Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 139 / Monday, July 20, 2020 / Notices
reliable and resilient 911
communications, particularly in times
of emergency, by requiring certain 911
service providers to certify
implementation of key best practices or
reasonable alternative measures. The
information will be collected in the
form of an electronically-filed, annual
certification from each covered 911
service provider, as defined in the
Commission’s 2013 Report and Order,
in which the provider will indicate
whether it has implemented certain
industry-backed best practices.
Providers that are able to respond in the
affirmative to all elements of the
certification will be deemed to satisfy
the ‘‘reasonable measures’’ requirement
in Section 9.19(b) of the Commission’s
rules. If a provider does not certify in
the affirmative with respect to one or
more elements of the certification, it
must provide a brief explanation of
what alternative measures it has taken,
in light of the provider’s particular facts
and circumstances, to ensure reliable
911 service with respect to that
element(s). Similarly, a service provider
may also respond by demonstrating that
a particular certification element is not
applicable to its networks and must
include a brief explanation of why the
element(s) does not apply.
The information will be collected by
the Public Safety and Homeland
Security Bureau, FCC, for review and
analysis, to verify that covered 911
service providers are taking reasonable
measures to maintain reliable 911
service. In certain cases, based on the
information included in the
certifications and subsequent
coordination with the provider, the
Commission may require remedial
action to correct vulnerabilities in a
service provider’s 911 network if it
determines that (a) the service provider
has not, in fact, adhered to the best
practices incorporated in the FCC’s
rules, or (b) in the case of providers
employing alternative measures, that
those measures were not reasonably
sufficient to mitigate the associated risks
of failure in these key areas. The
Commission delegated authority to the
Bureau to review certification
information and follow up with service
providers as appropriate to address
deficiencies revealed by the certification
process.
The purpose of the collection of this
information is to verify that covered 911
service providers are taking reasonable
measures such that their networks
comply with accepted best practices,
and that, in the event they are not able
to certify adherence to specific best
practices, that they are taking reasonable
alternative measures. The Commission
VerDate Sep<11>2014

adopted these rules in light of
widespread 911 outages during the June
2012 derecho storm in the Midwest and
Mid-Atlantic states, which revealed that
multiple service providers did not take
adequate precautions to maintain
reliable service.

ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on a
proposed information collection project
titled ‘‘Awardee Lead Profile

United States, and strategies for
implementing childhood lead poisoning
prevention activities in the United
States.
SUMMARY:
CDC must receive written
comments on or before September 18,
2020.

Please note: Submit all comments through
the Federal eRulemaking portal
(regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
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
collected; and
4. 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 submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project
Awardee Lead Profile Assessment
(ALPA) (OMB Control No. 0920–1215,
Exp. 02/28/2021)—Revision—National
Center for Environmental Health
(NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is requesting
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
clearance for a three-year revised
information collection request (ICR)
titled ‘‘Awardee Lead Profile
Assessment (ALPA)’’ (OMB Control No.
0920–1215; expiration date of 02/28/
2021). The goal of this ICR is to build
on the CDC’s existing childhood lead
poisoning prevention program. Based on
program successes over the past three
years, CDC has made ALPA an annual
reporting requirement for ongoing and
new CDC Childhood Lead Poisoning
Prevention Programs (CLPPPs),
including the FY17 ‘‘Lead Poisoning
Prevention—Childhood Lead Poisoning
Prevention—financed partially by
Prevention and Public Health Funds’’
(CDC–RFA–EH17–1701PPHF17); the
FY18 ‘‘Childhood Lead Poisoning
Prevention Projects, State and Local
Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention
and Surveillance of Blood Lead Levels
CDC will continue to use two data
collection modes, a web survey and an
email survey. We anticipate that most of
the respondents (n = 60; 98 percent) will
use the web survey. The estimates of the
number and percentage of respondents
by mode of data collection are based on
previous data collections. In the past,
respondents only used the email survey
if they had technical difficulties with
the web survey, which was rare. For this
purpose, we estimate that only 2% (n =
1) of the respondents may need to
submit an email survey. This represents
a change in distribution from the 2018
estimates, which were initially assumed
as 83.3% for the web survey and 16.7%
for the email survey.
A redistribution by mode of collection
will not affect the total time burden
requested as the time per response is the
same for either mode; however, the time
to take the survey has increased from
seven minutes in 2018 to 47 minutes per
response due to a revision of the survey.
This revised time estimate per response
is based on pilot tests of the revised
survey among nine respondents, and
includes the time needed to review the
ALPA Training Manual, which is a new
addition in this revision ICR. Thus, CDC
is requesting an increase in the total
annual time burden from six hours in
2018 to 48 hours.
in Children’’ (CDC–RFA–EH18–1806);
and the FY20 ‘‘Childhood Lead
Poisoning Prevention and Surveillance
of Blood Lead Levels in Children’’
(CDC–RFA–EH20–2001). This annual
information collection will be used to
(1) identify common characteristics of
funded childhood lead poisoning
prevention programs, and (2) inform
guidance and resource development in
support of the ultimate program goal,
which is blood lead elimination in
children.
The dissemination of these ALPA
results will ensure that both funded and
non-funded jurisdictions are able to (1)
identify policies and other factors that
support or hinder childhood lead
poisoning prevention efforts; (2)
understand what strategies are being
used by funded public health agencies
to implement childhood lead poisoning
prevention activities; and (3) use this
knowledge to develop and apply similar
strategies to support the national agenda
to eliminate childhood lead poisoning.
This program management
information collection has been revised
in several ways. Due to an increase in
funding and program growth, CDC is
requesting an increase in the number of
respondents from 48 to a maximum of
61 recipients, defined as state and local
governments, or their bona fide agents.
