Proposed Project 

Emergency Self Escape for Coal 

Miners—New—National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 238 / Thursday, December 11, 2014 / Notices 73587 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention’s (CDC) mission is to 

promote health and quality of life by 

preventing and controlling disease, 

injury, and disability. The National 

Institute for Occupational Safety and 

Health (NIOSH) provides national and 

world leadership to prevent workrelated illness, injury, disability, and 

death by gathering information, 

conducting scientific research, and 

translating knowledge gained into 

products and services. NIOSH’s mission 

is critical to the health and safety of 

every American worker. The Office of 

Mine Safety and Health Research 

(OMSHR), one of the preeminent mining 

research laboratories in the world, is 

focused on occupational health and 

safety research for mine workers. 

Recent research by the National 

Academy of Sciences (NAS) has called 

for a detailed, formal task analysis of 

mine self-escape (National Research 

Council, 2013). Such an analysis should 

identify the knowledge, skills, abilities, 

and other attributes (KSAOs) needed by 

mine personnel in the event of a mine 

disaster to successfully complete an 

emergency self-escape. This analysis 

will identify gaps between worker 

demands and capabilities, and propose 

recommendations to either minimize 

those gaps or enhance existing systems 

(e.g., communications, training, 

technology). 

The purpose of the project is to 

enhance the ability of miners to escape 

from underground coal mines in the 

event of a fire, explosion, collapse of the 

mine structure, or flooding of the area 

by toxic gas or water. To escape, miners 

need to perform a set of tasks that apply 

specific knowledge and skills in moving 

through the mine, avoiding dangers, and 

using protective equipment. The project 

will identify the tasks, knowledge and 

skills, procedures, equipment, 

communications, and physical 

requirements of self-escape. The results 

are expected to lead to 

recommendations for improvements to 

task requirements and procedures, 

equipment, training and communication 

processes. 

NIOSH proposes this three-year study 

to better understand the requirements of 

emergency self-escape and to answer the 

following questions: 

• What tasks (and critical tasks) do 

miners perform during self-escape? 

• What knowledge beyond that 

needed to perform normal, routine 

mining tasks do miners require to 

facilitate successful self-escape? 

• What are the cognitive requirements 

(such as reasoning, or weighing and 

deciding among alternatives, 

recognizing when a course of action is 

not producing the intended results) 

beyond that needed to perform normal, 

routine mining tasks? 

• What other cognitive abilities or 

other cognitive competencies are 

needed? 

• What gaps exist between what 

miners are required to do for self-escape 

and their capabilities? 

• How can self-escape be improved 

by redesigning, eliminating, or 

modifying tasks or training, or by 

altering or introducing specific 

technologies/tools? 

To answer these questions, we will 

use a task analysis study design that 

utilizes a multiple-method approach, to 

include (a) review of available research, 

(b) interviews and focus group meetings 

with participants, and (c) unobtrusive 

observation (e.g., of drills). During 

interviews and focus groups, targeted 

questions are asked to elicit the level 

and type of desired information. This 

system of collecting information is 

‘‘active’’ in that participants are 

presented stimuli (e.g., disaster 

scenarios, worker roles) and asked 

directly to provide their perceptions 

(e.g., of tasks or cognitive requirements 

needed to accomplish self-escape in that 

disaster). Observation checklists have 

been developed to capture relevant 

information during the unobtrusive 

naturalistic observations of self-escape 

drills. These data are then organized, 

collated, and re-presented to 

participants for confirmation of 

accuracy. Recommendations are 

generated based on study findings, 

related research and practices, and 

logical inference. 

Participants will be mining personnel 

drawn from two operating coal mines, 

one large and one smaller mine, to 

represent the variety within the 

industry. The data collection schedule 

(e.g., timing and duration of interviews 

and focus groups) will be modified as 

needed to minimize disruption to mine 

operations. No more than 30 miner 

volunteers will participate in the study 

over three years. Minimal time (< 5 

minutes each) will be spent in 

recruitment and obtaining informed 

consent. Semi-structured interviews 

with mine personnel will require 1.5–2 

hours of their time depending on the 

interview. Focus group sessions will 

require approximately 12 hours of their 

time total but will be executed in 

smaller blocks of time. Observation of 

drills will occur as part of normal mine 

operations and will not result in any 

additional burden on the respondents. 

