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 January 17, 2017 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 or 

send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct 

written comments and/or suggestions 

regarding the items contained in this 

notice to the Attention: CDC Desk 

Officer, Office of Management and 

Budget, 725 17th Street NW., 

Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)

Proposed Project 

Assessment of the Market for 

Electronic Technology for Underground 

Coal Mining Safety and Health 

Applications—New—Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health, Office of Mine Safety 

and Health Research. 

Background and Brief Description 

Underground coal mining in the U.S. 

is a relatively small industry (about 

46,000 employees) that operates in a 

unique and hazardous work 

environment. The common presence of 

explosive gasses and other hazards 

creates special safety requirements for 

equipment, including safety and health 

protection technologies, used in 

underground coal mines. 

The MINER Act of 2006 assigned the 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH) the 

responsibility to enhance development 

of new mine safety and health 

protection technology and technological 

applications and to expedite the 

commercial availability and 

implementation of such technology. As 

part of this study, NIOSH seeks to 

identify the barriers to commercial 

availability and implementation of such 

technology in U.S. mines. 

Experience to date has shown that 

there are many issues that the U.S.

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 190 / Tuesday, October 3, 2017 / Notices 46061 

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.
