Assess information collection costs. Proposed Project Drug Overdose Response Investigation (DORI) Data Collections (OMB Control No. 0920–1054, Exp. 03/31/2018)— Revision—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description In 2015, CDC received OMB approval (OMB Control No. 0920–1054) for a new Generic clearance for a three-year period to collect information to respond to urgent requests from state and local health authorities to provide epidemiological information that allows for the selection of interventions to curb local epidemics of drug overdose. CDC seeks OMB approval for a Revision of this generic clearance for a three-year period. Drug Overdose Response Investigation (DORI) are to be conducted in response to urgent requests from state and local health authorities. Of particular interest is response to increasing trends in, or changing characteristics of, overdose from prescription drugs (with a special interest in opioid analgesics such as oxycodone or methadone; benzodiazepines such as alprazolam) and/or illicit drugs (e.g., heroin). CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is frequently called upon to conduct DORIs at the request of state or local health authorities seeking support to respond to urgent public health problems resulting from drug use, misuse, addiction, and overdose. Such requests are typically, but not always, made through the Epi-Aid mechanism. In most investigations, CDC’s epidemiological response entails rapid and flexible collection of data that evolves during the investigation period. A Generic clearance is requested to ensure that timely information is collected during a DORI, which allows NCIPC to maintain critical mission function by working with state and local health authorities to protect the public’s health. During an unanticipated rise in nonfatal or fatal drug overdose where the substances responsible for the health event need to be identified, drivers and risk factors are undetermined, and/or subgroups at risk need to be identified, immediate action by CDC is necessary to minimize or prevent public harm. CDC must have the ability to rapidly deploy data collection tools to understand the scope of the problem and determine appropriate action. Procedures for each investigation, including specific data collection plans, depend on the time and resources available, number of persons involved, and other circumstances unique to the urgent conditions at hand. Data are collected by epidemiologists, psychologists, medical professionals, subject matter experts, and biostatisticians. Data collected during a DORI are used to understand sudden increases in drug use and misuse associated with fatal and nonfatal overdoses, understand the drivers and risk factors associated with those trends, and identify the groups most affected. This allows CDC to effectively advise states on actions that could be taken to control the local epidemic. During a DORI, data are collected once, with the rare need for follow-up. The estimated annual burden hours are 1,500, there are no costs to respondents other than their time.

To support these efforts, we seek approval from the Office of Management and Budget to collect survey information from youth and young adults ages 14–24 and of parents of teens ages 14–18 using an online panel that is based on a probability-based sample of the U.S. population. We propose the following data collection instruments: (1) Parent Survey: We will administer this as a web survey. Information collected through the Parent Survey will be used to report on demographics, the parent-child relationship, parents’ attitudes and beliefs about youth sex education and sexual behaviors, and parental knowledge about youth sexual risk-taking. (2) Youth Survey: We will administer a web survey in two parts to youth ages 14–18. Information collected on Part I of the survey will be used to report on demographics, the parent-child relationship, future aspirations, and attitudes and beliefs about youth sexual behavior. Information collected on Part II of the survey will include knowledge about sexual risk, experience with sex education, and sexual risk behaviors. ADDRESSES: E:\FR\FM\13AUN1.SGM 13AUN1
