Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:

The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on a
proposed information collection project
titled Emerging Infections Program
(EIP). The EIP is a population-based
surveillance activity performed via
active, laboratory case finding that is
used for detecting, identifying, and
monitoring emerging pathogens.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before January 14,
2019.

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 the OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, we are publishing this
notice of a proposed data collection as
described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:

1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Revision—National Center for Emerging
and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Emerging Infections Programs
(EIPs) are population-based centers of
excellence established through a
network of state health departments
collaborating with academic
institutions; local health departments;
public health and clinical laboratories;
infection control professionals; and
healthcare providers. EIPs assist in
local, state, and national efforts to
prevent, control, and monitor the public
health impact of infectious diseases.
Activities of the EIPs fall into the
following general categories: (1) Active
surveillance; (2) applied public health
epidemiologic and laboratory activities;
(3) implementation and evaluation of

pilot prevention/intervention projects;
and (4) flexible response to public
health emergencies. Activities of the
EIPs are designed to: (1) Address issues
that the EIP network is particularly
suited to investigate; (2) maintain
sufficient flexibility for emergency
response and new problems as they
arise; (3) develop and evaluate public
health interventions to inform public

EIP to better detect, identify, track
changes in laboratory testing
methodology, gather information about
laboratory utilization in the EIP
catchment area to ensure that all cases
are being captured, and survey EIP staff
to evaluate program quality.
The total estimated burden is 40,601

other than their time.

health policy and treatment guidelines;
(4) incorporate training as a key
function; and (5) prioritize projects that
lead directly to the prevention of
disease.
A revision is being submitted to make
existing collection instruments clearer
and to add several new forms
specifically surveying laboratory
practices. These forms will allow the

This notice sets out a summary of the

following information collections. More
detailed information can be found in
each collection’s supporting statement
and associated materials (see
ADDRESSES).
CMS–10688 Home Health (HH)
National Provider Survey
Under the 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.
The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires federal agencies to publish a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this
notice.

Security Act (the Act) requires the
Secretary of HHS every three years to
assess the quality and efficiency effects
of the use of endorsed measures in
specific Medicare quality reporting and
incentive programs. This request is for
review and approval of a survey and
qualitative interview guide for the home
health setting, which CMS proposes to
use to address critical needs regarding
the impact of use of quality and
efficiency measures in the home health
setting, including the burden they
impose on home health agencies.
CMS plans to use the findings from
surveys and qualitative interviews for
multiple purposes. The qualitative
interviews and standardized survey will
inform CMS about the impact of
measures used to assess care in HHAs.
The surveys will help CMS understand
whether the use of performance
measures has been associated with
changes in HHA behavior—namely,
what quality improvements (QI)
investments HHAs are making and
whether adoption of QI changes is
associated with higher performance on
the measures. The survey will help CMS
identify characteristics associated with
high performance, which, if understood,
could be used to leverage improvements
in care among lower-performing HHAs.
The survey and interviews, assuming
approval by August 2019, would be
fielded from fall 2019 through spring
2020. Form Number: CMS–10688 (OMB
control number: 0938–NEW);
