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 ``Operational Readiness Review 2.0'' to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC
previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public
Comment and
[[Page 104158]]
Recommendations'' notice on June 17, 2024 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive 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
Operational Readiness Review 2.0 (OMB Control No. 0920-1352)--
Reinstatement--Office of Readiness and Response (ORR), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
To help evaluate the country's public health emergency preparedness
and response capacity, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's
Division of State and Local Readiness (DSLR) administers the Public
Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement. The PHEP
program is a critical source of funding for 62 state, local, and
territorial jurisdictions including four major metropolitan areas
(Chicago, Los Angeles County, New York City, and Washington, DC) to
build and strengthen their ability to respond to and recover from
public health emergencies. The Operational Readiness Review (ORR) is a
rigorous, evidence-based assessment used to evaluate PHEP recipients'
planning and operational functions. The purpose of the ORR 2.0 is to
expand measurement and evaluation to all 15 Public Health Emergency
Preparedness and Response Capabilities, which serve as national
standards for public health preparedness planning: 1--Community
Preparedness; 2--Community Recovery; 3--Emergency Operations
Coordination; 4--Emergency Public Information and Warning; 5--Fatality
Management; 6--Information Sharing; 7--Mass Care; 8--Medical
Countermeasure Dispensing and Administration; 9--Medical Materiel
Management and Distribution; 10--Medical Surge; 11--Nonpharmaceutical
Intervention; 12--Public Health Laboratory Testing; 13--Public Health
Surveillance and Epidemiological Investigation; 14--Responder Safety
and Health; 15--Volunteer Management.
These capabilities serve as national standards for public health
preparedness planning. The ORR 2.0 has three modules: Descriptive,
Planning, and Operational, which will allow DSLR to analyze the data
for the development of descriptive statistics and to monitor the
progress of each recipient towards performance goals. The intended
outcome of the ORR 2.0 is to assist CDC to identify strengths and
challenges facing preparedness programs across the nation and to
identify opportunities for improvement and further technical support.
Information will be collected from respondents using the new
Operational Readiness Review (ORR) 2.0 platform but a backup paper
option may be available for jurisdictions that require it. Information
collected from respondents is a requirement of the PHEP Cooperative
Agreement for participants to receive funding. This Reinstatement will
allow PHEP recipients to complete their reporting requirements for the
five-year time period of 2019-2024 PHEP Cooperative Agreement. CDC is
requesting a three-year approval for this information collection. The
total annualized burden hour estimate is 3055 burden hours. There is no
cost to respondents other than their time.
