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 ``Emerging Infections Program (EIP)'' 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 January 31, 2022, to obtain
comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive
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 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
Emerging Infections Program (OMB Control No. 0920-0978, Exp. 4/30/
2022)--Revision--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Emerging Infections Programs (EIPs) are population-based
centers of excellence established through a network of state health
departments collaborating with academic institutions; local health
departments; public health and clinical laboratories; infection control
professionals; and healthcare providers. EIPs assist in local, state,
and national efforts to prevent, control, and monitor the public health
impact of infectious diseases.
Activities of the EIPs fall into the following general categories:
(1) Active surveillance; (2) applied public health epidemiologic and
laboratory activities; (3) implementation and evaluation of pilot
prevention/intervention projects; and (4) flexible response to public
health emergencies. These activities are designed to: (1) Address
issues that the EIP network is particularly suited to investigate; (2)
maintain sufficient flexibility for emergency response and new problems
as they arise; (3) develop and evaluate public health interventions to
inform public health policy and treatment guidelines; (4) incorporate
training as a key function; and (5) prioritize projects that lead
directly to the prevention of disease.
A Revision is being submitted to make existing collection
instruments clearer and to add several new forms specifically surveying
laboratory practices. These forms will allow the EIP to better detect,
identify, track changes in laboratory testing methodology, gather
information about laboratory utilization in the EIP catchment area to
ensure that all cases are being captured, and survey EIP staff to
evaluate program quality.
Total estimated burden is 61,956 hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
