Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review, 3914-3915 [2020-01047]

Download as PDF 3914 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 15 / Thursday, January 23, 2020 / Notices the Candida Monthly Data Report is two hours. The use of ARLN Alerts encompass targeted AR threats that include new and rare plasmid-mediated (‘‘jumping’’) carbapenemase genes, isolates that are non-susceptible to all drugs tested, and detection of novel resistance mechanisms. These alerts must be sent within one working day of detection. The elements of these messages include the unique public health laboratory specimen ID and a summary of specimen testing results generated to date. With the conversion to HL7 messaging of these data will be transmitted in real-time, thus eliminating the need to send alerts. Until that time, REDCap will be utilized to communicate alerts. CDC estimates that public health laboratories send an average of 34 ARLN Alerts per lab each year, with an estimated burden per response of 0.1 hours. The estimated burden of response for Candida identification is also 0.1 hours, though far fewer alerts are reported yearly (estimated to be approximately 700 total per year including all 55 jurisdictions, averaging to 13 per each jurisdiction). The total estimated annualized burden across all AR Lab Network labs and activities for DHQP is 4555 hours. Public Health laboratories receive federal funds through CDC’s Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (ELC) mechanism to participate in this project.

Proposed Project Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB): Assessment of Processes and Outcomes—New—Center for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support (CSTLTS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) works to protect America from health, safety and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S. CDC strives to fulfill this mission, in part, by supporting state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) health departments. One mechanism for supporting STLT health departments is through CDC’s support of a national, voluntary accreditation program. CDC supports the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB), a nonprofit organization that serves as the independent accrediting body. PHAB, with considerable input from national, state, tribal, and local public health professionals, developed a consensus set of standards to assess the capacity of state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments. The first health departments were accredited by PHAB in early 2013; as of August 2019, a total of 268 health departments (36 state, three Tribal and 229 local) as well as one statewide integrated local public health department system have been E:\FR\FM\23JAN1.SGM 23JAN1 3915 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 15 / Thursday, January 23, 2020 / Notices accredited. Accreditation is granted for a five-year period and the first several health departments have successfully completed the reaccreditation process. Formal efforts to assess the outcomes of the accreditation program began in late 2012 and continue to date. Priorities focus on gathering feedback for program improvement and documenting program outcomes to demonstrate impact and inform decision making about future program direction. Starting in 2012 and running through December 2019, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the social science organization NORC at the University of Chicago, led evaluation efforts. CDC will assume support of the evaluation starting in 2020 and as a result, OMB approval for data collection is being sought. The purpose of this ICR is to support the collection of information from participating health departments through a series of five surveys. The surveys seek to collect longitudinal data on each health department throughout their accreditation process. The respondent universe will include STLT health department directors or designees. All surveys will be administered electronically; a link to the survey website will be provided in the email invitation. The surveys will be administered on a quarterly basis and sent to all health departments that reach each milestone in the accreditation process (application, recently accredited, accredited for one year, approaching reaccreditation, and reaccreditation). Each health department will be invited to participate in each survey once (for a total of 5 surveys max per health department). The total annualized estimated burden is 100 hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
