Recommendations
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:

The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
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 Stakeholder Interviews for the
Evaluation of the World Trade Center
Health Program (WTCHP) for Impact
Assessment and Strategic Planning for
Translational Research. This project will
hold a series of semi-structured
interviews with members of different
stakeholder groups to explore their
perspectives on the translational
research mission of the WTCHP,
including the use of research to improve
care for members and impact on key
program outcomes.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before June 7, 2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2019–
0027 by any of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal:

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 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
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.

and Strategic Planning for Translational
Research—New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The World Trade Center Health
Program (WTCHP) was established by
the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and
Compensation Act of 2010, Public Law
111–347 (hereafter referred to as ‘‘the
Zadroga Act’’). Under subtitle C, the
Zadroga Act requires the establishment
of a research program on health
conditions resulting from the 9/11
terrorist attacks. The Research-to-Care
(RTC) model is the strategic framework
employed by the WTCHP to prioritize,
conduct, and assess research that
informs excellence in clinical care for
the population of responders and
survivors affected by the 9/11 attack in
New York City.
The RTC model assumes the
collective involvement of WTCHP
stakeholders, including members,
researchers, clinicians, and program
administrators. It accounts for a variety
of inputs that can affect the progress and
impact of WTCHP research. These
inputs include people and organizations
(e.g., program members, providers,
clinical centers of excellence,
extramural researchers, and program
staff), resources (e.g., technology, data
centers, the NYC 9/11 Health Registry)
and regulatory rules (principally the
Zadroga Act). The program supports
activities such as research prioritization,
conduct of research, delivery of medical
care, and iterative assessments of the
translation of research to improvements
in health care services and chronic
disease management. These activities
aim to produce tangible outputs such as
research findings on WTC-related
conditions, healthcare protocols, peerreviewed publications, quality
assessment reports, and member and
provider education products. Finally,
the model anticipates short-,
intermediate-, and long-term
measurement of outcomes and serves as
a communication tool for program
planning and evaluation.
In 2016, NIOSH contracted with the
RAND Corporation to evaluate the
WTCHP RTC model including the
research investments to date and the
effectiveness with which the Program
translates its research to different
stakeholder groups. This work will
ultimately provide guidance for the
WTCHP on strategic directions, as well
as produce knowledge about the
translation of research into improved
outcomes for individuals and
populations exposed to disasters such as

the 9/11 attacks. As a part of this
evaluation, we will hold a series of
interviews with representatives of
different stakeholder groups to explore
their perspectives on translational
research in the context of the WTCHP.
These interviews are necessary to gather
information on the translation of
WTCHP-supported research into better
care for members, the impact of this
research, and stakeholders’ views on
future directions for the program.

review of WTC-related research
conducted in a separate part of this
evaluation, adherence of WTCHPsupported research to key principles of
translational research, and opportunities
for future directions for the WTCHP.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. The total estimated burden is 17
hours. Participation is voluntary, and
there are no costs to the respondent
other than their time.

Interview responses will be
incorporated into RAND’s overall
assessment of the WTCHP program’s
research portfolio and will inform
recommendations for future research
investments and strategic direction. We
will conduct 20 semi-structured, indepth interviews by telephone that will
last approximately 1 hour each.
The interview will address specific
topics including stakeholder views on
key findings from a large systematic
