annualized frequency of response (12
per RHCC) is based on ATSDR
assumptions about the number of
patients who will take part in the PAER
survey as described below.
Women who receive preconception or
prenatal care (the second type of
respondents) may respond to the PAER
environmental exposure history by
accessing the online PAER survey
through the application internet home
page or through their RHCC’s email/text
invitation. ATSDR assumes that 5
percent of these women will participate
in PAER over the next three years (or
1.67 percent per year). Using the
3,978,497 births reported in the 2015
U.S. Vital Statistics to represent the
number women who receive
preconception or prenatal care, 1.67
percent equals to 66,441 women who
will take part in the PAER survey each
year. Thus, each RHCCH is assumed to
interact with 12 such patients per year
(66,441/5,338 = 12). The time for
women to respond to the survey is
estimated at 10 minutes per patient.
Participation in the PAER process and
survey is voluntary. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
total annualized time burden requested
is 45,772 hours. A summary of the
estimated annualized burden hours is
shown in the table that follows.

Background
America’s prosperity is being
hampered by preventable chronic
diseases and behavioral health issues.
Life expectancy at birth dropped in the
United States for a second consecutive
year in 2016. Preliminary data indicate
that age-adjusted death rates continued
to rise in 2017, which is likely to mark
a third straight year of declining life
expectancy. The U.S. lags behind
comparable high-income countries on a
range of health outcomes including life
expectancy despite spending more on
health care. About 6 in 10 American
adults have at least one chronic health
condition, and these people account for
90% of total health care spending.
While chronic diseases affect all
populations, they are not evenly
distributed. Disease rates vary by race,
ethnicity, education, geography and
income level, with the most
disadvantaged Americans often
suffering the highest burden of disease.
However, only about 20% of the
factors that influence a person’s health
can be addressed by health care and the
remaining 80% reflect socioeconomic,
environmental or behavioral factors.
Focusing on strategies that address the
social and community conditions could
improve health, life expectancy, and
quality of life, while also reducing
related health care costs and
productivity losses. Investing in

communities to improve the health and
well-being of people could also
revitalize and improve economic
opportunity, enhancing prosperity in
the community and for its residents and
businesses.
Although there are published
literature and several ongoing public,
private and philanthropic initiatives
examining how investments in
community health can enhance wellbeing and economic prosperity, there
has not been a thorough assessment that
compiles the evidence and best
practices to illustrate benefits for the
private sector and local policy makers.
The Surgeon General’s Call to Action is
expected to bridge that gap and inspire
more investments by the private sector
and local policy makers in community
health.

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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
