0008--Extension, no change--To protect the public's health, ATSDR has 
established a national surveillance system which describes the impact 
of hazardous substances emergencies on the public's health. The

    4. Assessment of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders in the 
Retail Food Industry--New--Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders among 
grocery cashiers have risen drastically since the introduction of the 
laser scanner. NIOSH investigators and other experts in ergonomics 
believe that certain checkstand features are more likely to impose 
substantial biomechanical stresses on cashiers than others. However, 
little research has been conducted to identify those activities and 
related postures of checking that contribute to the increased 
prevalence of WMD in this group of workers. The data collected in this 
study will be used to develop interventions to reduce WMD among grocery 
checkers, including redesign of checkstands and development of better 
training courses. Respondents: Individuals or households; Number of 
Respondents: 1,000; Number of Responses per Respondent: 1; Average 
Burden per Response: 1.71 hours; Estimated Annual Burden: 1,710 hours.

    5. National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses VI--New--Current 
national data on employment and practice of registered nurses are 
needed to assess the current supply and project the future availability 
of nurses. This proposed project will provide detailed statistics on 
the registered nurse population needed to prepare the mandated 
Secretary's Report to Congress. Respondents: Individuals or households; 
Number of Respondents: 41,000; Number of Responses per Respondent: 1; 
Average Burden per Response: .33 hour; Estimated Annual Burden: 13,530
