	Date Received in OIRA: 10/29/2019
Terms of Clearance: Previous terms continue: OMB clears on this ICR consistent with the understanding that DUIP/NCIPC will continue to devote resources to maximizing the long-term value of CDC’s investment in working with State health departments and medical examiners/coroners to improve the timeliness of fatal overdose surveillance. More specifically, DUIP/NCIPC will continue to collaborate with NCHS (who has the lead in working with States vital records agencies) on developing a standardized, efficient, and sustainable approaches to incorporating mutually agreed upon data elements into State death certificates. CDC will continue to update OMB on its ongoing efforts regarding multi-state piloting and broad implementation of electronic death reporting. Efforts moving forward will focus on foundations necessary for interoperable toxicology data, including the feasibility and utility of automatically importing toxicology test results, as well as common toxicology standards and efforts to create and maintain a national drug list. OMB is approving this information collection request for a period of three years during which time CDC will request approval to extend or revise the collection if the agency seeks to continue the information collection activity beyond the period approved under this action.

Abstract: The purpose of this information collection is to detect state and local community changes in unintentional and undetermined intent drug-related overdose mortality and provide in-depth state and local (e.g., county) information on risk factors for fatal drug overdose deaths (opioid and non-opioid). State public health departments will be funded to abstract standardized data elements from medical examiner/coroner (ME/C) reports as well as death certificates and will report this information to CDC using a web-based platform. Findings will be used to inform the selection and targeting of interventions in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. CDC requests OMB approval for 3 years.
