As part of a Federal Government-wide
effort to streamline the process to seek

delivery, the CDC has submitted a
Generic Information Collection Request
(Generic ICR): ‘‘Generic Clearance for
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery ’’ to OMB
for approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.).
To request additional information,
please contact Kimberly S. Lane,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
The Agency received no comments in
response to the 60-day notice published
in the Federal Register on December 22,
2010 (75 FR 80542).
This is a new collection of
information. Respondents will be
screened and selected from Individuals
and Households, Businesses,
Organizations, and/or State, Local or
Tribal Government. Below we provide
CDC’s projected annualized estimate for
the next three years. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
estimated annualized burden hours for
this data collection activity are 550.

Proposed Project
Public Health Systems, Mental Health
and Community Recovery Project—
New—Office of Public Health
Preparedness and Response, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This project stems from, and aligns
with, publication of the Office of Public
Health Preparedness and Response’s
(OPHPR) ‘‘National Strategic Plan for
Public Health Preparedness and
Response’’ which provides overall
direction for Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention’s (CDC) preparedness
and response portfolio, including
programmatic direction across OPHPR’s
four divisions. The focus of this project
is to generate findings useful for future
preparedness planning and response in
order to develop strategies and
interventions aimed at mitigating the
impact of adverse events. In April 2011,
one of the largest tornado outbreaks ever
recorded, a ‘‘Super Outbreak,’’ occurred
in the southeastern United States,
resulting in more than 300 deaths and
an estimated $10 billion in damages.
This large-scale multistate tragedy offers
a unique opportunity to study how
communities with similar cultural and
geographic features yet different public
health and mental health emergency
response systems could provide access
to care around the same crisis. The
outcomes of these efforts can inform the
field of what effect these differences had
on the recovery patterns of each of these
communities. By doing so, we can begin
to elucidate best practices for robust
community preparedness and recovery
with attention to types of services that
most effectively promote the natural
resilience of survivors. Two primary
research questions will guide the
proposed study:
1. How did the Alabama and
Mississippi State and local public
health and mental health (PH/MH)
systems prepare for, respond to, and
support recovery after the April 2011
tornados?
2. To what extent have these
communities recovered and what is the
overall health and quality of life of
individuals affected by these events?
CDC requests OMB approval to collect
information for two years.
To address these questions, CDC, in
collaboration with ICF International,
will conduct a mixed method evaluation
utilizing key informant interviews of
public health and mental health agency
staff and other leaders from the
community and household survey data
in each of the four regions in
Mississippi and Alabama to assess
community recovery. Specifically, the
study design includes two main
components (qualitative and
quantitative) designed to
comprehensively examine the PH/MH
system response to and community
recovery and resilience from disasters.
The total estimated burden for the 98
one-time qualitative interviews for
public health/mental health
professionals and community leaders is
98 hours (98 respondents × 1 hour/
response). Interviews will be conducted
during an in-person site-visit to the
region to reduce travel and time burdens
on the respondents. Respondents unable
to participate during the site visit may
participate via telephone. In addition,
the total estimated burden for the
quantitative computer-assisted
interviews are based on 1,313 screener
respondents and 860 survey
respondents in each of the four tornado
effected regions; the screener will take
approximately 2 minutes to complete
and the survey will take approximately
25 minutes to complete.(Study Screener:
4 counties × 1,313 study screeners =
5,252 participants screened; 5,252
participants × 2/60 minutes = 175 hours;
Household Survey for General Public: 4
counties × 860 respondents = 3,440
respondents; 3,440 respondents × 25/60
minutes = 1,433 hours).
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
The total estimated annual burden
hours are 1,706.
