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 information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Milestone Tracker In-App survey to understand the outcome of the Milestone Tracker app on developmental surveillance. This project is designed to evaluate the Milestone Tracker mobile application (app) developed by CDC's "Learn the Signs. Act Early." program and will be used to understand how the app is being used, if users find it helpful, and if the app helped them to identify a possible developmental concern(s).

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 information
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled Milestone Tracker In-App survey to understand the outcome of the
Milestone Tracker app on developmental surveillance. This project is
designed to evaluate the Milestone Tracker mobile application (app)
developed by CDC's ``Learn the Signs. Act Early.'' program and will be
used to understand how the app is being used, if users find it helpful,
and if the app helped them to identify a possible developmental
concern(s).
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before September 12,
2022.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2022-
0081 by either of the following methods:
<bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.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://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking
portal (<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>) 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
Milestone Tracker In-App Survey to Understand the Outcome of the
Milestone Tracker App on Developmental Surveillance--New--National
Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
[[Page 41318]]
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's ``Learn the Signs.
Act Early.'' program (LTSAE) promotes efforts to increase developmental
monitoring across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and other
U.S. territories through its Act Early Initiatives and Act Early
Ambassador program, which heavily promote use of CDC's Milestone
Tracker app. The app is a tool to help parents and others track and
monitor their children's developmental milestones and guide them on
next steps for when a child is missing milestones or there are other
concerns.
Since the app release in 2017, the program has had limited
capability to evaluate target outcomes and impact of use of the app.
Without directly asking the app users, the program has no way to know
if use of this app is helpful, has made a difference in terms of
identifying developmental delays among children, or if it is helping
children get the services and support they may need as a result. This
web-based survey evaluation will allow LTSAE to collect this
information and assess the outcomes and impact of this tool to
determine if the app is having the intended impact and should be
continued to be made available as is or with improvements.
The goal of the LTSAE program is to improve early identification of
developmental delays and disabilities by developing high-quality,
evidence informed and parent-friendly tools and resources to facilitate
ongoing family-engaged developmental monitoring. The Milestone Tracker
app is one of these tools to help parents and other caregivers track
early development and link parents and guardians to the appropriate
care and resources.
The goal of this project is to evaluate the Milestone Tracker app
developed by CDC's ``Learn the Signs. Act Early.'' program. The
evaluation will consist of two brief web surveys at two distinct times
during the app user experience. The objectives of these two short
surveys is to understand how the app is being used, if users like the
app/find it helpful, if the app helped them to identify a possible
developmental concern, if they plan to use it again, and what happens
as a result of using the app. The resulting survey data will be used to
assess user satisfaction with the app as well as to evaluate short term
and medium-term outcomes associated with its use.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 8,000 annual burden
hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to
participate.
