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 ``CDC's Milestone Tracker App User Surveys'' 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 March 24, 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.

Proposed Project

    CDC's Milestone Tracker App User Surveys (OMB Control No. 0920-
1397, Exp. 5/31/2026)--Revision--National Center for Birth Defects and 
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks a three-
year Revision of a currently approved information collection to 
evaluate the Milestone Tracker mobile application. The Milestone 
Tracker app, developed under CDC's Learn the Signs. Act Early. program, 
supports family-engaged developmental monitoring and promotes early 
identification of developmental delays and disabilities. The purpose of 
this data collection is to assess user satisfaction, usage patterns, 
and actions taken after a missed developmental milestone or 
developmental concern is identified within the app. The information 
collected will help CDC understand how users engage with the app, 
whether follow-up actions are taken after concerns are identified, and 
how the app functions as a tool to support developmental monitoring. 
Findings will inform future improvements and ongoing program 
evaluation. Without this Revision, CDC would lose access to ongoing 
data necessary to monitor user experience, assess follow-up actions 
after identification of developmental concerns, and support continuous 
program improvement.
    This request includes one minor, non-substantive clarification to 
Parent Survey 2. A brief explanatory note was added to Question 1 to 
clarify why the question is being asked, after some respondents 
indicated confusion during prior data collection. The question wording 
and response options remain unchanged. This clarification does not 
affect the methodology, data collected, or the estimated time per 
response, which remains five (5) minutes. This Revision also reflects 
an adjustment to previously approved burden estimates. The original 
2023 burden projections were developed without historical response data 
and were based on anticipated participation levels derived from total 
app downloads. Actual data collected from 2023-2026 indicate 
substantially lower response levels. Accordingly, the number of 
respondents and total annual burden hours have been revised to align 
with observed participation trends.
    CDC requests OMB approval for a revised annual burden estimate of 
2,401 hours, a reduction of 39,266 hours from the previously approved 
41,667 hours. There are no changes to the instruments, methodology, 
frequency of collection, or time per response. There is no cost to 
respondents other than their time to participate.
