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 information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on a proposed information
collection project titled NCEZID Rapid
Message Testing & Development
System. This collection will enable the
National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID)
to test health messages and gather
information to inform the development
of health messages.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before August 15, 2023.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2023–
0049 by either of the following methods:

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.

(NCEZID) offers numerous powerful
resources to anticipate, prevent, and
address outbreaks of infectious diseases.
From researchers to emergency
responders; from laboratories to
surveillance of mobile populations;
from collaborations at the Federal level
to partnerships at the local level,
NCEZID keeps people safe from threats
like anthrax, Ebola virus, Zika virus,
sepsis, mpox, and foodborne illnesses
like Salmonella. These efforts are vital
to protect and save lives.
The ability to effectively
communicate with the public about
these threats is one of NCEZID’s most
vital roles. Particularly during an
outbreak, it is critical that the public
understands what is happening and
why, and trusts and follows public
health leaders’ guidance. Recent public
health responses to COVID–19 and
mpox have underscored the need to
improve the speed and content of health
communications, particularly among
populations at higher risk for zoonotic
and infectious diseases. This Rapid
Message Testing & Message
Development System will enable
NCEZID to collect information vital to
the development of clear, salient,
relevant, appealing, and persuasive
messages related to outbreaks and other
emerging and zoonotic diseases via a
Generic mechanism. The Rapid Message
Testing & Message Development System
will also allow for the relatively rapid
testing of messages when the need arises
within the Center, prior to the
dissemination of those messages and
associated communications materials.
The data collection is intended to
ensure NCEZID messages are
appropriate to target audiences. Data
will guide revisions to existing or draft
messages, inform the development of
new messages, and otherwise enable
message developers to make optimal
decisions about message content,
format, and dissemination so that
NCEZID’s messages effectively reach
and resonate with their intended
audiences. Proposed data collection
methods include in-depth interviews,
online or in-person focus groups, and
online surveys.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 2,615 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time to participate.
