to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or

agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology

Proposed Project
Who’s at Risk: From Hazards to
Communities—An Approach for
Operationalizing CDC Guidelines to
Determine Risks, and Define, Locate and
Reach At-Risk Populations in Public
Health Emergencies—New—Office of
Public Health Preparedness and
Response (OPHPR), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Risk Assessment, Mapping, and
Planning (RAMP) tool is currently being
approximately $20,000 (costs for
convening workshops to engage survey
respondents). There is no annual
reporting or record-keeping burden. It is
anticipated that participation in focus
group questionnaires will occur as part
(workshop, breakout group sessions) of
pre-identified emergency preparedness/
management meetings, conferences,
and/or summits, in which participants
will already be in attendance or
participating in. As such, it is
anticipated that participation in the
focus group questionnaires will not
result in any additional costs to, or
burden on the vast majority of
participants. For those few participants
who may see an increased cost or
burden on them through participation in
focus group questionnaires, the
proposed costs of participation are
estimated at: $35.46 for one hour
participation in a focus group
questionnaire. Mean Hourly Wage of
Emergency Management Directors
(occupational code 11–9161): $35.46.
(Source: U.S. Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational
Employment and Wages, May 2015).
LA County Public Health Clinic
Guests:
Information collection will involve
approximately 1,500 surveys and will be
administered by DPH Staff and
volunteers and will not require any
costs to administer. It is anticipated that
those individuals participating in the
Public Health Client Surveys will do so
while waiting for clinic services in
clinic waiting rooms, and as such will
not require any additional cost or
burden to their participation. For those
few participants who may see an
increased cost or burden on them
through participation in Public Health
Client Surveys, the proposed costs of
participation are estimated at: $0.90 for
completing one five minute survey.
California State Minimum Wage: $10.50
per hour. (Source: State of California,
Department of Industrial Relations,
Schedule for California Minimum Wage
rate 2017–2023).
The total estimated burden is 225
hours.
developed by CDC for public health and
medical emergency planners (especially
Public Health Emergency Preparedness
and Hospital Preparedness Program
awardees) to assess and quantify risk,
identify and map at-risk populations,
and to determine response objectives for
hazard-specific public health emergency
plans at all jurisdictional levels in the
United States.
To assist in developing this tool, key
informant interviews/focus groups will
be conducted with public health and
emergency management professionals
from across the United States. And to
understand the needs of at-risk
populations, an anonymous survey will
be conducted at Los Angeles County
Department of Public Health clinics.
CDC is proposing an information
collection to OMB to obtain subject
matter expertise and feedback for pilot
testing the RAMP tool and anonymous
demographic information from LA
County DPH clinic guests. CDC will use
the data to develop the RAMP tool.
Public health and emergency manager
respondents in pre-identified partner
jurisdictions will participate in the
interview and focus groups.
Los Angeles Department of Public
Health Clinic guests will be offered an
anonymous survey at the time of service
registration.
All information will be collected on
paper surveys and entered into a
secured database. All paper surveys will
be locked in the secure offices of the Los
Angeles County Department of Public
Health Emergency Preparedness and
Response Program. All information will
be disseminated and/or reported in
aggregate form only.
It is anticipated that the focus group/
interview and survey data collections
will begin three months after OMB
approval, beginning in the fall of 2017
and continuing for the duration of the
project (through September 25, 2019).
OMB approval is being requested for
two years from the date of approval.

Cost Estimate
Public Health and Medical Emergency Planner Focus Group
Questionnaire:
Information collection will involve approximately 100 surveys at
approximately $20,000 (costs for convening workshops to engage survey
respondents). There is no annual reporting or record-keeping burden. It
is anticipated that participation in focus group questionnaires will
occur as part (workshop, breakout group sessions) of pre-identified
emergency preparedness/management meetings, conferences, and/or
summits, in which participants will already be in attendance or

focus group questionnaires will not result in any additional costs to,
or burden on the vast majority of participants. For those few
participants who may see an increased cost or burden on them through
participation in focus group questionnaires, the proposed costs of
participation are estimated at: $35.46 for one hour participation in a
focus group questionnaire. Mean Hourly Wage of Emergency Management
Directors (occupational code 11-9161): $35.46. (Source: U.S. Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and
Wages, May 2015).
LA County Public Health Clinic Guests:
Information collection will involve approximately 1,500 surveys and
will be administered by DPH Staff and volunteers and will not require
any costs to administer. It is anticipated that those individuals
participating in the Public Health Client Surveys will do so while
waiting for clinic services in clinic waiting rooms, and as such will
not require any additional cost or burden to their participation. For
those few participants who may see an increased cost or burden on them
through participation in Public Health Client Surveys, the proposed
costs of participation are estimated at: $0.90 for completing one five
minute survey. California State Minimum Wage: $10.50 per hour. (Source:

The total estimated burden is 225 hours.
