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 ``Enhanced Surveillance of Respiratory
Illness Among People Experiencing Homelessness in Anchorage, Alaska''
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 June 2, 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
Enhanced Surveillance of Respiratory Illness Among People
Experiencing Homelessness in Anchorage, Alaska--New--National Center
for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
People experiencing homelessness are at higher risk for respiratory
infectious diseases. However, the causes of these infections are not
well understood. This project involves enhanced surveillance for
organisms that cause respiratory illness in congregate and non-
congregate homeless shelters to provide evidence to improve public
health for people who are experiencing homelessness in Anchorage,
Alaska.
The project team will collect an upper respiratory specimen (e.g.,
nasopharyngeal swab) from people experiencing respiratory symptoms who
are accessing shelters. A member from the project team will complete
demographic questions and a short symptom questionnaire with the
participant. Swabs obtained from study participants will be tested for
multiple respiratory pathogens to: (1) estimate the burden of pathogen-
specific respiratory infections among people experiencing homelessness;
(2) inform infection control; and (3) determine the vaccination status
of people in this population.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 500 annual burden hours
for this collection. There is no cost to respondents other than their
time to participate.
