Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review, 56620-56621 [2020-20213]

Download as PDF 56620 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 178 / Monday, September 14, 2020 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES seeks information on interest in participating as a future demonstration site to gauge interest in the nationwide implementation of using EHMRs in hospital and EMS settings to supplement current respiratory protection program activities, and to collect additional user input parameters not currently being collected in the current activities. The types of potential participant organizations that will be sought include, but are not limited to, hospital systems, hospitals, hospital intensive care units (ICUs), hospital general wards, hospital emergency departments, outpatient care settings, nursing homes, dental organizations, and first responders, including, but not limited to, EMS, police officers, and firefighters. Please provide responses to one or both of the following: 1. Provide a Statement of Interest (SOI) describing interest in participating in future EHMR demonstration project activities. The SOI should describe the nature of the organization that desires to participate as a demonstration site, including type, geographical location (including rural or urban), size (e.g., hospital beds, healthcare staff), and prior organizational experience with the use of EHMRs. The SOI should also provide reasons for interest in participating as a demonstration site. Prior experience with the use of EHMRs will NOT be required to participate in the EHMR demonstration project activity. The description of an approach that has the potential to be effective for conducting a demonstration project will be required. 2. Provide information that will assist NIOSH in the refinement of the EHMR demonstration projects, including the following: a. Defining the strategic parameters of this EHMR demonstration activity; for example, considerations of fit testing, training, education, filter change-out schedule, cleaning/disinfection, storage considerations, and appropriate clinical care settings for EHMR use; and b. The potential criteria to be used to determine how the EHMR devices should be distributed to the demonstration sites; for example, the technical approach of the use of the EHMRs, and technical qualifications of key staff who would lead the initiative. No SNS Applications Will Be Accepted Through This RFI While the strategy for distribution of the purchased EHMRs is being developed, its details will only be finalized after consideration and analysis of the informational submissions in response to this RFI.

CDC previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations’’ notice on 05/21/2020 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment related to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for public and affected agency comments. CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments that: (a) 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; (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (d) 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 submission of responses; and (e) Assess information collection costs. To request additional information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call (404) 639–7570.

Proposed Project Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant (OMB Control No. 0920– 0106, Exp.08/31/2022)—Revision— Center for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Support (CSTLTS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description CDC’s Center for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Support (CSTLTS) plays a vital role in helping health agencies work to enhance their capacity and improve their performance to strengthen the public health system on all levels. CSTLTS is CDC’s primary connection to health officials and leaders of state, tribal, local, and territorial public health agencies, as well as to other government leaders who work with health departments. CSTLTS administers the Preventive Health and Health Services (PHHS) Block Grant funding for health promotion and disease prevention programs. Sixty-one recipients (50 states, the District of Columbia, two American Indian tribes, five U.S. territories, and three freely associated states) receive block grant funds to address locally defined public health needs in innovative ways. The PHHS Block Grant allows recipients to prioritize the use of funds to fill funding gaps in programs that deal with leading E:\FR\FM\14SEN1.SGM 14SEN1 56621 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 178 / Monday, September 14, 2020 / Notices causes of death and disability, as well as the ability to respond rapidly to emerging health issues, including outbreaks of food-borne infections and water-borne diseases. CSTLTS ensures that the CDC PHHS Block Grant Program Manager and recipients account for funds in accordance with legislative mandates. Each recipient is required to submit a work plan with its selected health outcome objectives, as well as descriptions of the health problems, identified target populations (including portions of those populations disproportionately affected by the health problems), and activities to be addressed in the planned work. CDC will use the Block Grant Information System to collect recipient data, monitor recipients’ progress, identify activities and personnel supported with Block Grant funding, conduct compliance reviews of Block Grant recipients, and promote the use of evidence-based guidelines and interventions. CDC requests OMB approval for revision of this existing information collection request to accommodate the needed updates to the system and templates used to collect the information. As specified in the authorizing legislation, CDC currently collects information from Block Grant recipients to monitor their objectives and activities. Recipients will submit information on the following: • Recipient information: Unique identifying information about each recipient. • Work plan: Information about objectives, activities, and the populations to be addressed each year. • Annual Progress Report: Information about success and progress toward meeting health objectives. Since 2008, CDC has collected this information using a web-based electronic system, the Block Grant Management Information System (BGMIS). Beginning with the FY2021 award, CDC will begin using a new information management system, the Block Grant Information System (BGIS) to collect this information. The new system will essentially collect the same information as the old system, but will offer a variety of updates and improvements. Examples of improvements include updated technological infrastructure, updated Healthy People Objectives (from 2020 to 2030) for recipients to use when planning programs, usability improvements, and redesigned instruments to capture data in more useful formats for both the recipients and reporting purposes. The respondent universe will include PHHS Block Grant Coordinators(n=61). All modules will be accessed electronically through the BGIS system.

Background and Brief Description

    CDC's Center for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Support
