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

a collection of information, to search

the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Proposed Project
Congenital Heart Survey To Recognize
Outcomes, Needs, and well-being (CH
STRONG) (OMB Control Number: 0920–
1122, Expiration 07/31/2017)—
Reinstatement with change—National
Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are
the most common type of structural
birth defects, affecting approximately 1
in 110 live-born children. In prior
decades, many CHDs were considered
fatal during infancy or childhood, but
with tremendous advances in pediatric
cardiology and cardiac surgery, at least
85% of patients now survive to
adulthood and there are approximately
1.5 million adults with CHD living in
the United States.
With vast declines in mortality from
pediatric heart disease over the past 30
years, it is vital to evaluate long-term
outcomes and quality of life issues for
adults with CHD. However, U.S. data on
long-term outcomes, quality of life
issues, and comorbidities of adults born
with CHD are lacking. U.S. data is
needed to provide insight into the
public health questions that remain for
this population and to develop services
and allocate resources to improve longterm health and wellbeing.
The initial request for this project was
one year, but there was a delay in
recruitment that results in a change in
the recruitment process. Therefore, an
additional 24 months is being requested.
The three sites decided to conduct more
intensive and time-consuming tracking
and tracing to identify more accurate
contact information for all eligible
individuals. In addition to more
intensive tracking and tracing, the sites
decided to send recruitment materials in
batches rather than all at once. This
ensured that problems with the
recruitment process were caught
immediately and could be modified in
subsequent rounds of recruitment. Due
to these delays and changes in
recruitment process, CH STRONG data
collection is expected to last an
additional 24 months and conclude two
years after receiving an extension from
OMB.

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 20, 2017 / Notices
For this project, we will use data from
U.S. state birth defect surveillance
systems to identify a population-based
sample of individuals 18 to 45 years of
age born with CHD. We will then use an
automated process of searching state
databases and online search engines, as
well as have individuals perform more
time-intensive online searches to find
current addresses for those eligible
participants and mail surveys to them
inquiring about their barriers to health
care, quality of life, social and
educational outcomes, and transition of
care from childhood to adulthood. The
information collected from this
population-based survey will be used to
inform current knowledge, allocate
resources, develop services, and,
ultimately, improve long-term health of
adults born with CHD.
We estimate sending a survey to 4,183
individuals with CHD over a 2-year
period, and receiving completed surveys
from 2,928 individuals (70%). The
survey takes approximately 20 minutes
to complete. The contact information
form takes approximately two minutes
to complete. There are no costs to
participants other than their time. The
total estimated annual burden hours are
711.

Title: Administration for Children &

Management System (ECMRS).
OMB No.: Revision of 0970–0461.
Description: The recent climatic
events of Hurricane Harvey and
Hurricane Irma have created
catastrophic disasters in Texas,
Louisiana, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin
Islands, and Florida. President Trump
has declared these climatic events as
major disaster declarations. FEMA is
providing assistances to these states and
territories under declaration numbers
DR–4332 & DR–4337.
There are looming public health
issues related to flooding, and especially
among at risk populations. Risks
include contracting water-borne and
vector-borne diseases, substance abuse,
and mental health concerns, including
PTSD, depression, anxiety, and
homelessness.
Therefore, it is essential for the
mission of ACF to activate the
Immediate Disaster Case Management
(IDCM) Electronic Case Management
Record System (ECMRS). The ECMRS
will be used to collect and manage
information from the disaster affected
clients. This information includes
demographics, disaster caused unmet
needs, and referrals provided. The
information collected is critical to
develop a recovery plan for each
survivor.
Respondents: Clients.
