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.

Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion's Project Firstline
(PFL) is submitting a new information collection request to cover two
partner reporting tools for three years. PFL aims to provide frontline
healthcare personnel (HCP) necessary infection prevention and control
(IPC) knowledge to prevent the transmission of healthcare acquired
infections and COVID-19 in healthcare settings. IPC materials and
education will be disseminated by CDC and funded partners via trainings
and promotional materials to reach healthcare personnel in a variety of
settings.
PFL is a new program, and as such, collection of performance/
progress data is critical for successful program implementation and
ongoing improvement. Gathering data from PFL partners will provide
crucial insights into the diverse needs of HCP, gaps in existing CDC
training resources, and will help CDC understand the reach and impact
of the PFL initiative. Having this information will allow CDC and
partners to monitor progress towards desired outcomes while improving
PFL outreach and programming based on lessons learned. The PFL
collaborative network, data-driven training and education programs, and
targeted messaging through digital platforms will help drive behavior
change--enhancing the readiness of the nation's frontlines to respond
to the current COVID-19 pandemic and future disease outbreaks.
The PFL collaborative consists of 11 national partners (five of
which have subrecipients). National partners and their subrecipients
will report on their communications and training efforts conducted
with, or tailored to, their respective memberships under the PFL
initiative. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,168 annual
burden hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to
participate.
