Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review, 44130-44131 [2015-18094]

Download as PDF 44130 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 142 / Friday, July 24, 2015 / Notices death information that can be used to guide program and policy decisions at the state and local levels. Child Death Review (CDR) Child Death Review (CDR) programs function in every state, and the program is often mandated by the state. Case reviews occur at the local and state level, depending on the state. States use their data to inform prevention strategies and to evaluate the success of state programs in reducing infant and child deaths as well as producing annual reports. The National Center for the Review and Prevention of Child Death (NCRPCD) provides support and technical assistance to CDR programs. This program is funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The NCRPCD support covers a broad array of process-oriented CDR issues such as forming multidisciplinary teams, moving from state to local reviews and strengthening partnerships with the local forensic community. In addition, the NCRPCD provides support to CDR programs who voluntarily participate in the web-based NCRPCD Case Reporting System. This Case Reporting System provides a standardized way to compile infant and child death information, already accessed and reviewed by state and local teams. Local and state teams own their data and identifiable data (if entered at all) is not available to anyone but the state that owns the data. The NCRPCD Case Report (Version 4.0), available to all CDR programs that use the Case Reporting System, will include new SDY variables. The CDC is asking SDY Registry grantees to enter new SDY variables into this pre-existing system and to use an advanced review to provide a more in-depth review of a sub-set of cases. Information Collection Request (ICR) The activities relevant to this Information Collection Request (ICR) are that SDY Registry (i.e., grantee) CDR programs will convene an advanced clinical review team of physicians with specialties relevant to SDY, and will, through the advanced clinical review and its usual CDR process, enter new SDY variables specific to SDY deaths. The data will be entered into the NCRPCD Case Reporting System, version 4.0. The SDY variables are available to all users of the Case Reporting System, grantees and nongrantees alike. In addition, unfunded local and state CDR teams may wish to conduct specialized advanced clinical reviews and are not prohibited from doing so. The SDY Registry aims to improve data completeness and timeliness of the data entered by providing technical assistance to grantees only. For the purposes of this ICR, a ‘‘respondent’’ is a SDY Registry grantee funded by CDC. As a grantee for CDC’s cooperative agreement, the respondent agrees to compile a specifically defined set of SDY information about a defined set of deaths of children through the state’s CDR program. CDC estimates that 900 cases will be reported over a threeyear period. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total annualized burden hours are 2,250.

close coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Criminal 
Justice Information Services (CJIS). Accordingly, CDC and APHIS have 
adopted an identical system to collect information for the possession,
