    Title of the Collection: National Strategy for a Resilient Public

    Type of Collection: New Father Generic ICR.
    OMB No. 0990-new--Administration for Strategic Preparedness and 
Response--Office of Strategy, Policy, Planning, and Requirements.
    Abstract: The Office of Strategy, Policy, Planning, and 
Requirements, within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), 
Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), is 
seeking OMB approval of a new Generic clearance. In July 2021, the 
White House published the National Strategy for a Resilient Public 
Health Supply Chain (National Strategy), which provides a strategic 
approach to design, build, and sustain a long-term capability in the 
United States to manufacture supplies for future pandemics and 
biological threats. HHS is working with the White House and across the 
federal interagency to launch a multiyear implementation of the 
National Strategy involving the identification and coordination of 
measurable activities across the U.S. government, State, Local, Tribal, 
and Territorial (SLTT) jurisdictions, and the private sector.
    HHS is requesting a 3-year PRA generic clearance for purposes of 
implementation to engage with SLTTs, trade groups, mixed cross-sector 
audiences, non-governmental organizations, manufacturers, academia, 
healthcare providers and facilities, local communities, and other 
partners to: gain a better understanding of the public health supply 
chain; develop future strategic goals and recommendations for building 
immediate and long-term resilience through increased visibility, 
agility, and robustness in the public health supply chain to prepare 
for and mitigate future public health emergencies; and to ensure ASPR, 
HHS, and the broader U.S. government have current data and information 
to inform program and policy decision-making.
    Cross-sectoral engagement underpins many of the interdependent 
implementation activities. For example, one such activity involves 
information collection from SLTT partners on facility, local, and state 
stockpiling plans to ensure coordinated plans are in place for a future 
public health emergency. Other potential engagements include, but are 
not limited to questionnaires, stakeholder meetings, requests for 
information, town hall meetings, and workshops. Stakeholder engagement 
frequency will vary depending on the type of stakeholder and the 
information collection needs. Therefore, some engagements may only 
occur once, while others may require a series of recurring meetings.
