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 Monitoring and Reporting for the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) Cooperative Agreement. OD2A funds 90 health departments to collect and use data to drive action to reduce overdose deaths as quickly as possible, focusing on populations at the greatest risk of overdose.

notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled Monitoring and Reporting for the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A)
Cooperative Agreement. OD2A funds 90 health departments to collect and
use data to drive action to reduce overdose deaths as quickly as
possible, focusing on populations at the greatest risk of overdose.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before February 13,
2026.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2025-
0948 by either of the following methods:

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.
Proposed Project
Monitoring and Reporting for the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A)
Cooperative Agreement (OMB Control No. 0920-1283, Exp. 05/31/2026)--
Revision--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In response to the growing severity of the opioid overdose
epidemic, the U.S. government declared the opioid overdose epidemic a
public health emergency on October 26, 2017. The opioid overdose
epidemic is one of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) top priorities. Opioids are nested in a complex polysubstance
epidemic, largely driven by deaths involving illicitly manufactured
fentanyl and co-involving opioids and stimulants, such as cocaine and
methamphetamine. Although the overdose epidemic has broadened in scope,
provisional data estimate that the United States (U.S.) had a decline
of nearly 27% in drug overdose deaths
[[Page 58019]]
between 2023 and 2024. This marked success emphasizes the need to
continue this life-saving work. There is continued urgency to address
the magnitude of the drug overdose epidemic in the U.S., given that
2024 witnessed an estimated 83,391 drug overdose deaths. Consequently,
it is imperative that prevention strategies that have been at the
forefront of reducing drug overdose deaths in the U.S. continue to be
employed and supported by public health departments and partners
working across settings and sectors.
CDC's NCIPC Division of Overdose Prevention (DOP) has a
comprehensive portfolio of overdose surveillance and prevention
efforts, including its flagship Overdose Data to Action (OD2A)
cooperative agreements (CoAgs). The purpose of OD2A in States (OD2A-S)
(CDC-RFA-CE23-0002) and OD2A: Limiting Overdose through Collaborative
Actions in Localities (OD2A: LOCAL) (CDC-RFA-CE23-0003) is to support
funded jurisdictions in obtaining high quality, complete, and timelier
data on opioid prescribing and overdoses involving opioids, stimulants,
and polysubstance use, and to use those data to inform prevention and
response efforts. OD2A-S focuses on overdose surveillance and
prevention efforts conducted by health departments across 49 states and
the District of Columbia. OD2A: LOCAL focuses on overdose surveillance
and prevention efforts by 39 health departments in cities and counties
and Puerto Rico. This is a request to continue the currently approved
Information Collection Requests (OMB Control No. 0920-1283, Exp. 05/31/
2026), to ensure that required work plan and annual performance report
(APR) data can be submitted by all 90 funded OD2A in States (n=50) and
OD2A: LOCAL recipients (n=40). This request is for a three-year period
to ensure that all reporting can be completed for these cooperative
agreements.
Revisions are requested to remove previously approved data
collection instruments that are no longer active for ongoing data
collection purposes and revise burden. Data collection instruments
being inactivated include Evaluation and Performance Measurement Plan
Templates, Data Management Plan Templates, Organizational Capacity
Assessment--Annual Reporting, and Activity Progress Report and Work
Plan Tool--Annual Reporting. No additional burden has been added;
however, based on the removal of previously approved instruments the
burden decreased from 1,343 hours to 1,080 hours. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time to participate.
