SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Occupational Research Agenda 

(NORA) is a partnership program 

created to stimulate innovative research 

and improved workplace practices. The 

national agenda is developed and 

implemented through the NORA sector 

and cross-sector councils. Each council 

develops and maintains an agenda for 

its sector or cross-sector. 

Background: The National 

Occupational Research Agenda for Oil 

and Gas Extraction is intended to 

identify the research, information, and 

actions most urgently needed to prevent 

occupational injuries. The National 

Occupational Research Agenda for Oil 

and Gas Extraction provides a vehicle 

for stakeholders to describe the most 

relevant issues, gaps, and safety and 

health needs for the sector. Each NORA 

research agenda is meant to guide or 

promote high priority research efforts on 

a national level, conducted by various 

entities, including: Government, higher 

education, and the private sector. 

The first National Occupational 

Research Agenda for Oil and Gas 

Extraction was published in 2011 for the 

second decade of NORA (2006–2016). 

The revised agenda was developed 

considering new information about 

injuries and illnesses, the state of the 

science, and the probability that new 

information and approaches will make a 

difference. As the steward of the NORA 

process, NIOSH invites comments on 

the draft National Occupational 

Research Agenda for Oil and Gas 

Extraction. Comments expressing 

support or with specific 

recommendations to improve the 

Agenda are requested. A copy of the 

draft Agenda is available at https://

www.regulations.gov (see Docket 

Number CDC–2018–0065).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The proposed NIOSH 

document describes the underlying 

science and general approach used by 

NIOSH researchers when conducting 

high quality, scientifically sound 

assessments of the health risk associated 

with workplace hazards. The report 

focuses on chemical risk assessment 

practices; however, some of these 

practices may also benefit assessments 

of other workplace hazards, such as 

traumatic injury or work stress. Risk 

assessments are an important tool for 

informed decision-making on workplace 

safeguards; therefore, these assessments 

have supported NIOSH 

recommendations on limiting chemical 

exposures. The information provided by 

the proposed NIOSH document is 

intended for NIOSH risk assessors, other 

scientists, stakeholders, and the public 

to improve their understanding of the 

NIOSH risk assessment process. 

The purpose of the public review of 

the draft document is to obtain 

comments on whether the proposed 

NIOSH draft document (1) adequately, 

clearly, and concisely explains NIOSH 

practices in risk assessment; and (2) 

demonstrates that its practices are 

consistent with the current scientific 

knowledge. 

Purpose of Meeting 

To discuss and obtain comments on 

the draft document, Current Intelligence 

Bulletin: NIOSH Practices in 

Occupational Risk Assessment. Special 

emphasis will be placed on discussion 

of the following questions for reviewers: 

(1) Are the methods presented in the 

proposed NIOSH document consistent 

with the current scientific knowledge of 

toxicology, epidemiology, industrial 

hygiene, and risk assessment? If not, 

provide specific information and 

references that should be considered. 

(2) Is there additional scientific 

information related to the issues of the 

proposed NIOSH document that should 

be considered for inclusion? If so, 

provide information and specify 

references for consideration. Is there any 

discussion in the document that should 

be omitted? 

(3) Is information in the proposed 

NIOSH document explained in a clear 

and transparent manner? If not, specify 

(section, page, and line number) where 

clarification is needed. 

Online Public Meeting 

The meeting is open to the public, 

limited only by the number of logins
