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 ``Homeless Service Providers' Knowledge,
Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Body Lice, Fleas and Associated
Diseases'' 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 February
22, 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
Homeless service providers knowledge, attitudes, and practices
regarding body lice, fleas and associated diseases--New--National
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Several bacterial vector-borne diseases that are spread by body
lice and fleas disproportionately affect persons experiencing
homelessness (PEH). Given the potential severity of louse- and flea-
borne diseases, as well as their disproportionate impact on PEH,
understanding the knowledge, and gaps in knowledge, of urban homeless
service providers will allow for targeted education and interventions
to reduce the risk of louse- and flea-borne disease among this
population.
This information collection aims to improve CDC's understanding of
homeless service providers knowledge, attitudes, and practices
regarding vector-borne diseases that can affect PEH. Insights gained
from this information collection will be used to develop guidance for
control of vector-borne diseases among PEH, and to improve educational
outreach regarding these diseases.
Homeless service providers who work or volunteer in shelters
serving PEH and homeless service providers who work on outreach teams
serving unhoused persons living on the street or in encampments will
serve as respondents for this study. Participating local or state
public health partners will recruit up to 10 homeless service sites or
outreach organizations. At each participating service site or outreach
organization, 3-5 participants will be recruited to participate, with a
goal of 30-50 participants recruited by each local or state public
health partner. A total of 240-500 participants will complete a survey
instrument. In addition, one participant from each homeless service
site or outreach organization will complete a separate site assessment
form regarding policies and services to better understand structural
barriers to vector-borne disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 320 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
