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 ``Awardee Lead Profile Assessment (ALPA)'' 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 13, 2026 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.
    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

    Awardee Lead Profile Assessment (ALPA) (OMB Control No. 0920-1215, 
Exp. 5/31/2026)--Revision--National Center for Environmental Health 
(NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is requesting 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) Clearance for a three-year Revision of an 
information collection request (ICR) titled Awardee Lead Profile 
Assessment (ALPA) (OMB Control No. 0920-1215; Exp. 5/31/2026). The goal 
of this ICR is to build on CDC's existing childhood lead poisoning 
prevention program. CDC requires that CDC-funded Childhood Lead 
Poisoning Prevention Programs (CLPPPs), including those funded under 
the current Notice of Funding Opportunity Childhood Lead Poisoning 
Prevention and Surveillance of Blood Lead Levels in Children (CDC-RFA-
EH21-2102), complete the ALPA annually.
    CDC can use this information to inform guidance, resource 
development, and technical assistance to support eliminating lead 
exposure in children. Data will be aggregated by jurisdiction, shared 
with CDC-funded CLPPPs, and used in response to inquiries by the 
public, press, and Congress. The dissemination of results will support 
the ability for both funded and non-funded jurisdictions to: (1) 
identify policies and strategies that support or hinder childhood lead 
poisoning prevention efforts; and (2) develop and implement similar 
interventions to improve childhood lead poisoning prevention.
    This program management information collection has been revised in 
several ways, including the addition of new response options and 
questions as well as simpler language and structure.
    <bullet> The electronic data collection tool was updated from Epi 
Info to the REDCap platform to improve functionality and streamline 
data management.
    <bullet> The section on local laws was removed to focus solely on 
programs receiving surveillance funding, ensuring greater relevance and 
consistency.
    <bullet> Questions were revised to clarify those that were unclear 
or difficult to interpret.
    <bullet> Redundant or overlapping questions and response choices 
were combined where appropriate for clarity and to reduce respondent 
burden.
    <bullet> The previous alphanumeric question labels were replaced 
with a fully numeric system, creating a cleaner and more organized 
survey format.
    The revisions on the survey will slightly affect the total time 
burden requested as the time to take the survey has increased from 47 
minutes per response in 2021 to 53 minutes per response in 2025. This 
estimate is based on pilot tests of the revised survey among five 
respondents and includes the time needed to review the ALPA Training 
Manual. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 66 annual burden 
hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to 
participate.
