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 ``Information Collections to Advance State,
Tribal, Local, and Territorial (STLT) Governmental Agency and System
Performance, Capacity, and Program Delivery'' 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 January 23, 2023 to obtain comments from
the public and affected agencies. CDC received one non-substantive
comment 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
Information Collections to Advance State, Tribal, Local, and
Territorial (STLT) Governmental Agency and System Performance,
Capacity, and Program Delivery (OMB Control Number 0920-0879,
Expiration Date 1/31/2024)--Extension--National Center for STLT Public
Health Infrastructure and Workforce (NCSTLTPHIW), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The mission of the Department of Health and Human Services is to
enhance the health and well-being of all Americans. As part of HHS, CDC
conducts critical science and provides health information to people and
communities to save lives and protect people from health threats. To
this end, CDC and HHS seek to accomplish their mission by collaborating
with partners throughout the nation and the world to monitor health,
detect and investigate health problems, conduct research to enhance
prevention, develop and advocate sound public health policies,
implement prevention strategies, promote healthy behaviors, foster safe
and healthful environments, and provide leadership and training.
CDC is requesting a three-year approval for an Extension of a
Generic Clearance to collect information related to domestic public
health issues and services that affect and/or involve State, Tribal,
Local, and Territorial (STLT) government entities. The respondent
universe is comprised of STLT governmental staff or delegates acting on
behalf of an STLT agency involved in the provision of essential public
health services in the United States. Delegate is defined as a
governmental or non-governmental agent (agency, function, office or
individual) acting for a principal or submitted by another to represent
or act on their behalf. The STLT agency is represented by an STLT
entity or delegate with a task to protect and/or improve the public's
health.
Information will be used to: (1) assess situational awareness of
current public health emergencies; (2) make decisions that affect
planning, response and recovery activities of subsequent emergencies;
and (3) fill CDC and HHS gaps in knowledge of programs and/or STLT
governments that will strengthen surveillance, epidemiology, and
laboratory science; and/or improve CDC's support and technical
assistance to states and communities. CDC and HHS will conduct brief
data collections across a range of public health topics related to
essential public health services.
CDC estimates up to 30 data collections with STLT governmental
staff or delegates, and 10 data collections with local/county/city
governmental staff or delegates, will be conducted on an annual basis.
Approximately 95% of these data collections will be web-based and 5% by
telephone, in-person, and focus groups. CDC will submit a description
of each data collection project to OMB
[[Page 41627]]
for final review and approval. The description will include a
discussion of the project's purpose, information collection methods and
instrument(s), and estimated burden.
CDC requests OMB approval for a total estimated annualized burden
of 54,000 hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
