the ABC, FoodNet, and Influenza
portions of the EIP.
Activities of the EIPs fall into the
following general categories: (1) Active
surveillance; (2) applied public health
epidemiologic and laboratory activities;
(3) implementation and evaluation of
pilot prevention/intervention projects;
and (4) flexible response to public
health emergencies.
Activities of the EIPs are designed to:
(1) Address issues that the EIP network

is particularly suited to investigate; (2)
maintain sufficient flexibility for
emergency response and new problems
as they arise; (3) develop and evaluate
public health interventions to inform
public health policy and treatment
guidelines; (4) incorporate training as a
key function; and (5) prioritize projects
that lead directly to the prevention of
disease. Proposed respondents will
include state health departments who
may collaborate with one or more of the

following: academic institutions, local
health departments, public health and
clinical laboratories, infection control
professionals, and healthcare providers.
Frequency of reporting will be
determined as cases arise.
The addition of HAIC to the EIP
increases the total estimated burden by
10,300 hours to 22, 755 hours. There is
no cost to respondents other than their
time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Proposed Project
Evaluating the Effectiveness of
Occupational Safety and Health
Program Elements in the Wholesale
Retail Trade Sector OMB No. 0920–
0949, expires 10/31/2015)—Extension—
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, sections 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 proposes to conduct a study to
assess the effectiveness of occupational
safety and health (OSH) program
elements in the wholesale/retail trade
(WRT) sector. An extension is being
requested in order to allow for
additional time to complete the study.
Data has already been collected for the
first year of the study. Additional time
is being requested in order to collect the
remaining data for the second and third
year.
Liberty Mutual has estimated direct
workers compensation costs to industry

in the United States in 2009 to be $50
billion. The WRT industry sector
employs over 21 million workers or
19% of the workforce in private
industry. In 2007, the majority of nonfatal injuries and illnesses involving
days away from work in the WRT sector
involved musculoskeletal disorders
(MSDs, 29%) or slip/trip/falls (STFs,
22%). For this reason, major strategic
NIOSH goals in the WRT sector are to
reduce MSDs, STFs and other injuries/
illnesses in part by assessing the
effectiveness of occupational safety and
health (OSH) programs designed to
prevent these outcomes. There is some
evidence that OSH prevention programs
built on key elements (management
leadership, employee participation,
hazard identification and control,
medical management, training, and
program evaluation) reduce losses.
However, little evidence exists on the
relative effectiveness of program
elements compared to each other. There
is a need for research to develop reliable
OSH program metrics and determine
which elements have the greatest impact
on injuries, illnesses and work
disability. A renewed partnership
between NIOSH and the Ohio Bureau of
Workers Compensation (OBWC) a
timely opportunity to conduct such
research in a relevant and efficient
manner.
A collaborative study involving
NIOSH and the OBWC will examine the
association between survey-assessed
OSH program elements (organizational
policies, procedures, practices) and
workers compensation (WC) injury/
illness outcomes in a stratified sample
of OBWC-insured wholesale/retail trade
(WRT) firms. Crucial OSH program
elements with particularly high impact
on WC losses will be identified in this
study and disseminated to the WRT
sector. This study will provide
important information that is not
currently available elsewhere on the
effectiveness of OSH programs for the
WRT sector. This project fits the
mission of CDC–NIOSH to conduct
scientific intervention effectiveness
research to support the evidenced based
prevention of occupational injuries and
illnesses.
For this study, the target population
includes United States WRT firms
(North American Industry Classification
System codes 42, 44, 45, 45). The
sampling frame includes OBWC-insured
WRT firms in Ohio. The study sample
includes OBWC-insured WRT firms
who volunteer to participate in the
OBWC–NIOSH research project.
The proposed research involves a
firm-level survey of a series of
organizational metrics considered to be

potential predictors of injury and illness
WC claim rates and duration in a
stratified sample of OBWC-insured WRT
firms in Ohio. There are expected to be
up to 4,404 participants per year;
surveys will administered twice to the
same firms in successive years (e.g. from
January–December 2014 and again from
January–December 2015).
An individual responsible for the
OSH program at each firm will be asked
to complete survey that include a
background section related to
respondent and company demographics
and a main section where individuals
will be asked to evaluate organizational
metrics related to their firm’s OSH
program. The firm-level survey data will

whether a significant relationship exists
between self-reported firm OSH
elements and firm WC outcomes while
controlling for covariates. Once the
study is completed, benchmarking
reports about OSH elements that have
the highest impact on WC losses in the
WRT sector will be made available
through the NIOSH–OBWC internet
sites and peer-reviewed publications.
In summary, this study will determine
the effectiveness of OSH program
elements in the WRT sector and enable
evidence-based prevention practices to
be shared with the greatest audience
possible. NIOSH expects to complete
data collection in 2015. There is no cost
to respondents other than their time.

be linked to five years of retrospective
injury and illness WC claims data and
two years of prospective injury and
illness WC claims data from OBWC to
determine which organizational metrics
are related to firm-level injury and
illness WC claim rates. A nested study
will ask multiple respondents at a
subset of 60 firms to participate by
completing surveys. A five-minute
interview will be conducted with a 10%
sample of non-responders (up to 792
individuals).
In order to maximize efficiency and
reduce burden, a web-based survey is
proposed for the majority (95%) of
survey data collection. Collected
information will be used to determine
