comparability of data; and standardized
means to collect information and
statistics.
Nominees will be selected based on
expertise in fields associated with
statistical, demographic, and
epidemiological research, such as
biostatistics/biometry, survey
methodology and polling, sociology,
reproductive health, minority health,
nutrition, social and behavioral health
sciences, and population-based public
and environmental health; public health
practice, e.g., state and local health data
systems; operations research, health
policy, and health services research,
including health economics and
econometrics; provision of health
services, e.g., medicine, nursing,
rehabilitation, other allied health care,
and preventive medicine; health quality
measurement and health indicators;
health promotion; medical informatics;
and data and health information
security, storage, confidentiality, and
dissemination.
The Board makes recommendations
about opportunities for NCHS programs
to examine and employ new approaches
to monitoring and evaluating key public
health, health policy, and public policy
changes. This includes automation, data
modernization, and technological
improvements to enhance data
collection, analysis, access, and
reporting capabilities of the Center.
Members of the BSC, NCHS are
responsible for surveying the state-ofthe-art of their respective disciplines,
and reporting, as appropriate, to the full
Board and recommending convening of
workshops or symposia to educate or
update all Board members.
The selection of members is based on
candidates’ qualifications to contribute
to accomplishing BSC, NCHS objectives
(https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/
bsc.htm). Members may be invited to
serve for up to four-year terms.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) policy stipulates that
committee membership be balanced in
terms of points of view represented and
the committee’s function. Appointments
shall be made without discrimination
on the basis of age, race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity, HIV status, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic
status. Nominees must be U.S. citizens
and cannot be full-time employees of
the U.S. Government. Current
participation on federal workgroups or
prior experience serving on a federal
advisory committee does not disqualify
a candidate; however, HHS policy is to
avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple
committee memberships. Board

members are Special Government
Employees, requiring the filing of
financial disclosure reports at the
beginning of and annually during their
terms. The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) reviews potential
candidates for BSC, NCHS membership
each year and provides a slate of
nominees for consideration to the
Secretary of HHS for final selection.
HHS notifies selected candidates of
their appointment near the start of the
term in June, or as soon as the HHS
selection process is completed. Note
that the need for different expertise
varies from year to year and a candidate
who is not selected in one year may be
reconsidered in a subsequent year.
Candidates should submit the following
items:
D Cover letter that includes a
statement of interest for serving on the
Board and the names of two
professional references. Candidates may
submit references from current HHS
employees if they wish, but at least one
reference must be submitted by a person
not employed by an HHS agency (e.g.,
CDC, Health Resources and Services
Administration, National Institutes of
Health, Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality).
D Current resume/curriculum vitae,
including complete contact information
(telephone numbers, work and home
postal mailing addresses, email address)
in Microsoft Word or PDF format.
D Short biographical sketch, including
the top 3–5 areas of expertise.
Nominations may be submitted by the
candidate or by the person/organization
recommending the candidate.
The Director, Office of Strategic
Business Initiatives, Centers for Disease

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,
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
exposures at oil and gas well sites.
There has been no significant fatigue
research in the United States onshore
upstream OGE sector. This proposed
project will characterize relationships
between sleep, alertness, fatigue, fatigue
management, and related factors, within
the onshore OGE industry. Primary data
will be collected using three
approaches. First, researchers will
collect direct measurements of sleep
and alertness among OGE workers.
Second, researchers will use
questionnaires to collect information on
OGE worker demographics, occupation,
general heath, normal working hours,
commute times, physical sleeping
environment, and typical sleep quality.
Third, researchers will collect
qualitative information through
interviews with workers, front-line
supervisors, health and safety leaders,
as well as subject matter experts, to
understand challenges and
opportunities related to fatigue
management in OGE.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 404 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate.
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.
