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 

Control and Prevention, has been 

delegated the authority to sign Federal 

Register notices pertaining to 

announcements of meetings and other 

committee management activities, for 

both the Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention and the Agency for Toxic 

Substances and Disease Registry.

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 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, 

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. 

Proposed Project 

Assessing Fatigue and Fatigue 

Management in U.S. Onshore Oil and 

Gas Extraction—New—National 

Institute for Occupational Safety and 

Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Oil and gas extraction (OGE) workers 

play an important role in supporting the 

United States economy and help fulfill 

the energy needs of Americans and 

American businesses. OGE workers 

have significant risks for a variety of 

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.
