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 Healthcare Prevention and Response Workforce Development for Health Departments. The proposed workforce development evaluations will be used to assess whether the CDC-developed workforce development activities are reaching the intended audience and achieving the intended goal of strengthening public health workforce capacity to prevent and respond to Healthcare-Associated Infection and Antibiotic Resistance (HAI/AR) outbreaks at the individual trainee and program level.

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 Healthcare Prevention and Response Workforce Development for
Health Departments. The proposed workforce development evaluations will
be used to assess whether the CDC-developed workforce development
activities are reaching the intended audience and achieving the
intended goal of strengthening public health workforce capacity to
prevent and respond to Healthcare-Associated Infection and Antibiotic
Resistance (HAI/AR) outbreaks at the individual trainee and program
level.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before March 18, 2025.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2025-
0004 by either of the following methods:
<bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow

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
Healthcare-Associated Infections and Antimicrobial Resistance (HAI/
R) Programs Response and Prevention Workforce Development Activities--
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 65 state, local, and territorial health
departments. Funding is awarded through the Epidemiology and Laboratory
Capacity 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.
CDC has developed various workforce development activities
including high-priority trainings requested by the health department
programs and CDC site visits. The goal of these activities is to
strengthen public health workforce capacity to prevent and respond to
HAI/AR outbreaks in healthcare settings and prepare for other emerging
healthcare threats. Additionally, the evaluation data collected will be
used to improve future CDC-developed resources.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 455 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
