SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search

data sources, to complete and review

Proposed Project
Effective Communication in Public
Health Emergencies—Developing
Community-Centered Tools for People
with Special Health Care Needs—New—
Office of Public Health Preparedness
and Response (OPHPR), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Individuals with access and mobility
challenges, chronic illness, intellectual
and developmental disabilities, and
other communication difficulties
require targeted messages before,
during, and after disasters to ensure that
they fully appreciate the risks to their
health and safety and can take measures
to avoid harm. Significant research has
highlighted the unique information
needs for at-risk populations in general,
as well as more specific populations
such as minority communities, limitedEnglish proficiency communities, and
persons with physical or
communication disabilities. However,
there has been minimal translation of
this research into practical tools for
sharing information, nor has the
research been extended to the families
of children and youth with special
heath care needs.
Research has also shown that families
and individuals are more likely to
prepare for emergencies or follow
health-related emergency directives
when the information comes from a
health care professional, particularly
someone engaged in their care. There is
very little information about the
capacity of these trusted sources to
reach at-risk individuals during
disasters, or their coordination with
government risk communication efforts.
Finally, although social media is used
by at-risk populations on a daily basis,
relatively little is known about how
these populations use social media
during disasters, as the majority of the
studies analyzing channels used by atrisk populations were completed before
the widespread use of social media in
disasters.
This study will utilize a multi-tiered,
mixed methods approach to data
collection to study the communication
needs of two target populations during
disasters: Families with children and
youth with special health care needs
(CYSHCN); and individuals with
Autism Spectrum Disorders, as well as
families with children who have Autism
Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Data
collection will consist of surveys, as
E:\FR\FM\20SEN1.SGM
20SEN1
43985
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 20, 2017 / Notices
well as focus groups and interviews. For
each population, we will collect data
from (1) families (i.e., parents/caregivers
of children and adolescents, as well as
adolescents themselves) with special
health care needs and ASD; and (2) the
medical, social service and other
providers who serve them. In addition,
we will collect data from emergencyresponse agency representatives and
experts in health information and
communications technology to ask
cross-cutting questions regarding the
use of technology to communicate
during disasters, and the perspectives
in the collection of data or otherwise
have contact with the participants.
Drexel will store all the data, and CDC
will only receive coded and aggregated
data so it will not be possible to link
responses with individual subjects. Data
will be treated in a secure manner and
will not be disclosed, unless otherwise
compelled by law.
The total estimated annualized time
burden to respondents is 419 hours.
This information collection request is
a new request and approval is requested
for 24 months.
and needs of individuals and agencies
charged with leading disaster response
efforts.
The data resulting from this study
will be used to develop specific tools,
protocols, and message templates that
can be used for communicating during
emergencies and disasters with families
with CYSHCN and ASD.
CDC plans to begin the information
collection one month after OMB
approval and continue for twenty two
months. Information in identifiable form
will not be linked to interview
responses. No CDC staff will participate
