This non-substantive change request is
submitted to comply with the stated procedures in the approved EEI
Generic ICR package (as specified in point 5 under Special
Circumstances Relating to the Guidelines of 5 CFR 1320.5), “CDC
maintains a library of data collection instruments that includes
all final data collection instruments conducted under this generic
ICR. This library and the updated burden numbers based on data
collected via the “Burden Memo” are submitted to OMB quarterly as a
non-substantive change to the generic ICR.” This non-substantive
change request includes the following: Burden Memos (Appendix 1)
and final data collection forms (Appendix 2) for the investigations
conducted under 0920-1011 for which data collection was completed
from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. 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
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
