disagrees with the determination. 

Nothing in the AAC administrative 

process shall create any discovery or 

other such rights. 

H. Burden of Proof 

The burden of proof as to all matters 

at issue in the appeal, including 

timeliness of the appeal if timeliness is 

at issue, rests with the institution. 

I. Oral Presentation 

The AAC may, in its discretion, 

whether or not a request is made, 

determine to allow an oral presentation. 

The AAC generally grants a request for 

oral presentation if it determines that 

oral presentation is likely to be helpful 

or would otherwise be in the public 

interest. Notice of the AAC’s 

determination to grant or deny a request 

for oral presentation will be provided to 

the institution. If oral presentation is 

held, the institution will be allowed to 

present its position on the issues raised 

in the appeal and to respond to any 

questions from the AAC. The AAC may 

also require that FDIC staff participate 

as the AAC deems appropriate. 

J. Dismissal and Withdrawal 

An appeal may be dismissed by the 

AAC if it is not timely filed, if the legal 

or factual basis for the appeal is not 

discernable from the appeal, or if the 

institution moves to withdraw the 

appeal. 

K. Scope of Review and Decision 

The AAC will review all submissions 

concerning an appeal, review the final 

determination being appealed, consider 

any other matters it deems in its 

discretion to be appropriate, and issue 

a written decision within 60 days from 

the date the appeal is filed, or within 60 

days from oral presentation, if held. The 

AAC may reconsider its decision only 

on a showing of an intervening change 

in the controlling law or the availability 

of material evidence not reasonably 

available when the decision was issued. 

L. Publication of Decisions 

AAC decisions will be published and 

the published AAC decisions will be 

redacted to avoid disclosure of exempt 

information. In cases where redaction is 

deemed to be insufficient to prevent 

improper disclosure, published 

decisions may be presented in summary 

form. Published decisions of the AAC 

may be cited as precedent in appeals to 

the AAC. 

M. AAC Guidelines Generally 

Appeals to the AAC will be governed 

by these guidelines. The AAC will 

retain the discretion to waive any 

provision of the guidelines for good 

cause; the AAC may adopt 

supplemental rules governing AAC 

operations; the AAC may order that 

material be kept confidential; and the 

AAC may consolidate similar appeals. 

N. Effect on Deposit Insurance 

Assessment Payments 

The use of the procedures set forth in 

these guidelines by an insured 

institution will not affect, delay, or 

impede the obligation of that institution 

to make timely payment of any deposit 

insurance assessment. 

By order of the Board of Directors. 

Dated at Washington, DC, this 20th day of 

March, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Subject of Challenge Competition 

We invite the general public to create 

short (<2 min long), compelling videos 

sharing how they use health IT or 

consumer e-health tools to manage high 

blood pressure. Videos will demonstrate 

how health IT is used to support blood 

pressure control through activities such 

as routine monitoring of blood pressure, 

taking blood pressure medications as 

prescribed, and maintaining a healthy 

lifestyle that helps lower blood 

pressure. High blood pressure (aka 

‘‘hypertension’’) affects one in three 

adults in the U.S. and is sometimes 

referred to as the ‘‘silent killer’’ because 

it damages the brain, heart, eyes, and 

kidneys while causing no symptoms. If 

left untreated, high blood pressure can 

result in strokes, heart attacks, and 

kidney failure. Fortunately there are 

steps that each of us can take to prevent 

or manage high blood pressure and 

change our future health for the better. 

Participants can demonstrate how 

they use health IT or consumer e-health 

tools to monitor their blood pressure, 

take medication as prescribed to 

maintain low blood pressure, and/or 

make lifestyle changes that reduce your 

risks and enhance heart health. 

Participants may also discuss how they 

are partnering with their health care 

provider to leverage health IT to better 

monitor and manage their blood 

pressure. 

Health care providers can 

demonstrate how they use electronic 

health records and other health IT to 

manage their patients’ hypertension, 

help them take their medications as 

prescribed, and help their patients 

adopt healthy habits that enhance 

control of blood pressure.

Proposed Project 

ROPS Attributes Identified by 

Distribution Channel Intermediaries— 

New—National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

It is commonly acknowledged that it 

is in the public interest to develop more 

effective ways of determining the 

incentives, impediments and barriers to 

the adoption of items of safety 

equipment that are known to be 

effective in reducing occupational 

traumatic injury and death. 

Despite the development of rollover 

protective structures (ROPS), an item of 

safety equipment which has proven 

preventive effectiveness against the 

leading cause of occupational fatality in 

the Agricultural, Forestry and Fishing 

industrial sector (tractor rollovers), the 

incidence of fatal and nonfatal traumatic 

occupational injury within the sector 

remains elevated. Tractor rollovers 

remain the leading cause of fatal injury 

in this sector, occurring at a rate of 5.4 

per every 100,000 workers (NSC). Some 

125 fatalities occurred each year from 

this cause, for the years 1992–2002; both 

fatal injuries and nonfatal injuries were 

overwhelmingly associated with the use 

of tractors that were not protected by 

ROPS. 

The efficacy of rollover protective 

structures in preventing injury and 

death from crushing injuries is well 

established. Various research efforts 

have been undertaken over a period of 

time and in international venues, 

especially the Scandinavian countries, 

to confirm the role of ROPS in 

preventing injury from this source. As a 

result of these studies, the efficacy of 

ROPS in preventing this type of injury 

was widely accepted by manufacturers 

internationally and in this country. 

Beginning in the mid-1980’s, 

manufacturers of farm tractors in this 

country universally elected to protect 

tractor operators through the 

incorporation of integral ROPS within 

the design and manufacture of all new 

farm tractors sold for domestic use. 

However, significant numbers of older, 

unprotected farm tractors remain in use. 

ROPS are available for many of these 

unprotected tractors, as a retrofit item 

manufactured by fabricators or by 

original equipment manufacturers. 

However, a number of tractors remain in 

operation without rollover protective 

structures, and operators of these 

tractors are at an elevated risk of injury. 

ROPS are generally provided to end 

users by tractor parts dealers, who 

constitute channel intermediaries 

between the manufacturer and the 

consumer. However, little is known 

about the decision processes that tractor 

parts dealers follow in deciding whether 

or not to recommend, source or provide 

this item of safety equipment to end 

users. The current project will generate 

ranking scores for the importance 

accorded to various issues of concern to 

tractor parts dealers; these mostimportant items were previously 

developed through qualitative research 

studies. The Northeast Equipment 

Dealers’ Association (NEDA), a trade 

group representing tractor parts dealers, 

and which is active in 12 Northeast and 

Mid-Atlantic U.S. States, will represent 

the collective membership of the 

distribution channel intermediaries. 

Some 500 establishments hold 

membership in NEDA, and each of these 

establishments will be surveyed to 

provide ranking criteria. 

CDC requests OMB approval to collect 

customized information, from 500 

NEDA establishments, over a one-month 

period. This information will be of two 

kinds: Demographic information on the 

client base served by the NEDA 

establishment, and importance ranking
