frequency of use characteristics between
the convenience sample and EVALI
cases to prioritize follow up on
hypotheses about potential risk factors
and causes of the outbreak as well as to
refine, target, and prioritize additional
information gathering, e.g.,
epidemiological analyses, laboratory
testing, and analysis of pathological
specimen.
The proposed approach leverages on
an opt-in internet panel survey to
rapidly collect specific information on a
demographically and geographically
diverse convenience sample of
individuals who report vaping THC but
have not developed EVALI. Because
such sampling frame is not population
representative and not suitable for
generalizing about populations, only unweighted data will be obtained from the
opt-in internet panel survey and only
unweighted, aggregate results will be
shared with partners or publicly. The
data collected will not be used to
produce national, regional, or state-
representative estimates; rather, the data
will be used to help prioritize
hypotheses for future epidemiological,
laboratory, and clinical analyses as part
of CDC’s ongoing lung injury response.
There is no cost to respondents other
than the time to participate. The
annualized burden is estimated at 5,000
hours. Authorizing legislation comes
from Section 301 of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241).

Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled ‘‘The Maternal
Mortality Review Information
Application (MMRIA)’’ 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 June 20,
2019 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC
received four 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.

Proposed Project
The Maternal Mortality Review
Information Application (MMRIA)—
New—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) seeks OMB approval
to collect information through the
Maternal Mortality Review Information
Application (MMRIA) for three years.
MMRIA is a standardized data
collection system that allows Maternal
Mortality Review Committees (MMRCs)
across the country to abstract relevant
data (clinical and non-clinical) from a
variety of sources, document committee
decisions, and analyze data in order to
better understand the contributing
factors and preventability of maternal
deaths and thus to develop
recommendations for prevention.
About 700 women die each year in
the United States as a result of
pregnancy or delivery complications, a
chain of events initiated by pregnancy,
or the aggravation of an unrelated
condition by the physiologic effects of
pregnancy. Furthermore, considerable
racial disparities exist, with black
women almost four times more likely to
die from pregnancy-related
complications than white women.

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 246 / Monday, December 23, 2019 / Notices
Findings from MMRCs indicate that
more than half of maternal deaths are
preventable.
Maternal Mortality Review is a
process by which a multidisciplinary
committee at the jurisdiction level
identifies and reviews cases of maternal
death within one year of end of
pregnancy. Members of MMRCs
typically represent public health,
obstetrics and gynecology, maternalfetal medicine, nursing, midwifery,
forensic pathology, mental and
behavioral health, and other relevant
stakeholders. Through a partnership
among the MMRC, state vital records
office, and epidemiologists, deaths
among women of reproductive age are
examined to determine if they occurred
during pregnancy or within one year of
the end of pregnancy (i.e., pregnancyassociated deaths). Through this
process, potential cases of pregnancyrelated deaths (i.e., maternal death from
any cause related to or aggravated by
pregnancy or its management) are then
identified. Review committees access
multiple sources of clinical and nonclinical information to understand the
circumstances surrounding a maternal
death in order to develop
recommendations for action to prevent
similar deaths in the future.
MMRIA is a standardized data
collection system designed to collect
timely, accurate, and standardized
information about deaths to women
during pregnancy and within one year
of end of pregnancy, including
opportunities for prevention, within and
across jurisdictions. Data will be
abstracted and entered into MMRIA
from various sources, including death
certificates, autopsy reports, birth
certificates, prenatal care records,
emergency room visit records,
hospitalization records, records from
other medical office visits, medical
transport records, social and
environmental profiles, mental health
profiles, and informant interviews. Case
narratives for committee reviews are
auto-populated from the abstracted data
entered into MMRIA to facilitate
committee review, and committee
decisions will also be entered into
MMRIA.
The data collected in MMRIA will be
used to facilitate an understanding of
the drives of maternal mortality and
complications of pregnancy and
associated disparities; determine what
interventions at patient, provider,
facility, system, and community levels
will have the most impact; and
implement data driven
recommendations.
The burden estimates presented here
are applicable to the estimated 25
awardees of the cooperative agreement
Preventing Maternal Deaths: Supporting
Maternal Mortality Review Committees
(CDC–RFA–DP19–1908); these awardees
are required to compile a defined set of
information about maternal deaths into
MMRIA. It is estimated that information
will be collected for a total of 740
pregnancy-associated deaths on average,
annually, among the 25 awardees.
Burden is estimated based on each
awardee’s total staff time to enter the
abstracted data into MMRIA and enter
the committee decision. The annual
burden is estimated to be 11,550 hours.
