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.
[[Page 24241]]
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.
