partners and by promoting local public
health, healthcare, and community
partner networks.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before August 16, 2022.

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
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Pilot Plan for the Interim Local Health
Department Strategy for Response,
Control, and Prevention of Healthcare
Associated Infections (HAI) and
Antibiotic Resistance (AR)—New—
National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) Division of Healthcare
Quality Promotion (DHQP) recently
developed an Interim Local Health
Department Strategy for Response,
Control, and Prevention of Healthcare
Associated Infections (HAI) and
Antibiotic Resistance (AR). CDC’s vision
is to strengthen local and regional
capacity to respond to, control, and
prevent HAI/AR across all healthcare

relationships, and nature of
collaborations with the state HAI/AR
program. While the specific activities
and responsibilities of LHDs will vary,
the unique roles and assets of LHDs
make them critical players in the
prevention and control of HAI/AR
infections. LHDs can build relationships
in their local communities and may be
well-positioned to understand and
respond to the health needs of their
communities. There is much to be
learned and many best practices to be
shared from LHD working in HAI/AR.
Engaging with LHDs is essential for
DHQP to connect to other priority areas
such as focusing on rural areas,
healthcare preparedness, and health
equity considerations. Additionally, a
local engagement strategy will help
DHQP expand their activities to focus
on connecting with LHDs that directly
work between healthcare and public
health groups, especially to continue
work and partnerships begun by
COVID–19 task forces.
The data collection and subsequent
data analysis will identify themes and
commonalities that will be used to make
updates to the strategy and identify
areas of support for LHDs seeking to
grow their capacity for HAI/AR
activities. CDC requests OMB approval
for an estimated 390 annual burden
hours. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time to participate.

settings and in the community by
supporting enhanced coordination
between state and local partners and by
promoting local public health,
healthcare, and community partner
networks. This vision can be achieved
with collaboration between local, state,
and federal public health entities, and
partners. This strategy aims to
strengthen local health departments
(LHD) by focusing on three main goals:
(1) growing strong partner networks; (2)
building internal operational capacity;
and (3) expanding the scope of
programmatic activities to effectively
address HAI/AR in their jurisdictions.
CDC’s next steps include piloting the
strategy with local health departments
in part through a cooperative agreement
with the National Association for
County and City Health Officials
(NACCHO) and is proposing this data
collection to gather information from
LHDs during that pilot phase. The
strategy was developed to highlight and
support the important role LHDs play in
preventing, responding to, and
controlling HAI and AR related events.
The HAI/AR activities that are
conducted by LHDs vary widely and
depend on many factors such as staff
capacity and expertise, governance
structures and public health authorities,
prevalence of emerging HAI/AR
diseases, types, and organization of
healthcare facilities in the jurisdiction,
population demographics, local
