feedback on the course content and
effectiveness. In summary, the feedback
information will help ATSDR determine
impacts of the certification course in
building capacity and skills in
environmental health and land reuse.
Without this information, ATSDR will
not be able to assess the effectiveness of
the certification in terms of building
participants’ capacity in environmental
health and land reuse activities. In
addition, ATSDR can generalize
feedback from course participants to
create new materials that can support
additional capacity-building for health
agencies to increase their involvement
in environmental health and land reuse
activities.
This one time follow up information
collection will occur through support of
collaborators National Environmental
Health Association (NEHA) as well as
other partners (e.g. tribal entities) who
will provide participant names and
emails for users who have taken the
training in order to conduct a one time
follow up survey. ATSDR will collect
feedback data about the certification
course. The feedback data will center
around participant’s assessment of their
own potentially increased skills in
environmental health and land reuse as
a result of the certification and use of
subsequent certification components.
Participation in this proposed
information collection is completely
voluntary. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
total time burden is estimated to be 67
hours.

In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Asthma
Information Reporting System (AIRS) to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval. CDC
previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data
Collection Submitted for Public
Comment and Recommendations’’
notice on December 6, 2018 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC did not receive comments
related to the previous notice. This
notice serves to allow an additional 30
days for public and affected agency
comments.
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.

Background and Brief Description
In 1999, the CDC began its National
Asthma Control Program (NACP), a
public health approach to address the
burden of asthma. The program
supports the goals and objectives of
‘‘Healthy People 2020’’ for asthma and
is based on the public health principles
of surveillance, partnerships,
interventions, and evaluation. The CDC
requests a 12-month approval to revise
the ‘‘Asthma Information Reporting
System (AIRS)’’ (OMB Control No.
0920–0853, Expiration Date 6/30/2019).
Specifically, CDC seeks to make the
following changes:
• Increase the number of awardees
from 23 to 25.
• Increase the requested burden hours
from 82 to 89.
• Increase the number of optional
performance measures (PMs) and
decrease the number of required PMs,
while still maintaining a total of 18
PMs.
• Update the instructions for the data
collection instruments to reflect the
optional status of 5 of the 18 PMs and
to clarify instructions that were
commonly misinterpreted.
• Update the Emergency Department
Data and Hospital Discharge Data
reporting forms to include example data
submission templates for each awardee.
Add a tab labeled ‘‘Technical Notes’’
within the Excel reporting form to
collect clarifying information about the
data from each awardee.
• Add examples of Emergency
Department Data and Hospital Discharge
Data reporting forms to provide clarity
on how data should be reported within
the forms.

02APN1
12609
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 63 / Tuesday, April 2, 2019 / Notices
• Update respondent costs to reflect
current wage data from 2017.
The 12-month approval will allow
CDC to continue to monitor states’
program planning and delivery of public
health activities and the programs’
collaboration with health care systems
for the remainder of the fifth and final
year of cooperative agreement EH14–
1404 (program period: September
2014—August 2019), and the third and
final year of cooperative agreement
EH16–1606 (program period: September
2016—August 2019).
The goal of this data collection is to
provide NCEH with routine information
about the activities and performance of
the state and territorial awardees funded
under the NACP through an annual
reporting system. NACP requires
awardees to report activities related to
partnerships, infrastructure, evaluation
and interventions to monitor the state
programs’ performance in reducing the
burden of asthma. AIRS also includes
two forms to collect aggregate ED and
HD data from awardees.
AIRS was first approved by OMB in
2010 to collect data in a web-based
system to monitor and guide
participating state health departments.
Since implementation in 2010, AIRS
and the technical assistance provided by
CDC staff have provided states with
uniform data reporting methods and
linkages to other states’ asthma program
information and resources. Thus, AIRS
has saved state resources and staff time
when asthma programs embark on
asthma activities similar to those done
elsewhere.
In the past three years, AIRS data
were used to:
• Serve as a resource to NCEH when
addressing congressional, departmental
and institutional inquiries.
• Help the branch align its current
interventions with CDC goals and
allowed the monitoring of progress
toward these goals.
• Allow the NACP and the state
asthma programs to make more
informed decisions about activities to
achieve objectives.
• Facilitate communication about
interventions across states, and enable
inquiries regarding interventions by
populations with a disproportionate
burden, age groups, geographic areas
and other variables of interest.
• Provide feedback to the grantees
about their performance relative to
others through the distribution of two
written reports and several
presentations (webinar and in-person)
summarizing the results.
• Customize and provide technical
assistance and support materials to
address implementation challenges.
There will be no cost to respondents
other than their time to complete the
three AIRS spreadsheets annually. The
estimated annualized burden hours are
89.
