Recommendations

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice with comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part 
of its continuing efforts to reduce public burden and maximize the 
utility of government information, invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or 
continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed 
information collection plan titled, Survey of Engineered Nanomaterial 
Occupational Safety and Health Practices.

DATES:  Written comments must be received on or before April 11, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2017-
0008 by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments.
     Mail: Leroy A. Richardson, Information Collection Review 
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road

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

[[Page 10361]]

collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we are 
publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described 
below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

Proposed Project

    Survey of Engineered Nanomaterial Occupational Safety and Health 
Practices--New--National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health 
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    As mandated in the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (PL 
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). This dual responsibility recognizes the need to 
translate research into workplace application if it is to impact worker 
safety and well-being.
    Adhering to the mission, NIOSH seeks to collect new information 
through a project tilted ``Survey of Engineered Nanomaterial 
Occupational Safety and Health Practices.'' The goal of this project is 
to assess the relevance and impact of NIOSH's contribution to 
guidelines and risk mitigation practices for safe handling of 
engineered nanomaterials in the workplace. The intended use of this 
data is to inform NIOSH's research agenda to enhance its relevance and 
impact on worker safety and health in the context of engineered 
nanomaterials.
    NIOSH will survey companies who manufacture, distribute, fabricate, 
formulate, use or provide services related to engineered nanomaterials. 
The analysis will describe the survey sample, response rates, and types 
of company by industry and size. Further analysis will focus on 
identifying the types of engineered nanomaterials being used in 
industry and the types of occupational safety and health practices 
being implemented. After analysis, NIOSH will use the information to 
develop a final report. This project will also help evaluate the 
influence of NIOSH products, services, and outputs on industry 
occupational safety and health practices.
    Under this project, NIOSH will conduct the following activities and 
data collections:
    (1) Company Pre-calls. Sampled companies will be contacted to 
identify the person who will complete the survey and to ascertain 
whether or not the company handles engineered nanomaterials.
    (2) Survey. A web-based questionnaire, with a mail option, will be 
administered to companies. The purpose of the survey is to learn 
directly from companies about their use of NIOSH materials and their 
occupational safety and health practices concerning engineered 
nanomaterials.
    A sample of 600 companies will be compiled from lists of industry 
associations, research reports, marketing databases, and web-based 
searches. Of the 600 selected companies we anticipate that 500 will 
complete the survey. The company pre-call is expected to require 5 
minutes to complete. The survey is expected to require 20 minutes to 
complete; including the time it may take respondents to look-up and 
retrieve needed information. The estimated annualized burden hours for 
the respondents' time to participate in this information collection is 
217 hours. There are no costs to the responders other than their time.
