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 ``U.S. National Authority for Containment of
Poliovirus Data Collection Tools'' 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 4, 2024, to obtain comments from
the public and affected agencies. CDC received no 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--

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
U.S. National Authority for Containment of Poliovirus Data
Collection Tools (OMB Control No. 0920-1424, Exp. 12/31/2026)--
Revision--Office of Readiness and Response (ORR), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The role of the National Authority for Containment of Poliovirus
(U.S. NAC) is to ensure that the requirements established for
poliovirus containment standards are effectively implemented and
maintained in facilities working with or storing infectious poliovirus
or potentially infectious materials. Risk assessments following an
incident are a critical component for adequate application of the
poliovirus containment standard. To support risk assessment activities,
the ``Facility Incident Reporting Form for Poliovirus Release and
Potential Exposure'' and the ``Facility Incident Reporting Form for
Poliovirus Theft or Loss'' were created for facilities to capture and
submit incident information to the U.S. NAC. These forms will not only
address the biosafety and biosecurity containment emergency elements
but will also inform the U.S. NAC risk assessments and thereby, guide
CDC's determination of the emergency response level and direction.
The information collected in the ``Personal Protective Equipment
Survey for Laboratories'' will assist the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), U.S. NAC and National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) with developing guidance and recommendations
for PPE selection and use in support of poliovirus containment as well
as identify laboratory PPE commonly used to evaluate laboratory PPE
performance characteristics in testing studies.
Information collected in the ``Global Action Plan (GAP) Poliovirus
Containment Poliovirus-Essential Facility Assessment Checklist'' will
be discontinued and removed from this ICR package.
Data collected from the ``Global Action Plan (GAP) Poliovirus
Containment Poliovirus-Essential Facility Questionnaire'' will collect
additional information on poliovirus materials held by a U.S. facility,
their work activities, and facility features.
The ``Poliovirus Containment Sampling Plan and Sanitation
Assessment Form for Wastewater (WW) Systems Supporting a Poliovirus-
Essential Facility (PEF) in the United States'' will collect
information to assess poliovirus facility's wastewater system, the
primary safeguards to reduce and control the release of poliovirus from
the facility. In addition, it will verify the safeguards of local
wastewater utilities that receive wastewater from the PEF.
The ''Appeals and Complaints'' form is a new form that will be made
available by the U.S. National Authority for Containment of Poliovirus,
will allow facilities or persons to appeal or forward complaints based
on services provided. This form can be used to appeal or initiate
complaints regarding specific survey outreach that has been conducted
or decisions rendered by the audit team after an audit.
OMB approval is sought for three years. CDC requests OMB approval
for an estimated 109 annual burden hours for this information
collection. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
