continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed
information collection project titled Monitoring and Reporting for the
Overdose Data to Action Co-Operative Agreement. Information collected
will provide crucial data for program performance monitoring, budget
tracking, and where applicable, program success for programs funded
under Overdose Data to Action (CDC-RFA-CE19-1904).
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before April 15, 2022.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2022-

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
Monitoring and Reporting for the Overdose Data to Action Co-
Operative Agreement--Revision--National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) seeks OMB approval for
a Revision of a previously approved Information Collection Request
(ICR) (OMB Control No. 0920-1283, Expiration 01/31/2023) for a one-year
period, to continue collecting information from jurisdictions (which
include states, Washington DC, U.S. Territories, cities and counties)
funded under the Overdose Data to Action (CDC-RFA-CE19-1904) funding
opportunity.
Drug overdose deaths in the United States increased by 18% per year
from 2014 to 2016. Opioid overdose deaths have increased fivefold from
1999 to 2016, and in 2017, there were more than 47,000 deaths
attributed to opioids. While the opioid overdose epidemic worsens in
scope and magnitude, it is also becoming more complex. The complex and
changing nature of the opioid overdose epidemic highlights the need for
an interdisciplinary, comprehensive, and cohesive public health
approach.
The purpose of the Overdose Data to Action (CDC-RFA-CE19-1904)
notice of funding opportunity (OD2A NOFO), is to support funded
jurisdictions in obtaining high quality, complete, and timely data on
opioid prescribing and overdoses, and to use those data to inform
prevention and response efforts. There are two required components of
this award--a surveillance component and a prevention component, with
10 strategies in the funding opportunity across both components. The
intent is to ensure that funded jurisdictions are well equipped to do
rigorous work under both components, and to ensure that these
components are linked and implemented as part of a system.
This ICR will focus on three tools that funded jurisdictions will
be required to use to assess performance as well as measure
effectiveness: The Activity Progress Report, the Evaluation and
Performance Measuring Plan, and the Organizational Capacity Assessment
Tool. These tools support the overall OD2A NOFO (all strategies above).
There is an overall reduction in burden of 880 burden hours from the
previously approved request.
A total of 79 jurisdictions were eligible to receive awards under
this funding opportunity, and 67 jurisdictions submitted applications,
of which 66 were funded. Each funded jurisdiction will be required to
report the four elements of this ICR. Reporting is based on both web-
based tools and Word templates. This information is being collected to
provide crucial data to CDC for program monitoring and budget tracking,
to improve timely CDC-recipient communications, and to inform technical
assistance and guidance documents produced by CDC to support program
implementation among funded jurisdictions. The information feedback
loop created by these information collection tools is designed to help
jurisdictions decrease fatal and nonfatal overdoses. It will also
provide CDC with the capacity to respond in a timely manner to requests
for information about the program from the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), the White House, Congress, and other sources.
CDC requests approval for an estimated 462 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
