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 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 57 / Friday, March 23, 2012 / Notices 17063 

of issues related to the provision of 

ROPS or the ROPS configuration itself, 

as self-selected ranking criteria, 

following the maximum difference 

scaling methodology. 

This information will allow CDC to 

compile a systematic, quantifiable 

inventory of preference data for a group 

that is considered representative of 

tractor parts dealers nationwide. 

Additionally, this data will allow for 

segmentation of response by groups 

with particularized interests. 

The survey pilot questionnaire will be 

administered by the New York Center 

for Agricultural Medicine and Health 

(NYCAMH). Following the 

administration of a pilot test 

questionnaire to assess comprehension 

and message comprehension, a finalized 

questionnaire will be routinely 

submitted to NEDA establishments by 

electronic mail. The estimated burden 

per response is 17 minutes. Each 

respondent establishment will receive a 

personalized advance notification email, 

followed by an email with a link to the 

CDC Web site. 

CDC anticipates that routine 

information collection will begin in 

August 2012. Assuming full 

participation, the total estimated burden 

for the one-time retrospective data 

collection is 148 hours which includes 

500 respondents for the survey and 20 

respondents from the pilot project. At a 

reduced response rate of 80%, total 

burden would be 450 participants for a 

total of 134 hours, assuming 

replacement and thus full participation 

for pilot participants. There are no costs 

to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project 

Medical Monitoring Project (MMP)— 

0920–0740, exp. 5/31/2012—Extension 

with change—National Center for HIV, 

Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention 

(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

This proposed data collection 

supplements the HIV/AIDS surveillance 

programs in 23 selected state and local 

health departments, which collect 

information on persons diagnosed with, 

living with, and dying from HIV 

infection and AIDS and will incorporate 

data elements from two data collections: 

Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance 

(SHAS) project (0920–0262) and the 

Adult/Adolescent Spectrum of HIV 

Disease (ASD). Both projects stopped 

data collection in 2004. 

Although CDC receives surveillance 

data from all U.S. states, these 

supplemental surveillance data are 

needed to make population-based 

national estimates of key indicators, 

related to the quality of HIV-related 

ambulatory care, the severity of need for 

HIV-related care and services, and HIVrelated behaviors and clinical outcomes. 

This project collects data on behaviors 

and clinical outcomes from a probability 

sample of HIV-infected adults receiving 

care in the U.S. Collection of data from 

interviews with HIV-infected patients 

provides information on patient 

demographics, and the current levels of 

behaviors that may facilitate HIV 

transmission: Sexual and drug use 

behaviors; patients’ access to, use of and 

barriers to receiving HIV-related 

secondary prevention services; 

utilization of HIV-related medical 

services; and adherence to drug 

regimens. Collection of data from 

patient medical records provides 

information on: Demographics and 

insurance status; the prevalence and 

incidence of AIDS-defining 

opportunistic illnesses and comorbidities related to HIV disease; the 

receipt of prophylactic and 

antiretroviral medications; and whether 

patients are receiving screening and 

treatment according to Public Health 

Service guidelines. No other Federal 

agency collects national populationbased behavioral and clinical 

information from HIV-infected adults in 

care. The data are expected to have 

significant implications for policy, 

program development, and resource 

allocation at the state/local and national 

levels. 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention requests approval for a 

3-year extension with change for the 

previously approved Medical 

Monitoring Project (MMP) 0920–0740 

exp. 5/31/2012). Data will be collected 

through in-person and telephoneadministered, computer-assisted 

interviews conducted by trained 

interviewers in 23 Reporting Areas (16 

states, Puerto Rico and 6 separately 

funded cities), and through medical 

record abstraction by trained 

abstractors. The methods for the project 

have been updated to include telephone 

interviews as an interviewing option. 

Otherwise, the project activities and 

methods will remain the same as those
