[60Day–24–1352; Docket No. CDC–2024–
0049]
Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
Centers for Disease Control and
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 continuing information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on a proposed information
collection project titled Operational
Readiness Review 2.0. The Operational
Readiness Review (ORR) is a rigorous,
evidence-based assessment used to
evaluate Public Health Emergency
Preparedness (PHEP) recipient’s
planning and operational functions.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before August 16, 2024.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2024–
0049 by either of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal:
www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
• Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information
Collection Review Office, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 1600
Clifton Road NE, MS H21–8, Atlanta,
Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received
must include the agency name and
Docket Number. CDC will post, without
change, all relevant comments to
www.regulations.gov.
Please note: Submit all comments
through the Federal eRulemaking portal
(www.regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to
the address listed above.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of

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
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
Operational Readiness Review 2.0
(OMB Control No. 0920–1352, Exp. 10/
31/2024)—Extension—Office of
Readiness and Response (ORR), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
To help evaluate the country’s public
health emergency preparedness and
response capacity, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention’s
Division of State and Local Readiness
(DSLR) administers the Public Health
PO 00000
Frm 00050

Emergency Preparedness (PHEP)
cooperative agreement. The PHEP
program is a critical source of funding
for 62 state, local, and territorial
jurisdictions, including four major
metropolitan areas: Chicago, Los
Angeles County, New York City, and
Washington, DC, to build and
strengthen their ability to respond to
and recover from public health
emergencies. The Operational Readiness
Review (ORR) is a rigorous, evidencebased assessment used to evaluate PHEP
recipients’ planning and operational
functions. The purpose of the ORR 2.0
is to expand measurement and
evaluation to all 15 Public Health
Emergency Preparedness and Response
Capabilities (1—Community
Preparedness, 2—Community Recovery,
3—Emergency Operations Coordination,
4—Emergency Public Information and
Warning, 5—Fatality Management, 6—
Information Sharing, 7—Mass Care, 8—
Medical Countermeasure Dispensing
and Administration, 9—Medical
Materiel Management and Distribution,
10—Medical Surge, 11—
Nonpharmaceutical Intervention, 12—
Public Health Laboratory Testing, 13—
Public Health Surveillance and
Epidemiological Investigation, 14—
Responder Safety and Health, 15—
Volunteer Management), which serve as
national standards for public health
preparedness planning.
These capabilities serve as national
standards for public health
preparedness planning.
The ORR 2.0 has three modules:
Descriptive, Planning, and Operational,
which will allow DSLR to analyze the
data for the development of descriptive
statistics and to monitor the progress of
each recipient towards performance
goals. The intended outcome of the ORR
2.0 is to assist CDC to identify strengths
and challenges facing preparedness
programs across the nation and to
identify opportunities for improvement
and further technical support.
Information will be collected from
respondents using the new ORR 2.0
platform, and a backup paper option
may be available for jurisdictions that
require it. Information collected from
respondents is a requirement of the
PHEP Cooperative Agreement for
participants to receive funding. CDC is
requesting a three-year approval for this
information collection. The total
annualized burden hour estimate is
3,055 burden hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
