pilot prevention/intervention projects;
and (4) flexible response to public
health emergencies. Activities of the
EIPs are designed to: (1) Address issues
that the EIP network is particularly
suited to investigate; (2) maintain
sufficient flexibility for emergency
response and new problems as they
arise; (3) develop and evaluate public
health interventions to inform public
EIP to better detect, identify, track
changes in laboratory testing
methodology, gather information about
laboratory utilization in the EIP
catchment area to ensure that all cases
are being captured, and survey EIP staff
to evaluate program quality.
The total estimated burden is 40,601
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.
health policy and treatment guidelines;
(4) incorporate training as a key
function; and (5) prioritize projects that
lead directly to the prevention of
disease.
A revision is being submitted to make
existing collection instruments clearer

National Provider Survey
Under the 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.
The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires federal agencies to publish a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this
notice.

Sfmt 4703
Security Act (the Act) requires the
Secretary of HHS every three years to
assess the quality and efficiency effects
of the use of endorsed measures in
specific Medicare quality reporting and
incentive programs. This request is for
review and approval of a survey and
qualitative interview guide for the home
health setting, which CMS proposes to
use to address critical needs regarding
the impact of use of quality and
efficiency measures in the home health
setting, including the burden they
impose on home health agencies.
CMS plans to use the findings from
surveys and qualitative interviews for
multiple purposes. The qualitative
interviews and standardized survey will
inform CMS about the impact of
measures used to assess care in HHAs.
The surveys will help CMS understand
whether the use of performance
measures has been associated with
changes in HHA behavior—namely,
what quality improvements (QI)
investments HHAs are making and
whether adoption of QI changes is
associated with higher performance on
the measures. The survey will help CMS
identify characteristics associated with
high performance, which, if understood,
could be used to leverage improvements
in care among lower-performing HHAs.
The survey and interviews, assuming
approval by August 2019, would be
fielded from fall 2019 through spring
2020. Form Number: CMS–10688 (OMB
control number: 0938–NEW);

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

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, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
4. 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
submissions of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Emerging Infections Program OMB# 0920-0978 Exp. Date: 05/31/2021--
Revision--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Emerging Infections Programs (EIPs) are population-based
centers of excellence established through a network of state health
departments collaborating with academic institutions; local health
departments; public health and clinical laboratories; infection control
professionals; and healthcare providers. EIPs assist in local, state,
and national efforts to prevent, control, and monitor the public health
impact of infectious diseases.
Activities of the EIPs fall into the following general categories:
(1) Active surveillance; (2) applied public health epidemiologic and
laboratory activities; (3) implementation and evaluation of
[[Page 57489]]
pilot prevention/intervention projects; and (4) flexible response to
public health emergencies. Activities of the EIPs are designed to: (1)
Address issues that the EIP network is particularly suited to
investigate; (2) maintain sufficient flexibility for emergency response
and new problems as they arise; (3) develop and evaluate public health
interventions to inform public health policy and treatment guidelines;
(4) incorporate training as a key function; and (5) prioritize projects
that lead directly to the prevention of disease.
A revision is being submitted to make existing collection
instruments clearer and to add several new forms specifically surveying
laboratory practices. These forms will allow the EIP to better detect,
identify, track changes in laboratory testing methodology, gather
information about laboratory utilization in the EIP catchment area to
ensure that all cases are being captured, and survey EIP staff to
evaluate program quality.
The total estimated burden is 40,601 hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
