Proposed Data Collection Submitted 

for Public Comment and 

Recommendations 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice with comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of 

its continuing effort to reduce public 

burden and maximize the utility of 

government information, invites the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies the opportunity to comment on 

a proposed and/or continuing 

information collection, as required by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

This notice invites comment on an 

Extension of a previously approved 

information collection project titled 

Assessment of Occupational Injury 

among Fire Fighters Using a Followback Survey. The purpose of this project 

is to collect follow-back telephone 

interview data from injured and 

exposed firefighters treated in 

emergency departments (EDs) and 

produce a descriptive summary of these 

injuries and exposures. 

DATES: CDC must receive written 

comments on or before September 17, 

2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CDC–2021– 

0063 by any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: 

Regulations.gov. Follow the instructions 

for submitting comments. 

• Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information 

Collection Review Office, Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 

Clifton Road NE, MS–D74, Atlanta, 

Georgia 30329. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and 

Docket Number. CDC will post, without 

change, all relevant comments to 

Regulations.gov. 

Please note: Submit all comments 

through the Federal eRulemaking portal 

(regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the 

address listed above. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

request more information on the 

proposed project or to obtain a copy of 

the information collection plan and 

instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, 

Information Collection Review Office, 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS–

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 

Assessment of Occupational Injury 

among Fire Fighters Using a Followback Survey (OMB Control No. 0920– 

1244)—Extension—National Institute 

for Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Studies have reported that firefighters 

have high rates of non-fatal injuries and 

illnesses as compared to the general 

worker population. As firefighters 

perform critical public safety activities 

and protect the safety and health of the 

public, it follows that understanding 

and preventing injuries and exposures 

among firefighters will have a benefit 

reaching beyond the workers to the 

public. 

As mandated in the Occupational 

Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 

91–596), the mission of NIOSH is to 

conduct research and investigations on 

occupational safety and health. Related 

to this mission, the purpose of this 

project is to conduct research that will 

provide a detailed description of nonfatal occupational injuries and 

exposures incurred by firefighters. This 

information will offer detailed insight 

into events that lead to the largest 

number of nonfatal injuries and 

exposures among firefighters. The 

project will use two related data 

sources. The first source is data 

abstracted from medical records of 

firefighters treated in a nationally 

stratified sample of emergency 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 135 / Monday, July 19, 2021 / Notices 38101 

departments. These data are routinely 

collected through the occupational 

supplement to the National Electronic 

Injury Surveillance System (NEISSWork). The second data source, for 

which NIOSH is seeking OMB approval, 

is responses to telephone interview 

surveys of the injured and exposed 

firefighters identified within NEISSWork. 

The proposed one-year extension of 

the telephone interview surveys will 

supplement NEISS-Work data with a 

description of firefighter injuries and 

exposures, including worker 

characteristics, injury types, injury 

circumstances, injury outcomes, and use 

of personal protective equipment (PPE). 

Previous reports describing 

occupational injuries and exposures to 

firefighters provide limited details on 

specific regions or sub-segments of the 

population. As compared to these 

earlier studies, the scope of the 

telephone interview data will be 

broader, as it includes sampled cases 

nationwide, and has no limitations 

regarding type of employment (i.e., 

volunteer versus career). Results from 

telephone interviews will be analyzed 

and reported as a case series. 

The sample size for the telephone 

interview survey is estimated to be 

approximately 35 firefighters annually. 

This is based on the current survey 

completion rate of about 11%. While 

this completion rate is lower than 

originally expected, the project team 

still expects to gain additional insight to 

injuries and exposures that firefighters 

incur. 

The NIOSH Division of Safety 

Research (DSR) is conducting this 

project. DSR has a strong interest in 

improving surveillance of firefighter 

injuries and exposures, to provide the 

information necessary for effectively 

targeting and implementing prevention 

efforts, and consequently reducing 

occupational injuries and exposures to 

firefighters. The Consumer Product 

Safety Commission (CPSC) will also 

contribute to this project, as they are 

responsible for coordinating the 

collection of all NEISS-Work data, and 

for overseeing the collection of all 

telephone interview data. 

NIOSH request approval for an 

estimated 18 burden hours annually. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time.
