Proposed Project
National Voluntary Environmental
Assessment Information System
(NVEAIS)—New—National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC is requesting OMB approval
for a National Voluntary Environmental
Assessment Information System to
collect data from food- and waterborne
illness outbreak environmental
assessments routinely conducted by
local, State, territorial, or tribal food and
water safety programs during outbreak
investigations. Environmental
assessment data are not currently
collected at the national level. The data
reported through this information
system will provide timely data on the
causes of outbreaks, including
environmental factors associated with
outbreaks, and are essential to
environmental public health regulators’
efforts to respond more effectively to
outbreaks and prevent future, similar
outbreaks. This information system is
specifically designed to link to CDC’s
existing disease outbreak surveillance
system (National Outbreak Reporting
System).
The information system was
developed by the Environmental Health
Specialists Network (EHS–Net), a
collaborative project of CDC, the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA), and nine states (California,
Connecticut, Georgia, Iowa, New York,
Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island, and
Tennessee). The network consists of
environmental health specialists (EHSs),
epidemiologists, and laboratorians. The
EHS–Net has developed a standardized
protocol for identifying, reporting, and
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
analyzing data relevant to food- and
waterborne illness outbreak
environmental assessments.
The information to be reported to
NVEAIS will be obtained from
environmental assessments routinely
conducted by state, local, tribal and
territorial food and water safety program
officials in response to food- and
waterborne illness outbreaks. While
conducting environmental assessments
during outbreak investigations is routine
for food and water safety program
officials, reporting information from the
environmental assessments to CDC is
not. Thus, state, local, tribal, and
territorial food and water safety program
officials are the respondents for this
data collection. However, participation
in the system is voluntary.
There are approximately 3,000 public
health departments (where food and
water safety programs are typically
located) in the United States. Many of
these departments have separate food
and water safety programs. If a public
health department chooses to
participate in NVEAIS, there will likely
be two respondents from that
department—one person responsible for
reporting foodborne outbreak
environmental assessment data to
NVEAIS and one person responsible for
reporting waterborne outbreak
environmental assessment data to
NVEAIS. Thus, although it is not
possible to determine how many
departments will choose to participate,
as NVEAIS is voluntary, the maximum
potential number of respondents is
approximately 6,000 (one for each food
safety program and one for each water
safety program in each public health
department).
It is not possible to determine exactly
how many outbreaks will occur in the
future, nor where they will occur.
However, we can estimate, based on
existing data, that a maximum of 1,600
illness outbreaks (1,100 foodborne and
500 waterborne) will occur annually.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 20 / Monday, February 1, 2010 / Notices
Only respondents in the jurisdictions in
which these outbreaks occurred would
report to NVEAIS. Thus, not every
respondent will respond every year.
Thus, we have based our respondent
burden estimate on the number of
outbreaks likely to occur each year,
rather than the number of potential
respondents. Assuming each outbreak
occurs in a different jurisdiction, there
will be one respondent per outbreak.
Each respondent will respond only once
per outbreak investigated and the
average burden per response will be
approximately 120 minutes. Thus, the
estimated total annual burden to report
is 3,200 hours.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.

ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) notifies Federal
agencies of the laboratories currently
certified to meet the standards of
Subpart C of the Mandatory Guidelines
for Federal Workplace Drug Testing
Programs (Mandatory Guidelines). The
Mandatory Guidelines were first
published in the Federal Register on
April 11, 1988 (53 FR 11970), and
subsequently revised in the Federal
Register on June 9, 1994 (59 FR 29908),
on September 30, 1997 (62 FR 51118),
and on April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644).
A notice listing all currently certified
laboratories is published in the Federal
Register during the first week of each
month. If any laboratory’s certification
is suspended or revoked, the laboratory
will be omitted from subsequent lists
until such time as it is restored to full
certification under the Mandatory
Guidelines.
If any laboratory has withdrawn from
the HHS National Laboratory
Certification Program (NLCP) during the
past month, it will be listed at the end,
VerDate Nov<24>2008

