Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed and/or continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Validated Follow-up Interview of Clinicians on Outpatient Antibiotic Stewardship Interventions. This collection aims to perform an interview of outpatient clinicians regarding the acceptability and perceived clinician level barriers associated with our year-long implementation of interventions designed around the Core Elements of Outpatient Antibiotic Stewardship.

Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part
of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the
utility of government information, invites the general public and other
federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed and/or
continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed
information collection project titled Validated Follow-up Interview of
Clinicians on Outpatient Antibiotic Stewardship Interventions. This
collection aims to perform an interview of outpatient clinicians
regarding the acceptability and perceived clinician level barriers
associated with our year-long implementation of interventions designed
around the Core Elements of Outpatient Antibiotic Stewardship.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before March 25, 2022.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2022-
0007 by any of the following methods:
<bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://Regulations.gov">Regulations.gov</a>. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
<bullet> Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road
NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. 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
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Validated Interview and Survey of Outpatient Providers on
Antibiotic Stewardship Interventions (OMB Control No. 0920-1308)--
Reinstatement--Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing is a major driver of
antibiotic resistance which is an urgent national and global health
threat. Additionally, inappropriate antibiotic prescribing contributes
to avoidable adverse drug events that cause substantial harm to
patients. Most antibiotic prescribing originates in traditional
outpatient settings such as physician offices and emergency departments
and at least 30% of these prescriptions are completely unnecessary.
Over the past decade there has been rapid growth in non-traditional
outpatient settings including Urgent Care clinics. Recent evidence
shows that when compared to traditional office settings, inappropriate
antibiotic prescribing is substantially higher in Urgent Care clinics
making this an important priority for antibiotic stewardship. The
design, development, and evaluation of durable stewardship
interventions addressing the unique setting of Urgent Care clinics is
an important area of unmet need. This data will assess knowledge,
attitudes, and practices related to antibiotic prescribing among
clinicians after implementation of a year-long Urgent Care stewardship
initiative.
CDC requests approval for an estimated 62 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
