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 ``Drug Overdose Surveillance and Epidemiology 
(DOSE)'' 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 
7, 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:

[[Page 24626]]

    (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

    Drug Overdose Surveillance and Epidemiology (DOSE) (OMB Control No. 
0920-1268, Exp. 09/30/25)--Revision--National Center for Injury 
Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In 2022, a total of 107,941 drug overdose deaths occurred, 
corresponding to an age-adjusted rate of 32.6 per 100,000 population, 
quadruple from the 2002 rate (8.2). From 2021 to 2022, the synthetic 
opioid-involved death rate other than methadone increased 4.1%, from 
21.8 to 22.7 per 100,000. The psychostimulant-involved age-adjusted 
death rate increased more than 34 times, from 0.3 in 2002 to 10.4 in 
2022. Two states had a significant increase in non-fatal overdoses 
between 2023 and 2024 (DOSE dashboard). In response to the growing 
severity of the opioid overdose epidemic, the US government declared 
the opioid overdose epidemic a public health emergency on October 26, 
2017. The opioid overdose epidemic is one of the U.S. Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS) top priorities. In 2021, HHS expanded 
their Overdose Prevention Strategy to focus on four strategic 
priorities: primary prevention, harm reduction, evidence-based 
treatment, and recovery support.
    DOSE 2.0 is a critical element in the support of research and 
surveillance to collect more timely and more specific data through 
accelerating the speed at which CDC reports drug overdose data. DOSE 
2.0 data collection integrates, expands, and enhances previous data 
sharing efforts with public health departments initiated under ESOOS 
and DOSE 1.0. The goal of DOSE 2.0 is to conduct surveillance of 
approximately 80% of all ED facilities in a given jurisdiction for drug 
overdoses through the end of the OD2A-S cooperative agreement in 2028. 
In 2023, OD2A-S provided funding for 90 jurisdictions: 49 states and 
the District of Columbia share data with DOSE 2.0. Though we had hoped 
to capture data from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, only 
49 states and the District of Columbia applied for this funding 
announcement.
    Drug Overdose Surveillance and Epidemiology (DOSE) system will 
leverage ED syndromic data, as well as line-level emergency department 
(ED) and inpatient hospitalization discharge data on ED visits already 
routinely collected by state health departments and the District of 
Columbia health department. No new data will be systematically 
collected from EDs, and health departments will be reimbursed by CDC 
for the burden related to sharing ED data with CDC. DOSE system funds 
50 health departments (49 state health departments and the health 
department of the District of Columbia; ND is the only state not funded 
of the 50 states). For DOSE Syndromic Surveillance (SyS) data, 48 
health departments (OK and CA do not participate in SyS) will rapidly 
share existing ED data with CDC monthly.
    Funding for DOSE 2.0 was awarded in September 2023 and we are 
requesting an additional three years of data collection to match the 
OD2A-S NOFO funding period. Revisions are requested to revise the 
number of eligible states, change the data collection template and 
revise burden. Based on current data sharing from states we have 
decreased our burden estimate to 655 from 975 hours.
