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
Healthcare Response and Prevention Training Curriculum for Health
Departments--New--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Disease (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC funds Healthcare-Associated Infection and Antibiotic Resistance
(HAI/AR) programs in 64 state, local and territorial health
departments.
[[Page 39438]]
Funding is awarded through the Epidemiology and Laboratory cooperative
agreements (ELC), and is intended to provide critical resources to
recipients in support of a broad range of healthcare infection
prevention and control and epidemiologic surveillance activities to
detect, monitor, mitigate, and prevent the spread of HAI/AR in
healthcare settings.
HAI/AR programs have experienced an increase in program size and
scope through COVID-19 supplemental funds. To better support the
growing programs, CDC has developed high-priority trainings requested
by the health department programs with the goal of strengthening public
health workforce capacity to prevent and respond to HAI/AR outbreaks in
healthcare settings, including preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The
proposed training evaluation will be used to assess whether the CDC-
developed trainings are reaching the intended audience and achieving
the intended goal of strengthening public health workforce capacity to
prevent and respond to HAI/AR outbreaks, including COVID-19, at the
individual trainee and program level.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 316 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
