Title: National Youth in Transition 

Database and Youth Outcome Survey. 

OMB No.: 0970–0340. 

Description: The Foster Care 

Independence Act of 1999 (42 U.S.C. 

1305 et seq.) as amended by Public Law 

106–169 requires State child welfare 

agencies to collect and report to the 

Administration on Children and 

Families (ACF) data on the 

characteristics of youth receiving 

independent living services and 

information regarding their outcomes. 

The regulation implementing the 

National Youth in Transition Database, 

listed in 45 CFR 1356.80, contains 

standard data collection and reporting 

requirements for States to meet the law’s 

requirements. ACF will use the 

information collected under the 

regulation to track independent living 

services, assess the collective outcomes 

of youth, and potentially to evaluate 

State performance with regard to those 

outcomes consistent with the law’s 

mandate. 

Respondents: State agencies that 

administer the John H. Chafee Foster 

Care Independence Program.

Proposed Project 

The Epidemiology and Impact of 

Workplace Violence in Pennsylvania 

Teachers and Paraprofessionals— 

NEW—National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Workplace violence (WPV) is a 

significant concern for employers and 

employees alike; every year in the U.S., 

WPV results in hundreds of deaths, 

nearly two million nonfatal injuries, and 

billions of dollars in costs. Historically, 

the education field has not been the 

focus of WPV research; however, the 

classroom is a workplace too. From 

1999 to 2003, teachers were the victims 

of approximately 183,000 nonfatal 

crimes including 119,000 thefts and 

65,000 violent crimes such as rape and 

assault. 

Workplace violence is not limited to 

physical attacks; verbal threats, 

bullying, and harassment also produce 

psychological harm to teachers and 

school staff. A newer form of such 

violence is that of electronic aggression. 

The CDC defines the problem as: ‘‘Any 

type of harassment or bullying (teasing, 

telling lies, making fun of someone, 

making rude or mean comments, 

spreading rumors, or making 

threatening or aggressive comments) 

that occurs through e-mail, a chat room, 

instant messaging, a Web site (including 

blogs) or text messaging.’’ While a 

recent study found that 35% of young 

people had been the victims of 

electronic aggression, the impact of this 

in the workplace is relatively unknown. 

The extant evidence indicates that 

working in a school environment carries 

an excess risk for becoming a victim of 

some form of WPV; however, little is 

known about the incidence or risk 

factors for such. 

The Occupational Safety and Health 

Act, Public Law 91–596 (section 

20[a][1]) authorizes the National 

Institute for Occupational Safety and 

Health (NIOSH) to conduct research to 

advance the health and safety of 

workers. NIOSH is conducting a 

population-based, cross-sectional survey 

among teachers and paraprofessionals in 

the State of Pennsylvania. The goals of 

this study are (1) Estimate the number 

and prevalence proportions (rates) of 

physical, non-physical, and electronic 

WPV in teachers and paraprofessionals 

in Pennsylvania; (2) Identify the 

circumstances and most common risk 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

55046 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 205 / Monday, October 26, 2009 / Notices 

factors for physical, non-physical, and 

electronic WPV in teachers and 

paraprofessionals in Pennsylvania; (3) 

Measure the impact of WPV on job 

satisfaction and quality of life. These 

goals are solely based on the State of 

Pennsylvania and are not based on a 

nation wide study. 

NIOSH is proposing to conduct a 

population-based, cross-sectional survey 

among teachers and paraprofessionals in 

the State of Pennsylvania. Paper-andpencil surveys will be mailed to 

potential participants through the 

Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers (PFT), 

Philadelphia Federation of Teachers 

(PA–AFT), and the Pennsylvania State 

Education Association (PSEA). Since 

approximately 90% of teachers and 65% 

of paraprofessionals in the State of 

Pennsylvania hold membership in one 

of these three unions and no known 

State-wide database exists that includes 

both teachers and paraprofessionals, a 

sample of eligible participants will be 

drawn using State-based union records. 

A stratified random sample will be 

drawn to ensure representativeness on 

important dimensions such as gender of 

participant and urban-rural status of the 

school district. In conjunction with each 

participating union, study packets 

consisting of an introduction letter, 

paper-and-pencil survey, and nonresponse form will be mailed to eligible 

participant’s home addresses. The 

questionnaire is a paper-and-pencil 

survey and provides information on the 

following categories: demographics, 

occupation, physical assault 

characteristics, non-physical assault 

characteristics, electronic aggression 

characteristics, job satisfaction, and 

quality of life. 

The sample size for the crosssectional survey is estimated to be 

approximately 5,000 teachers and 

paraprofessionals. This estimate is 

based on the number of reported 

teachers and paraprofessionals 

represented by the three unions 

participating in this study and on an 

80% response rate that is comparable to 

the response rate of previously 

conducted surveys in similar 

populations. Pilot test data 

demonstrates that respondents should 

take approximately 30 minutes to 

complete the paper-and-pencil survey, 

resulting in an annualized burden 

estimate of 2,500 hours. Participation in 

the study is completely voluntary. 

This survey will also utilize the skills 

and time of a variety of union office and 

administrative staff for the preparation 

of the survey packets. The exact number 

of administrative staff utilized at each 

union location, as well as the additional 

work demands placed on them has yet 

to be determined, though our best guess 

is 13 individuals. It is estimated that 

three office support staff from the 

Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers, six 

from the Pennsylvania State Education 

Association, and four from the 

Philadelphia Federation of Teachers 

will be needed for a grand total of 13 

support staff personnel. Additional 

work activities could include: 

Preparation of the sampling frame 

database and non-respondent database, 

printing of mailing labels, affixation of 

mailing labels onto survey packets, and 

e-mail and/or phone communication 

with NIOSH. For each mailing, we 

estimate that each of the 13 

administration assistants will dedicate 

two hours to the mailing. So, for each 

mailing, a grand total of 26 hours will 

be burdened. There will be three 

separate mailings for a grand total 

burden of 78 burden hours. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annual burden hours are 

2,578.
