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.
