Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork 

Reduction Act Review 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 

has submitted the information 

collection request titled Online Training 

for Law Enforcement to Reduce Risks 

Associated with Shift Work and Long 

Work Hours to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. CDC previously 

published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection 

Submitted for Public Comment and 

Recommendations’’ notice on October 1, 

2020 to obtain comments from the 

public and affected agencies. CDC 

received one comment related to the 

previous notice. This notice serves to 

allow an additional 30 days for public 

and affected agency comments. 

CDC will accept all comments for this 

proposed information collection project. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

that: 

(a) 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; 

(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agencies estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(d) 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 submission of 

responses; and 

(e) Assess information collection 

costs. 

To request additional information on 

the proposed project or to obtain a copy 

of the information collection plan and 

instruments, call (404) 639–7570. 

Comments and recommendations for the 

proposed information collection should 

be sent within 30 days of publication of 

this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/ 

do/PRAMain.

collection by selecting ‘‘Currently under 

30-day Review—Open for Public 

Comments’’ or by using the search

Proposed Project 

Online training for law enforcement 

to reduce risks associated with shift 

work and long work hours— 

Reinstatement without Change— 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Police often work during the evening, 

at night, and sometimes irregular and 

long hours. Shift work and long work 

hours are linked to many health and 

safety risks due to disturbances to sleep 

and circadian rhythms. These work 

schedules also lead to difficulties with 

personal relationships due to having 

less time with family and friends, poor 

mood from sleep deprivation, and 

problems balancing work and personal 

responsibilities. These work schedules 

and inadequate sleep likely contribute 

to health problems seen in police: 

Shorter life spans, high occupational 

injury rates, and burden of chronic 

illnesses. One strategy to reduce these 

risks is training programs to inform 

employers and law enforcement officers 

about the risks and strategies to reduce 

their risks. 

An Reinstatement is being requested 

due to delays recruiting participants and 

initiating data. The delays resulted from 

the COVID–19 pandemic and the civil 

unrest after George Floyd’s death on 

May 25 2020. Law enforcement leaders 

requested that the data collection be 

delayed until the end of June 2020. As 

a result, NIOSH is requesting a one-year 

extension of the data collection end date 

to May 31, 2021. This pilot study is part 

of a project awarded National 

Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) 

funding. The National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health is 

authorized to carry out this data 

collection through Occupational Safety 

and Health Act of 1970. 

The purpose of this project is to 

develop a training program to relay the 

risks linked to shift work and long work 

hours and give workplace strategies for 

employers and personal strategies for 

the officers to reduce the risks. Once 

finalized, the training will be available 

on the NIOSH website. The training will 

be pilot tested with 30 recent graduates 

of a police academy and 30 experienced 

officers. The study will recruit 60 law 

enforcement officers during a 30-minute 

phone call. All respondents will work 

full-time on fixed night shifts. The pilot 

test will use a pre-test–post-test design 

to examine sleep (both duration and 

quality), worktime sleepiness, and 

knowledge retained. Pre-test measures 

will be collected two weeks before the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 9 / Thursday, January 14, 2021 / Notices 3157 

training. Post-test measures will be 

collected the week of the training (week 

three of the study), one week after the 

training (week four) and at eight and 

nine weeks after the training (weeks 11 

and 12 of the study). Additional posttest measures will include feedback 

about the training and if specific 

behaviors changed. 

Before starting the pretest, the 

respondent will sign an informed 

consent form. The pilot pre-test will 

start with the respondent filling out a 10 

minute online survey that includes four 

short surveys: (1) Demographic 

information and work experience; (2) 

the Epworth Sleepiness Scale; (3) the 

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; and (4) 

a knowledge test. The respondent will 

be fitted with a wrist actigraph, which 

will record activity and estimate the 

times of sleep. The respondents will 

keep an online sleep activity diary and 

wear the actigraph continuously during 

weeks one to four of the study. The 

online sleep activity diary takes 

approximately two minutes a day to 

complete. The sleep diary and actigraph 

are being used together to obtain a more 

accurate timing of respondent’s sleep 

and activity. 

During the third week of the study, 

the respondent will take the 2.5 hour 

online training program. Immediately 

after completing the training, the 

respondent will take the post-test 

knowledge test and will provide 

feedback about the training including 

barriers to using the training 

information and what influential people 

in their life would want them to do with 

the training information. At the end of 

week four, the respondent will return 

the actigraph. No data collection will 

occur during weeks five to 10 of the 

study. 

The second post-test period will be 

weeks 11 and 12 of the study to gather 

longer-term outcomes. At the beginning 

of week 11, the respondents will be 

fitted with an actigraph. The respondent 

will wear the actigraph and complete 

the sleep activity diary for the next 14 

days. At the end of week 12 of the 

study, the respondent will complete the 

Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh 

Sleep Quality Index, and Changes in 

Behaviors After Training. The combined 

response time is five minutes. 

The burden table lists three 10-minute 

meetings during the post-test period 

when they will return the actigraph at 

the end of week four, be fitted with an 

actigraph at the beginning of week 11 

and return it at the end of week 12. The 

respondents will complete the sleep 

activity diary for 42 days total (two 

minutes each day). The total burden 

hours for the diary is 84. 

Study staff will use the findings from 

the pilot test to make improvements to 

the training program. The research team 

will reinforce or expand training 

content that showed less than desired 

results on the pilot test. Potential 

impacts of this project include 

improvements in management practices 

such as the design of work schedules 

and improvements in officers’ personal 

behaviors for coping with the demands 

of shift work and long work hours. The 

total estimated annualized burden hours 

is 334. There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time.
