used. The interview and survey
questions are specific to each workplace
and its suspected diseases and hazards,
however, items are derived from
standard medical and epidemiologic
techniques. The request forms take an
estimated 12 minutes to complete. The
interview forms take 15–30 minutes to
complete. An example of an interview
and an HHE specific questionnaire used
for two separate completed HHEs are
included in the proposed data collection
package.
NIOSH distributes interim and final
reports of health hazard evaluations,
excluding personal identifiers, to:
Requesters, employers, employee
representatives; the Department of Labor
(Occupational Safety and Health
Administration or Mine Safety and
Health Administration, as appropriate);
and, as needed, other state and Federal
agencies.

requester receives a follow-back
questionnaire 12 months after our
response and a second one 24 months
after our response. The first
questionnaire takes about 10 minutes to
complete and the second questionnaire
takes about 15 minutes to complete.
Because of the large number of
investigations conducted each year, the
need to respond quickly to requests for
assistance, the diverse and
unpredictable nature of these
investigations, and its follow-back
program to assess evaluation
effectiveness; NIOSH requests an
umbrella clearance for data collections
performed within the domain of its
health hazard evaluation program.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

NIOSH administers a follow-back
program to assess the effectiveness of its
health hazard evaluation program in
reducing workplace hazards. This
program entails the mailing of followback questionnaires to employer and
employee representatives at all the
workplaces where NIOSH conducted
site visits. In a small number of
instances, a follow-back on-site
evaluation may be conducted. The
initial follow-back questionnaire is
administrated immediately following
the site visits and takes about 15
minutes. Another follow-back
questionnaire is sent a year later and
requires about 15 minutes to complete.
At 24 months, a final follow-back
questionnaire regarding the completed
evaluation is sent which takes about 15
minutes to complete.
For requests where NIOSH does not
conduct an onsite evaluation, the

Proposed Project
Validation of an Occupational Safety
and Health Questionnaire—New—
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The mission of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is to promote safety and health
at work for all people through research
and prevention. Under Public Law 91–
596, Section 20 and 22 (section 20–22,
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970), NIOSH has the responsibility to
conduct research to advance the health
and safety of workers. In this capacity,
NIOSH will administer a questionnaire
designed to assess differences in
approaches to and perspectives of
workplace safety between Americanborn and Latino immigrant workers.
The rapid growth of the Latino
immigrant population in the United
States has increased the demand for
Spanish-language occupational safety
and health training materials. Typically,
this need has been met by translating
existing, English-language training
materials into Spanish rather than
developing new materials specifically
designed for Latino immigrants. Critics
suggest that such efforts frequently fall
short of the mark because of poor
translations and a failure to address the
cultural, legal, educational and socioeconomic realities that differentiate
Latino immigrant workers from the
American-born workers for whom the
training materials were originally
developed. The failure of current

large Latino population and 300 workers
will be from Ohio, a state that has only
recently experienced a large increase in
its Latino population. The sample sizes
are not based upon power analyses
comparing expected group differences.
Rather, the sample sizes are based upon
recommendations related to validation
of questionnaires, both on the basis of
individual items and the analysis of the
underlying structure elements.
Participants for this data collection
will be recruited with the assistance of
contractors who have successfully
performed similar tasks for NIOSH in
the past. The Latino immigrants will be
assessed first so that an American-born
workers sample can be recruited that
can be matched in terms of occupation
and industry. Depending upon literacy
level and/or individual preferences, the
questionnaire will be administered
verbally or in ‘‘paper and pencil’’ format
to participants in either English or
Spanish. Based upon previous
experiences working with these
populations, it is estimated that each
questionnaire will take approximately
75 minutes complete
The purpose of this information
collection is to validate a questionnaire
assessing factors that are thought to
contribute to the persistent occupational
health disparities experienced by Latino
immigrant workers. Once validated, this
questionnaire can be used in other
efforts to assess the impact of
occupational safety and health
interventions aimed at the Latino
immigrant community. Without the
benefit of this data, NIOSH will be
unable to assess variables related to the
occupational health disparities
experienced by Latino immigrants or to
assess the impact of occupational safety
and health training interventions
targeted at this group.
Once this study is complete, results
will be made available via various
means including print publications and
the agency internet site. NIOSH expects
to complete data collection no later than
March 2012. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.

occupational safety and health training
approaches with Latino immigrants is
highlighted by data from Bureau of
Labor Statistics indicating that
significant occupational health
disparities exist between Latino
immigrant workers and American-born
workers.
A major obstacle to designing and
assessing the impact of occupational
safety and health training interventions
with Latino immigrants is the lack of a
rigorously validated questionnaire
addressing the issues believed to be
contributing to the occupational health
disparities experienced by this group. In
order to better understand some of the
factors that may be contributing to the
persistent occupational health
disparities between Latino immigrant
and American-born workers, NIOSH is
developing a questionnaire that focuses
on important occupational safety and
health issues such as risk perception,
risk acceptance, and workplace coping
strategies. The content of this
questionnaire was guided, in part, by
data collected from focus groups
conducted with both Latino immigrants
and American-born workers.
Additionally, a review of the existing
literature and feedback from experts in
the field of occupational health
disparities contributed to questionnaire
content.
For validation purposes, this
questionnaire will be administered to a
sample of approximately 600 workers
employed in a broad range of industries.
In order to account for differences in
level of acculturation, 200 of the
workers will be Latino immigrants who
have been in the United States less than
2 years and 200 of the workers will be
Latino immigrants who have been in the
United States more than 5 years. An
additional 200 American-born workers
will be given the questionnaire so that
their responses may be contrasted with
those of the Latino immigrants. Half of
the workers will be male and the other
half female. In order to account for
potential regional differences, 300 of the
workers will be from New Mexico, a
state that has historically always had a

In
compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA
has submitted the following proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Customer/Partner Service Surveys
(OMB Control Number 0910–0360)–
Extension
Under section 903 of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
393), FDA is authorized to conduct
research and public information
programs about regulated products and
responsibilities of the agency. Executive
Order 12862, entitled, ‘‘Setting
Customer Service Standard,’’ directs
Federal agencies that ‘‘provide
significant services directly to the
public’’ to ‘‘survey customers to
determine the kind and quality of
services they want and their level of
satisfaction with existing services.’’ FDA
is seeking OMB clearance to conduct a

series of surveys to implement
Executive Order 12862. Participation in
the surveys is voluntary. This request
covers customer/partner service surveys
of regulated entities, such as food
processors; cosmetic drug, biologic and
medical device manufacturers;
consumers; and health professionals.
The request also covers ‘‘partner’’ (State
and local governments) customer
service surveys.
FDA will use the information from
these surveys to identify strengths and
weaknesses in service to customers/
partners and to make improvements.
The surveys will measure timeliness,
appropriateness and accuracy of
information, courtesy and problem
resolution in the context of individual
programs.
FDA estimates conducting 15
customer/partner service surveys per
year, each requiring an average of 15
minutes for review and completion. We
estimate respondents to these surveys to
be between 100 and 10,000 customers.
Some of these surveys will be repeats of
earlier surveys for purposes of
monitoring customer/partner service
and developing long-term data.
In the Federal Register of January 13,
2011 (76 FR 2395), FDA published a 60day notice requesting public comment
on the proposed collection of
information. No comments were
received on the information collection.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:
