Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Assessing Adoption and Implementation of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) Outputs. NIOSH proposes using surveys, interviews, and focus groups to improve awareness, understanding, and assess the impact of adoption and implementation practices by users of NIOSH research efforts and products.

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 collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. 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
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Assessing Adoption and Implementation of the National Institute of
Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) Outputs--New--National
Institute of Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), is requesting
approval of a new Generic information collection for a period of three
years for the project titled, Assessing Adoption and Implementation of
the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH)
Outputs.
With the continuation of the Government Performance and Results
Act, and the more recent passage of the Foundations of Evidence-Based
Policy Making Act, there is an increased need for federal agencies to
measure and demonstrate their impact. However, measuring impact is
challenging, especially for organizations that have a science-driven
mission because of the time it takes to move from basic to applied
research. Demonstrating attribution (cause and effect relationships) is
particularly challenging for research organizations. NIOSH research is
often designed to collect implementation and adoption data through
document reviews of NIOSH records, including grantee final reports, and
through interviews with NIOSH researchers (federal employees). While
commonly recognized metrics, these data sources are not comprehensive,
representative, or informative of the adoption and implementation of
NIOSH products and efforts. Further, the design and execution of
research projects has hindered research and program leaders
prioritizing information collections to understand and assess the
adoption and implementation of research efforts and products.
The proposed Generic information collection package would allow
researchers to expeditiously pursue efforts to provide NIOSH with
critical information to inform mission-driven needs. Additionally, the
proposed efforts go beyond simply measuring customer satisfaction and
seek to advance NIOSH's burden, need, and impact framework for future
research while also endeavoring to execute the Office of Management and
Budget's guidance regarding the Foundations of Evidence-Based
Policymaking Act. Respondents are expected to consist of users and
potential users of NIOSH products including subject matter expects,
former NIOSH funding recipients, and intermediary and end users. CDC
requests OMB approval for an estimated 6,069 annual burden hours. There
is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