All participants will be between the 

ages of 18 and 75, currently employed, 

and living in the United States. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time.

Proposed Project 

Improving the Impact of Laboratory 

Practice Guidelines: A New Paradigm 

for Metrics—Clinical and Laboratory 

Standards Institute—NEW—Center for 

Surveillance, Epidemiology and 

Laboratory Services (CSELS), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention is funding three 5-year 

projects collectively entitled ‘‘Improving 

the Impact of Laboratory Practice 

Guidelines: A New Paradigm for 

Metrics’’. An ‘‘LPG’’ is defined as 

written recommendations for voluntary, 

standardized approaches for medical 

laboratory testing that takes into account 

processes for test selection, sample 

procurement and processing, analytical 

methods, and results reporting for 

effective diagnosis and management of 

disease and health conditions. LPGs 

may be disseminated to, and used by, 

laboratorians and clinicians to assist 

with test selection and test result 

interpretation. The overall purpose of 

these cooperative agreements is to 

increase the effectiveness of LPGs by 

defining measures and collecting 

information to inform better LPG 

creation, revision, dissemination, 

promotion, uptake, and impact on 

clinical testing and public health. The 

project will explore how these processes 

and their impediments and facilitators 

differ among various intended users of 

LPGs. Through this demonstration 

project, CDC seeks to understand how to 

customize LPG creation and promotion 

to better serve these intended users of 

LPGs. An important goal is to help 

organizations that sponsor the 

development of LPGs create a 

sustainable approach for continuous 

quality improvement to evaluate and 

improve an LPG’s impact through better 

collection of information. 

The CDC selected three organizations 

that currently create and disseminate 

LPGs to support activities under a 

cooperative agreement funding 

mechanism to improve the impact of 

their LPGs. The American Society for 

Microbiology, the Clinical and 

Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), 

and the College of American 

Pathologists, will each use their LPGs as 

models to better understand how to 

improve uptake and impact of these and 

future LPGs. Only the CLSI submission 

will be described in this notice. 

Specifically, the CLSI project will 

address two LPGs that are important to 

clinical testing and have a high public 

health impact: POCT12, Point-of-Care 

Blood Glucose Testing in Acute and 

Chronic Care Facilities and POCT13, 

Glucose Monitoring in Settings without 

Laboratory Support. These LPGs 

provide guidance and recommendations 

for personnel monitoring patient 

glucose levels at sites that have access 

to a hospital laboratory as well as 

locations, such as physician offices or 

nursing homes that do not have an onsite moderate or high complexity 

laboratory. It is expected that as a result 

of sustained improvements in the 

process of creating and updating these 

clinical LPGs, public health, which 

depends upon accurate and appropriate 

laboratory testing guided by the use of 

LPGs, will also generally benefit. The 

intended users of the CLSI’s POCT12 

and POCT13 LPGs will include point-ofcare coordinators, clinical laboratory 

directors, medical technologists, nurses, 

and medical doctors. 

The CLSI plans to collect information 

using the same survey instrument, 

‘‘Fingerstick Glucose Survey’’ (FGS), on 

three separate occasions. During the first 

information collection (FGS1), all 

targeted respondents will be asked to 

complete the survey. Respondents who 

indicate that they are not familiar with 

either POCT12 or POCT13 will be asked 

to provide an email address and offered 

a free copy of the applicable LPG. This 

subset of respondents will be asked to 

complete the same survey (FGS2) 4–6 

months after receiving the free LPG. 

After analysis of the information 

collected during the first two surveys, 

CLSI will make improvements to 

POCT12 and POCT13, such as provision 

of educational materials or helpful 

products such as quality control logs, 

and may also alter their marketing 

campaigns to address issues related to 

awareness and use of CLSI documents. 

The third survey (FGS3) will then be 

sent to all targeted respondents 

approximately 2.5 years after the first 

survey to obtain information that can be 

used to evaluate the impact of these 

improvements. Respondents that 

received a free copy of POCT12 or 

POCT13 following the first survey will 

also be contacted by email and asked to 

take the third survey. 

A link to the survey will be 

distributed to all targeted respondents 

either by email or postcard. The CLSI
