Proposed Project
Information Collections to Advance
State, Tribal, Local and Territorial
(STLT) Governmental Agency and
System Performance, Capacity, and
Program Delivery (OMB Control No.
0920–0879, Exp. 3/31/2018)—
Extension—Office for State, Tribal Local
and Territorial Support (OSTLTS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The mission of the Department of
Health and Human Services is to help
provide the building blocks that
Americans need to live healthy,
successful lives. As part of HHS, CDC’s
mission is to create the expertise,
information, and tools that people and
communities need to protect their
health—through health promotion,
prevention of disease, injury and
disability, and preparedness for new
health threats. CDC and HHS seek to
accomplish its mission by collaborating
with partners throughout the nation and
the world to: Monitor health, detect and
investigate health problems, conduct
research to enhance prevention, develop
and advocate sound public health
policies, implement prevention
strategies, promote healthy behaviors,
foster safe and healthful environments,
and provide leadership and training.
CDC is requesting a three-year
approval for a generic clearance to
collect information related to domestic
public health issues and services that
affect and/or involve state, tribal, local
and territorial (STLT) government
entities.
The respondent universe is comprised
of STLT governmental staff or delegates
acting on behalf of a STLT agency
involved in the provision of essential
public health services in the United
States. Delegate is defined as a
governmental or non-governmental
agent (agency, function, office or
individual) acting for a principal or
submitted by another to represent or act
on their behalf. The STLT agency is
represented by a STLT entity or delegate
with a task to protect and/or improve
the public’s health.
Information will be used to assess
situational awareness of current public
health emergencies; make decisions that
affect planning, response and recovery
activities of subsequent emergencies; fill
CDC and HHS gaps in knowledge of
programs and/or STLT governments that
will strengthen surveillance,
epidemiology, and laboratory science;
improve CDC’s support and technical
assistance to states and communities.
CDC and HHS will conduct brief data
collections, across a range of public
health topics related to essential public
health services.
CDC estimates up to 30 data
collections with STLT governmental
staff or delegates, and 10 data
collections with local/county/city
governmental staff or delegates will be
conducted on an annual basis. Ninetyfive percent of these data collections
will be web-based and five percent
telephone, in-person, and focus groups.
The total annualized burden of 54,000
hours is based on the following
estimates.
