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 ``Overdose Response Strategy Data
Collection'' 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 October
21, 2024 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC
received three public 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
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 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 data collection 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 annual 653 annual burden
hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to
participate.
