Proposed Project 

Research Data Center Proposal for 

Access to Confidential Data for the 

National Center for Health Statistics— 

Existing Collection in use without an 

OMB Control Number—National Center 

for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 306(b)(4) of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k(b)(4)), 

as amended, authorizes that the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

(DHHS), acting through NCHS, receive 

requests for providing data and statistics 

to the public. NCHS receives requests 

for confidential data from the public 

through the Research Data Center 

Proposal for Access to Confidential 

Data. This is a request for approval from 

OMB to collect information via the 

Researcher Data Center proposal. 

As part of a comprehensive data 

dissemination program, the Research 

Data Center (RDC), National Center for 

Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 

requires prospective researchers who 

need access to confidential data to 

complete a research proposal. 

Researchers self-select whether they 

need access to confidential data to 

answer their research questions. The 

RDC requires the researcher to complete 

a research proposal so NCHS 

understands the research proposed, 

whether confidential data are available 

to address the research questions, how 

the confidential data will be used, and 

what data outputs the researcher needs 

to satisfy their project. The completed 

proposal is sent to NCHS for 

adjudication on whether the proposed 

research is possible. NCHS estimates 

receipt of an average of 110 proposals 

per year. All information collection is 

conducted electronically. 

OMB approval is requested for three 

years. The estimated burden per 

response is three hours and there are no 

costs to respondents other than their 

time to complete the proposal. The total 

estimated annualized burden is 330 

hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also 

requires federal agencies to provide a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each new 

proposed collection, each proposed 

extension of existing collection of 

information, and each reinstatement of 

previously approved information 

collection before submitting the 

collection to the OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help:

Proposed Project 

Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and 

Prevention Program (FFFIPP) Survey— 

New—National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The FFFIPP conducts independent 

investigations of fire fighter (FF) line-ofduty deaths and recommends ways to 

prevent deaths and injuries. In 2003, an 

evaluation was conducted to determine 

the extent to which recommendations 

from NIOSH investigations of FF 

fatalities are being implemented by fire 

departments (FDs). Since then, there 

have been changes to the FFFIPP 

recommendations and methods of 

disseminating FFFIPP reports. For 

example, there have been changes to: (1) 

The details and types of 

recommendations for preventing FF 

fatalities, and (2) the method to 

disseminate the FFFIPP reports to FDs 

(driven in large part by cost). 

Dissemination methods have evolved 

from hardcopy mailings to FDs to 

internet-based, with notifications of new 

FFFIPP reports by the fire service media 

and if FDs sign-up at the NIOSH website 

for notifications of new reports. 

Understanding how or if NIOSH 

recommendations are used by various 

types of FDs will allow a better 

understanding of barriers to the use of 

proven prevention recommendations 

and help identify approaches to 

improve the delivery of services to FDs. 

Additionally, we will gain insight into 

whether changes to the communication 

and dissemination have impacted the 

reach of these recommendations. 

Knowing if different types of FDs are 

aware of and willing to access FFFIPP 

reports and recommendations in nonprint formats is critical, as these 

recommendations cannot have the 

intended impact of saving FF lives if 

large numbers of FDs do not know 

where to find NIOSH reports or have the 

resources to access them. 

This data collection will assess FD 

implementation of the NIOSH FFFIPP 

recommendations and identify barriers 

to implementation of recommendations. 

Results will provide an understanding 

of current FD operational procedures, 

insight into motor vehicle-related 

activities and related policies and 

identify whether FFFIPP 

recommendations are being utilized by 

FDs. Findings will inform strategies for 

communication of future 

recommendations and identify areas for 

potential intervention projects in order 

to improve the delivery of services and 

help ensure an effective and efficient 

stakeholder experience with the FFFIPP. 

The estimate for burden hours is 

based on a pilot test of the survey 

instrument by eight FD personnel. In the 

pilot test, the average time to complete 

the survey including time for reviewing 

instructions, gathering needed 

information, and completing the survey 

was 10–25 minutes. For the purposes of 

estimating burden hours, the upper 

limit of this range is used. There are 

screening questions at the beginning of 

the survey so all respondents may not 

actually participate. 

The respondent universe is based on: 

(1) 4,500 FDs, (2) eight strata (region, 

department type), and (3) position (FF, 

chief, company officer). An estimated 

13,500 respondents are anticipated to 

participate in the survey. The annual 

respondent burden is estimated to be 

4,050 hours.
