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 Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation 

and Prevention Program (FFFIPP) 

conducts independent investigations of 

fire fighter (FF) line-of-duty deaths 

(LODD) 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 Program 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 has 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 fire fighter 

lives if large numbers of FDs do not 

know where to find NIOSH reports or 

have the resources to access them. 

The purpose of this data collection is 

to 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 (MV)-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 Program. 

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. 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) 

positions (firefighter, 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. There is no cost to 

respondents other than their time to 

participate.

Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork 

Reduction Act Review 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 

has submitted the information 

collection request titled, ‘‘Aggregate 

Reports for Tuberculosis Program 

Evaluation’’ to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. CDC previously 

published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection 

Submitted for Public Comment and 

Recommendations’’ notice on March 14, 

2022, to obtain comments from the 

public and affected agencies. CDC did 

not receive comments related to the 

previous notice. This notice serves to 

allow an additional 30 days for public 

and affected agency comments. 

CDC will accept all comments for this 

proposed information collection project. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

that: 

(a) 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; 

(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and assumptions 

used; 

(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; 

(d) 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 submission of 

responses; and 

(e) Assess information collection costs. 

To request additional information on 

the proposed project or to obtain a copy 

of the information collection plan and 

instruments, call (404) 639–7570. 

Comments and recommendations for the 

proposed information collection should

Proposed Project 

Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis 

Program Evaluation (OMB Control No. 

0920–0457, Exp. 12/31/2022)— 

Extension—National Center for HIV, 

Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention 

(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, National Center for HIV, 

Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 

Prevention, Division of Tuberculosis 

Elimination (CDC/NCHHSTP/DTBE) 

requests an Extension of the Aggregate 

Reports for Tuberculosis Program 

Evaluation information collection, 

previously approved under OMB 

Control No. 0920–0457. This request is 

for a three-year period. 

The requested Extension allows 

awardees to address the change in the 

national strategies for TB control and 

prevention emphasizing treatment of 

individuals with latent TB infection 

(LTBI) and at high risks of progression 

to TB disease. This data collection will 

help programs to assess high-risk 

populations served and to evaluate the 

adaptation and effectiveness of new 

diagnostic tests and drug regimens in 

treating LTBI. 

DTBE is the lead agency for 

tuberculosis elimination in the United 

States. To ensure the elimination of 

tuberculosis in the United States, CDC 

monitors indicators for key program 

activities, such as finding tuberculosis 

infections in recent contacts of cases, 

and in other persons likely to be 

infected, and providing therapy for 

latent tuberculosis infection. In 2000, 

CDC implemented two program 

evaluation reports for annual 

submission: (1) Aggregate report of 

follow-up and treatment for contacts to 

tuberculosis cases, and (2) Aggregate 

report of targeted testing and treatment 

for latent tuberculosis infection. The 

respondents for these reports are the 67 

state and local tuberculosis control 

programs receiving federal cooperative 

agreement funding through DTBE. 

These reports emphasize treatment 

outcomes, high-priority target 

populations vulnerable to tuberculosis, 

and electronic report entry and 

submission to CDC through the National 

Tuberculosis Indicators Project (NTIP), a 

secure web-based system for program 

evaluation data. No other federal agency 

collects this type of national 

tuberculosis data. The Aggregate report 

of follow-up for contacts of tuberculosis 

and Aggregate report of targeted testing 

and treatment for latent tuberculosis 

infection are the only data source about 

latent tuberculosis infection for 

monitoring national progress toward 

tuberculosis elimination with these 

activities. CDC provides ongoing 

assistance in the preparation and 

utilization of these reports at the local 

and state levels of public health 

jurisdiction. CDC also provides 

respondents with technical support for 

NTIP access. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 268 annual burden hours. 

Participation by respondents is 

voluntary, and there is no cost to 

participants other than their time.
