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 Population-based Surveillance of Outcomes, Needs, and Well-being of Children and Adolescents with Congenital Heart Defects (CHD). The purpose of this collection is to provide insight into public health questions that remain for CHD and to develop services and allocate resources to improve long-term health and well-being.

Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
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 Population-based Surveillance of
Outcomes, Needs, and Well-being of Children and Adolescents with
Congenital Heart Defects (CHD). The purpose of this collection is to
provide insight into public health questions that remain for CHD and to
develop services and allocate resources to improve long-term health and
well-being.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before April 15, 2022.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2022-
0021 by either 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
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments
to <a href="http://Regulations.gov">Regulations.gov</a>.
Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal
eRulemaking portal (regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the address
listed above.

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
Population-based Surveillance of Outcomes, Needs, and well-being of
Children and Adolescents with Congenital Heart Defects--New--National
Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CHD are the most common type of structural birth defects, affecting
approximately one in 110 live-born children. Due to advances in
survival, there are approximately one million children with CHD in the
United States. With vast declines in mortality from pediatric heart
disease over the past 30 years, it is vital to evaluate health,
[[Page 8253]]
social, educational, and quality of life outcomes beyond infancy and
early childhood. However, existing U.S. population-based data are
lacking on these outcomes among those born with CHD and the changes
that may occur with time and age. U.S. data is needed to provide
insight into the public health questions that remain for this
population and to develop services and allocate resources to improve
long-term health and well-being.
For this project, we will use data from U.S. state birth defect
surveillance systems, or population-based studies derived from them, to
identify a population-based sample of children and adolescents 2-17
years of age born with CHD. We will then use state databases and online
search engines to find current addresses for those individuals and mail
surveys to their caregivers inquiring about the child's cardiac and
other healthcare utilization, barriers to healthcare, quality of life,
social and educational outcomes, and transition of care from childhood
to adulthood, as well as needs and experiences of the caregivers. The
information collected from this population-based survey will be used to
inform current knowledge, allocate resources, develop services, and,
ultimately, improve long-term health of children and adolescents born
with CHD.
We estimate receiving completed surveys from 7,667 caregivers of
children and adolescents with CHD in the birth defects surveillance
systems. To generate sufficient sample size, accounting for non-
response, from caregivers up to 17 years after the birth of their child
with CHD, we intend to sample 100% of eligible CHD cases identified
through select birth defect surveillance systems. The survey takes
approximately 20 minutes to complete. Therefore, we estimate the total
annual burden to be 2,556 hours. There are no costs to participants
other than their time.
