provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search

Proposed Project
Sudden Death in the Young
Registry—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Every year, infants, children and
youth die suddenly and unexpectedly
from previously undiagnosed
conditions. Little is known about the
risk factors leading to SDY, although
underlying genetic conditions
contribute in some cases. For example,
the risk of SDY is known to be higher
for infants and children with heartrelated conditions or neurological
conditions such as epilepsy. However,
estimates of the annual incidence of
Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) vary
broadly due to differences in
definitions, inconsistencies in
classifying cause of death on death
certificates, differing case ascertainment
methodologies, and other factors.
To address this gap in knowledge, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), the National Heart,
Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and
the National Institute for Neurological
Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) are
collaborating with selected states and
partner organizations to create the
Sudden Death in the Young Registry
(SDYr). The SDYr will establish the first
uniform reporting system for SDY based
on shared standards for reviewing and
classifying deaths involving infants and
children <19 years of age, and the
systematic participation of individuals
with expertise in key medical
specialties. Up to 15 state health
departments will receive funding from
CDC to report standardized information
to a central database for compilation
and analysis. In addition, each awardee

will establish an advanced clinical
review team consisting of a forensic
pathologist, neurologist, epileptologist,
and pediatric cardiologist to supplement
its existing Child Death Review (CDR)
process. Specialized medical expertise
is essential to the accurate
determination of cause of death.
The SDYr will build on ongoing
collaborations involving state-based
child death review teams, CDC, the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), the
Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), and the
National Center for the Review and
Prevention of Child Deaths (NCRPCD) at
the Michigan Public Health Institute
(MPHI). The MPHI–NCRPCD is a nonprofit organization dedicated to
preventing child deaths and serious
injuries. The MPHI–NCRPCD provides
technical assistance and training on
death scene investigation, and
prevention strategies, to partner
organizations including state and local
governments. The MPHI–NCRPCD also
supports a Web-based National Child
Death Review Case Reporting System
that states can use on a voluntary basis
to manage their state-specific CDR data.
The system is currently used by 43
states free of charge. Due to variability
in case definitions and reporting
procedures, the system does not
produce national estimates, but serves
as a vital repository of information to
facilitate state-based surveillance and
public health activities.
Utilizing MPHI–NCRPCD Case
Reporting System (CRS) infrastructure,
MPHI and CDC have previously
collaborated with nine states to
strengthen case definition and
surveillance for sudden unexpected
infant death (SUID) involving infants <
one year of age. The SDYr will build on
this collaboration by increasing the
number of participating states,
systematically engaging key medical
experts in the review of deaths of
children <19 years of age, and requiring
the collection and reporting of
standardized data elements. States
participating in the SDYr will report
information through a special module
called the NCRPCD–CRS–SDY Module.
This information collection procedure
was selected due to its familiarity to the
majority of states, MPHI’s successful
collaborations with multiple partners,
and shared interest in developing and
promulgating best practices for the
identification, classification, and
prevention of SDY.
De-identified information collected
through the SDYr will be used to
generate estimates of the prevalence of
SDY due to cardiac and neurologic
conditions; to elucidate risk factors; and

E:\FR\FM\03NON1.SGM

03NON1

65218

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 212 / Monday, November 3, 2014 / Notices

to develop evidence-based prevention
strategies for SDY. The SDYr will also
create the infrastructure for future
expanded research. CDC is authorized to
collect this information by Section 241
of the Public Health Service Act [42
U.S.C. 241].
CDC estimates that the participating
states will collect data on approximately
1,000 SDY cases per year (20–150 per

state, with an average of 67 per state).
No information will be collected
directly from family members of the
deceased. CDC estimates that each
specialist on the advanced clinical
review team will devote 15 minutes to
the review and completion of the
autopsy check list and other records
associated with each death reported

through the SDYr. For participating
state health departments, the estimated
burden for entering each case into the
case reporting system is 30 minutes.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Reporting is required for
cooperative agreement awardees. There
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.

Background and Brief Description
On October 30, 2000, the Energy
Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act of 2000 (42
U.S.C. 7384–7385) was enacted. This
Act established a federal compensation
program for employees of the
Department of Energy (DOE) and certain
of its contractors, subcontractors and
vendors, who have suffered cancers and
other designated illnesses as a result of
exposures sustained in the production
and testing of nuclear weapons.
Executive Order 13179, issued on
December 7, 2000, delegated authorities
assigned to ‘‘the President’’ under the
Act to the Departments of Labor (DOL),
Health and Human Services, Energy and
Justice. The Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) was delegated
the responsibility of establishing
methods for estimating radiation doses
received by eligible claimants with
cancer applying for compensation.
NIOSH is applying the following
methods to estimate the radiation doses
of individuals applying for
compensation.
In performance of its dose
reconstruction responsibilities, under
the Act, NIOSH is providing voluntary
interview opportunities to claimants (or
their survivors) individually and
providing them with the opportunity to
assist NIOSH in documenting the work
history of the employee by
characterizing the actual work tasks
performed. In addition, NIOSH and the
claimant may identify incidents that
