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.

collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for
Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct written

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.