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Mandatory Guidelines were developed
in accordance with Executive Order
12564 and section 503 of Public Law
100–71. Subpart C of the Mandatory
Guidelines, ‘‘Certification of
Laboratories Engaged in Urine Drug
Testing for Federal Agencies,’’ sets strict
standards that laboratories must meet in
order to conduct drug and specimen
validity tests on urine specimens for
Federal agencies. To become certified,
an applicant laboratory must undergo
three rounds of performance testing plus
an on-site inspection. To maintain that
certification, a laboratory must
participate in a quarterly performance
testing program plus undergo periodic,
on-site inspections.
Laboratories which claim to be in the
applicant stage of certification are not to
be considered as meeting the minimum
requirements described in the HHS
Mandatory Guidelines. A laboratory
must have its letter of certification from
HHS/SAMHSA (formerly: HHS/NIDA)
which attests that it has met minimum
standards.
In accordance with Subpart C of the
Mandatory Guidelines dated April 13,
2004 (69 FR 19644), the following

Proposed Project
National Voluntary Environmental Assessment Information System
(NVEAIS)--New--National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC is requesting OMB approval for a National Voluntary
Environmental Assessment Information System to collect data from food-
and waterborne illness outbreak environmental assessments routinely
conducted by local, State, territorial, or tribal food and water safety
programs during outbreak investigations. Environmental assessment data
are not currently collected at the national level. The data reported
through this information system will provide timely data on the causes
of outbreaks, including environmental factors associated with
outbreaks, and are essential to environmental public health regulators'
efforts to respond more effectively to outbreaks and prevent future,
similar outbreaks. This information system is specifically designed to
link to CDC's existing disease outbreak surveillance system (National
Outbreak Reporting System).
The information system was developed by the Environmental Health
Specialists Network (EHS-Net), a collaborative project of CDC, the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA), and nine states (California, Connecticut, Georgia, Iowa, New
York, Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Tennessee). The network
consists of environmental health specialists (EHSs), epidemiologists,
and laboratorians. The EHS-Net has developed a standardized protocol
for identifying, reporting, and analyzing data relevant to food- and
waterborne illness outbreak environmental assessments.
The information to be reported to NVEAIS will be obtained from
environmental assessments routinely conducted by state, local, tribal
and territorial food and water safety program officials in response to
food- and waterborne illness outbreaks. While conducting environmental
assessments during outbreak investigations is routine for food and
water safety program officials, reporting information from the
environmental assessments to CDC is not. Thus, state, local, tribal,
and territorial food and water safety program officials are the
respondents for this data collection. However, participation in the
system is voluntary.
There are approximately 3,000 public health departments (where food
and water safety programs are typically located) in the United States.
Many of these departments have separate food and water safety programs.
If a public health department chooses to participate in NVEAIS, there
will likely be two respondents from that department--one person
responsible for reporting foodborne outbreak environmental assessment
data to NVEAIS and one person responsible for reporting waterborne
outbreak environmental assessment data to NVEAIS. Thus, although it is
not possible to determine how many departments will choose to
participate, as NVEAIS is voluntary, the maximum potential number of
respondents is approximately 6,000 (one for each food safety program
and one for each water safety program in each public health
department).
It is not possible to determine exactly how many outbreaks will
occur in the future, nor where they will occur. However, we can
estimate, based on existing data, that a maximum of 1,600 illness
outbreaks (1,100 foodborne and 500 waterborne) will occur annually.
[[Page 5088]]
Only respondents in the jurisdictions in which these outbreaks occurred
would report to NVEAIS. Thus, not every respondent will respond every
year. Thus, we have based our respondent burden estimate on the number
of outbreaks likely to occur each year, rather than the number of
potential respondents. Assuming each outbreak occurs in a different
jurisdiction, there will be one respondent per outbreak. Each
respondent will respond only once per outbreak investigated and the
average burden per response will be approximately 120 minutes. Thus,
the estimated total annual burden to report is 3,200 hours.
There is no cost to the respondents other than their time.
