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 ``Evaluation of the Overdose Data to Action
Technical Assistance Hub'' 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
May 7, 2024, to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies.
CDC received one non-substantive public 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
Evaluation of the Overdose Data to Action Technical Assistance Hub
(OMB Control No. 0920-1355, Exp. 11/30/2024)--Revision--National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests
approval of this Revision to support the evaluation of technical
assistance (TA) provided for the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) in
States (OD2A-S) and OD2A: Limiting Overdose through Collaborative
Actions in Localities (LOCAL) (OD2A: LOCAL) programs. OD2A-S and OD2A:
LOCAL are cooperative agreements funded in 2023 to focus on
comprehensive and interdisciplinary opioid overdose prevention efforts
in 49 state health departments, 39 localities, Puerto Rico, and
Washington, DC. Each program consists of two required components--a
surveillance component and a prevention component. OD2A recipients
implement a combination of activities across nine State strategies and
eight local strategies within these components to gain access to high
quality and complete data on opioid prescribing and overdoses. The data
is used to inform prevention and response efforts in their
jurisdictions.
CDC developed and deployed a technical assistance (TA) hub
(hereafter referred to as the OD2A TA Center) to deliver comprehensive
technical assistance and training to support the successful
implementation and evaluation of surveillance and prevention
activities. The OD2A TA Center is designed to enhance the efficiency,
coordination, and effectiveness of TA efforts by streamlining and
centralizing the provision of overdose surveillance and prevention TA.
TA to OD2A recipients is divided into four different levels with
multiple modes of TA delivery and involves a wide range of TA providers
including CDC staff, internal and external subject matter experts
(SMEs) and program partners.
The evaluation consists of web-based surveys designed to collect
process and outcome measures about TA access, utilization, and outcomes
across all OD2A recipient programs. The Technical Assistance Feedback
Form will be administered to collect immediate feedback following
individual TA encounters and group events such as webinars and in-
person trainings. The Annual OD2A TA Survey will be distributed twice
(mid-point and final) to assess satisfaction with overall TA provided
and the extent to which TA supports informed implementation of OD2A
strategies. The information obtained through this evaluation will allow
TA providers to assess OD2A recipients' experience and utility of
knowledge and resources gained through individual TA support, peer-to-
peer sessions, and other group trainings. To capture participants'
experiences attending various Communities of
[[Page 84152]]
Practice held by the DOP TA Center, a subset of attendees will be
invited to participate in Focus Groups. Ultimately, the evaluation data
will inform subsequent rounds of TA and allow TA providers to make
necessary adjustments to the overall TA strategy for continuous quality
improvement. This will ensure recipients have the support necessary to
implement strategies that will improve opioid surveillance and
prevention policies and practices within their communities.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 388 annual burden hours
for this collection. There are no costs to respondents other than their
time.
