Approved for 6
months as an emergency collection. In the future, CDC is expected
to determine the need for OMB approval early in the study
development phase and provide time for full OMB review. This
approval is for a follow-back survey on workplace violence using
data on work-related injuries collected under the CPSC NEISS
mechanism. CDC has sponsored collection of this data for several
years without OMB approval, which is a violation of the Paperwork
Reduction Act. CDC is responsible for obtaining OMB approval for
the collection of this information, either through a revision of
the existing CPSC approval or through a separate CDC information
collection request.
