SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On February 5, 2019, NIOSH published a request for public review in the
Federal Register
[84 FR 1736] of the draft version of the
National Occupational Research Agenda for Hearing Loss Prevention.
NIOSH received three comments, which were reviewed and addressed where appropriate. In the final document, an additional research need was added, to perform targeted surveillance of worker hearing, cardiovascular health, mental health, and related health outcomes within worker populations with limited available research, such as workers in small construction firms, landscaping companies, restaurants, bars, sports arenas and complexes, music venues, and within public service. A response to
Public Comment document can be found in the Supporting Documents section on
