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 Overdose Response Strategy Data Collection. This data collection will allow Overdose Response Strategy (ORS) teams and their partners to provide critical data to CDC for program monitoring and achieve the goal of supporting public health and public safety partnerships to reduce drug overdose.

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 Overdose Response Strategy Data Collection. This data collection
will allow Overdose Response Strategy (ORS) teams and their partners to
provide critical data to CDC for program monitoring and achieve the
goal of supporting public health and public safety partnerships to
reduce drug overdose.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before December 20,
2024.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2024-
0076 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

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
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
Overdose Response Strategy Data Collection--New--National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Drug overdoses remain the leading cause of injury-related death in
the United States. CDC predicts that around 108,000 Americans died from
a drug overdose in the 12-month period ending December 2023. Recently,
overdose deaths have been linked to the rapid
[[Page 84149]]
increase in synthetic opioids, including illicitly manufactured
fentanyl (IMF), and a resurgence of stimulants, particularly
methamphetamine, into the illegal drug supply.
Multisector collaboration is critical to preventing overdoses and
saving lives. Two key sectors in this response are public health and
public safety, as they are both on the front lines and both tasked with
improving community safety and well-being. CDC demonstrates strong
commitment to public health/public safety partnerships through
implementation of several national programs, including the Overdose
Response Strategy (ORS).
ORS teams support public health and public safety entities in their
jurisdictions by:
<bullet> Sharing data systems to inform rapid and effective
community overdose prevention efforts.
<bullet> Supporting immediate, evidence-based response efforts that
can directly reduce overdose deaths.
<bullet> Designing and using promising strategies at the
intersection of public health and public safety.
<bullet> Disseminating information to support the implementation of
evidence-informed overdose prevention strategies.
As the ORS is one of CDC's flagship overdose prevention programs,
and partnering with public safety is one of CDC's key overdose
prevention strategies, a greater understanding of the impact and
effectiveness of the ORS is needed to inform program enhancements and
improvements. This ICR focuses on a survey and a reporting tool that
ORS teams and their partners will complete to provide critical data to
CDC for program monitoring, to inform technical assistance and guidance
documents produced by CDC or other partners, and to assess the extent
to which the ORS program is achieving the goal of supporting public
health and public safety partnerships to reduce drug overdose. It will
also provide CDC with the capacity to respond in a timely manner to
requests for information about the program from the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), the White House, Congress, and other
sources. Information collected will be disseminated to ORS teams and to
the public via an annual Program Evaluation Report and an ORS Annual
Report. Data from both reports will largely be used to develop
programmatic reports, tools, and implementation guides for the purposes
of program improvement.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 633 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
