,
and their encounters while minimizing
misinterpretation and human error in
data collection; testing data collection in
panel surveys; triangulating and
validating survey responses from
multiple data sources; assessment of the
feasibility of data retrieval; and
development of protocols that will
locate, identify, and collect accurate
survey data in the least labor-intensive
and burdensome manner at the sampled
practice site.
To explore and evaluate proposed
survey designs and alternative
approaches to collecting data, especially
with the nationwide adoption of
electronic health records, studies may
expand the evaluation of data extraction
of electronic health records and
submission via continuity of care
documentation to small/mid-size/large
medical providers and hospital
networks, managed care health plans,
retail health clinics, and other inpatient,
outpatient, ambulatory, and long-term
care settings that are currently either inscope or out-of-scope of the National
Health Care Surveys. Research on
feasibility, data quality and respondent
burden also may be carried out in the
context of developing new surveys of
health care providers and
establishments that are currently out-ofscope of the National Health Care
Surveys.
Specific motivations for conducting
developmental studies include: (1)
Within the National Ambulatory
Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), new
clinical groups may be expanded to
include dentists, psychologists,
podiatrists, chiropractors, optometrists),
mid-level providers, and allied-health
professionals (e.g., certified nursing
aides, medical assistants, radiology
technicians, laboratory technicians,
pharmacists, dieticians/nutritionists).

Sfmt 4703
Current sampling frames such as those
from the American Medical Association
may be obtained and studied, as well as
frames that are not currently in use by
NAMCS, such as state and
organizational listings of other licensed
providers; (2) Within the National Study
of Post-Acute and Long-Term Care
Providers, additional new frames may
be sought, developed, and evaluated
and data items from home care agencies,
long-term care hospitals, and facilities
exclusively serving individuals with
intellectual/developmental disability
may be tested. Similarly, data may be
obtained from lists compiled by states
and other organizations. Data about the
facilities as well as residents and their
visits will be investigated; (3) In the
inpatient and outpatient care settings,
the National Hospital Care Survey
(NHCS) may investigate the addition of
facility and patient information
especially as it relates to insurance and
electronic medical records.
The National Health Care Surveys
collect critical, accurate data that are
used to produce reliable national
estimates—and in recent years, statelevel estimates—of clinical services and
of the providers who delivered those
services in inpatient, outpatient,
ambulatory, and long-term care settings.
The data from these surveys are used by
providers, policy makers and
researchers to address important topics
of interest, including the quality and
disparities of care among populations,
epidemiology of medical conditions,
diffusion of technologies, effects of
policies and practice guidelines, and
changes in health care over time.
Research studies need to be conducted
to improve existing and proposed
survey design and procedures of the
National Health Care Surveys, as well as
to evaluate alternative data collection
approaches particularly due to the
expansion of electronic health record
use, and to develop new sample frames
of currently out-of-scope providers and
settings of care.
Average burdens are designed to
cover 15–40 min interviews as well as
90-minute focus groups, longer on-site
visits, and situations where
organizations may be preparing
electronic data files. CDC requests OMB
approval for an estimated 3,000 annual
burden hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time to
participate.

Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), is requesting approval of a
new Generic information collection for
a period of three years under the project
titled ‘‘Assessing Respirator
Perceptions, Experiences, and
Maintenance.’’

Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The National Personal Protective
Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) is a
division of NIOSH which operates
within the CDC. NPPTL was established
in 2001, at the request of Congress, with
the mission of preventing disease,
injury, and death for the millions of
working men and women relying on
personal protective technology (PPT).
As the nation’s respirator approver for
all workplaces (42 CFR part 84), the
development of NPPTL filled a need for
improved personal protective
equipment (PPE) and focused research
into PPT. To this end, NPPTL conducts
respiratory protection research to
examine exposures to inhalation
hazards, dermal hazards, and any other
hazardous environmental threats within
an occupational setting.
Federal regulations exist regarding the
use of respirators in the workplace. The
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) requires
employers whose hazard management
includes the use of respirators to have
a respiratory protection program (RPP),
which has specified components. Thus,
the information collected from human
subjects about their use of respirators is
generally consistent across NPPTL
studies with only the use conditions
changing (e.g., respirator type or
management implementation practices
related to cleaning/decontamination, fit
testing, and training). NPPTL requests a
Generic information collection package
for information collected from
individual workers and managers
related to the perceptions, maintenance,
and evaluation of respirator use on the
job.
Different types of data collection
including surveys, focus groups,
interviews, and physiological
monitoring will be used to: (1) assess
workers’ health and safety knowledge,
attitudes, skills, and other personal
attributes as they relate to their
respiratory protection use and
maintenance; (2) identify and overcome
barriers that workers face while using
respiratory protection to prevent
