Proposed Project Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) (OMB Control Number 0920–1036, Expiration 12/31/2017)—Revision— National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) is requesting a revision of a currently approved generic information collection plan to reduce the number of burden hours associated with conducting Community Assessments for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPERs). Specifically, NCEH seeks to make the following changes: • Decrease the number of proposed CASPERs conducted annually from 15 to 6. • Decrease the number of total annual respondents from 3,200 to 1,284, resulting in a burden reduction of 946 hours. • Update respondent costs to reflect current wage data from 2015. CASPER is an effective public health tool designed to quickly provide lowcost, household-based information about a community’s needs and health status in a simple, easy-to-understand format for decision-makers during a public health emergency. A CASPER can be conducted as part of disaster/ emergency response to help inform decision-making and resource distribution. CASPERs comprise household interviews (approximately 30-minutes long) with an adult (≥18 years of age) household member. Households are identified using a 2-stage process so that they are representative of an entire area. Data are collected about the current household needs (e.g., water, medicine, medical services), aggregated, and provided to the state or other responding agency. Each time a CASPER is conducted, it is tailored to the current needs of public health and, if appropriate, emergency managers. Because these CASPERs are requested by states during disasters or emergencies, it is important that CDC have the ability to gain urgent approval for data collection. In the past three years, CDC has conducted two CASPERs. These CASPERs were in support of the California Drought in Mariposa County and the West Virginia Flooding of 2016.
