Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has submitted the
following information collection request
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for
the proposed information collection is
published to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies.
Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your
comments should address any of the
following: (a) 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; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agencies estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

collected; (d) 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 submission of
responses; and (e) assess information
collection costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and

Proposed Project
The National Violent Death Reporting
System (NVDRS) (0920–0607,
Expiration 12/31/2015)—Revision—
National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Violence is an important public
health problem. In the United States,
suicide and homicide are the second
and third leading causes of death,
respectively, in the 1–34 year old age
group. Unfortunately, public health
agencies do not know much more about
the problem than the numbers and the
sex, race, and age of the victims, or
information obtainable from the
standard death certificate. Death
certificates, however, carry no
information about key facts necessary
for prevention such as the relationship
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
of the victim and suspect and the
circumstances of the deaths.
Furthermore, death certificates are
typically available 20 months after the
completion of a single calendar year.
Official publications of national violent
death rates (i.e., those in Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report) rarely use data
that are less than two years old.
Local and Federal criminal justice
agencies such as the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) provide slightly more
information about homicides, but they
do not routinely collect standardized
data about suicides, which are in fact
much more common than homicides.
The FBI’s Supplemental Homicide
Report (SHRs) does collect basic
information about the victim-suspect
relationship and circumstances related
to the homicide. SHRs, do not link
violent deaths that are part of one
incident such as homicide-suicides. It
also is a voluntary system in which
some 10–20 percent of police
departments nationwide do not
participate. The FBI’s National Incident
Based Reporting System (NIBRS)
provides slightly more information than
SHRs, but it covers less of the country
than SHRs. NIBRS also only provides
data regarding homicides. Also, the
Bureau of Justice Statistics Reports does
not use data that are less than two years
old.
CDC requests OMB approval in order
to revise its state-based surveillance
system for violent deaths to provide
coverage across all U.S. states,
territories, and the District of Columbia.
The surveillance system captures case
record information held by medical
examiners/coroners, vital statistics (i.e.,
death certificates), and law enforcement,
including crime labs. Data is collected
by each state in the system and entered
E:\FR\FM\17JYN1.SGM
17JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 137 / Thursday, July 17, 2014 / Notices
into a web system administered by CDC.
Information is collected from these
records about the characteristics of the
victims and suspects, the circumstances
of the deaths, and the weapons
involved. States use standardized data
elements and software designed by CDC.
Ultimately, this information will guide
states in designing, targeting, and
evaluating programs that reduce
multiple forms of violence. Neither
victim’s families nor suspects are
contacted to collect this information; it
all comes from existing records and is
collected by state health department
staff or their subcontractors. The
number of hours per death required for
the public agencies working with
NVDRS states to retrieve and then refile
their records is estimated to be 0.5 hours
per death.
The president has submitted plans to
fund the expansion of the state-based
surveillance system to collect
information in all 50 U.S. states, the
District of Columbia, and U.S.
territories. This revision will allow 32
new state health departments, the health
department of the District of Columbia,
and 7 territorial governments to be
added to the currently funded 18 state
health departments, resulting in a total
of 58 public health agencies, which
include the 50 U.S. states, the District of
Columbia, and territories to be included
in the state-based surveillance system.
Violent deaths include all homicides,
suicides, legal interventions, deaths
from undetermined causes, and
41695
unintentional firearm deaths. The
average state will experience
approximately 1,000 such deaths each
year.
In the past, abstractors’ time was
included as burden as they were not
compensated to abstract data from death
certificates. Moving forward, we will no
longer include state abstractors’ time
spent abstracting data in our estimates
of public burden for NVDRS because
state abstractors are funded by CDC to
do this work. This significantly reduces
the estimated public burden associated
with NVDRS.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are
29,000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Background
The Interagency Task Force on
Antimicrobial Resistance (ITFAR) was
created in 1999 in recognition of the
increasing importance of antimicrobial
resistance (AR) as a public health threat.
The ITFAR coordinates the activities of
federal agencies in addressing
antimicrobial resistance and is cochaired by HHS/CDC, HHS/FDA, and
HHS/NIH. Other HHS Task Force
members include the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality
(AHRQ), the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS), the Health
Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA), the HHS Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Preparedness and
Response (HHS/ASPR) and the HHS
Office of the Assistant Secretary of
Health (HHS/OASH). Non-HHS Task
Force members include the Department
of Agriculture (USDA), the Department
of Defense (DoD), the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA), and the
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA).
In 2001, the ITFAR developed an
initial action plan to combat AR. This
plan, titled ‘‘A Public Health Action
Plan to Combat Antimicrobial
Resistance,’’ outlined specific goals,
actions, and implementation steps
important for addressing the problem of
