mining industry faces that create 

barriers to the availability and 

implementation of safety technologies, 

and we believe there are other more 

subtle reasons that we do not fully 

understand as a Government research 

agency. The data will help provide 

insight into what the most important 

barriers are from the perspective of the 

organizations that must purchase, use, 

approve, and manufacture these safety 

technologies. 

NIOSH has an understanding of some 

of these barriers, however, NIOSH is not 

an end user of these products. Thus, the 

goal of the study is to provide a 

complete perspective of the barriers 

from the point of view of the mine 

operators and technology innovators, in 

order to improve the efficacy of the 

contract and grant awards that NIOSH 

administers under the authority of the 

MINER Act. 

The Federal Mine Safety & Health Act 

of 1977, Section 501 authorizes the 

collection of this data. A CDC contractor 

will collect the required data. 

NIOSH will identify 200 stakeholder 

organizations for structured interviews 

and a workshop. Stakeholder 

organizations include those parties 

involved in the development, supply, 

use, and regulation of safety and health 

protection technologies relevant to 

underground coal mining. Because there 

is no nationally representative database 

of these stakeholder organizations, 

NIOSH will use web searches of 

supplier and mining company Web 

sites, online mining publications, trade 

association member directories, federal 

and state regulator Web sites, and 

university mining research and 

development programs to compile a list 

of 200 organizations. Representatives of 

NIOSH Office of Mining Safety and 

Health Research will also augment the 

search with their input. 

From the 200 stakeholder 

organizations, 150 representatives will 

participate in structured interviews. 

CDC expects that a pre-call to each 

organization will require 15 minutes to 

complete and the structured interview 

will require 60 minutes to complete, 

including the time it may take 

respondents to look-up and retrieve 

needed information. 

In addition, 30 stakeholder 

representatives will participate in the 

workshop. The burden table below 

reflects 15 hours of burden for each 

workshop group. This includes the inperson participation of 9 hours and 6 

hours of travel time. A total of 10 

respondents per year will participate in 

the workshop. The estimated 

annualized burden hours for the 

respondents’ time to participate in this 

information collection are 217 hours. 

CDC seeks a three-year OMB approval 

to collect information.

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 National 

Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System 

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 April 13, 2017 to obtain 

comments from the public and affected 

agencies. CDC received seven 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 or 

send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct

Proposed Project 

Assessing School-centered HIV/STD 

Prevention Efforts in a Local Education

Agency (OMB Control #0920–1035, 

expiration 11/30/2017)—Revision— 

Division of Adolescent and School 

Health (DASH), National Center for 

HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 

Prevention, Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

HIV infections remain high among 

young men who have sex with men. The 

estimated number of new HIV infections 

increased between 2008 and 2010 both 

overall and among MSM ages 13 to 24. 

Sexual risk behaviors associated with 

HIV, other sexually transmitted disease 

(STD), and pregnancy often emerge in 

adolescence. The 2015 Youth Risk 

Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) 

data revealed 41.2% of U.S. high school 

students reported having had sex, and 

among those who had sex in the 

previous three months, only 56.9% 

reported having used a condom during 

last sexual intercourse. The data 

revealed high school students 

identifying as gay, lesbian, and bisexual 

and those reporting sexual contact with 

both males and females were more 

likely to engage in sexual risk-taking 

behaviors than heterosexual students. 

Given the disproportionate risk for 

HIV among YMSM ages 13–24, it is 

important to find ways to reach the 

younger youth (i.e., ages 13–19) in this 

range to decrease sexual risk behaviors 

and increase health-promoting 

behaviors such as routine HIV testing. 

Schools provide one opportunity for 

this. Because schools enroll more than 

22 million teens (ages 14–19) and often 

have existing health and social services 

infrastructure, schools and their staff 

members are well-positioned to connect 

youth to a wide range of needed 

services, including housing assistance, 

support groups, and sexual health 

services such as HIV testing. As a result, 

CDC’s DASH has focused a number of 

HIV and STD prevention efforts on 

strategies that can be implemented in or 

centered around schools. 

For this revised information 

collection project, CDC requests a oneyear OMB approval. This CDC-funded 

information collection project is the 

third data collection to assess HIV and 

STD prevention efforts in one local 

education agency (LEA). CDC’s 

cooperative agreement, under funding 

opportunity announcement PS13–1308: 

Promoting Adolescent Health through 

School-Based HIV/STD Prevention and 

School-Based Surveillance, funds 

agencies and organizations to 

implement the following four key 

strategies. Strategy 1: School-Based 

Surveillance; Strategy 2: School-Based 

HIV/STD Prevention; Strategy 3: 

Capacity Building Assistance for 

School-Based HIV/STD Prevention; and 

Strategy 4: School-Centered HIV/STD 

Prevention for Young Men Who Have 

Sex with Men. This project aligns with 

Strategy 4 implementation. 

This collection will provide data and 

reports for the LEA, and will allow the 

LEA to identify program areas that are 

working well and other areas that need 

improvement. The findings will allow 

CDC to determine the potential impact 

of currently recommended strategies 

and make changes to those 

recommendations if necessary. 

The questionnaire covers 

demographics, HIV/STD risk behaviors, 

use of HIV/health services, experiences 

at school, including school 

connectedness, harassment and 

bullying, homophobia, support of 

LGBTQ students, sexual orientation, 

receipt of referral for HIV and STD 

prevention health services, and health 

education. 

This data collection system involves 

administration of a paper-and-pencil 

questionnaire to seven high schools that 

are participating in the HIV/STD 

prevention project. This is the third and 

final data collection of a 4-year project 

that includes three data collections; 

previous data collections occurred in 

December 2014 and December 2016. 

Data collection points coincide with the 

approximate beginning, mid-way, and 

end points of the cooperative agreement. 

We anticipate the final data collection 

will yield data from up to 16,500 high 

school students in grades 9 through 12 

at the selected schools. Although some 

students may have completed the 

questionnaire in one or more of the 

previous years, this is not a longitudinal 

design and researchers will not track 

individual student responses across the 

years. Researchers will not collect 

personally identifiable information. 

All students’ parents will receive 

parental consent forms to provide them 

with an opportunity to opt their 

children out of the study. Each student 

will read verbal assent language that 

explains that he or she may choose not 

to complete the questionnaire or may 

skip any questions without penalty. 

Participation is voluntary. 

The estimated burden per response 

ranges from 35–45 minutes due to the 

variability in skip patterns that may 

occur. Students will complete the 

questionnaire only once under this 

approval. Annualizing the collection 

over a one-year period results in an 

estimated annualized burden of 11,000 

hours for respondents. There are no 

costs to respondents other than their 

time.
