Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: We are requesting an increase of 1,083 burden hours for this approval period due to the increase in the number of participating miners. The form changes are explained below: Miner Identification Document. Form No. CDC/NIOSH (M) 2.9, Rev. 07/07 Two minor changes have been made to the document as part of this renewal process. First, we have added boxes to indicate exactly which medical screening the miner completed (analog x-ray, digital x-ray, and/or spirometry). This section will be completed by the coordinator during medical screening in the NIOSH Mobile Health Screening Unit. It will aid in the final processing of the medical tests and in determining what medical results the miner is to receive. The second change pertains to the back of the form where the example of USA Mine was given under the Mine Name column. Many miners were answering yes, indicating that the mine where they were employed was indeed a USA Mine. What we need in that column is the name of the mine or the name of the mining company. That has been changed for clarification purposes. Neither of these changes will result in an increase in burden time for completion of the form. Interpreting Physician Certification Document Form No. CDC/NIOSH (M) 2.12, Rev. 07/07 Records information on physician qualifications - (Attachment 7). Several changes have been made to this form. Fields at the bottom that are no longer needed have been removed. When selecting new B Readers for interpreting x-rays in the CWHSP, part of the criteria involves whether the B Reader holds an academic appointment. In the past, this has been ascertained via a telephone call. A section has now been added to the form for this inquiry.
