complete a research proposal and to
self-select whether they need access to
confidential data to answer their
research questions. The RDC requires
the researcher to complete a research
proposal, so NCHS understands the
research proposed. The completed
proposal is sent to NCHS through the
SAP portal for review and adjudication.
If the research proposal is approved by
NCHS, then the researcher must fill out
two of three data security forms. If the
researcher will access the data at a RDC,

then the ‘‘Data Access Form’’ and the
‘‘Designated Agent Form’’ would need
to be completed and returned to NCHS.
If the researcher will access the data
through the NCHS Virtual Data Enclave
(VDE), then the ‘‘VDE Data Use
Agreement Form’’ and the ‘‘Designated
Agent Form’’ would need to be
completed and returned to NCHS.
In order to capture the information
needed to adjudicate a researcher’s
commitment to protect confidential
NCHS data, researchers must complete

and sign the data security forms. This
request allows for both researcher
signature and the time per response for
a total estimated annual burden total of
110 hours. There is no cost to a
researcher other than their time to
complete the forms unless the
researcher has to pay a nominal notary
fee for services incurred. The resulting
information will be used for NCHS
internal purposes.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 47 / Friday, March 10, 2023 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
Taxi drivers routinely work long
hours and late night or early morning
shifts. Shift work and long work hours
are linked to many health and safety
risks due to disturbances to sleep and
circadian rhythms. Fatigue is a
significant contributor to transportationrelated injuries, most notably among
shift workers. Such work schedules and
inadequate sleep likely contribute to
health issues and injuries among taxi
drivers who experience a roadway
fatality rate of 3.5 times higher than all
civilian workers and had the highest
rate of nonfatal work-related motor
vehicle injuries treated in emergency
departments. The urban and interurban
transportation industry ranks the third
highest in costs per employee for motor
vehicle crashes. Tired drivers endanger
others on the road (e.g., other drivers,
passengers, bicyclists, pedestrians) in
addition to themselves and their
passengers. An important approach to
reducing fatigue-related risks is to
inform employers and taxi drivers about
the risks and strategies to reduce their
risks.
The purpose of this project is to
develop and evaluate a training program
to inform taxi drivers and other drivers
for hire who transport passengers of the
risks linked to shift work and long work
hours and evaluate strategies for taxi
drivers to reduce these risks. Due to the
pandemic, the study will be
administered virtually. We are focused
on taxi/rideshare drivers licensed in San
Francisco, with approximately 45,000
drivers. The recruitment of 180 study
participants and data collection
procedures will be performed by NIOSH
project personnel with support from a
NIOSH contractor trained by the NIOSH
project personnel. This research study
involves two parts: development of a
fatigue management eLearning training
tool designed for drivers-for-hire (e.g.,
taxi drivers; ride sourcing drivers); and
an evaluation of the use of this tool as
an intervention. The training tool will

speeding) already collected on all
drivers as a direct measurement of
fatigue-related driving performance
events used to validate self-report data.
As part of their daily sleep and health
diaries drivers will be asked to complete
three-minute psychomotor vigilance
tests (PVTs) five times throughout the
day to directly measure alertness using
an app installed on an electronic device.
At the end of the data collection period
the training will be offered to the
remaining study participants who will
be provided an opportunity, but no
remuneration, to complete the training
and training survey.
Study staff will use the findings from
this evaluation to improve the training
program, including content and
delivery, as well as compare fatigue
between intervention groups. Potential
impacts of this project include
improvements in work behaviors for
coping with shift work and long work
hours and an objective reduction in
fatigue compared to the control groups.
This project is poised to have
considerable impact in the contribution
of an evidence base for effective
interventions that could be used by
other taxi companies and drivers for
ride sourcing companies to promote
strategies in road safety.
The burden table lists 120 of the 180
taxi drivers in the study will complete
the online training and evaluation
(approximately three hours). All drivers
(180) will complete the Work and
Health survey, and the knowledge
survey each week of the study (five
times each per participant). Each
participant will complete the sleep and
activity diary five times a day, each day
for 35 days (175 times total) which will
require approximately two minutes for
each response. There will also be three
meetings for recruitment and enrollment
(once), fitting the actigraph (weekly),
and a final meeting (weekly). The total
estimated annualized burden hours is
2,700. There are no costs to participants
other than their time.

educate drivers about fatigue as a risk
factor for motor vehicle crashes, the
negative health and safety effects of
fatigue, and how to reduce fatigue by
improving sleep, health, nutrition and
work schedules. There will be pre- and
post-module knowledge tests to evaluate
the training. The training will be offered
online, free of charge, and will be
viewable on multiple platforms (e.g.,
smartphone, tablet, laptop). All
participants will also wear a wristband
actigraph used to measure sleep/wake
cycles, which will serve as a second
intervention. The actigraph data will
provide a personalized daily measure of
fatigue each participant can use as an
external prompt to assess individual
fatigue levels and trigger self-reflection
on fitness to drive and act accordingly.
A randomized pre-post with control
group longitudinal study design will
evaluate the training and the driver’s
response to feedback from the actigraph.
Specifically, there are two intervention
groups: (1) training plus actigraph
fatigue level feedback and (2) training
only with wearing actigraph but no
fatigue level feedback. The control
group will receive neither training nor
feedback on fatigue levels from their
actigraph. Participants will complete a
baseline and follow-up Work and Health
survey, sleep and activities diaries, and
sleep health knowledge questions
during each of five observation periods.
The Work and Health survey
administered in the first observation
period will be more comprehensive and
the abbreviated follow-up Work and
Health surveys administered for the
remaining observation periods will
serve to capture only responses to
questions that can change from one
observation period to the next. Only
participants randomly selected to take
the training will complete a training
evaluation survey used to strengthen the
training’s effectiveness. Data will also be
collected from company installed invehicle monitoring systems on safety
critical events (e.g., hard braking,

Proposed Project
The STD Surveillance Network
(SSuN), (OMB Control No. 0920–1072,
Exp. 10/31/2023)—Revision—National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP) is requesting revision of the
information collection entitled, The
STD Surveillance Network (SSuN).
Revisions to this submission include
addition of mpox-related data elements
for monitoring mpox risk, vaccination,
diagnoses, and laboratory testing as part
of ongoing surveillance for this
emergent public health issue.
Additionally, this Revision incorporates
future expansion of SSuN to additional
STD clinical facilities, addition of
several new data elements to sentinel
surveillance activities in STD clinical
facilities related to Pre-Exposure
Prophylaxis for HIV (PrEP), and
enhanced investigations of a random
sample syphilis cases reported to
participating health departments.
Multiple data elements associated with
enhanced gonorrhea case investigations
and provider reporting forms are also
being retired.
The purpose of this project is to
enhance national capacity for STD
surveillance and better meet CDC’s
disease surveillance mandate by: (1)
addressing gaps in epidemiologicallyrelevant information by providing more
complete behavioral and demographic
data on reported cases of notifiable
STDs to enhance the ability of public
health authorities to interpret trends in
case incidence, assess inequalities in the
burden of disease by population
characteristics and to monitor STD
