prevention research, and public health
information technology, we identify and
evaluate health needs and interests,
translate science into actions to meet
those needs, and engage the public in
the excitement of discovery and the
progress being made to improve the
health of the Nation. In our outreach to
partners, we build relationships that
model shared learning, mutual trust,
and diversity in points of view and
sectors of society.
The National Center for Health
Marketing (NCHM) of the Coordinating
Center for Health Information and
Service (CCHIS) was established to help
ensure that health information,
interventions, and programs at CDC are
based on sound science, objectivity, and
continuous customer input.
NCHM is requesting a 3-year approval
for the generic concept of health
marketing to provide feedback on the
development, implementation and
satisfaction regarding public health
services, products, communication
campaigns and information. The
information will be collected using
standard qualitative and quantitative
methods such as interviews, focus
groups, and panels, as well as
questionnaires administered in person,
by telephone, by mail, by e-mail, and
online. More specific types of studies
may include: user experience and usertesting; concept/product/package
development testing; brand positioning/
identity research; customer satisfaction
surveying; ethnography/observational
studies; and mystery shopping. The data
will be used to provide input to the
development, delivery and
communication of public health
services and information at CDC and to
address emerging programmatic needs.
Every National Center and Office at
CDC will have the opportunity to utilize
this generic clearance. There is no cost
to the respondents other than their time.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this
notice.

for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 and

CDC is globally recognized for
conducting research and investigations
and for its action oriented approach.
CDC applies research and findings to
improve people’s daily lives and
responds to health emergencies—
something that distinguishes CDC from
its peer agencies.
CDC is committed to achieving true
improvements in people’s health. To do
this, the agency is defining specific
health protection goals to prioritize and
focus its work and investments and
measure progress.
It is imperative that CDC provide
high-quality timely information and
programs in the most effective ways to
help people, families, and communities
protect their health and safety. Through
continuous consumer feedback,

Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 639–5960 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC or by fax to (202) 395–6974. Written
comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.

and Evaluation in Actual Use—New—

modern PFDs with commercial
fishermen to discover the features and
qualities that they like and dislike. This
study addresses the repeated
recommendation by NIOSH that all
commercial fishermen wear PFDs while
on deck.
NIOSH is requesting OMB approval
for 24 months to administer a survey to
collect data on fishermen’s perceptions,
attitudes, and beliefs. Additionally,
NIOSH is requesting approval to involve
fishermen directly with an evaluation of
the wearability of several different styles
of PFDs during fishing operations.
This study has the potential to greatly
benefit the fishing industry. One of the
first steps to increasing PFD use among
commercial fishermen is gaining an
understanding of fishermen’s reasons
for not wearing PFDs. With the
empirical data at hand, safety
professionals may be better equipped to
address fishermen’s concerns and
remove the barriers that are currently in
place.
Findings from the PFD evaluations
will provide manufacturers valuable
information about commercial
fishermen’s needs and expectations of
PFDs. Because the PFD wearability
ratings will be completed by fishermen
during fishing operations, the results
may have more credibility when they
are disseminated to the industry. The
PFD evaluation will also supply
information to fishermen about which
types of PFDs worked best for different
types of fishing operations.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
200.

Background and Brief Description
NIOSH has the responsibility under
Public Law 91–596 section 20
(Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970) to conduct research relating to
innovative methods, techniques, and
approaches for dealing with
occupational safety and health
problems.
Commercial fishing is one of the most
dangerous occupations in the United
States, with a fatality rate 30 times
higher than the national average. Most
fishermen who die on the job drown
subsequent to a vessel sinking (51%) or
fall overboard (29%). Because drowning
is the leading cause of death for
commercial fishermen, its prevention is
one of the highest priorities for those
who work to make the industry safer.
The risk of drowning for commercial
fisherman is high, yet most fishermen
do not wear Personal Flotation Devices
(PFDs) while on deck. From 1990 to
2005, 71 commercial fishermen
drowned subsequent to a fall overboard
in Alaska. None of the victims were
wearing a PFD, and many were within
minutes of being rescued when they lost
their strength and disappeared under
the surface of the water.
Although there are many new styles
of PFDs on the market, it is unknown
how many commercial fishermen are
aware of them, or if they are more
comfortable and wearable than the older
styles. There have not been any
published studies testing PFDs on
commercial fisherman to measure
product attributes and satisfaction.
The purpose of this study is to first,
identify fishermen’s perceptions of risk,
safety attitudes, and beliefs about PFDs;
and second, to evaluate a variety of
