Download as PDF 61218 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 6, 2016 / Notices departments nationwide do not participate. The FBI’s National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) provides slightly more information than SHRs, but it covers less of the country than SHRs. NIBRS also only provides data regarding homicides. Also, the Bureau of Justice Statistics Reports do not use data that is less than two years old. CDC requests OMB approval in order to revise its state-based surveillance system for violent deaths that will provide more detailed and timely information. The surveillance system captures case record information held by medical examiners/coroners, vital statistics (i.e., death certificates), and law enforcement. Data is collected by each state in the system and entered into a web system administered by CDC. Information is collected from these records about the characteristics of the victims and suspects, the circumstances The president has submitted plans to fund the expansion of the state-based surveillance system to collect information in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. This revision will allow 10 new state health departments, and 7 territorial governments to be added to the currently funded 39 state health departments (Maine and Vermont are funded as one entity), the health department of the District of Columbia, and 1 territorial government, resulting in a total of 59 states and territories to be included in the state-based surveillance system. Violent deaths include all homicides, suicides, legal interventions, deaths from undetermined causes, and unintentional firearm deaths. The average state will experience approximately 1,000 such deaths each year. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. of the deaths, and the weapons involved. States use standardized data elements and software designed by CDC. Ultimately, this information will guide states in designing, targeting, and evaluating programs that reduce multiple forms of violence. Neither victim’s families nor suspects are contacted to collect this information; it all comes from existing records and is collected by state health department staff or their subcontractors. The number of hours per death required for the public agencies working with NVDRS states to retrieve and then refile their records is estimated to be 0.5 hours per death. Moving forward, we will no longer include state abstractors’ time spent abstracting data in our estimates of public burden for NVDRS because state abstractors are funded by CDC to do this work. This significantly reduces the estimated public burden associated with NVDRS.

Lactation--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Over the past decade, the prevalence of maternal opioid use during 
pregnancy has steadily increased. The use of opioids or other 
psychoactive substances, either by illicit abuse or by nonmedical abuse 
of prescription opioids, increases the risks for health and social 
problems for both mother and infant. For example, maternal substance 
abuse during pregnancy increases the risk of preterm birth, low birth 
weight, perinatal death, and neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). For 
many women, and some at-risk women in particular, prenatal visits may 
be the only time they routinely see a physician. Because obstetrician-
gynecologists (OB/GYNs) are the principal health care providers for 
women, OB/GYNs are well situated to screen for substance use and to 
treat or encourage cessation of substance use during pregnancy. Thus, 
it is important

to understand current provider knowledge, attitudes, and practices 
regarding maternal opioid use.
    CDC, in collaboration with the American College of Obstetricians 
and Gynecologists (ACOG), plans to conduct a survey to address this gap 
in knowledge. Survey respondents will be ACOG Fellows and Junior 
Fellows who have a current medical license and are in medical practice 
focused on women's health. ACOG is separated into 11 districts, one of 
which represents OB/GYN members who are in the U.S. military. The 
remaining 10 ACOG districts correspond to geographic regions that 
encompass the entire United States and Canada. Survey invitations will 
be sent to a quasi-random sample of ACOG members in each district.
    CDC and ACOG estimate that 1,500 individuals will be contacted in 
order to obtain a study target of 600 respondents. The initial 
invitation will be distributed by email with instructions on completing 
a web-based version of the questionnaire. Three to four months after 
the initial invitation, a paper version of the questionnaire will be 
distributed to individuals who have not completed the online version. 
The estimated number of respondents for the full web-based or paper 
questionnaire is 420 and the estimated burden per response is 15 
minutes. Approximately 6 weeks after the second recruitment attempt, 
ACOG will distribute a short version of the questionnaire to any non-
responders. The estimated number of responses for the short version of 
the questionnaire is 180 and the estimated burden per response is 5 
minutes. An overall 40% response rate is expected.
    The survey will collect information about provider attitudes and 
beliefs regarding maternal opioid use, their screening and referral 
practices for pregnant or postpartum patients, barriers to screening 
and treating pregnant and postpartum patients for opioid use, and 
resources that are needed to improve treatment and referral. No 
information will be collected about individual patients. Survey 
administration and data management will be conducted by ACOG, and 
participation is voluntary. De-identified response data will be shared 
with CDC for analysis. Findings will be used to create recommendations 
for educational programs and patient care. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 120. There are no costs to participants 
other than their time.
