Proposed Project 

Randomized Controlled Trial of 

Routine Screening for Intimate Partner 

Violence—Revision—National Center 

for Injury Prevention and Control 

(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) requests OMB 

approval of revisions to a currently 

approved collection entitled 

‘‘Randomized Controlled Trial of 

Routine Screening for Intimate Partner 

Violence’’ (approved 01/24/2008; 

expiration date 01/29/2011). The 

proposed changes are a result of 

findings from the Pretest that showed 

high numbers of Spanish speakers at 

recruitment clinics, a higher prevalence 

of reported exposure to intimate partner 

violence (IPV), and redundancy of the 

20-item mental health scale with other 

measures being used. As a result, we are 

requesting approval to extend trial 

inclusion criteria to Spanish speakers, a 

reduction in sample size, and deletion 

of a 20-question mental health scale. 

These last two changes will result in a 

decrease in burden to respondents. In 

addition, we are requesting an extension 

of three years to complete this 

information collection. The overarching 

purpose of the information collection 

has not changed nor are there 

substantial changes to the study 

methods. 

The revisions requested will reduce 

annual burden by 410 hours. Deletion of 

the mental health scale will reduce the 

burden response by 2 minutes; the 

reduction of sample size will reduce 

number of respondents; and extension 

of information collection time will 

decrease annualized burden. The Pretest 

has already been conducted and the 

estimates of burden for the interview in 

the Main Study are based on results 

from the Pretest. Based on our new 

sample size estimates adjusted as a 

result of findings in the Pretest, in the 

Main Study, we will approach an 

estimated total of 3340 women to 

establish eligibility and recruit about 

2675 (total) women. The annualized 

average response burden equals 308 

hours, which is a reduction of 410 

burden hours. 

There is no cost to respondents.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS), Department of Health 

and Human Services, is publishing the 

following summary of proposed 

collections for public comment. 

Interested persons are invited to send 

comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this 

collection of information, including any 

of the following subjects: (1) The

burden. 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Eligibility Error 

Rate Measurement in Medicaid and the 

Children’s Health Insurance Program; 

Use: The collection of information is 

necessary for CMS to produce national 

error rates for Medicaid and CHIP as 

required by Public Law 107–300, the

Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA) 

(Pub. L. 111–3) with regard to the 

Medicaid Eligibility Quality Control 

(MEQC) and Payment Error Rate 

Measurement (PERM) programs. The 

information collected from the States 

selected for review will be used by CMS 

to ensure States use a statistically sound 

sampling methodology, to ensure the 

States complete reviews on all cases 

sampled, and will be used by the federal 

contractor to calculate State and 

national Medicaid and CHIP eligibility 

error rates. Form Number: CMS–10184

Proposed Project 

Evaluation and Development of 

Hearing Loss Interventions—New— 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

NIOSH, under Public Law 91–596, 

Sections 20 and 22 (Section 20–22, 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970) has the responsibility to conduct 

research relating to innovative methods, 

techniques, and approaches dealing 

with occupational safety and health 

problems. 

This research relates to reducing the 

incidence of noise induced hearing loss 

in the coal mining industry through 

improved development and 

dissemination of hearing loss 

prevention products. The overall 

objective of this project is to improve 

the effectiveness of hearing loss 

prevention research products through 

development, refinement, promotion, 

and long term evaluation. Research 

products developed in previous projects 

and new products developed in current 

projects will be evaluated and promoted 

for industry-wide adoption and impact. 

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is 

the most common occupational illness 

in the United States today, with 30 

million workers exposed to excessive 

noise levels. Mining has the highest 

prevalence of hazardous noise exposure 

of any major industry sector (Tak, Davis, 

& Calvert, 2009) and is second only to 

the railroad industry in prevalence of 

workers reporting hearing difficulty 

(Tak & Calvert, 2008). The Hearing Loss 

Prevention Branch at NIOSH Office of 

Mine Safety and Health Research 

(OMSHR) has developed multiple 

hearing loss prevention research 

products with the intent of controlling 

noise exposure and reducing the 

occurrence of NIHL in mining. 

However, many of the products are not 

widely used in industry. The current 

project has several goals related to 

determining the effectiveness of our 

products and developing additional 

products; however it is also necessary to 

determine why the products are not 

receiving greater field utilization so that 

we can amend the procedure for 

dissemination and to assure that future 

products are transferred to industry in a 

more efficient manner. 

The outcomes of this project will 

include a culmination of various 

physical measures such as noise 

dosimetry, noise measures, and 

audiometry. These are common industry 

hygiene methods that typically do not 

require special approval. However, it 

will also be necessary to conduct semistructured interviews and 

questionnaire-based assessments with 

various mine personnel who are using 

NIOSH-developed noise controls to gain 

an understanding of the barriers to 

acceptance. Employees will be asked 

about their motivation to implement 

noise controls, their attitude towards the 

specific control being assessed, their 

attitude toward safety, and the methods 

they use to find and implement health 

and safety information. These 

interviews will take place with health
