Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted
the following information collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed
information collection is published to obtain comments from the public
and affected agencies.
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are
encouraged. Your comments should address any of the following: (a)
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; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology
and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; (d) 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 submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Written comments and/or
suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice should be
directed to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and
Budget, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Written
comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

Emergency Self Escape for Coal Miners--New--National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).

[[Page 15619]]

Background and Brief Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) mission is
to promote health and quality of life by preventing and controlling
disease, injury, and disability. The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) provides national and world
leadership to prevent work-related illness, injury, disability, and
death by gathering information, conducting scientific research, and
translating knowledge gained into products and services. NIOSH's
mission is critical to the health and safety of every American worker.
The Office of Mine Safety and Health Research (OMSHR), one of the
preeminent mining research laboratories in the world, is focused on
occupational health and safety research for mine workers.
Recent research by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has
called for a detailed, formal task analysis of mine self-escape
(National Research Council, 2013). Such an analysis should identify the
knowledge, skills, abilities, and other attributes (KSAOs) needed by
mine personnel in the event of a mine disaster to successfully complete
an emergency self-escape. This analysis will identify gaps between
worker demands and capabilities, and propose recommendations to either
minimize those gaps or enhance existing systems (e.g., communications,
training, technology).
The purpose of the project is to enhance the ability of miners to
escape from underground coal mines in the event of a fire, explosion,
collapse of the mine structure, or flooding of the area by toxic gas or
water. To escape, miners need to perform a set of tasks that apply
specific knowledge and skills in moving through the mine, avoiding
dangers, and using protective equipment. The project will identify the
tasks, knowledge and skills, procedures, equipment, communications, and
physical requirements of self-escape. The results are expected to lead
to recommendations for improvements to task requirements and
procedures, equipment, training and communication processes.
NIOSH proposes this two-year study to better understand the
requirements of emergency self-escape and to answer the following
questions:
What tasks (and critical tasks) do miners perform during
self-escape?
What knowledge beyond that needed to perform normal,
routine mining tasks do miners require to facilitate successful self-
escape?
What are the cognitive requirements (such as reasoning, or
weighing and deciding among alternatives, recognizing when a course of
action is not producing the intended results) beyond that needed to
perform normal, routine mining tasks?
What other cognitive abilities or other cognitive
competencies are needed?
What gaps exist between what miners are required to do for
self-escape and their capabilities?
How can self-escape be improved by redesigning,
eliminating, or modifying tasks or training, or by altering or
introducing specific technologies/tools?
To answer these questions, we will use a task analysis study design
that utilizes a multiple-method approach, to include (a) review of
available research, (b) interviews and focus group meetings with
participants, and (c) unobtrusive observation (e.g., of drills). During
interviews and focus groups, targeted questions are asked to elicit the
level and type of desired information. This system of collecting
information is ``active'' in that participants are presented stimuli
(e.g., disaster scenarios, worker roles) and asked directly to provide
their perceptions (e.g., of tasks or cognitive requirements needed to
accomplish self-escape in that disaster). Observation checklists have
been developed to capture relevant information during the unobtrusive
naturalistic observations of self-escape drills. These data are then
organized, collated, and re-presented to participants for confirmation
of accuracy. Recommendations are generated based on study findings,
related research and practices, and logical inference.
Participants will be mining personnel drawn from two operating coal
mines, one large and one smaller mine, to represent the variety within
the industry. The data collection schedule (e.g., timing and duration
of interviews and focus groups) will be modified as needed to minimize
disruption to mine operations. Up to 30 miner volunteers will
participate in the study. Minimal time (<5 minutes each) will be spent
in recruitment and obtaining informed consent.
Semi-structured interviews with mine personnel will require 1.5-2
hours of their time depending on the interview. Each of the two focus
groups (the Initial Focus Group and the HTA) will require approximately
12 hours of a participant's time total. However, a given focus group
will be executed in smaller blocks of time to reduce the burden on
participants. Participants in the Initial Focus Group are not required
to participate in the HTA Focus Group.
Observation of drills will occur as part of normal mine operations
and will not result in any additional burden on the respondents.
The total estimated burden hours are 207.
