Subcontracting Reporting System
(eSRS).
Contractors must use the SSR in lieu
of the SF 295, with the exception of
those contracts noted in FAR 4.606(c)(5)
which requires that actions, pursuant to
other authority, will not be entered in
Federal Procurement Data System (e.g.,
reporting of the information would
compromise national security). Those
contract actions noted in FAR
4.606(c)(5) will continue to use the
Standard Form 295.
II. Annual Reporting Burden
Based on information from eSRS and
an estimate of the use of eSRS, an
upward adjustment is being made to the
number of respondents, but a downward
adjustment is being made to the average
burden hours for reporting and
recordkeeping per response. As a result,
a downward adjustment is being made
to the estimated annual reporting
burden since the notice regarding an
extension to this clearance published in
the Federal Register at 75 FR 9603, on
March 3, 2010.

Proposed Project
Emergency Epidemic Investigations
(0920–0008)—Revision—Scientific
Education and Professional
Development Program Office (SEPDPO),
Office of Surveillance, Epidemiology,
and Laboratory Services (OSELS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
One of the objectives of CDC’s
epidemic services is to provide for the
prevention and control of epidemics,
and protect the population from public
health crises such as human-made or
natural biological disasters and
chemical emergencies. CDC meets this
objective, in part, by training
investigators, maintaining laboratory
capabilities for identifying potential
problems, collecting and analyzing data,
and recommending appropriate actions
to protect the public’s health. When
state, local, or foreign health authorities
request help in controlling an epidemic
or solving other health problems, CDC
dispatches skilled epidemiologists from
the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS)
to investigate and resolve the problem.
Resolving public health problems
rapidly ensures cost-effective health
care and enhances health promotion
and disease prevention.
The purpose of the Emergency
Epidemic Investigation data collection
E:\FR\FM\19NON1.SGM
19NON1
69485
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 223 / Monday, November 19, 2012 / Notices
project is to collect data on the
conditions surrounding and preceding
the onset of a problem. The data must
be collected in a timely fashion so that
information can be used to develop
prevention and control techniques, to
interrupt disease transmission and to
help identify the cause of an outbreak.
Since the events necessitating the
collections of information are of an
emergency nature, most data collection
is done by direct interview or written
questionnaire and are one-time efforts
related to a specific outbreak or
circumstance. If during the emergency
investigation, the need for further study
is recognized, a project is designed and
separate OMB clearance is required.
Interviews are conducted to be as
unobtrusive as possible and only the
minimal information necessary is
collected. The Emergency Epidemic
Investigations data collection project is
the principal source of data on
outbreaks of infectious and
noninfectious diseases, injuries,
nutrition, environmental health, and
occupational problems.
Each investigation contributes to the
general knowledge about a particular
type of problem or emergency, so that
data collections are designed taking into
account knowledge gained during
similar situations in the past. Some
questionnaires have been standardized,
such as investigations of outbreaks
aboard aircraft or cruise vessels.
The Emergency Epidemic
Investigations data collection project
provides a range of data on the
characteristics of outbreaks and those
affected by outbreaks. Data collected
include demographic characteristics of
the affected population, exposure to the
causative agent(s), transmission
patterns, and severity of the outbreak.
These data, together with trend data,
may be used to monitor the effects of
change in the health care system, plan
health services, improve the availability
of medical services, and assess the
health status of the population.
Users of the Emergency Epidemic
Investigations data include, but are not
limited to, Epidemic Intelligence
Service (EIS) officers of the CDC, who
investigate the patterns of disease or
injury, the level of risky behaviors,
causative agents, the transmission of the
condition, and the impact of
interventions. EIS is a two-year program
of training and service in applied
epidemiology through CDC, primarily
for persons holding doctoral degrees.
Predicting the number of epidemic
investigations that might occur in any
given year is difficult. The previous
three years’ experience shows an
annualized burden of 3,750 hours and
respondent total of 15,000. After
completion of the Epi-Aid investigation,
using the Epi-Aid Satisfaction Survey
for Requesting Officials, data are
collected from 100 state and local health
officials for an annualized total of 25
burden hours. For this clearance, CDC is
requesting 3,775 total burden hours.

Background and Brief Description
Each year in the United States,
approximately 4,200 infants die
suddenly without any cause that is
immediately obvious. Half of these
sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUID)
are attributed to Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome (SIDS), which is the leading
cause of death in infants between one
and twelve months of age. Reducing
deaths caused by SIDS and other SUID
such as accidental suffocation are
important public health priorities.
Between 1990 and 2001, the rate of
SIDS in the U.S. decreased from 1.3 per
1,000 live births to 0.56 deaths per 1,000
live births. The 50% decline in SIDS is
attributed to the success of the ‘‘Back to
Sleep’’ campaign, launched in 1994,
during which prone sleeping for infants
decreased from about 75% in 1992 to
12% in 2002. SIDS has continued to
decline slightly and in 2009 was
estimated to be 0.525 deaths per 1,000,
however, post-neonatal mortality due to
other causes increased, particularly in
1999–2001. Further examination of the
