Background and Brief Description
In order to accurately monitor trends
in cancer incidence and evaluate control
measures among the U.S. fire service,
Congress passed the Firefighter Cancer
Registry Act of 2018. Under this
legislation, CDC/NIOSH was directed to
create a registry of U.S. firefighters for
the purpose of monitoring cancer
incidence and risk factors among the
current U.S. fire service. Funding of the
project was authorized through this
legislation for five years as of fiscal year
risk and/or improve early detection of
cancer among firefighters.
The below table outlines the
estimated time burden for participants
enrolling in the NFR. There are three
corresponding documents to be
completed as part of the enrollment
process; the Informed Consent, User
Profile, and Enrollment Questionnaire.
The estimated time burden for the
Informed Consent and User Profile are
five minutes each, and an estimated
twenty minute burden for enrollment
questionnaire and 33,354 in burden
hours.
2019. NIOSH is requesting a three year
approval for the package.
The main goal of the National
Firefighter Registry (NFR), according the
Firefighter Cancer Registry Act of 2018,
is, ‘‘to develop and maintain a voluntary
registry of firefighters to collect relevant
health and occupational information of
such firefighters for purposes of
determining cancer incidence.’’ Results
from the NFR will provide information
for decision makers within the fire
service and medical or public health
community to devise and implement
policies and procedures to lessen cancer

Public Comment: Individuals who
would like to make public comments for
the June meeting must indicate their

Background on the CPSTF: The
CPSTF is an independent, nonfederal
panel whose members are appointed by
the CDC Director. CPSTF members
represent a broad range of research,
practice, and policy expertise in
prevention, wellness, health promotion,
and public health. The CPSTF was
convened in 1996 by the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) to
identify community preventive
programs, services, and policies that
increase healthy longevity, save lives
and dollars, and improve Americans’
quality of life. CDC is mandated to
provide ongoing administrative,
research, and technical support for the
operations of the CPSTF. During its
E:\FR\FM\27APN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 81 / Monday, April 27, 2020 / Notices
meetings, the CPSTF considers the
findings of systematic reviews on
existing research and practice-based
evidence and issues recommendations.
CPSTF recommendations are not
mandates for compliance or spending.
Instead, they provide information about
evidence-based options that decision
makers and stakeholders can consider
when they are determining what best
meets the specific needs, preferences,
available resources, and constraints of
their jurisdictions and constituents. The
CPSTF’s recommendations, along with
the systematic reviews of the evidence
on which they are based, are compiled
in the The Community Guide.
Matters proposed for discussion:
Information regarding any changes to
the start and end times for the meeting,
if required, and the agenda topics will
be available on the Community Guide
website (www.thecommunityguide.org)
closer to the dates of the meeting.
The meeting agendas are subject to
change without notice.
All meeting attendees must register by
the dates outlined under Meeting
Accessability.
Dated: April 21, 2020.

Proposed Project
Environmental Public Health
Tracking Network (Tracking Network)
(OMB Control No. 0920–1175, Exp. 04/
30/2020)—Revision—National Center
for Environmental Health (NCEH),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In September 2000, the Pew
Environmental Health Commission
issued a report entitled ‘‘America’s
Environmental Health Gap: Why the
Country Needs a Nationwide Health
Tracking Network.’’ In this report, the
Commission documented that the
existing environmental health systems
were inadequate and fragmented and
recommended a ‘‘Nationwide Health
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Tracking Network for disease and
exposures.’’ In response to the report,
Congress appropriated funds in the
fiscal year 2002’s budget for the CDC to
establish the National Environmental
Public Health Tracking Network
(Tracking Network).
Continuously since 2008, and at the
national level, the program collects data
from (1) other CDC programs such as the
National Center for Health Statistics, (2)
other federal agencies such as the
Environmental Protection Agency, (3)
publicly accessible systems such as the
Census Bureau, and (4) funded and
unfunded state and local health
departments (SLHD). These data are
integrated into and disseminated from
the Tracking Network and used for
analyses which can inform national
programs, interventions, or policies;
guide further development and
activities within the Tracking Program;
or advance the practice and science of
environmental public health tracking.
The Tracking Program also collects
information from funded SLHD to
monitor their progress related to their
funding and for program evaluation.
This information collection request
(ICR) is focused on data and information
gathered by the Tracking Program from
SLHD. The CDC requests a three-year
approval to revise the ‘‘Environmental
Public Health Tracking Network
(Tracking Network)’’ (OMB Control No.
0920–1175; Expiration Date 04/30/
2020). Specifically, CDC seeks to make
the following changes:
1. For Tracking Data, minor changes
are requested for the Radon Testing
Form—removed 33 elements and added
four elements.
2. For Program Data, minor changes
are requested for the following
instruments:
a. EPHT Work Plan—added ten
keyword questions.
b. Public Health Action Report—
added four questions.
c. Performance Measurement Strategy
Report—removed two questions/
elements and reduce reporting to once
a year.
d. Communication Plan Template and
Guide—streamlined template for more
efficient reporting.
e. Partnership Plan Template and
Guide—partnership plan was separated
from communication plan for clarity.
f. Website Analytics Template—
created an excel reporting template with
one cell for each question.
3. Add four respondents to the 26
SLHDs currently funded to account for
the data voluntarily received from
unfunded SLHDs and to allow for
potential program growth over the next
three years.
