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 ``Combating

[[Page 37511]]

Antimicrobial Resistant Gonorrhea and Other STIs (CARGOS)'' 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 January 8, 2025 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.
    The 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

    Combating Antimicrobial Resistant Gonorrhea and Other STIs 
(CARGOS)--New--National Center for HIV, viral Hepatitis, STD, and 
Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    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 an information collection project titled 
Combating Antimicrobial Resistant Gonorrhea and Other STIs (CARGOS). 
CARGOS is a comprehensive strategy designed to streamline and improve 
the coordination of Antimicrobial Resistance (AR) surveillance and 
preparedness and response activities focused on Neisseria gonorrhoeae 
(GC), and to expand capacity to include other STIs with emerging AR in 
the United States.
    Data and isolates will be collected at participating clinics. 
Laboratory, clinical, and demographic data elements associated with 
each N. gonorrhoeae isolate will be electronically submitted to CDC. 
Data will be used to guide national recommendations for public health 
action through surveillance by supporting rapid detection of and 
response to threats of AR in STIs, monitoring trends in antimicrobial 
susceptibilities of N. gonorrhoeae strains, and identifying scalable, 
effective approaches to prevent the spread of AR in the United States. 
Changes were made to the estimated annualized burden hours, supporting 
documents, and data collection instruments to ensure compliance with 
executive orders, federal policies, and agency directives.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 4,749 annual burden 
hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to 
participate.
