SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

(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 OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information

technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
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
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

exist in capacity to address current EH
issues and future challenges.
The respondent universe will be the
estimated 20,000 EH professionals
working within health departments.
They will be enumerated and recruited
by identifying a point of contact in each
state, local, tribal, and territorial health
department from whom a roster of EH
professionals will be requested. A list of
respondents and their business email
addresses will be generated and used for
recruitment and survey administration.
Any contact information collected will
be related to the respondents’ role in the
organization. Participation will be
voluntary.
Data will be collected one time from
a census of members of the public
health department EH workforce using a
web-based survey instrument. The
UNCOVER EH Survey will take
approximately 30 minutes to complete
per respondent, and it will take
approximately 5 minutes for health
department administrative staff to
compile EH workforce names and email
addresses into the Health Department
Roster.
There will be no cost to respondents
other than their time. The requested
time burden is 10,269 hours.

Background and Brief Description
The environmental health (EH)
workforce is an essential component of
the public health workforce. According
to recent health department surveys, EH
professionals are employed at
approximately 85% of local health
departments, 81% of state health
departments, and 30% of tribal health
departments. Describing and
characterizing the EH workforce is
essential to identifying gaps in staffing,
training, and ultimately ensuring EH
professionals are prepared to meet
future challenges.
CDC seeks OMB approval for a onetime, one-year information collection
designed to thoroughly describe the
health department EH workforce on: (1)
The current supply of EH professionals;
(2) EH workforce demographics and
professional roles; (3) gaps in current
EH education and competencies and
training needs; and (4) critical skills and
resources needed to meet the evolving
and emerging EH issues and challenges.
This information will benefit the
government and other entities by
providing essential data to inform and
support workforce development
activities and initiatives and understand
areas of practice and where gaps may
