for final selection. HHS notifies selected
candidates of their appointment near
the start of the term in July 2019, or as
soon as the HHS selection process is
completed. Note that the need for
different expertise varies from year to

in one year may be reconsidered in a
subsequent year.
Nominees must be U.S. citizens, and
cannot be full-time employees of the
U.S. Government. Candidates should

CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.

Proposed Project
Information Collection for Evaluation
of Education, Communication, and
Training Activities for Mobile
Populations (OMB Control Number
0920–0932, Expiration 07/31/2018)—
Revision—National Center for Emerging
and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 67 / Friday, April 6, 2018 / Notices
(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) Division of Global
Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) is
requesting a three-year revision of a
currently approved generic clearance to
conduct evaluation research. This will
help CDC plan and implement health
communication, education, and training
activities to improve health and prevent
the spread of disease. These activities
include communicating, educating, and
training with international travelers and
other mobile populations, training
healthcare providers, and educating
public health departments, federal
partners, and other stakeholders.
The information collection for which
the revision is sought is in accordance
with DGMQ’s mission to reduce
morbidity and mortality among
immigrants, refugees, travelers,
expatriates, and other globally mobile
populations, and to prevent the
introduction, transmission, or spread of
communicable diseases from foreign
countries into the United States. This
mission is supported by delegated legal
authorities outlined in the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264) and
in regulations that are codified in 42
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts
70 and 71, and 34.
Approval of this revision request will
allow DGMQ to continue collecting, in
an expedited manner, information about
the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors
of key audiences (such as refugees,
immigrants, migrants, international
travelers, travel industry partners,
healthcare providers, non-profit
agencies, customs brokers and
forwarders, schools, state and local
health departments) to help improve
and inform these activities during both
routine and emergency public health
events. This generic OMB clearance will
help DGMQ continue to refine these
efforts in a timely manner, and will be
especially valuable for communication
activities that must occur quickly in
response to public health emergencies.
DGMQ staff will use a variety of data
collection methods for this proposed
project: interviews, focus groups,
surveys, and pre/post-tests. Depending
on the research questions and audiences
involved, data may be gathered inperson, by telephone, online, or using
some combination of these formats. Data
may be collected in quantitative and/or
14857
qualitative forms. Numerous audience
variables will be assessed under the
auspices of this generic OMB clearance.
These include, but are not limited to,
knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral
intentions, practices, behaviors, skills,
self-efficacy, and information needs and
sources. Insights gained from evaluation
research will assist in the development,
refinement, implementation, and
demonstration of outcomes and impact
of communication, education, and
training activities.
DGMQ estimates that 17,500
respondents and 7,982 hours of burden
will be involved in evaluation research
activities each year. The information
being collected will not impose a cost
burden on the respondents beyond that
associated with their time to provide the
required data.
For this submission, requested burden
has been reduced from 37,500
respondents and 17,835 burden hours to
17,500 respondents and 7,982 burden
hours due to a reduction in the number
of estimated number of collections per
year from ten to five and a two thirds
reduction in pre- and post-tests
requested for both types of respondents:
healthcare professionals and the general
public.
