nation-wide sample of students
attending public schools in grades 6–12.
Participating students will complete the
survey in person in a classroom setting
using a tablet provided by CDC’s
information collection contractor. The
tablet will be distributed at the
beginning of the class session and
returned at the end of the class session.
This is similar to administration of the
PAP NYTS, in which a paper
questionnaire booklet is distributed to
students at the beginning of a class
session, completed, and returned at the
end of the session.
The content of the 2017 pilot survey
will mirror the paper-based survey. The
questions, developed in cooperation

Results will also be used to help
evaluate the impact of automated
collection techniques and computerbased survey administration on
response burden. After data collection,
the computer-based data will be
compared to the paper-based data to
determine which method provides the
most validity and reliability.
OMB approval will be requested for
one year. There are no changes in the
estimated burden per response for any
type of respondent compared to the
paper version. Participation is voluntary
and there are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The estimated
annualized burden hours for this data
collection are 3,689 hours.

with the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), examine the following topics:
Use of cigarettes, smokeless tobacco,
cigars, pipes, bidis, snus, hookahs,
electronic vapor products, and
dissolvable tobacco products;
knowledge and attitudes; media and
advertising; access to tobacco products;
secondhand smoke exposure; and
cessation. In addition, specific questions
will be included in the pilot survey to
better understand respondents’ feelings
about safety and security around
utilizing a computer based survey.
Findings from the NYTS pilot will be
used to assess the feasibility of
conducting the computer-based NYTS
compared to the paper-based survey.

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

community centers in oilfield towns. A
screening questionnaire, ‘‘Module 1:
Screening’’ will be administered to 313
workers per year (for 2 years) to
determine that the worker is eligible for
the survey. This questionnaire will take
about 5 minutes. NIOSH anticipates that
up to 63 workers per year (20% of
screened workers) will be eligible but
not interested in participating in this
study. These workers will be asked to
complete a brief, 6-question ‘‘NonRespondent Questionnaire’’, which will
take about 5 minutes. Approximately
250 workers per year (for 2 years) will
be eligible and agree to participate in
the study (80% response rate). These
workers will complete ‘‘Module 2:
General,’’ ‘‘Module 3: Well-site work,’’
and ‘‘Module 5: Closing Questions’’
(approximately 225 workers will use the
tablet version and 25 will opt to use the
hardcopy version). ‘‘Module 5: Closing
Questions’’ includes a brief interview
with program staff. The questionnaire
and interview will take approximately
25 minutes to complete for workers
using the tablet as well as for those
using the hardcopy version. Workers
who drive a company vehicle will also
be asked to complete ‘‘Module 4: Motor
Vehicle.’’ An estimated 75% of the
workers will complete the driving
portion of the survey (187 workers).
This module will take approximately 5
additional minutes to complete for those
using the tablet (approximately 168
workers per year)as well as 5 minutes
for those completing the hardcopy
version (19 workers per year).
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be reviewed and
addressed prior to OMB application
submission. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
estimated annualized burden hours for
this data collection are 154 hours.

(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. The Occupational
Safety and Health Act, 91 (section 20[a]
[1]), authorizes NIOSH to conduct
research to advance the health and
safety of workers. NIOSH is proposing a
two year study to conduct a survey
questionnaire of 500 land-based oil and
gas (O&G) extraction workers in 5 U.S.
states (Texas, North Dakota, Colorado,
Oklahoma and a state in the
Appalachian Basin) to examine safety
and health issues and concerns of this
workforce. Workers who drive as a part
of their work duties will be asked to
complete an additional set of questions
about their driving environment and
behaviors. We expect a response rate of
80%, so it is estimated that we will
approach 625 workers in order to have
500 workers complete the survey.
The goals of this study are (1) To
determine on-duty and off-duty factors
that contribute to motor vehicle crashes,
injuries and illness among U.S. landbased O&G extraction workers and (2)
To identify other safety and health
needs and concerns of U.S. land-based
O&G extraction workers, a largely nonunionized workforce. The results of this
study will guide the development of
evidence-based and priority
interventions and future research in the
O&G extraction industry that will
improve the safety and health of O&G
workers.
Administration of the survey
questionnaire will occur at temporary
modular lodging facilities (‘man
camps’), training centers, equipment/
trucking yards, well sites, and

Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global
Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ),
requests approval of a new information
collection to identify social distancing
strategies to reduce person-to-person
contact among students and staff in
K–12 schools that are implementable
without causing major detrimental
effects to ongoing education activities.
CDC is requesting a one-year approval to
collect information.
The information collection for which
approval is sought is in accordance with
DGMQ/CDC’s mission to reduce
morbidity and mortality in mobile
populations, and to prevent the
introduction, transmission, or spread of
communicable diseases within the
United States. Insights gained from this
information collection will assist in the
planning and implementation of CDC
Pre-Pandemic Community Mitigation
Guidance on the use of school-based
measures to slow transmission during
an influenza pandemic.
School-aged children are often the
main introducers and an important
transmission source of influenza and
other respiratory viruses in their
families, and school-based outbreaks
frequently pre-date wide-spread
influenza transmission in the
surrounding communities. Therefore,
infection control measures undertaken
to reduce virus transmission among
children at schools may also help
prevent or postpone influenza outbreaks
in communities. In respiratory
transmission of influenza, proximity to
the person with influenza plays a
significant role. Strategies that increase
physical distance between students and/
or reduce the duration of person to
person contact in school settings may,
theoretically, be effective in slowing
influenza transmission. There have been
no evaluations to date of feasibility of
implementing social distancing
measures other than school closures.
Therefore, there is a need to research
