records, chart reviews, or other sources,
and review the methodology used to
calculate the reported hypertension
control rate. CDC conducts data
verification to ensure that all nominees
meet eligibility criteria and calculate
their reported hypertension control rate
according to a standardized method.
In the third phase of the assessment,
each remaining finalist will participate
in a two-hour, semi-structured interview
and provide detailed information about
the patient population served, the
geographic region served, and the
strategies employed by the practice or
health system to achieve exemplary
rates of hypertension control, including
barriers and facilitators for those
strategies.
Based on experience with
administration of the Challenge in
previous years, CDC plans to eliminate

the cash prize awarded to Champions in
previous years, and to implement minor
changes to the nomination form and the
data verification form that will improve
usability and data quality. There are no
changes to the estimated burden per
response. Finally, CDC anticipates an
overall reduction in burden due to a
reduction in the estimated number of
nominees. During the period of this
Reinstatement request, on an annual
basis, CDC estimates that information
will be collected from up to 500
nominees using the nomination form, at
most 40 data verifications, and at most
40 semi-structured interviews.
CDC will use the information
collected through the Million Hearts®
Hypertension Control Challenge to
increase widespread attention to
hypertension at the clinical practice
level, improve understanding of

successful and sustainable
implementation strategies at the practice
or health system level, bring visibility to
organizations that invest in
hypertension control, and motivate
individual practices to strengthen their
hypertension control efforts.
Information collected through the
Million Hearts® Hypertension Control
Challenge will link success in clinical
outcomes of hypertension control with
information about procedures that can
be used to achieve similar favorable
outcomes so that the strategies can be
replicated by other providers and health
care systems.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
370.

Background and Brief Description
As mandated in the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L.
91–596), the mission of the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) is to conduct research
and investigations on work-related
disease and injury and to disseminate
information for preventing identified
workplace hazards (Sections 20(a)(1)
and (d), Attachment 1). NIOSH is
proposing a two-year study to collect
stakeholder feedback on the
effectiveness of NIOSH products and
their dissemination. This dual
responsibility recognizes the need to
translate research into workplace
application if it is to impact worker
safety and well-being.

NIOSH, through its communication
efforts, seeks to promote greater
awareness of occupational hazards and
their control, influence public policy
and regulatory action, shape national
research priorities, change
organizational practices and individual
behavior, and ultimately, improve
American working life. NIOSH’s
primary communication vehicle is its
series of numbered publications
catalogued by the Institute as Policy
Documents, Technical Documents, and
Educational Documents.
The aforementioned types of
documents are available to the public
through the use of mailing lists, NIOSH
eNews, the NIOSH Web site, promotion
at conferences, and by other means. In
Fiscal Year 2015, combined digital
downloads and hard copy distributions
of NIOSH publications registered at over
790,000. Yet, these numbers tell little of
whether the reports are reaching all of
the appropriate audiences, or whether
the information is perceived as credible
and useful by the recipients. Therefore,
a Customer Satisfaction Survey (CSS)
was conducted in 2003 and a follow-up
CSS in 2010 to assess customer
satisfaction and perceived impact of
NIOSH publications.
The proposed survey seeks to update
the data collected for the 2010 survey
(OMB Control No. 0920–0544) and
gather data on outreach initiatives
NIOSH has undertaken in recent years.
The findings reported in 2010
confirmed that NIOSH continues to be
a credible source of occupational safety
and health information, NIOSH
publications were being used more
frequently than in previous years, and
respondents are relying more on the
NIOSH Web site and other electronic
resources. With regard to having read or
referred to a NIOSH product or resource
in the past, 82% of the total respondents
said they had, and responses grouped by
organization—AAOHN (80%), ACOEM
(71%), AIHA (90%), and ASSE (85%)—
also show an increase. However, the
2010 CSS also revealed that the
percentage of respondents who looked
to NIOSH for OSH information dropped
from 84% in 2003 to 76% in 2009
(when the 2010 survey data were
collected).
Results from the 2010 CSS suggest
that NIOSH needs to partner more with
stakeholder associations to assess the
needs of those in the OSH community
who are not using NIOSH resources.
Since then, NIOSH has established a
partner database, which documents the
private companies, professional
associations, and labor unions listed as
partners on various projects. Another
recommendation is that NIOSH develop

PO 00000

Frm 00033

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

strategies to increase awareness of
electronic resources and newsletters.
NIOSH has since established additional
notifications, such as the monthly
Research Rounds (http://www.cdc.gov/
niosh/research-rounds/) that highlights
research conducted at NIOSH. There
also is the NIOSH Science Blog (http://
blogs.cdc.gov/niosh-science-blog/) with
articles on NIOSH research, products,
and timely topics of interest to workers,
employers, and other stakeholders. The
NIOSH Web site also has expanded its
offerings of video and multimedia
products.
The third recommendation from the
2010 survey was that NIOSH develop a
broader range of tools that have direct
application and provide clearer
guidance on policy. In addition to being
offered as a downloadable PDF
document, the Pocket Guide to
Chemical Hazards, NIOSH’s most
popular product, is being offered as a
mobile app as well as a PDF document,
both of which can be downloaded from
the NIOSH Web site (http://
www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/). As a larger
strategy that addresses the
aforementioned recommendations,
NIOSH launched a 5-year Web Plan that
considers the direction of the Institute’s
work and reviews the history of the
NIOSH Web. The plan identifies five
key Web challenges NIOSH will
experience in 2015–2019: Adapting web
content for mobile web delivery,
preparing for growth of digital products
and dissemination, sustainability of new
digital products, developing a future
strategy for new communication
products and technology, and
addressing projected staffing needs.
Various goals have been identified as
critical to maintaining NIOSH Web
effectiveness in the next five years.
The currently proposed Customer
Satisfaction and Impact (CSI) Survey, is
an effort by the agency to obtain current
estimates of consumer use/benefit from
NIOSH communication products as a
whole, as well as to determine the
adequacy of the agency’s circulation/
delivery practices in light of changing
distribution approaches and
technologies. The CSI will account for
changes in NIOSH publications, digital
product formats, and new dissemination
channels emerging since survey data
were last collected. The CSI will also
solicit more audience-based information
that reflects the new media environment
in which many NIOSH publications are
offered. Such expansions will yield
findings that show how well customer
service practices at NIOSH have
followed the 2003 and 2010
recommendations, as well as provide
insights into how users seek and use

19SEN1

64159

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 181 / Monday, September 19, 2016 / Notices
NIOSH information in the current
digital environment.
The survey will be directed to the
community of occupational safety and
health (OSH) professionals as well as
business and trade association
intermediaries as this audience
represents the primary and traditional
customer base for NIOSH information

materials. Intermediaries use their
connections to small businesses and
other organizations to disseminate
information to stakeholders who might
not otherwise receive it. Intermediaries
include occupational health service
providers, labor organizations, chambers
of commerce, and insurance companies.

NIOSH estimates that it will take 315
total burden hours to complete
information collections, compared to
204 burden hours estimated for the 2010
CSS. There are no costs to the
respondents other than their time.
