60-day Federal Register Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 213 / Monday, November 4, 2019 / Notices

funded under the Overdose Data to
Action (OD2A) cooperative agreement
program. OMB approval is requested for
three years.
Drug overdose deaths in the United
States increased by 18% per year from
2014 to 2016. Opioid overdose deaths
have increased five-fold from 1999 to
2016, and in 2017, there were more than
47,000 deaths attributed to opioids. In
2017, the opioid epidemic was declared
a public health emergency by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS).
The purpose of the Overdose Data to
Action cooperative agreement program,
administered by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), is to
support state and local public health
jurisdictions in obtaining high quality,
complete, and timely data on opioid
prescribing and overdoses, and to use
this data to inform prevention and
response efforts. There are two required
components of this award: A

surveillance component and a
prevention component. The intent is to
ensure that funded grantees are well
equipped to do rigorous work under
both components.
CDC requests OMB approval to collect
information from 66 funded
jurisdictions about the resources, plans,
and activities needed to control the
epidemic of fatal and nonfatal overdoses
caused by opioids and other drugs.
Awardees will submit to CDC an
evaluation and performance
measurement plan using a preformatted
template; an organizational capacity
assessment using an online tool; and an
electronic activity progress report and
work plan tool. Burden per response
will be highest for the first year of
funding during initial population of
each electronic reporting form. In
subsequent years, burden per response
will decrease as awardees will only
need to update the information
requested on each form. CDC will also

collect a one-time Surveillance Data
Dissemination Plan which is not part of
the annual reporting requirement.
The information collected will
provide crucial data to CDC for program
monitoring and budget tracking, to
improve CDC-recipient
communications, and to inform
technical assistance and guidance
documents produced by CDC to support
program implementation among funded
grantees. It will also provide CDC with
the capacity to respond in a timely
manner to requests for information
about the program from HHS, the White
House, Congress, and other sources. The
data will be analyzed using descriptive,
summary statistics, and qualitative
summaries.
Participation in this information
collection is required for funded
awardees. There are no costs to the
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 1,342.

Program awardee performance and
submission of timely and accurate
responses to inquiries from Congress
and other stakeholders.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before January 3, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)

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

Background and Brief Description

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.

In 2017, 66 awardees, representing all
50 states, the District of Columbia, seven
United States Association Pacific
Islands and territories, and eight tribes
and tribal organizations, were selected
for funding under NOFO
(DP171701DP17–1701, ‘‘Cancer
Prevention and Control Programs for
State, Territorial, and Tribal
Organizations’’). Under this cooperative
agreement, awardees implement cancer
prevention and control programs to
reduce cancer morbidity, mortality, and
disparities. To facilitate program
monitoring, performance assessment,
and evaluation, a web-based
management information system is
needed for collection and abstraction of
information about program resources,
partnerships, work plan activities, and
evaluation efforts.
CDC is requesting OMB approval for
the continued use of the Management
Information System to collect, store,
retrieve, share, and report accurate and
timely information. OMB approval is
requested for the term of three years,
which coincides with the last three
years of the program. All 66 awardees
will submit information on data
elements in the Management
Information System annually for a total
estimated burden of 66 hours.
Information collected will be analyzed
and used in aggregate to describe
program efforts. Participation is
voluntary and there are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
