SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology; and (e) estimates of capital 

or start-up costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop, 

acquire, install and utilize technology 

and systems for the purpose of 

collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information, to search 

data sources, to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Proposed Project 

Workplace Violence Prevention 

Programs in New Jersey Healthcare 

Facilities (OMB No. 0920–0914, expires 

02/29/2016)—Extension—National 

Institute for Occupational Safety and 

Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH) is requesting a two-year 

extension to complete the nursing home 

interviews for the project entitled 

‘‘Workplace Violence Prevention 

Programs in New Jersey Healthcare 

Facilities’’. The long-term goal of the 

proposed project is to reduce violence 

against healthcare workers. The 

objective of the proposed study is twofold: (1) To examine healthcare facility 

compliance with the New Jersey 

Violence Prevention in Health Care 

Facilities Act, and (2) to evaluate the 

effectiveness of the regulations in this 

Act in reducing assault injuries to 

workers. 

Our central hypothesis is that 

facilities with high compliance with the 

regulations will have lower rates of 

employee violence-related injury. 

NIOSH received OMB approval (0920– 

0914) to evaluate the legislation at 

hospitals and at nursing homes, to 

conduct a nurse survey and to conduct 

a home healthcare aide survey. Data 

collection is complete for the hospitals, 

the nurse survey, and the home 

healthcare aide survey. We are 

requesting an extension to evaluate the 

legislation at nursing homes. 

First, we will conduct face-to-face 

interviews with the Chairs of the 

Violence Prevention Committees in 40 

nursing homes (20 in New Jersey and 20 

in Virginia) who are in charge of 

overseeing compliance efforts. The 

purpose of the interviews is to measure 

compliance to the state regulations 

(violence prevention policies, reporting 

systems for violent events, violence 

prevention committee, written violence 

prevention plan, violence risk 

assessments, post incident response and 

violence prevention training). The 

details of their Workplace Violence 

Prevention Program are in their existing 

policies and procedures. Second, we 

will also collect assault injury data from 

nursing home’s violent event reports 

three years pre-regulation (2009–2011) 

and three years post-regulation (2012– 

2014). This data is captured in existing 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA) logs and is 

publicly available. The purpose of 

collecting these data is to evaluate 

changes in assault injury rates before 

and after enactment of the regulations. 

A contractor will conduct the 

interviews, collect the nursing home’s 

policies and procedures, and collect the 

assault injury data (OSHA logs). 

Healthcare workers are nearly five 

times more likely to be victims of 

violence than workers in all industries 

combined. While healthcare workers are 

not at particularly high risk for jobrelated homicide, nearly 60% of all 

nonfatal assaults occurring in private 

industry are experienced in healthcare 

occupations. 

Six states have enacted laws to reduce 

violence against healthcare workers by 

requiring workplace violence 

prevention programs. However, little is 

understood about how effective these 

laws are in reducing violence against 

healthcare workers. We will test our 

central hypothesis by accomplishing the 

following specific aims: 

1. Compare the comprehensiveness of 

nursing home workplace violence 

prevention programs before and after 

enactment of the New Jersey regulations 

in nursing homes; Working hypothesis: 

Based on our preliminary research, we 

hypothesize that enactment of the 

regulations will improve the 

comprehensiveness of nursing home 

workplace violence prevention program 

policies, procedures and training. 

2. Examine patterns of assault injuries 

to nursing home workers before and 

after enactment of the regulations; 

Working hypothesis: Based on our 

preliminary research, we hypothesize 

that rates of assault injuries to nursing 

home workers will decrease following 

enactment of the regulations. 

Healthcare facilities falling under the 

regulations are eligible for study 

inclusion (i.e., nursing homes). A 

contractor will conduct face-to-face 

interviews with the chairs of the 

Violence Prevention Committees at 40 

nursing homes, who as stated in 

regulations, are in charge of overseeing 

compliance efforts. These individuals 

will include nursing home 

administrators. The purpose of the 

interviews is to measure compliance to 

the state regulations (Aim 1). The 

interview form was pilot-tested by the 

study team in the fall 2010 and includes 

the following components as mandated 

in the regulations: Violence prevention 

policies, reporting systems for violent 

events, violence prevention committee, 

written violence prevention plan, 

violence risk assessments, post incident 

response and violence prevention 

training. The nursing home’s policy and 

procedures documents will be obtained 

by the contractor to provide details 

about their workplace violence 

prevention program; a NIOSH employee 

will complete the abstraction form from 

the policy and procedures documents 

received from the contractor. Questions 

will also be asked about barriers and 

facilitators to developing the violence 

prevention program. These data will be 

collected in the post-regulation time 

period.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 59 / Friday, March 27, 2015 / Notices 16393 

A contractor will also collect assault 

injury data from nursing home violent 

event reports three years pre-regulation 

(2009–2011) and three years postregulation (2012–2014). This data will 

be collected from existing OSHA logs; a 

NIOSH employee will fill out the 

Employee Incident Form from the 

OSHA logs received from the contractor. 

The purpose of collecting these data is 

to evaluate changes in assault injury 

rates before and after enactment of the 

regulations (Aim 2). The following 

information will be abstracted from the 

OSHA logs: Date, time and location of 

the incident; identity, job title and job 

task of the victim; identity of the 

perpetrator; description of the violent 

act, including whether a weapon was 

used; description of physical injuries; 

number of employees in the vicinity 

when the incident occurred, and their 

actions in response to the incident; 

recommendations of police advisors, 

employees or consultants, and; actions 

taken by the facility in response to the 

incident. No employee or perpetrator 

identifiable information will be 

collected. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated burden hours are 120.
