Proposed Project
Data collection for the residential care
community and adult day service center
components of the National Post-Acute
and Long-Term Care Study (OMB
Control No. 0920–0943)—Reinstatement
with Change—National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, ‘‘shall collect
statistics on health resources . . . [and]
utilization of health care, including
extended care facilities, and other
institutions.’’
NCHS seeks approval to collect data
for the residential care community
(RCC) and adult day services center
(ADSC) survey components of the 5th
National Post-Acute and Long-Term
Care Study or NPALS (formerly known
as the National Study of Long-Term
Care Providers or NSLTCP). A two-year
clearance is requested.
The NPALS is designed to (1) broaden
NCHS’ ongoing coverage of paid,

regulated long-term care (LTC)
providers; (2) merge with existing
administrative data on LTC providers
and service users (i.e., Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
data on inpatient rehabilitation facilities
and patients, long-term care hospitals
and patients, nursing homes and
residents, home health agencies and
patients, and hospices and patients); (3)
update data more frequently on LTC
providers and service users for which
nationally representative administrative
data do not exist; and (4) enable
comparisons across LTC sectors and
timely monitoring of supply and use of
these sectors over time.
Data will be collected from two types
of LTC providers in the 50 states and the
District of Columbia: 11,600 RCCs and
5,500 ADSCs in each wave. Data were
collected in 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018.
The data to be collected in 2020 include
the basic characteristics, services,
staffing, and practices of RCCs and
ADSCs, and aggregate-level
distributions of the demographics,
selected health conditions and health
care utilization, physical functioning,
and cognitive functioning of RCC
residents and ADSC participants. For
2020, we plan to add seven questions
that will ask about: (1) Number of
COVID–19 cases among service users
and among staff (2) number of
hospitalizations and of deaths among

COVID–19 cases (3) availability of
personal protective equipment, (4)
shortages of COVID–19 testing, (5) use
of telemedicine/telehealth, (6)
restrictions on visitors, and (7) general
infection control policies and practices.
Expected users of data from this
collection effort include, but are not
limited to; other Department of Health
and Human Services (DHHS) agencies,
such as the Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation,
the Administration for Community
Living, and the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality; associations, such
as LeadingAge, National Center for
Assisted Living, American Seniors
Housing Association, Argentum, and
National Adult Day Services
Association; universities; foundations;
and other private sector organizations
such as the Alzheimer’s Association, the
AARP Public Policy Institute, and the
National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine.
Expected burden from data collection
for eligible cases is 30 minutes per
respondent, except 5% of RCCs and
ADSCs that will need five minutes of
data retrieval. We calculated the burden
based on a 100% response rate. A twoyear clearance is requested to cover the
collection of data. The burden for the
collection is estimated to be 4,311
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time to participate.

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,

ADDRESSES:

that following participation in the twoyear program, alumni will seek
employment within the public health
system (i.e., federal, state, tribal, local,
or territorial health agencies, or nongovernmental organizations), focusing
on public health, population health, or
health care.
Efforts to systematically evaluate
PHAP began in 2014 and continue to
date. Evaluation priorities focus on
continuously learning about program
processes and activities to improve the
program’s quality and documenting
program outcomes to demonstrate
impact and inform decision making
about future program direction.
The purpose of this ICR is to collect
information from two key stakeholder
groups (host site supervisors and
alumni) via two distinct surveys. The
information collected will enable CDC
to; a) learn about program processes and
activities to improve the program’s
quality, and b) document program
outcomes to demonstrate impact and
inform decision making about future
program direction. The results of these
surveys may be published in peer
reviewed journals and/or in nonscientific publications such as practice
reports and/or fact sheets.
The respondent universe is comprised
of PHAP host site supervisors and PHAP
alumni. Both surveys will be
administered electronically; a link to the
survey websites will be provided in the
email invitation. The PHAP Host Site
Supervisor survey will be deployed
once every two years to all active PHAP
host site supervisors. The total
estimated burden is 20 minutes per
respondent per survey.
The PHAP Alumni Survey will be
administered at three different time
points (one year post-graduation, three
years post-graduation, and five years
post-graduation) to PHAP alumni.
Assessment questions will remain
consistent at each administration (i.e.,
one year, three years, or five years postPHAP graduation). The language,
however, will be updated for each
survey administration to reflect the
appropriate time period. The total
estimated burden is eight minutes per
respondent per survey. The total
annualized estimated burden is 213
hours.

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.

Center for State, Tribal, Local, and
Territorial Support (CSTLTS), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) works to protect
America from health, safety and security
threats, both foreign and in the U.S.
CDC strives to fulfill this mission, in
part, through a competent and capable
public health workforce. One
mechanism to developing the public
health workforce is through training
programs like the Public Health
Associate Program (PHAP).
The mission of the Public Health
Associate Program (PHAP) is to train
and provide experiential learning to
early career professionals who
contribute to the public health
workforce. PHAP targets recent
graduates with bachelors or masters
degrees who are beginning a career in
public health. Each year, a new cohort
of up to 200 associates is enrolled in the
program. Associates are CDC employees
who complete two-year assignments in
a host site (i.e., a state, tribal, local, or
territorial health department or nonprofit organization). Host sites design
their associates’ assignments to meet
their agency’s unique needs while also
providing on-the-job experience that
prepare associates for future careers in
public health. At host sites, associates
are mentored by members of the public
health workforce (referred to as ‘‘host
site supervisors’’). It is the goal of PHAP
