Proposed Project Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Follow-up Survey (OMB Control No. 0920–0733, Expiration Date: 8/31/2016)— Reinstatement with Change—National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description NCBDDD promotes the health of babies, children, and adults, with a focus on preventing birth defects and developmental disabilities and optimizing the health outcomes of those with disabilities. As part of these efforts NCBDDD is actively involved in addressing the early identification of hearing loss among newborns and infants. Congenital hearing loss is a common birth defect that affects 1 to 3 per 1,000 live births, or approximately 12,000 children across the United States annually. Studies have shown that children with a delayed diagnosis of hearing loss can experience preventable delays in speech, language, and cognitive development. To ensure children with hearing loss are identified as soon as possible, many states and United States (U.S.) territories have implemented Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs and enacted laws related to infant hearing screening. The majority of these EHDI programs have adopted the ‘‘1–3–6’’ plan, which consists of three core goals: (1) Screening all infants for hearing loss before 1 month of age, (2) ensuring diagnostic audiologic evaluation before 3 months of age for those who do not pass the screening, and (3) enrollment E:\FR\FM\24FEN1.SGM 24FEN1 11577 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 36 / Friday, February 24, 2017 / Notices in early intervention services before six months of age for those identified with hearing loss. Federal support for identifying children with hearing loss began with the Children’s Health Act of 2000, which authorized federal programs to support EHDI activities at the state level. Since then, funds have been distributed to states via cooperative agreements from the CDC and grants from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). States are using these federal monies to enhance EHDI programs and develop corresponding tracking and surveillance systems. These systems are intended to help EHDI programs ensure infants and children are receiving recommended hearing screening, follow-up, and intervention services. The mission of the CDC EHDI team is for every state and U.S. territory to have a complete EHDI tracking and surveillance system that will help ensure infants and children with hearing loss achieve communication and social skills commensurate with their cognitive abilities. As part of this mission the CDC EHDI team, in collaboration with representatives of state and U.S. territorial EHDI programs, developed seven National EHDI Goals that reflect the ‘‘1–3–6 plan’’ and address integration with the medical home (coordinated care by a medical provider) and development of tracking and surveillance systems to minimize loss to follow-up and loss to documentation. Many of the defined performance indicators for these goals involve obtaining data related to the number of children screened for hearing loss, referred for and receiving followup testing (e.g., diagnostic audiologic evaluation) and enrolled in early intervention services. The purpose of the revised survey is to obtain annual state data on the performance indicators in a consistent manner, which is needed to assess progress towards meeting the National EHDI goals. In addition, the availability of these data will better enable the CDC EHDI team to provide technical assistance to states and respond to questions by the general public, policy makers, and Healthy People 2020 officials.

Proposed Project

    Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Follow-up Survey 
(OMB Control No. 0920-0733, Expiration Date: 8/31/2016)--Reinstatement 
with Change--National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental 
Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    NCBDDD promotes the health of babies, children, and adults, with a 
focus on preventing birth defects and developmental disabilities and 
optimizing the health outcomes of those with disabilities. As part of 
these efforts NCBDDD is actively involved in addressing the early 
identification of hearing loss among newborns and infants. Congenital 
hearing loss is a common birth defect that affects 1 to 3 per 1,000 
live births, or approximately 12,000 children across the United States 
annually. Studies have shown that children with a delayed diagnosis of 
hearing loss can experience preventable delays in speech, language, and 
cognitive development. To ensure children with hearing loss are 
identified as soon as possible, many states and United States (U.S.) 
territories have implemented Early Hearing Detection and Intervention 
(EHDI) programs and enacted laws related to infant hearing screening. 
The majority of these EHDI programs have adopted the ``1-3-6'' plan, 
which consists of three core goals: (1) Screening all infants for 
hearing loss before 1 month of age, (2) ensuring diagnostic audiologic 
evaluation before 3 months of age for those who do not pass the 
screening, and (3) enrollment

[[Page 11577]]

in early intervention services before six months of age for those 
identified with hearing loss.
    Federal support for identifying children with hearing loss began 
with the Children's Health Act of 2000, which authorized federal 
programs to support EHDI activities at the state level. Since then, 
funds have been distributed to states via cooperative agreements from 
the CDC and grants from the Health Resources and Services 
Administration (HRSA). States are using these federal monies to enhance 
EHDI programs and develop corresponding tracking and surveillance 
systems. These systems are intended to help EHDI programs ensure 
infants and children are receiving recommended hearing screening, 
follow-up, and intervention services.
    The mission of the CDC EHDI team is for every state and U.S. 
territory to have a complete EHDI tracking and surveillance system that 
will help ensure infants and children with hearing loss achieve 
communication and social skills commensurate with their cognitive 
abilities. As part of this mission the CDC EHDI team, in collaboration 
with representatives of state and U.S. territorial EHDI programs, 
developed seven National EHDI Goals that reflect the ``1-3-6 plan'' and 
address integration with the medical home (coordinated care by a 
medical provider) and development of tracking and surveillance systems 
to minimize loss to follow-up and loss to documentation. Many of the 
defined performance indicators for these goals involve obtaining data 
related to the number of children screened for hearing loss, referred 
for and receiving follow-up testing (e.g., diagnostic audiologic 
evaluation) and enrolled in early intervention services.
    The purpose of the revised survey is to obtain annual state data on 
the performance indicators in a consistent manner, which is needed to 
assess progress towards meeting the National EHDI goals. In addition, 
the availability of these data will better enable the CDC EHDI team to 
provide technical assistance to states and respond to questions by the 
general public, policy makers, and Healthy People 2020 officials.
