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 ``Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) Case
Registry'' 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 September
7, 2021 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC
received two 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
[[Page 14269]]
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
Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) Case Registry (OMB Control No.
0920-1092, Exp. 04/30/2022)--Revision--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) is defined as a sudden and
unexpected death among an infant, child, or young adults (up to age
20), which is not explained by homicide, suicide, overdose, or the
result of an external cause that was the only and obvious reason for
the fatal injury, or terminal illnesses. Injury deaths where there may
have been an initiating natural cause (e.g., drowning or death of the
driver in a motor vehicle accident, which may have been triggered by an
underlying cardiac or neurological condition) are also included in the
definition.
SDY deaths are not systematically monitored and estimates of the
annual incidence of SDY vary due to differences in definitions,
inconsistencies in classifying cause, variable age and study
populations, and differing case ascertainment methodologies. Because
standardized information has not been collected on the incidence,
causes, and risk factors, developing evidence-based prevention measures
has been challenging.
To address these gaps, CDC, in collaboration with the National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the National Institute of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health,
implemented the SDY Case Registry. Standardized data collected through
the SDY Case Registry has been used by the NIH and CDC awardees to
generate estimates of the incidence of SDY; to elucidate risk factors;
and to develop evidence-based prevention strategies for SDY. The SDY
Registry also creates infrastructure for future research about
previously unknown or unrecognized risk factors for, and causes of,
these deaths.
This information collection request is to extend OMB approval for
the SDY Registry. By continuing the prior work of the SDY Registry, the
information collected under this request will allow CDC to provide
technical assistance to awardees so they can improve their state or
local jurisdiction's information on SDY. This includes two additions to
their existing Child Death Review (CDR) program: (1) Entering SDY
information from existing data sources (e.g., medical records, autopsy
reports) used during CDR review into the established web-based NCFRP
Case Reporting System; and (2) convening clinicians with three
different types of expertise (pediatric cardiology; pediatric neurology
or epileptology; and forensic pathology) to conduct advanced clinical
reviews of a subset of SDY cases to allow for a more thorough review of
information compiled, and to generate additional data about the
classification of the death. The intended result will be data that can
establish incidence and guide program and policy decisions at the
state/local jurisdiction levels.
CDC estimates that the participating state/local jurisdictions will
collect data on approximately 720 SDY cases per year. For participating
state/local jurisdictions, burden is estimated for reporting required
case information. Based on historical program information, it is
estimated that approximately half (360) of the 720 estimated SDY cases
each year will undergo an advanced clinical review and classification
of cause by a team of three medical experts.
OMB approval is requested for three years. The total estimated
annual burden is 511 hours which is a decrease of 10 hours from the
previously approved information collection request due to a decrease in
the number of participating states/local jurisdictions from 14 to 13.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
