Behavior Optimization; and Risk 

Management. To date, little empirical 

research has been conducted to address 

practical research questions related to 

each. 

Therefore, the current research task is 

designed to investigate research 

questions related to the practical 

purpose, implementation, and 

evaluation of each element: (1) how is 

each of these HSMS elements best 

executed within mining organizations?; 

(2) how do you know an element has 

been successfully implemented within 

the organization?; and (3) what are the 

barriers to implementing these HSMS 

elements within mining organizations? 

This study employs a strictly 

qualitative approach to answer the 

research questions. A qualitative 

approach allows researchers to probe 

participants and learn about their 

specific experiences through in-depth 

examples. A protocol that will be used 

during an interview and/or focus group 

was developed. The subject matter in 

the protocol is focused on implementing 

and evaluating specific elements within 

managers’ HSMS and possible barriers 

to implementation and evaluation. 

NIOSH is seeking a three year 

approval for this project which will 

target mine sites for participation by 

reaching out to organizational leaders/

managers of health and safety at 

respective mines for their participation. 

Data collection, in the form of 

interviews and/or focus groups will 

occur to answer the questions for this 

study. 

Respondents targeted for this study 

include corporate or site mine managers 

(also referred to in some cases as 

leaders, executives, coordinators or 

supervisors). These individuals are 

responsible for the day-to-day 

administration and/or implementation 

of the HSMS. In some cases, more than 

one individual is responsible for certain 

aspects of the HSMS. Therefore, 

depending on how these responsibilities 

are designated at mine sites and how 

many of these leaders are interested at 

each mine site, researchers will either 

facilitate a single interview or a focus 

group with mine site leadership. 

Participants will be recruited through 

members of mine management using a 

mine recruitment script. It is estimated 

that a sample of up to 100 individuals 

(approximately 34 per year) will agree to 

participate among a variety of mine 

sites. Participants will be between the 

ages of 18 and 75, currently employed, 

and living in the United States. 

Participation will require no more than 

60 minutes of workers’ time 

(approximately five minutes for the 

informed consent process and 55 

minutes for the interview or focus 

group—there is no cost to respondents 

other than their time). 

Upon collection of the data, 

researchers will analyze and determine 

the effect that each element has on a 

mine’s ability to develop, implement or 

maintain an HSMS. With that said, lines 

of theoretical inquiry will be used to 

inform the thinking behind the practical 

guidance ultimately provided to mining 

organizations. Essentially, best practices 

can be provided that are applicable 

across an HSMS, not respective to just 

one aspect or element. Therefore, the 

findings will be used to make an HSMS 

more feasible and applicable for the 

mining industry.

Proposed Project 

Contact Investigation Outcome 

Reporting Forms (OMB Control No. 

0920–0900, expiration date: October 31, 

2017)– Revision -National Center for 

Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious 

Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global 

Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Division of Global 

Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) 

requests revision to a currently 

approved information collection, OMB 

Control Number 0920–0900, Contact 

Investigation Outcome Reporting Forms. 

CDC is requesting the addition of Ebolaspecific information collection tools to 

supplement the CDC’s routine contact 

investigation activities so that CDC can 

better assess the risk to individuals who 

may have been exposed to a confirmed 

case of Ebola while traveling to or 

within the United States. These forms 

were approved by OMB under an 

emergency clearance, OMB Control 

Number 0920–1032. The additional 

forms to be added are as follows: 

• Ebola Airline passenger exposure 

questionnaire—This contact 

investigation form gathers information 

from airline passengers who traveled on 

plane(s) and sat within a 3 foot area 

around the suspected case and travel 

companions of the suspected case to 

determine the level of exposure and 

risk, as well as other passengers who 

may have had contact with the case’s 

bodily fluids. Information gathered in 

this form is shared with the CDC to 

determine risk level. Risk levels are 

outlined in CDC’s Movement and 

Monitoring Guidance. 

• Ebola exposure Assessment Flight 

Crew—The flight exposure 

questionnaire is used to ascertain the 

same relevant information included in 

the passenger questionnaire for all crew 

who worked on flight(s) and came into 

contact with Ebola patient(s). 

• Ebola exposure Assessment 

Cleaning Crew—This form collects the 

same information as the flight crew 

exposure questionnaire, used to 

determine the level of exposure a 

member of the cleaning crew who 

serviced a flight with an ill patient(s). 

• Ebola exposure Assessment Airport 

or other port of entry staff—This 

questionnaire is utilized for airport staff 

who may have come into contact with 

a person ill with Ebola. Airport staff 

members are identified through 

conversations with airport authority to 

determine which employees carried out 

tasks that would have put them in 

contact with the ill person or their body 

fluids. 

• Passengers of other commercial 

conveyance Ebola exposure 

questionnaire—This questionnaire 

collects the same information as the 

airline passenger questionnaire but will 

be utilized for passengers of commercial 

conveyance that is land- or waterborne 

• Finally, the introduction and 

confirmation script is to be used by CDC 

staff manning open call lines available 

for persons who traveled on planes that 

carried suspected or confirmed patients 

with Ebola. As with the other 

questionnaires, this script assesses the 

risk of a plan passenger who was not in 

the immediate vicinity of the Ebola 

patient but still has concerns about the 

level of exposure and risk of contracting 

the virus. 

CDC is not proposing any changes to 

the routine contact investigation forms 

already approved under this 

information collection request. 

The total burden associated with this 

revision is 10,949 hours, including both 

standard contact investigation forms 

and updated forms to account for Ebola 

transmission. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: Case Plan Requirement, Title 

IV–E of the Social Security Act 

OMB No.: 0970–0428 

Description: Under section 471(a)(16) 

of title IV–E of the Social Security Act 

(the Act), to be eligible for payments, 

states and tribes must have an approved 

title IV–E plan that provides for the 

development of a case plan for each 

child for whom the State or Tribe 

receives foster care maintenance 

payments and that provides a case 

review system that meets the 

requirements in section 475(5) and 

475(6) of the Act. 

The case review system assures that 

each child has a case plan designed to 

achieve placement in a safe setting that 

is the least restrictive (most family-like) 

setting available and in close proximity 

to the child’s parental home, consistent 

with the best interest and special needs 

of the child. Through these 

requirements, States and Tribes also 

comply, in part, with title IV–B section 

422(b) of the Act, which assures certain 

protections for children in foster care. 

The case plan is a written document 

that provides a narrative description of 

the child-specific program of care. 

Federal regulations at 45 CFR 1356.21(g) 

and section 475(1) of the Act delineate 

the specific information that should be 

addressed in the case plan. The 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF) does not specify a 

recordkeeping format for the case plan 

nor does ACF require submission of the 

document to the Federal government. 

Case plan information is recorded in a 

format developed and maintained by the 

State or Tribal child welfare agency.
