Proposed Project
Assessment of Potential Exposure
from Private Wells for Drinking Water
(OMB Control No. 0920–1173, Exp. 03/
31/2020)—Extension—National Center
for Environmental Health (NCEH),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974
(SDWA) ensures that most Americans
are provided access to water that meets
established public health standards.
However, for over 38 million Americans
who rely on private wells or other
drinking water not protected by the
SDWA (herein referred to as private
wells), that is not the case. There is no
comprehensive knowledge about the
locations of private wells, the
populations served by these sources,
potential contaminants that might be
present in private well water in specific
areas of the country, or the potential
health risks associated with drinking
water from these sources.
The purpose of this generic clearance
information collection request (Generic
ICR) is to assess the health risks
associated with exposure to
contaminants in drinking water from
private wells across varied geographic
areas of the United States in partnership
with the requesting agency (state,
territorial, local, or tribal health
department). The information obtained
from these investigations will be used to
describe health risks from exposure to
contaminants in drinking water from
private wells within a defined time
period and geographic distribution. This
information will be used to inform
public health protection activities
conducted by the requesting agencies.
The respondents are defined as adults
at least 18 years old, who use private
wells for drinking water, who are
willing to receive and return a tap water
sampling kit and urine specimen kit or
to provide a blood specimen, and who
are willing to answer survey questions.
They will be recruited from geographic
areas of interest as defined by the
requesting agency.
This is an extension ICR. There are no
changes to the number of respondents or
burden hours requested. Based on our
historical activities, we estimate that
CDC will conduct up to 10
investigations per year. Each
investigation will involve on average
200 respondents, for which CDC will
screen 250 potential respondents. The
total time burden requested is 2,084
hours. There will be no cost to the
respondents other than their time.

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,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

Proposed Project
National Disease Surveillance
Program II Disease Summaries (OMB
Control Number 0920–0004, Expiration
Date 10/31/2020) — Revision —
National Center for Immunization and
Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC requests a three-year approval for
the revision of the National Disease
Surveillance Program II Disease
Summaries information collection. As
with the previous approval, these data
are essential for measuring trends in
diseases, evaluating the effectiveness of
current preventive strategies, and
determining the need to modify current
preventive measures. The following
diseases in this surveillance program are
Influenza Virus, Caliciviruses,
Respiratory and Enteric Viruses.
Proposed revisions include removal of
the National Outbreak Reporting System
(NORS) from this information collection
request (NORS is now being submitted
as its own information collection
request, separate from 0920–0004), and
addition of bocavirus and norovirus to
two worksheets (CDC 55.83A and CDC
55.83D). The data will enable rapid
detection and characterization of
outbreaks of known pathogens, as well
as potential newly emerging viral
pathogens.
The total burden estimate for all
collection instruments in this revision
request is 24,115. The frequency of
response for each form will depend on
the disease and surveillance need. This
reduction in burden hours is primarily
attributed to the removal of NORS from
this information collection.
