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 OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

Background and Brief Description
On March 27, 2017, CDC issued a
Broad Agency Announcement (FY2017–
OADS–01) available at https://
www.fbo.gov/spg/HHS/CDCP/PGOA/
FY2017-OADS-01/listing.html. There is
potential for standardized information
collection attached to a limited number
of awarded projects. For those projects,
a 30-day notice will be published in the
Federal Register and information
collection requests will be submitted to
OMB for approval. This Federal
Register notice is intended to broadly
inform the public of CDC’s intent to
contract with researchers to carry out a
variety of different research projects
awarded through this announcement.
For this announcement, CDC has
identified the following research areas
of interest. Interested parties are invited
to consider innovative approaches to
support advanced research and
development strategies in the following
research areas of interest:
1. New diagnostic, sequencing and
metagenomic tools for antibiotic
detection and improved antibiotic use
2. International Transmission,
colonization, and prevention of
antibiotic resistance (AR) pathogens
3. Domestic transmission,
colonization, and prevention of
antibiotic resistance pathogens and
Clostridium difficile infections (CDI)
4. Microbiome disruption
5. Antibiotic resistance pathogens and
genes in water systems and the
environment and their contribution to
human infections
6. Medication safety and antibiotic
stewardship
7. Improving the timeliness, accuracy,
and usability of public health
emergency management, surveillance
and survey information data
Contracts that are awarded based on
responses to this BAA are as a result of
full and open competition and therefore
in full compliance with the provisions
of PL 98–369, ‘‘The Competition in
Contracting Act of 1984.’’ CDC contracts
with educational institutions, nonprofit
organizations, state and local
government, and private industry for
research and development (R&D) in
those areas covered in this BAA.
The public is invited to look at the
BAA online for greater detail and more
specific research areas falling under the
seven topics listed above.
Authorizing legislation comes from
Section 301 of the Public Health Service
Act. Responses will be voluntary and it
is not expected that there will be any

cost to respondents other than the time
to participate in information collection.
The total estimated burden for all of
the information collections is not
expected to exceed 1,500 hours (100
hours of burden for a maximum of 15
potentially PRA-applicable contracts).
