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: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses; and 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

Noise Exposures and Hearing Loss in 

the Oil and Gas Extraction Industry— 

New—National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Oil and gas extraction (OGE) workers 

play an important role in supporting the 

United States economy and help fulfill 

the energy needs of Americans and 

American businesses. OGE workers 

have significant risks for a variety of 

exposures at oil and gas well sites, and 

there has been no significant 

occupational noise exposure research in 

the United States onshore upstream 

OGE sector. This proposed project will 

characterize relationships between noise 

exposure, chemical exposures, hearing 

loss, and hearing loss prevention 

practices within the onshore OGE 

industry. 

Primary data will be collected using 

three approaches. First, researchers will 

collect direct measurements of noise 

and ototoxic chemicals on job sites, 

including personal exposure 

assessments of OGE workers. Second, 

researchers will use a questionnaire to 

collect information on noise and 

chemical exposures, hearing loss, and 

associated factors among OGE workers. 

Third, audiometry tests performed by 

NIOSH will be offered to industry 

partners to further understand extent of 

hearing loss amongst OGE workers. 

Data will be used to understand noise 

exposures, ototoxic chemical exposures, 

self-reported hearing loss, and hearing 

loss prevention practices in the OGE 

industry. Subsequently, the data and 

analysis will be used to create evidencebased interventions and 

recommendations, which will be 

communicated to the spectrum of OGE 

industry stakeholders. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 65 annual burden hours. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time to participate.

Proposed Project 

Interstate Travel of Persons: Report of 

Illness or Death (42 CFR part 70) (OMB 

Control No. 0920–0488, Exp. 6/30/ 

2022)—Revision—National Center for 

Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious 

Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 361 of the Public Health 

Service Act (42 U.S.C. 264) authorizes 

the Secretary of the Department of 

Health and Human Services to make 

and enforce regulations necessary to 

prevent the introduction, transmission, 

or spread of communicable diseases 

from foreign countries into the United 

States, or from one State or possession 

into any other State or possession. CDC 

administers regulations pertaining to 

interstate control of communicable 

diseases (42 CFR part 70), and sections 

42 CFR parts 70.4 and 70.11 include 

requirements reports of ill persons or 

death if occurring during interstate 

travel. 

The intended use of the information 

is to ensure that CDC can assess and 

respond to reports of ill persons or 

death that occur on conveyances 

engaged in interstate travel and assist 

state and local health authorities if an 

illness or death occurs that poses a risk 

to public health. Generally, the primary 

source of this information is aircraft 

traveling within the United States. 

There are no standard forms 

associated with this information 

collection. Reporting requirements 

imposed by the regulations have been 

reduced and streamlined by reliance 

upon State and local health departments 

to manage most situations occurring 

within their jurisdictions. If submission 

of information under these regulations 

becomes necessary, all information may 

be submitted in the most expeditious 

manner practical. At this time, all 

reporting of a communicable disease or 

death is accomplished electronically, 

e.g., via Air Traffic Control or via the 

airlines’ points of contact (e.g., 

Operations Center, Flight Control, 

Airline Station Manager.) 

For reports of ill persons or death on 

a conveyance engaged in interstate 

traffic, the total burden is estimated 

from 1,600 respondents submitting 

domestic reports of death or 

communicable disease in 2021. This is 

a significant increase due to reports of 

illness from the COVID–19 pandemic, 

with an average burden of seven 

minutes per report. CDC requests 

approval for an estimated 186 annual 

burden hours. There is no cost to 

respondents other than the time 

required to make the report of illness or 

death.

Proposed Project 

National Outbreak Reporting System 

(OMB Control No. 0920–1304, Exp. 09/ 

30/2023)—Revision—National Center 

for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious 

Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The National Outbreak Reporting 

System (NORS) is a web-based platform 

that is used by local, state, and 

territorial health departments in the 

United States to report all waterborne 

and foodborne disease outbreaks and 

enteric disease outbreaks transmitted by 

contact with environmental sources, 

infected persons or animals, or 

unknown modes of transmission to the 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention. CDC analyzes outbreak data 

to determine trends and develop and 

refine recommendations for prevention 

and control of foodborne, waterborne, 

and enteric disease outbreaks. 

CDC requests OMB approval to 

combine the two previously approved 

forms (Form 52.12 Waterborne Disease 

Transmission and Form 52.13 

Foodborne, Person to Person Disease 

Transmission, Animal Contact, 

Environmental Contamination, 

Unknown Transmission mode) 

previously approved under OMB 

Control No. 0920–1304 into one form 

(Form 52.14). This change will 

streamline the data elements that are 

collected, by resulting in the utilization 

of one form for all reportable modes of 

transmission and eliminating 

overlapping data collection fields. 

The total annualized burden is 

estimated to be 1160 hours. There are no 

costs to respondents other than their 

time.
