The purpose of this information
collection is to detect state and local community changes in
unintentional and undetermined intent drug-related overdose
mortality and provide in-depth state and local (e.g., county)
information on risk factors for fatal drug overdose deaths (opioid
and non-opioid). State public health departments will be funded to
abstract standardized data elements from medical examiner/coroner
(ME/C) reports as well as death certificates and will report this
information to CDC using a web-based platform. Findings will be
used to inform the selection and targeting of interventions in all
50 states and the District of Columbia. This Revision requests
removal of a respondent and a modification of the burden
hours.
US Code:

USC 301 Name of Law: Public Health Service Act
The burden estimate has been
changed to reflect the increase in drug overdose deaths. The
previous burden estimates were based drug overdose deaths that
occurred among all 50 states in 2017, or 64,998. The revision will
use the total number of unintentional or undetermined intent drug
overdose deaths in the US in 2020, or 87,302. The total number of
unintentional or undetermined intent drug overdose deaths per
jurisdiction was estimated by dividing the total number of drug
overdose deaths, 87,302 by the number of participating health
departments, 51, or approximately 1,711 deaths per participating
health department. This created an increase from the previously
approved burden of 32,838.
