Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a 
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-7090. Send written 
comments to CDC, Desk Officer; Human Resources and Housing Branch, New 
Executive Office Building, Room 10235; Washington, DC 20503. Written 
comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    NIOSH Training Grants, 42 CFR Part 86, Application and Regulations 
(OMB No. 9020-0261)--Extension--National Institute for Occupational 
Safety and Health (NIOSH). Public law 91-596 requires CDC/NIOSH to 
provide an adequate supply of professionals to carry out the purposes 
of the Act to assure a safe and healthful work environment. NIOSH 
supports educational programs through training grant awards to academic 
institutions for the training of industrial hygienists, occupational 
physicians, occupational health nurses and safety professionals. Grants 
are provided to 15 Education and Research Centers (ERCs) which provide 
multi-disciplinary graduate academic and research training for 
professionals, continuing education for practicing professionals and 
outreach programs in the Region. There are also currently 41 Training 
Project Grants (TPGs) which provide single discipline academic and 
technical training throughout the country. 42 CFR Part 86, Grants for 
Education Programs in Occupational Safety and Health, Subpart B--
Occupational Safety and Health Training, provides guidelines for 
implementing Public Law 91-596.
    The training grant application form (CDC2.145.A) is used by the 
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health to collect 
information from new grant applicants submitting competing 
applications, and from existing applicants for competing renewal 
grants. The information is used to determine the eligibility of 
applicants for grant review and by peer reviewers during the peer 
review process to evaluate the merit of the proposed training project. 
CDC Form 2.145B is used for non-competing awards to evaluate the annual 
progress of the applicant during the approved project period.
    Extramural training grant awards are made annually following an 
extramural review process of the training grant applications, review by 
an internal Training Grants Council and an internal review of non-
competing applicants. The estimated annualized burden is 6,161 hours.
