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 ``National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN)
COVID-19'' OMB Control No. 0920-1317 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 4, 2024 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC received four comments 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
National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) COVID-19 (OMB Control No.
0920-1317, Exp. 3/31/2026)--Revision--National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP), National
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collects COVID-19 and
respiratory virus data from healthcare facilities in the National
Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) under OMB Control Number 0920-1317.
NHSN COVID-19 Modules are designed to standardize the data elements
collected across the country regarding the impact of the COVID-19 and
other respiratory viruses on healthcare facilities. In collecting
standardized data, NHSN provides a vendor-neutral platform and a
national lens into the burden hospitals are experiencing in a way that
is designed to support the public health response.
NHSN is a platform that exists in nearly all acute-care hospitals,
nursing homes, and dialysis facilities in the US and can provide a
secure, sturdy infrastructure. The proposed changes in this ICR include
revisions made to 10 approved NHSN data collection tools and addition
of two new forms, for a total of 12 forms in this package.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,752,540 annual burden
hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to
participate.
