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
Awardee Lead Profile Assessment (ALPA) (OMB Control No. 0920-1215,
Exp. Date 03/31/2024)--Revision--National Center for Environmental
Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is requesting
a three-year Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance for a Revision of
an
[[Page 77843]]
information collection request (ICR) titled ``Awardee Lead Profile
Assessment (ALPA)'' (OMB Control No. 0920-1215; Exp. Date 03/31/2024).
The goal of this ICR is to build on the CDC's existing childhood lead
poisoning prevention program. CDC requires that ongoing and new CDC
Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs (CLPPPs), including the
FY21 ``Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention and Surveillance of Blood
Lead Levels in Children'' (CDC-RFA-EH21-2102), complete the ALPA
annually. This annual information collection will be used to identify
jurisdictional legal frameworks governing CDC-funded childhood lead
poisoning programs (CLPPPs) in the United States and strategies for
implementing childhood lead poisoning prevention activities. CDC will
use this information to inform guidance, resource development, and
technical assistance activities in support of the ultimate goal, which
is eliminating lead exposure in children. The dissemination of these
ALPA results will ensure that both funded and non-funded jurisdictions
are able to: (1) identify policies and other factors that support or
hinder childhood lead poisoning prevention efforts; (2) understand what
strategies are being used by funded public health agencies to implement
childhood lead poisoning prevention activities; and (3) use this
knowledge to develop and apply similar strategies to support the
national agenda to eliminate childhood lead poisoning.
CDC will now use one data collection mode, a web survey. Reporting
via email will be eliminated. This program management survey has been
revised in several ways, including the addition of new answer options
and questions to understand usage of the updated blood lead reference
value (BLRV). The time per response is the same from the 2021 estimate
(47 minutes per response) despite revisions to the survey. This updated
estimate is based on recent pilot tests of the revised survey among
nine respondents, and includes the time needed to review the ALPA
Training Manual.
CDC is requesting OMB approval for a total time burden of 59 hours
and a total number of 75 respondents per year. These estimates remain
unchanged from the previous PRA clearance.
