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 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.

Tracking Network (Tracking Network)—

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001

Existing Collection in Use without an
OMB Control Number—National Center
for Environmental Health (NCEH),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In September, 2000, the Pew
Environmental Health Commission
issued a report entitled ‘‘America’s
Environmental Health Gap: Why the
Country Needs a Nationwide Health
Tracking Network.’’ In this report, the
Commission documented that the
existing environmental health systems
were inadequate and fragmented and
recommended a ‘‘Nationwide Health
Tracking Network for disease and
exposures.’’ In response to the report,
Congress appropriated funds in the
fiscal year 2002’s budget for the CDC to
establish the National Environmental
Public Health Tracking Network
(Tracking Network).
Continuously since 2008, and at the
national level, the program collects data
from (1) other CDC programs such as the
National Center for Health Statistics, (2)
other federal agencies such as the
Environmental Protection Agency, (3)
publically accessible systems such as
the Census Bureau, and (4) funded and
unfunded state and local health
departments (SLHD). These data are
integrated into and disseminated from
the Tracking Network and used for
analyses which can inform national
programs, interventions, or policies;
guide further development and
activities within the Tracking Program;
or advance the practice and science of
environmental public health tracking.
The Tracking Program also collects
information from funded SLHD to
monitor their progress related to their
funding and for program evaluation.
This information collection request is
focused on data and information
gathered by the Tracking Program from
SLHD.
Due to voluntary program efforts to
continuously improve compliance, the
CDC recently determined that the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) should
apply to the Tracking Network
collections. Thus, the CDC requests a
three-year PRA clearance to collect
these data.
One part of the collection involves
health, exposure, and hazard data from
SLHD. The Tracking Network provides
the United States with accurate and
timely standardized data from existing
health, exposure, and hazard
surveillance systems and supports
ongoing efforts within the public health
and environmental sectors. The goal of
the Tracking Network is to improve
health tracking, exposure and hazard

monitoring, and response capacity.
When such data are available, the
Tracking Program obtains data from
national or public sources in order to
reduce the burden on SLHD. When data
are not available nationally or
publically, the Tracking Program relies
on funded SLHD to obtain and submit
these data to the Tracking Network. Data
from unfunded SLHD are accepted but
not requested or solicited.
Data submitted annually by SLHD to
the Tracking Program include: (1) Birth
defects prevalence,(2) childhood lead
blood levels, if a SLHD does not already
report such data to CDC, (3) community
drinking water monitoring, (4)
emergency department visits, (5)
hospitalizations, and (6) radon testing.
The Tracking Program receives
childhood lead blood levels data from
CDC’s Childhood Lead Poisoning
Prevention Program (under the Healthy
Homes and Lead Poisoning Surveillance
System [HHLPSS—OMB Control No.
0920–0931, expiration date 5/31/2018]).
A metadata record, a file describing the
original source and collection
procedures for the data being submitted,
is also submitted with each dataset (1
per dataset for a total of 6 metadata
records per year) using the Tracking
Program’s metadata creation tool.
Standardized extraction, formatting,
and submission processes are developed
in collaboration between CDC and
SLHD for each dataset. Additions or
modifications to these standardized
datasets will also be developed
collaboratively in order to improve the
accuracy, completeness, efficiency, or
utility of data submitted to CDC. Such
changes will occur at most once a year.
Examples of changes to data processes
may include: (1) Addition of new
variables or outcomes, (2) updates to
case definitions, (3) modifications to
temporal or spatial aggregation, and (4)
changes in formatting for submission.
As required, the Tracking Network will
submit future additions and
modifications as non-substantive change
requests or revision information
collection requests.
The other part of the collection
involves program monitoring
information from funded SLHD. In
addition to standard reporting required
by CDC’s Procurement and Grants
Office, the Tracking Program also
collects information from funded SLHD
for the purposes of program evaluation
and monitoring. This information
includes performance measures
collected quarterly, a communications
plan collected annually, an earned
values management report collected
quarterly, an evaluation plan collected
annually, and Web site analytics

collected quarterly as documents
emailed to the Tracking Program.
There are no costs for the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated time burden is 25,320 hours.
This estimate includes the time it takes
to extract the data from the original data
source(s), standardize and format the

data to match the corresponding
Tracking Network data form, and submit
the data to the Tracking Network. In
some cases, the data at the source are
centralized and easily extracted. In
other cases, like for radon data, the data
are not. In those cases, the number of
hours for extracting and standardizing

the data is much greater. Four
respondents have been added to the 26
SLHDs the program currently funds to
account for the data voluntarily received
from unfunded SLHDs and to allow for
potential program growth over the next
three years.
