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 ``One Health Harmful Algal Bloom System
(OHHABS)'' 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 November
8, 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
One Health Harmful Algal Bloom System (OHHABS) (OMB Control No.
0920-1105, Exp. 11/30/2025)--Revision--National Center for Emerging
Zoonotic and Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are the rapid growth of algae or
cyanobacteria (also called blue-green algae) that can cause harm to
people, animals, or the local ecology. Algal toxins from harmful algal
blooms include some of the most potent natural chemicals; these toxins
can contaminate surface water used for recreation and drinking, as well
as food sources. HABs pose a threat to both humans and animals. Human
and animal illnesses from exposures to HABs in fresh and marine waters
have been documented in the United States. Animal illness may be an
indicator of bloom toxicity; thus, it is necessary to provide a One
Health approach for reporting HAB-associated illnesses and events.
Updates to OHHABS were made to better align with HAB information as
we know it today. Changes include: (1) removing questions that no
longer need to be assessed; (2) adding new questions to assess emerging
needs; (3) streamlining data collection methods; and (4) re-wording of
existing questions to better align with Agency standards and other OMB-
approved questionnaires.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 73 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
