Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Food safety knowledge, attitude, and practices survey of correctional workers. The proposed data collection will create a baseline for the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of correctional staff working in a variety of U.S. correctional facilities and will assess the overall food safety approaches to training, and the receptiveness of correctional staff to being a part of food safety at their facilities.

Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part
of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the
utility of government information, invites the general public and other
Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed information
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled Food safety knowledge, attitude, and practices survey of
correctional workers. The proposed data collection will create a
baseline for the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of
correctional staff working in a variety of U.S. correctional facilities
and will assess the overall food safety approaches to training, and the
receptiveness of correctional staff to being a part of food safety at
their facilities.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before October 6, 2023.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2023-
0066 by either of the following methods:
<bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow
the instructions for submitting comments.
<bullet> Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road

Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments
to <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking
portal (<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>) or by U.S. mail to the address listed
above.

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
[[Page 52165]]
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
Food safety knowledge, attitude, and practices survey of
correctional workers--New--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2017, an analysis of Foodborne Disease Outbreak Surveillance
System (FDOSS) epidemiology data demonstrated a disproportionately high
burden of foodborne outbreaks and outbreak-associated illnesses in
correctional facilities compared to other settings. The CDC is
implementing training and policy initiatives to reduce foodborne
illness in correctional facilities. However, CDC has little
understanding of current training and overall food safety culture among
individuals working in correctional settings. The proposed survey will
allow for the collection of baseline knowledge, attitude, and practices
(KAP) of correctional staff working in a variety of U.S. correctional
facilities (including Federal, State, Tribal, local and private
facilities). The survey will assess overall food safety approaches to
training, and the receptiveness of correctional staff to being a part
of food safety at their facilities. The information collection request
will be open for three years to allow for a follow-up survey to support
program evaluation of CDC programmatic and policy initiatives 2-3 years
following the initial assessment. There is no legal requirement for CDC
to collect this information. However, CDC is the Federal authority on
identifying and preventing foodborne illness and as such, is best
suited to collect data in support of improved food safety practices at
State, local, Federal, and Tribal correctional facilities.
Following the initial baseline data collection, CDC plans to
develop food safety best practices which are tailored to the needs and
risks of correctional facilities. Best practices will be disseminated
via pilot training initiatives through the Integrated Food Safety
Centers of Excellence (CoEs) supported by CDC's ELC Cooperative
Agreement (CDC RFA CK19-1904). The overall goal of program will be to
reduce foodborne illness outbreaks in correctional facilities by
increasing training and implementing policy to improve food safety.
CDC requests OMB approval or an estimated 5,000 annual burden
hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to
participate.
