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;
[[Page 54695]]
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 (OD2A) Co-
Operative Agreement (OMB Control No. 0920-1283, Exp. 1/31/2023)--
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
the Revision of this previously approved Information Collection Request
(ICR) (OMB Control No. 0920-1283, Exp. 1/31/2023) to continue
collecting information from jurisdictions funded under the Overdose
Data to Action (OD2A) 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 OD2A is to support funded jurisdictions in
obtaining high quality, complete, and timelier data on opioid
prescribing and overdoses, and to use those data to inform prevention
and response efforts. 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 Revision request is also intended to initiate collection
of new information from jurisdictions (which include states and
Washington, DC) funded under the OD2A in States, as well as to collect
new information from jurisdictions (which include U.S. Territories,
cities, and counties) funded under the OD2A Limiting Overdose through
Collaborative Actions in Localities.
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. Ultimately, 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 OMB approval for an estimated 1,075 annual burden
hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to
participate.
