The EEI Generic ICR is specifically
designed to support CDC mission-critical functions by allowing CDC
to deploy to the field to conduct Emergency Epidemic Investigations
(EEIs) at the request of, and under the public health authority of,
external partners seeking support for a rapid response to urgent
public health problems. Data collection methods will vary depending
on the circumstances and needs of the investigation and will
include epidemiologic investigations, environmental assessment, and
laboratory testing. The respondent universe is the population to
which results will be generalized, and will vary depending on the
outbreak or event, but is not a mechanism to collect data that can
be generalized to the broader population. The population to which
results are generalizable is limited to those potentially exposed
to or affected by the health event under investigation.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
