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 ``Evaluation of the Overdose Data to Action
Technical Assistance Hub'' 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
December 11, 2020 to obtain comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC did not receive 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
Evaluation of the Overdose Data to Action Technical Assistance Hub--
New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Overdose Prevention (DOP), at Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) requests a three-year OMB approval to
support the evaluation of technical assistance (TA) provided for the
Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) program. OD2A is a cooperative agreement
(CDC-RFA-CE19-1904) funded in 2019 to focus on comprehensive and
interdisciplinary opioid overdose prevention efforts in 47 state health
departments, 16 localities, Puerto Rico, Washington DC, and the North
Mariana Islands. This program consists of two required components--a
surveillance component and a prevention component. OD2A recipients
implement a combination of activities across 10 strategies within these
components in order to gain access to high quality, complete, and
timelier data on opioid prescribing and overdoses and to use those data
to inform prevention and response efforts in their jurisdictions.
Training and technical assistance (TA) is essential to building
knowledge and strengthening the capacity of recipients to implement and
evaluate OD2A program strategies. CDC will develop and deploy a TA hub
(hereafter referred to as the OD2A TA Center) to deliver comprehensive
technical assistance and training to support the successful
implementation and
[[Page 30941]]
evaluation of surveillance and prevention activities. The OD2A TA
Center is designed to enhance the efficiency, coordination, and
effectiveness of TA efforts by streamlining and centralizing the
provision of overdose surveillance and prevention TA. TA to OD2A
recipients is divided into four different levels with multiple modes of
TA delivery and involves a wide range of TA providers including CDC
staff, internal and external subject matter experts (SMEs), and program
partners, as well as contract staff.
The evaluation consists of two web-based surveys designed to
collect process and outcome measures about TA access, utilization, and
outcomes across all 66 OD2A recipient programs. The Technical
Assistance Feedback Form will be administered to collect immediate
feedback following individual TA encounters and group events such as
webinars and in-person trainings. The Annual OD2A TA Survey will be
distributed twice (mid-point and final) to assess satisfaction with
overall TA provided and the extent to which TA supports informed
implementation of OD2A strategies. The information obtained through
this evaluation will allow TA providers to assess OD2A recipients'
experience and utility of knowledge and resources gained through
individual TA support, peer-to-peer sessions, and other group
trainings. Ultimately, the evaluation data will inform subsequent
rounds of TA and allow TA providers to make necessary adjustments to
the overall TA strategy for continuous quality improvement. This will
ensure recipients have the support necessary to implement strategies
that will improve opioid surveillance and prevention policies and
practices within their communities.
The total annualized burden estimate is 222 hours. There is no cost
to respondents other than the time to participate.
