SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: On November 30, 2021, 

the National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH), within the 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), published a notice of 

meeting and request for testimony in the 

Federal Register [Federal Register 

Number 2021–26016] [86 FR 67949]. 

The Federal Register notice announced 

a CDC Tribal Consultation Session that 

was held on February 3, 2022. CDC/ 

NIOSH hosted American Indian and 

Alaska Native (AI/AN) federally 

recognized tribes for a virtual tribal 

consultation session on the NIOSH draft 

strategic plan entitled American Indian 

and Alaska Native Worker Safety and 

Health Strategic Plan. NIOSH accepted 

written tribal testimony until February 

24, 2022. The consultation session was 

held in accordance with Presidential 

Executive Order No. 13175, November 

6, 2000, and the Presidential 

Memorandum of November 5, 2009, and 

September 23, 2004, Consultation and 

Coordination with Indian Tribal 

Government, and CDC/ATSDR’s Tribal 

Consultation Policy which can be found 

at https://www.cdc.gov/tribal/ 

documents/consultation/policy475.pdf. 

NIOSH carefully considered the oral 

comments from the Tribal Consultation 

Session and the written comments 

submitted to the Tribal Consultation 

Session docket, https://www.cdc.gov/ 

niosh/docket/archive/docket345/ 

default.html. Based on the pertinent 

comments received, NIOSH has 

developed the Revised Draft Strategic 

Plan on which public comment is now 

being requested. 

NIOSH guided the development of 

this strategic plan and hopes the 

strategic plan will serve as a blueprint 

to enhance the health, safety, and wellbeing of AI/AN workers across the 

United States. NIOSH, tribes, tribalserving organizations, and other 

interested partners can work 

collaboratively to accomplish the 

objectives outlined in the strategic plan. 

AI/AN workers account for 2.7 

million or 1.8% of the total U.S. 

workforce.1 These workers are 

employed in a wide variety of 

occupations, with the highest numbers 

in office and administrative support, 

sales and related occupations, 

management, transportation, and 

material moving, and food preparation 

and serving. Many AI/AN workers are 

also employed through tribal enterprises 

such as medical care, housing, 

manufactured products, food 

production, livestock, and tourism. 

Tribes are often the largest employer on 

tribal lands. 

National data on occupational 

injuries, illnesses, and fatalities among 

AI/AN workers are scarce, and there is 

limited research on worker safety, 

health, and well-being in tribal 

communities. Given the lack of data, the 

true numbers are likely much higher. 

NIOSH requests input on this strategic 

plan for research and outreach to 

enhance worker safety and health in 

tribal communities. 

Information Needs: Additional data 

and information are needed to ensure 

the Revised Draft Strategic Plan 

addresses research and outreach that is 

most critical for understanding and 

reducing work-related injuries, 

illnesses, and fatalities among AI/AN 

workers. NIOSH seeks comments on the 

following: 

1. Does the Revised Draft Strategic 

Plan address the most pressing 

occupational safety and health concerns 

for the AI/AN workforce? If not, what 

would you suggest be included or 

removed, and why? Please provide 

details on other health concerns 

considered pressing (e.g., type, 

prevalence, economic burden), 

including the reasoning for the 

suggestion that the health and safety 

concern be included or excluded from 

the Revised Draft Strategic Plan. 

2. What recommendations do you 

have for NIOSH for partnering with 

tribal nations to conduct the activities 

described in this plan? Please explain 

the basis for your suggestion(s), such as 

past experiences, subject matter 

expertise, or collaborations on other 

efforts. 

3. What other organizations may have 

an interest in collaborating with NIOSH 

to improve occupational safety and 

health for AI/AN workers? Please 

explain the basis of your suggestion(s) 

such as past experiences, subject matter 

expertise, or a shared mission or vision. 

4. How might NIOSH improve 

communication with tribal nations 

regarding worker safety and health 

issues? Please include examples of the 

type of communication material and 

channel. 

5. What support may be needed to 

address occupational safety and health 

concerns for the AI/AN workforce? 

Please provide details explaining how

workforce.
