Proposed Project 

Environmental Health Specialists 

Network (EHS–NET) Program, OMB 

0920–0792, expiration 10/31/2011— 

Revision—National Center for 

Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The CDC is requesting OMB approval 

for three additional years to use this 

generic clearance for a research program 

focused on identifying the 

environmental causes of foodborne 

illness. This revision will provide OMB 

clearance for EHS–Net data collections 

conducted in 2011 through 2014 (a 

maximum of 3 annually). The program 

is revising the generic information 

collection request (ICR) to reduce the 

number of respondent groups, reduce 

the number of studies conducted and 

the estimated burden, and collect more 

generalizable data. 

Reducing foodborne illness first 

requires identification and 

understanding of the environmental 

factors that cause these illnesses. We 

need to know how and why food 

becomes contaminated with foodborne 

illness pathogens. This information can 

then be used to determine effective food 

safety prevention methods. The purpose 

of this food safety research program is 

to identify and understand 

environmental factors associated with 

foodborne illness and outbreaks. This 

program will continue to involve up to 

3 data collections a year. This program 

is conducted by the Environmental 

Health Specialists Network (EHS–Net), a 

collaborative project of CDC, FDA, 

USDA, and six state/local sites (CA, 

NYC, NY, MN, RI, and TN). 

Environmental factors associated with 

foodborne illness include both food 

safety practices (e.g., inadequate 

cleaning practices) and the factors in the 

environment associated with those 

practices (e.g., worker and retail food 

establishment characteristics). To 

understand these factors, we need to 

continue to collect data from those who 

prepare food (i.e., food workers) and on 

the environments in which the food is 

prepared (i.e., retail food establishment 

kitchens). Thus, our respondents will be 

retail food establishment food workers. 

For each data collection, we will 

collect data in approximately 480 retail 

food establishments. For each data 

collection, we will collect data from a 

maximum 1,440 workers. Each 

respondent will respond only once and 

the average burden per response will be 

approximately 30 minutes. We will 

conduct up to 3 data collections a year. 

The maximum annual interview/survey 

burden for all 3 data collections will be 

2,160 hours. 

We expect a worker response rate of 

approximately 70 percent. Thus, for 

each data collection, we will need to 

conduct a recruiting screener with 

approximately 2,057 worker 

respondents to obtain the needed 

number of respondents. Each 

respondent will respond only once and 

the average burden per response will be 

3 minutes. As we plan to conduct up to 

3 data collections annually, the 

maximum annual recruiting screener 

burden will be 309 hours. The total 

maximum annual burden will be 2,469 

hours. There is no cost to the 

respondents other than their time.

Also found at the docket is a 

supporting document for reference, the 

Evidence Report. The Evidence Report 

includes primary evidence, studies, and 

data tables that were used by the 

Guideline authors in developing the 

recommendations in the Guideline. 

The Draft Guideline is for use by 

organ procurement organizations 

(OPOs); transplant centers, including 

physicians, nurses, administrators, and 

clinical coordinators; laboratory 

personnel responsible for testing and 

storing donor and recipient specimens; 

and persons responsible for developing, 

implementing, and evaluating infection 

prevention and control programs for 

OPOs and transplant centers. This Draft 

Guideline provides evidence-based 

recommendations for reducing 

unexpected transmission of HIV, HBV 

and HCV from deceased and living 

organ donors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since 

2008, CDC has collaborated with state 

and federal agencies, national partners, 

academicians, public and private health 

professionals, the transplant field, 

public health organizations, and other 

partners to revise and expand the 1994 

Guidelines for Preventing Transmission 

of Human Immunodeficiency Virus 

(HIV) through Transplantation of 

Human Tissue and Organs (1994 

Guideline). The 2011 Draft Guideline 

updates the previous recommendations 

for HIV, includes recommendations to 

reduce disease transmission of HBV and 

HCV, and addresses issues such as 

donor risk assessment, donor screening, 

HBV- and HCV-infected donors and 

transplantation, recipient informed 

consent, recipient screening, donor and 

recipient specimen collection and 

storage, and tracking and reporting of 

HIV, HBV, and HCV. As with the 1994 

Guideline, the recommendations 

address adult and pediatric donors who 

are living or deceased, as well as 

transplant candidates and recipients. In 

addition to summarizing current 

scientific knowledge about solid organ 

transplant safety, the 2011 Draft 

Guideline also identifies important gaps 

in the literature where further research 

is needed. 

CDC worked with the University of 

Pennsylvania’s Health System Center for 

Evidence-based Practice (CEP) and 

sought input in each phase of the Draft 

Guideline’s development from subject 

matter experts in HIV and hepatitis 

through formation of a Guideline Expert 

Panel to develop the new Draft 

Guideline. CDC also formed a Guideline 

Review Committee to provide feedback 

on the Draft Guideline 

recommendations. Members of the 

Review Committee included 

representatives from public health, the 

regulatory arena, transplant infectious 

disease experts, and other stakeholders. 

This new Draft Guideline will not be a 

federal rule or regulation.

OMB No.: 0970–0311. 

Description: Section 453(j)(3) of the 

Social Security Act (the Act) allows for 

matching between the National 

Directory of New Hires (maintained by 

the Federal Office of Child Support 

Enforcement (OCSE)) and State TANF 

Agencies for purposes of carrying out 

responsibilities under programs funded 

under part A of Title IV of the Act. To 

assist OCSE and Office of Family

to the TANF program attributable to the 

use of NDNH data matches, the State 

TANF Agencies have agreed to provide 

OCSE with a written description of the 

performance outputs and outcomes 

attributable to the State TANF Agency’s 

use of NDNH match results. This 

information will help OCSE 

demonstrate how the NDNH supports 

the OCSE’s mission and strategic goals. 

Respondents: State TANF Agencies.
