Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    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 [email protected]. 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

    Occupational Safety and Health Program Elements in the Wholesale 
Retail Trade Sector--Extension--National Institute for Occupational 
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    For the current study, the National Institute for Occupational 
Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation 
(OBWC) have been collaborating to examine the association between 
survey-assessed Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) program elements 
(organizational policies, procedures, practices) and workers 
compensation (WC) injury/illness outcomes in a stratified sample of 
OBWC-insured wholesale/retail trade (WRT) firms. Crucial OSH program 
elements with particularly high impact on WC losses will be identified 
in this study and disseminated to the WRT sector.
    There are expected to be up to 4,404 participants per year. Surveys 
are being administered twice to the same firms in successive years 
(e.g. from January-December 2014 and again from January-December 2015). 
An individual responsible for the OSH program at each firm is being 
asked to complete a survey that includes a background section related 
to respondent and company demographics and a main section where 
individuals are being asked to evaluate organizational metrics related 
to their firm's OSH program. The firm-level survey data will be linked 
to five years of retrospective injury and illness WC claims data and 
two years of prospective injury and illness WC claims data from OBWC to 
determine which organizational metrics are related to firm-level injury 
and illness WC claim rates. A nested study is asking multiple 
respondents at a subset of 60 firms to participate by completing 
surveys. A five-minute interview will be conducted with a 10% sample of 
non-responders (up to 792 individuals).
    In order to maximize efficiency and reduce burden, a Web-based 
survey is proposed for the majority (95%) of survey data collection. 
Collected information will be used to determine whether a significant 
relationship exists between self-reported firm OSH elements and firm WC 
outcomes while controlling for covariates. Once the study is completed, 
benchmarking reports about OSH elements that have the highest impact on 
WC losses in the WRT sector will be made available through the NIOSH-
OBWC Internet sites and peer-reviewed publications.
    In summary, this study will determine the effectiveness of OSH 
program elements in the WRT sector and enable evidence-based prevention 
practices to be shared with the greatest audience possible. NIOSH 
expects to complete data collection in 2018. There is no cost to 
respondents other than their time.
