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 continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Sudden Death in the Young. The goal of the Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) data collection is to improve and standardize ascertainment of deaths so that funded jurisdictions can better understand the incidence and risk factors for sudden death in youth.

Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice with comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 continuing information 
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This 
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project 
titled Sudden Death in the Young.
    The goal of the Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) data collection is 
to improve and standardize ascertainment of deaths so that funded 
jurisdictions can better understand the incidence and risk factors for 
sudden death in youth.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before August 15, 2025.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2025-
0019 by either of the following methods:
    <bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow 
the instructions for submitting comments.
    <bullet> Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review 
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road 
NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments 
to <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
    Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking 
portal (<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>) or by U.S. mail to the address listed 
above.

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.

Background and Brief Description

    Estimates of the annual incidence of Sudden Death in the Young 
(SDY) vary broadly due to differences in case definitions, 
inconsistencies in classifying cause of death on death certificates, 
study populations, and case ascertainment. To address the need for 
improved estimates of SDY incidence and its epidemiology based on 
uniform cases definitions, CDC, in collaboration with NIH's National 
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and National Institute of 
Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), implemented the SDY Case 
Registry in 2015. To meet the ongoing need to produce accurate and 
uniform information, CDC, and NIH continued the SDY Case Registry in 
2018 with 13 recipients through a CDC-based cooperative agreement 
program (DP18-1806). In 2023, a new cooperative agreement program began 
with 12 recipients (DP23-0006) was launched by CDC with continued 
support from NIH. The current revision seeks to revise burden hour 
estimates, modify responses for data elements collected, and to extend 
OMB approval for a period of three years.
    CDC recipients agree to compile a defined set of SDY information 
about a defined subset of child deaths through the jurisdiction's/
state's existing CDR program. CDC estimates that the 12 participating 
states/jurisdictions will collect data on approximately 606 SDY cases 
per year. Each of the 12 CDC-funded state/jurisdiction awardees will, 
on average, review and enter data on 51 of 606 cases each year. Burden 
is estimated for reporting required case information. It is estimated 
that approximately half (303) of the estimated 606 SDY cases will 
undergo advanced clinical review by a team of three medical experts.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. The total estimated 
annual burden is 438 hours which is a decrease of 73 hours from the 
previously approved information collection request due to a decrease in 
the number of participating states/local jurisdictions from 13 to 12. 
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
