Recommendations

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 Sudden Death in the Young
(SDY). The goal of the SDY Case
Registry is to improve and standardize
the ascertainment of deaths so that
funded jurisdictions can better
understand the incidence and risk
factors for sudden death in youth. Per
CDC’s cooperative agreement,
respondents agree to compile a defined
set of SDY information about a defined
subset of child deaths through the
jurisdiction/state’s existing CDR
program.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before November 8,
2021.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2021–
0091 by any of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal:

for submitting comments.

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;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who

30/2022)—Extension—National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC)
Background and Brief Description
Estimates of the annual incidence of
sudden death in the young (SDY) vary
broadly due to differences in case
definitions, inconsistencies in
classifying cause of death (on death
certificates), study populations, and
case ascertainment. To address the need
for improved estimates of SDY
incidence, and its epidemiology based
on uniform cases definitions, CDC, in
collaboration with NIH’s National Heart,
Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and
National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke (NINDS),
implemented the SDY Case Registry in
2015. To meet the ongoing need to
produce accurate and uniform
information, CDC and NIH continued
the SDY Case Registry in 2018 with 13
awardees through a CDC-based
cooperative agreement program (DP18–
1806).
CDC awardees agree to compile a
defined set of SDY information about a
defined subset of child deaths through
the jurisdiction/state’s existing CDR
program. Each of the 13 CDC-funded
jurisdiction/state awardees will, on
average, review and enter data on 55 of
720 cases each year. Additionally, based
on historical program information, it is
estimated that approximately half (360)
of the 720 estimated SDY cases each
year will be recommended for advanced
clinical review by a team of three
medical experts.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. The total estimated annual
burden is 511 hours. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project
National Wastewater Surveillance
System for COVID–19—New—National
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The COVID–19 pandemic has
demonstrated the need for timely,
actionable surveillance data to inform
prevention and control activities. The
genetic material of SARS–CoV–2, the
virus that causes COVID–19, has been
detected in the feces of infected
individuals, regardless of their symptom
status. Therefore, sampling and testing
wastewater provides a means to obtain
an assessment of SARS–CoV–2 infection
trends in the community independent of
health care seeking, or other clinical
indicators.
The Waterborne Disease Prevention
Branch (WDPB) in the Division of
Foodborne, Waterborne, and
Environmental Diseases works to
prevent domestic and global water,
sanitation, and hygiene related disease.
In support of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID–
19 response, WDPB established the
National Wastewater Surveillance
System (NWSS). NWSS serves as a
public health tool to provide
environmental surveillance of SARS–
CoV–2 infections. Wastewater data have
provided impactful information to local
public health authorities, whether to
confirm trends observed in testing or
hospitalization rates, or to assert the
need for increased testing or healthcare
resources. NWSS has supported
