[60Day-24-24EE; Docket No. CDC-2024-0023]
Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 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 proposed information
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled DFWED National Hypothesis Generation and Investigation Module.
The proposed data collection will define a core set of standardized
data elements and forms used for outbreak investigations and
surveillance activities for a variety of enteric illnesses.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before June 4, 2024.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2024-
0023 by either of the following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov. Follow
the instructions for submitting comments.
Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road
NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments
to www.regulations.gov.
Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking
portal (www.regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the address listed
above.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan
and instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection
Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton
Road NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329; Telephone: 404-639-7570;
Email: [email protected].
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
DFWED National Hypothesis Generation and Investigation Module--
New--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases
(DFWED) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) aims to
protect public health through the prevention and control of disease,
disability, and death caused by foodborne, enteric, waterborne, and
environmentally transmitted infections. To overcome challenges
presented by the changing landscape of enteric diseases, the need for
comprehensive hypothesis generating questionnaires focused on a range
of settings, activities, and potential modes of transmission are
essential to guide prevention and control activities. The submitted
forms standardize hypothesis generating instruments used during enteric
disease outbreak investigations and surveillance. This includes
foodborne, waterborne, and zoonotic disease surveillance and outbreak
investigations. In addition, enhanced surveillance for antibiotic
resistant isolates is also included in this package.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 5,852 annual burden
hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to
participate.
