Proposed Project: Multidisciplinary 

Health Care Models for Women 

Sustainability Assessment Survey— 

OMB No. 0990–NEW–Office of the 

Secretary/Office on Women’s Health 

(OWH). 

Abstract: The goal of this assessment 

is to identify and measure the key 

components of sustainability of 

federally funded programs. Specifically, 

this assessment will examine the extent 

to which organizations previously 

funded under OWH’s Multidisciplinary 

Health Care Models for Women 

(MHMW) effort have sustained or 

enhanced the core components of the 

program after OWH funding ended, and 

identify factors that have facilitated or 

inhibited sustainability at MHMW 

program sites. 

This assessment is designed to collect 

data from 48 MHMW program sites 

through four methods: (1) Abstraction of 

administrative data from grant and 

contract documents to establish a 

baseline understanding of each site, (2) 

a Web-based survey of key program staff 

at each site to determine the extent to 

which the five core components were 

implemented, (3) key informant 

interviews with core program staff, and/ 

or other types of staff as necessary, to 

better understand the factors that 

influenced implementation and 

sustainability, and (4) in-person visits to 

12 sites to collect in-depth information 

from additional types of staff, 

community partners, and clients. OWH 

is seeking approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for the 

Web-based survey and the key 

informant interviews.

National Institutes of Health 

National Institute of Environmental 

Health Sciences; Division of 

Extramural Research and Training; 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request; Hazardous Waste 

Worker Training—42 CFR Part 65 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 

Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the National 

Institute of Environmental Health 

Sciences (NIEHS), the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request to review and approve 

the information collection listed below. 

This proposed information collection 

was previously published in the Federal 

Register on April 14, 2009, pages 

17195–17196, and allowed 60 days for 

public comment. No public comments 

were received. The purpose of this 

notice is to allow an additional 30 days 

for public comment. The National 

Institutes of Health may not conduct or 

sponsor, and the respondent is not 

required to respond to, an information 

collection that has been extended, 

revised, or implemented on or after 

October 1, 1995 unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

Proposed Collection: Title: Hazardous 

Waste Worker Training—42 CFR Part 

65. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of OMB No. 0925– 

0348, expiration date September 30, 

2009. Need and Use of Information 

Collection: This request for OMB review 

and approval of the information 

collection is required by regulation 42 

CFR part 65(a)(6). The National Institute 

of Environmental Health Sciences 

(NIEHS) has been given major 

responsibility for initiating a worker 

safety and health training program 

under Section 126 of the Superfund 

Amendments and Reauthorization Act 

of 1986 (SARA) for hazardous waste 

workers and emergency responders. A 

network of non-profit organizations that 

are committed to protecting workers and 

their communities by delivering highquality, peer-reviewed safety and health 

curricula to target populations of 

hazardous waste workers and 

emergency responders has been 

developed. In twenty-one years (FY 

1987–2008), the NIEHS Worker Training 

program has successfully supported 20 

primary grantees that have trained more 

than 2.2 million workers across the 

country and presented over 130,250 

classroom and hands-on training 

courses, which have accounted for 

nearly 30 million contact hours of actual 

training. Generally, the grant will 

initially be for one year, and subsequent 

continuation awards are also for one 

year at a time. Grantees must submit a 

separate application to have the support 

continued for each subsequent year. 

Grantees are to provide information in 

accordance with S65.4(a), (b), (c) and 

65.6(b) on the nature, duration, and 

purpose of the training, selection 

criteria for trainees’ qualifications and 

competency of the project director and 

staff, cooperative agreements in the case 

of joint applications, the adequacy of 

training plans and resources, including 

budget and curriculum, and response to 

meeting training criteria in OSHA’s 

Hazardous Waste Operations and 

Emergency Response Regulations (29 

CFR 1910.120). As a cooperative 

agreement, there are additional 

requirements for the progress report 

section of the application. Grantees are 

to provide their information in hard 

copy as well as enter information into 

the WETP Grantee Data Management 

System. The information collected is 

used by the Director through officers, 

employees, experts, and consultants to 

evaluate applications based on technical 

merit to determine whether to make 

awards. Frequency of Response: 

Biannual. Affected Public: Non-profit 

organizations. Type of Respondents: 

Grantees. The annual reporting burden 

is as follows: Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 18; Estimated Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 2; Average 

Burden Hours Per Response: 14; and 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours 

Requested: 504. The annualized cost to 

respondents is estimated at: $16,380. 

There are no Capital Costs, Operating 

Costs and/or Maintenance Costs to 

report. 

Request for Comments: Written 

comments and/or suggestions from the

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the function of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility;
