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 ``Healthcare Response and Prevention Training
Curriculum for Health Departments'' 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 June 16, 2023 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment related to the
previous notice. This
[[Page 60686]]
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

Proposed Project
Healthcare Response and Prevention Training Curriculum for Health
Departments--New--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (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. Funding is awarded through the Epidemiology and Laboratory
cooperative agreements (ELC). Funds are 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. Recently, 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.
