Proposed Project
Youth Outreach Generic Clearance for
the National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS) (OMB Control No. 0920–1185,
Exp. 07/31/2023)—Extension—National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) is authorized to
collect data under Section 306 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
242k). NCHS has a history of reaching
out to young people to encourage their
interest in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math (STEM).
Examples of past involvement include
adopting local schools, speaking at local
colleges, conducting a Statistics Day for
high school students, and, most
recently, conducting the NCHS Data
Detectives Camp for middle school
students.
The success of these programs has
inspired NCHS leadership and staff to
want to look for new and continuing
opportunities to positively impact the
lives of young people and expand their
interest, understanding of, and
involvement in the sciences. NCHS
requests approval for a New Generic
Clearance mechanism to collect
information for these youth outreach
activities and to inform future NCHS
planning activities.
As stated, these activities include
hosting the Data Detectives Camp
annually; hosting Statistics Day
annually; creating youth poster sessions
for professional conferences (such as the
NCHS National Conference on Health
Statistics or the American Statistical
Association Conference etc.); hosting a
statistical or health sciences fair or other
STEM-related competitions; organizing
a STEM Career Day or similar activity;
developing web-based sites or materials
with youth focus, as well as other
programs developed to meet future
youth outreach needs, particularly
activities that encourage STEM.
Information will be collected using a
combination of methodologies
appropriate to each program. These may
include: registration forms, letters of
recommendation, evaluation forms, mail
surveys, focus groups, automated and
electronic technology (e.g. email, Webbased surveys), and telephone surveys.
OMB approval is requested for three
years to conduct the Youth Outreach
Generic Clearance for the National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 1,750 annual burden hours.
Participation is voluntary and there are
no costs to respondents other than their
time.

Proposed Project
Energy Employees Occupational
Illness Compensation Program Act of
2000 (EEOICPA) Special Exposure
Cohort Petitions. (OMB Control No.
0920–0639, Exp. 01/31/2023)—
Extension—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
On October 30, 2000, the Energy
Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act of 2000
(EEOICPA), 42 U.S.C. 7384–7385 [1994,
supp. 2001] was enacted. The Act
established a compensation program to
provide a lump sum payment of
$150,000 and medical benefits as
compensation to covered employees
suffering from designated illnesses
incurred as a result of their exposure to
radiation, beryllium, or silica while in
the performance of duty for the
Department of Energy and certain of its
vendors, contractors and subcontractors.
This legislation also provided for
payment of compensation for certain
survivors of these covered employees.
This program has been mandated to be
in effect until Congress ends the
funding.
Among other duties, the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS)
was directed to establish and implement
procedures for considering petitions by
classes of nuclear weapons workers to
be added to the ‘‘Special Exposure
Cohort’’ (the ‘‘Cohort’’). In brief,
EEOICPA authorizes HHS to designate
such classes of employees for addition
to the Cohort when NIOSH lacks
sufficient information to estimate with
sufficient accuracy the radiation doses
of the employees, and if HHS also finds
that the health of members of the class
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

may have been endangered by the
radiation dose the class potentially
incurred. HHS must also obtain the
advice of the Advisory Board on
Radiation and Worker Health (the
‘‘Board’’) in establishing such findings.
On May 28, 2004, HHS issued a rule
that established procedures for adding
such classes to the Cohort (42 CFR part
83). The rule was amended on July 10,
2007.
The HHS rule authorizes a variety of
respondents to submit petitions.
Petitioners are required to provide the
information specified in the rule to
qualify their petitions for a complete
evaluation by HHS and the Board. HHS
has developed two forms to assist the
petitioners in providing this required
information efficiently and completely.
Form A is a one-page form to be used
by EEOICPA claimants for whom
NIOSH has attempted to conduct dose
reconstructions and has determined that
available information is not sufficient to
complete the dose reconstruction. Form
B, accompanied by separate
instructions, is intended for all other
petitioners. Forms A and B can be
submitted electronically as well as in
hard copy. Respondent/petitioners
should be aware that HHS is not
requiring respondents to use the forms.
Respondents can choose to submit
petitions as letters or in other formats,
but petitions must meet the
informational requirements stated in the
rule. NIOSH expects, however, that all
petitioners for whom Form A would be
appropriate will actually use the form,
since NIOSH will provide it to them
upon determining that their dose
reconstruction cannot be completed and
encourage them to submit the petition.
NIOSH expects the large majority of
petitioners for whom Form B would be
appropriate will also use the form, since
it provides a simple, organized format
for addressing the informational
requirements of a petition.
NIOSH will use the information
obtained through the petition for the
following purposes: (a) identify the
petitioner(s), obtain their contact
information, and establish that the
petitioner(s) is qualified and intends to
petition HHS; (b) establish an initial
definition of the class of employees
being proposed to be considered for
addition to the Cohort; (c) determine
whether there is justification to require
HHS to evaluate whether or not to
designate the proposed class as an
addition to the Cohort (such an
evaluation involves potentially
extensive data collection, analysis, and
related deliberations by NIOSH, the
Board, and HHS); and (d) target an
evaluation by HHS to examine relevant
