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 Adoption and Implementation of
the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH)
Outputs'' 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 June 28,
2024, to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC
received two non-substantive 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 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 under 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
rather 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 (OMB) 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 17,150 total burden hours with an estimated annual
burden of 6,069 hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their
time to participate.
