may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to

or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and
approval of the information collection listed below.
Proposed Collection: Hazardous Waste Worker Training Grantee Data
Collection--42 CFR part 65, 0925-0348, Expiration Date 07/31/2022
REVISION, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS),
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The NIEHS WTP is authorized
by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA),
Section 126(g) to fund multi-state or national non-profit organizations
with a demonstrated track record in developing and delivering high
quality training to workers who are involved in handling hazardous
waste or in responding to emergency releases of hazardous materials.
The WTP contains the Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP),
the Environmental Career Worker Training Program (ECWTP), the HAZMAT
Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP), and the NIEHS/
Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Worker Training Program to fund
nonprofit organizations to develop and administer model health and
safety training programs for hazardous materials or waste workers.
Respondent organizations are to provide information in accordance with
Sec. 65.4(a), (b), (c) and Sec. 65.6(b) on the nature, duration, and
purpose of the training; selection criteria for trainees'
qualifications; competency of the project director and staff;
cooperative arrangements of the consortia; and the adequacy of training
plans and resources, including budget and response to meeting training
criteria in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA)
Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Regulations (29 CFR
1910.120). The information collected is used by the Director through
officers, employees, experts, and consultants to evaluate applications
based on technical merit to determine whether to make awards, and
whether appropriate training is being conducted to support continuation
of the grant into subsequent years. The information collected the past
three years has been utilized in training summaries containing
information on numbers of workers trained, courses conducted and
contact hours, progress reports, and highlights of accomplishments; to
answer inquiries from Congress, NIH OD, HHS, NIEHS leadership, and
other key leadership; to produce State Profiles and other
communications materials that are requested and used by Congress and
other external parties; to document and disseminate training activities
related to supplemental funding and/or key topics, such as COVID-19,
Opioids, the Disaster Relief Act of 2018, and environmental careers job
training; to update the Curricula Catalog; to start the Material Upload
and Search Tool for Infectious Disease (MUSTID) Resource Portal, an
easy access resource on infectious disease and worker safety shared by
and relevant to the WTP; to complete required reporting on the benefits
and activities under the ECWTP for the White House Justice40 Initiative
with ECWTP being named a pilot program for Justice40; and to monitor
and report on Disaster Preparedness and Response activities. The NIEHS
WTP Curricula Information and Data Management System (DMS), the system
the WTP uses to collect this data from the WTP Grantees, is critical to
the operation of the Program and the ability of the Program to continue
the operations listed above. Without this data, the WTP would be unable
to adequately describe program accomplishments to funders & government
leadership, and unable to adequately monitor grants to ensure goals are
being met. The WTP also funds Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR)
grants, an e-Learning for HAZMAT Program that focuses on the
development of e-Learning health and safety training products from a
variety of delivery methods to assist both students and instructors in
the training and education process. Since 2002 the WTP has funded 85
SBIR grants. The WTP would also like to ascertain the successes of the
SBIR e-Learning program.
OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 785.
