Background and Brief Description
Overdose deaths involving
prescription opioids and heroin have
reached epidemic levels in the U.S. and
continue to rise. To address the
prescription drug/opioid overdose
crisis, the federal government has
recently allocated funding to improve
access to treatment for opioid use
disorders, reduce opioid related deaths,
and strengthen drug misuse prevention
efforts. One program resulting from the
federal government’s efforts to address
the opioid crisis is, the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Agency
(SAMHSA) Grants to Prevent
Prescription Drug/Opioid OverdoseRelated Deaths (PDO/naloxone grant).
This collection will be to evaluate the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Agency (SAMHSA) Grants to
Prevent Prescription Drug/Opioid
Overdose-Related Deaths.
This evaluation will seek to describe
and understand the scope and impact of
the program on overdose. To address the
prescription drug/opioid overdose

The intended use of the resulting data
is to increase CDC and SAMHSA
understanding of the scope and impact
of the program on overdose fatalities
and how program effectiveness may
vary among different sub-populations
and settings, and to increase knowledge
of barriers and facilitators to program
implementation. Key informant
interviews and focus groups with
participants in the activities enacted by
the twelve state grant recipients will be
methodology used. This will include
state administrators of the grant and
other PDO/Naloxone stakeholders
including advisory council members,
first responders, social service
providers, laypersons including end
users and their family and friend. All
focus groups and interviews will be
analyzed through qualitative content
analysis, including utilization of a
systematic coding scheme.
Total burden in hours for this
collection is 381. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

Through this program, SAMHSA
awarded funding to 12 states. The
funding is aimed at reducing the
number of prescription drug/opioid
overdose-related deaths and adverse
events among individuals 18 years of
age and older through educating and
training first responders and other key
community sectors on the prevention of
prescription drug/opioid overdoserelated deaths, including the purchase
and distribution of naloxone. SAMHSA
is funding the grant and CDC is
responsible for conducting the grantee

number 0920–1054, Expiration 03/31/

Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2015, CDC received OMB approval
(OMB control number 0920–1054) for a
new OMB generic clearance for a threeyear period to collect information to
respond to urgent requests from state
and local health authorities to provide
epidemiological information that allows
for the selection of interventions to curb
local epidemics of drug overdose. CDC
seeks OMB approval for an extension of
this generic plan for another three-year
period.

to urgent requests from state and local
health authorities to provide
epidemiological information that allows

local epidemics of drug overdose. Of
particular interest is response to
increasing trends in, or changing
characteristics of, overdose from
prescription drugs (with a special
interest in opioid analgesics such as
oxycodone or methadone;
benzodiazepines such as alprazolam)
and/or illicit drugs (e.g., heroin). CDC’s
National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC) is frequently called
upon to conduct DORIs at the request of
state or local health authorities seeking
support to respond to urgent public
health problems resulting from drug
use, misuse, abuse, and overdose. Such
requests are typically, but not always,
made through CDC’s Epi-Aid
mechanism; in most investigations,
CDC’s epidemiological response entails
rapid and flexible collection of data that
evolves during the investigation period.
Generic clearance is requested to
ensure that timely information is
collected during a DORI, which allows
NCIPC to maintain critical mission
function by working with state and local
health authorities to protect the public’s
health. During an unanticipated rise in
nonfatal or fatal drug overdose where
the substances responsible for the health
event need to be identified, drivers and
risk factors are undetermined, and/or
subgroups at risk need to be identified,
immediate action by CDC is necessary to
minimize or prevent public harm. CDC
must have the ability to rapidly deploy
data collection tools to understand the
scope of the problem and determine
appropriate action. Procedures for each
investigation, including specific data
collection plans, depend on the time
and resources available, number of
persons involved, and other
circumstances unique to the urgent
conditions at hand. Data are collected
by epidemiologists, psychologists,
medical professionals, subject matter
experts, and biostatisticians.
Data collected during a DORI are used
to understand sudden increases in drug
use and misuse associated with fatal
and nonfatal overdoses, understand the
drivers and risk factors associated with
those trends, and identify the groups
most affected. This allows CDC to
effectively advise states on actions that
could be taken to control the local
epidemic. During a DORI, data are
collected once, with the rare need for
follow-up. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

ships. VSP operates under the authority
of the Public Health Service Act
(Section 361 of the Public Health
Service Act; 42 U.S.C. 264, ‘‘Control of
Communicable Diseases’’). Regulations
found at 42 CFR 71.41 (Foreign
Quarantine—Requirements Upon
Arrival at U.S. Ports: Sanitary
Inspection; General Provisions) state
that carriers arriving at U.S. ports from
foreign areas are subject to sanitary
inspections to determine whether
rodent, insect, or other vermin
infestations exist, contaminated food or
water, or other sanitary conditions
requiring measures for the prevention of
the introduction, transmission, or
spread of communicable diseases are
present.
The fee schedule for sanitation
inspections of passenger cruise ships by
VSP was first published in the Federal
Register on November 24, 1987 (52 FR
45019). HHS/CDC began collecting fees
on March 1, 1988. This notice
announces fees that are effective for FY
2018, beginning on October 1, 2017,
