(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Studies have reported that law
enforcement officers have high rates of
non-fatal injuries and illnesses as
compared to the general worker
population. As law enforcement officers
undertake many critical public safety
activities and are tasked with protecting
the safety and health of the public, it
follows that understanding and
preventing injuries among law
enforcement officers will have a benefit
reaching beyond the workers to the
general public.
As mandated in the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L.
91–596), the mission of NIOSH is to
conduct research and investigations on
occupational safety and health. Related
to this mission, the purpose of this
project is to conduct research that will
provide a detailed description of nonfatal occupational injuries incurred by
law enforcement officers. This
information will offer detailed insight
into events that lead to the largest
number of nonfatal injuries among law
enforcement officers. The project will
use two related data sources. The first
source is data abstracted from medical
records of law enforcement officers
treated in a nationally stratified sample

of emergency departments. These data
are routinely collected through the
occupational supplement to the
National Electronic Injury Surveillance
System (NEISS-Work). The second data
source, for which NIOSH is seeking
OMB approval for three years, is
responses to telephone interview
surveys of the injured and exposed law
enforcement officers identified within
NEISS-Work.
The proposed telephone interview
surveys will supplement NEISS-Work
data with an extensive description of
law enforcement officer injuries and
exposures, including worker
characteristics, injury types, injury
circumstances, and injury outcomes.
Previous reports describing
occupational injuries to law
enforcement officers provide limited
details on specific regions or subsegments of the population. As
compared to these earlier studies, the
scope of the telephone interview data
will be broader as it includes sampled
cases nationwide. Results from the
telephone interviews will be weighted
and reported as national estimates.
The sample size for the telephone
interview survey is estimated to be
approximately 300 law enforcement
officers annually for the proposed three
year duration of the study. This is based
on the number of law enforcement

officers identified in previous years of
NEISS-Work data and a 30% response
rate that is comparable to the rate of
previously conducted National
Electronic Injury Surveillance System
telephone interview studies. Each
telephone interview will take
approximately 30 minutes to complete,
resulting in an annualized burden
estimate of 150 hours. Using the routine
NEISS-Work data, an analysis of all
identified EMS workers will be
performed to determine if there are
differences between the telephone
interview responder and non-responder
groups.
The Division of Safety Research (DSR)
within NIOSH is conducting this
project. DSR has a strong interest in
improving surveillance of law
enforcement officer injuries to provide
the information necessary for effectively
targeting and implementing prevention
efforts and, consequently, reducing
occupational injuries to law
enforcement officers. The Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) will
also contribute to this project, as they
are responsible for coordinating the
collection of all NEISS-Work data and
for overseeing the collection of all
telephone interview data. Annual
Burden Hours are estimated to be 150.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on a
proposed information collection project
titled ‘‘Sudden Death in the Young
(SDY) Case Registry’’. The goal of the
SDY Case Registry is to compile
standardized data on sudden and
unexpected deaths among infants,
children, and young adults, which are
not explained by homicides, suicides,
overdoses, or the result of an external
cause that was the only and obvious
reason for the fatal injury, or terminal
illnesses.

ADDRESSES:

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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke at the National
Institutes of Health implemented the
SDY Case Registry in 2015.
Standardized data collected through the
SDY Case Registry has been used by the
NIH and CDC awardees to generate
estimates of the incidence of SDY; to
elucidate risk factors; and to develop
evidence-based prevention strategies for
SDY. The SDY Registry also creates
infrastructure for future research about
previously unknown or unrecognized
risk factors for, and causes of, these
deaths.
This information collection request is
to continue the SDY Registry. By
continuing the prior work of the SDY
Registry, the information collected
under this request will allow CDC to
provide technical assistance to awardees
so they can improve their jurisdiction’s
information on SDY. This includes two
additions to their routine Child Death
Review (CDR) program: (1) Entering
SDY information from existing data
sources (e.g., medical records, autopsy
reports) used during CDR review into
the established web-based NCFRP Case
Reporting System; and (2) convening
clinicians with three different types of
expertise (pediatric cardiology; pediatric
neurology or epileptology; and forensic
pathology) to conduct advanced clinical
reviews of a subset of SDY cases to
allow for a more thorough review of
information compiled and to generate
additional data about the classification
of the death. The intended result will be
data that can establish incidence and
guide program and policy decisions at
the state/jurisdiction and local levels.
CDC estimates that the participating
states/jurisdictions will collect data on
approximately 739 SDY cases per year.
For participating states/jurisdictions,
burden is estimated for reporting
required case information. Based on
historical program information, it is
estimated that approximately half (370)
of the 739 estimated SDY cases each
year will undergo an advanced clinical
review and classification of cause by a
team of three medical experts.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. The total estimated annual
burden is 521 hours. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.

whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project

Registry—Revision—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP) Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) is
defined as a sudden and unexpected
death among an infant, child, or young
adults (up to age 20), which is not
explained by homicide, suicide,
overdose, or the result of an external
cause that was the only and obvious
reason for the fatal injury, or terminal
illnesses. Injury deaths where there may
have been an initiating natural cause
(e.g., drowning or death of the driver in
a motor vehicle accident, which may
have been triggered by an underlying
cardiac or neurological condition) are
also included in the definition.
SDY deaths are not systematically
monitored and estimates of the annual
incidence of SDY vary due to
differences in definitions,
inconsistencies in classifying cause,
variable age and study populations, and
differing case ascertainment
methodologies. Because standardized
information has not been collected on
the incidence, causes, and risk factors,
developing evidence-based prevention
measures has been challenging.
To address these gaps, CDC, in
collaboration with the National Heart,
Lung, and Blood Institute and the

Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Since 2010, the National Quitline
Data Warehouse (NQDW) has collected
a core set of information from the 50
U.S. states, the District of Columbia,
Guam, and Puerto Rico regarding what
services telephone quitlines offer to
tobacco users as well as the number and
type of tobacco users who receive
services from telephone quitlines. The
data collection was modified in 2015 to
collect data from the The Asian
Smokers’ Quitline (ASQ) in addition to
the other 53 states/territories that
provide data, and included five new
questions to the NQDW Intake
Questionnaire to help CDC and states
tailor quitline services to the needs of its
callers.
The NQDW provides data on the
general smoking population who
contact their state quitlines, but also
allows for collections of information
about key subgroups of tobacco users
who contact state quitlines to better
support cessation services. Data is
collected on tobacco users who received
service from state telephone quitlines
from all funded U.S. states, territories
and the Asian Smokers’ Quitline (ASQ)
through the NQDW Intake
Questionnaire. The NQDW SevenMonth Follow-up Questionnaire will be
administered to tobacco users who
received services from the ASQ only,
