Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``Assessing Fatigue and Fatigue Management in
U.S. Onshore Oil and Gas Extraction'' to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a
``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations'' notice on August 21, 2023 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive comments related to
the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days
for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(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. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
Assessing Fatigue and Fatigue Management in U.S. Onshore Oil and
Gas Extraction--New--National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Oil and gas extraction (OGE) workers play an important role in
supporting the United States economy and help fulfill the energy needs
of Americans and American businesses. OGE workers have significant
risks for a variety of exposures at oil and gas well sites. There has
been no significant fatigue research in the United States onshore
upstream OGE sector. This proposed project will characterize
relationships
[[Page 20478]]
between sleep, alertness, fatigue, fatigue management, and related
factors, within the onshore OGE industry.
Primary data will be collected using three approaches. First,
researchers will collect direct measurements of sleep and alertness
among OGE workers. Second, researchers will use questionnaires to
collect information on OGE worker demographics, occupation, general
heath, normal working hours, commute times, physical sleeping
environment, and typical sleep quality. Third, researchers will collect
qualitative information through interviews with workers, front-line
supervisors, health and safety leaders, as well as subject matter
experts, to understand challenges and opportunities related to fatigue
management in OGE. Actigraphy watches will collect data passively and
will not require participant effort except for training and fitting of
the watch.
Data collected will be used to guide the development of targeted
interventions, training, and educational materials. CDC requests OMB
approval for an estimated 404 annual burden hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time to participate.
