patients, and VTE prophylaxis
monitoring and support will be used to
assess the extent to which hospitals
apply these components of the
framework for HA–VTE prevention. The
responses to specific VTE prevention
practices can be used to assess VTE
prevention practices by hospital
characteristics (e.g., bed size, urban vs.
rural location, teaching vs. non-teaching
status) to better target efforts or
interventions to improve HA–VTE
prevention. Information collected on the
barriers to establishing a hospital-wide
VTE prevention policy will be helpful
in addressing these challenges.
Information will be collected on both
adult general medical and surgical units
since VTE prevention practices differ by
specialty. Information on VTE risk
assessment (e.g., who conducts the
assessment, when is it performed,
mandatory or optional, format, type of
RAM) will improve understanding of
real-world hospital VTE risk assessment
practices. Information on the capacity of
hospitals to collect data on VTE risk
assessment will be helpful in
determining the feasibility of VTE risk
assessment as a VTE prevention
performance measure. The data
collected can also serve as a baseline for
evaluation of future HA–VTE
prevention initiatives.

Background and Brief Description
The mission of the Department of
Health and Human Services is to
enhance the health and well-being of all
Americans. As part of HHS, CDC
conducts critical science and provides
health information to people and
communities to save lives and protect
people from health threats. To this end,
CDC and HHS seek to accomplish their
mission by collaborating with partners
throughout the nation and the world to
E:\FR\FM\19NON1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 224 / Thursday, November 19, 2020 / Notices
monitor health, detect and investigate
health problems, conduct research to
enhance prevention, develop and
advocate sound public health policies,
implement prevention strategies,
promote healthy behaviors, foster safe
and healthful environments, and
provide leadership and training.
CDC is requesting a three-year
approval to extend a generic clearance
to collect information related to
domestic public health issues and
services that affect and/or involve state,
tribal, local and territorial (STLT)
government entities.
The respondent universe is comprised
of STLT governmental staff or delegates
acting on behalf of a STLT agency
involved in the provision of essential
public health services in the United
States. Delegate is defined as a
governmental or non-governmental
agent (agency, function, office or
individual) acting for a principal or
submitted by another to represent or act
on their behalf. The STLT agency is
represented by a STLT entity or delegate
with a task to protect and/or improve
the public’s health.
Information will be used to assess
situational awareness of current public
health emergencies; make decisions that
affect planning, response and recovery
activities of subsequent emergencies; fill
CDC and HHS gaps in knowledge of
programs and/or STLT governments that
will strengthen surveillance,
epidemiology, and laboratory science;
improve CDC’s support and technical
assistance to jurisdictions. CDC and
HHS will conduct brief data collections,
across a range of public health topics
related to essential public health
services.
CDC estimates up to 30 data
collections with State, territorial, or
tribal governmental staff or delegates,
and 10 data collections with local/
county/city governmental staff or
delegates will be conducted on an
annual basis. Ninety-five percent of
these data collections will be web-based
and five percent telephone, in-person,
and focus groups. The total annualized
burden of 54,000 hours is based on the
following estimates.

The
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5
U.S.C. 552a) provides certain
protections for individuals applying for
and receiving federal benefits. The law
governs the use of computer matching
by federal agencies when records in a
system of records (meaning, federal
agency records about individuals
retrieved by name or other personal
identifier) are matched with records of
other federal or non-federal agencies.
The Privacy Act requires agencies
involved in a matching program to:
1. Enter into a written agreement,
which must be prepared in accordance
with the Privacy Act, approved by the
Data Integrity Board of each source and
recipient federal agency, provided to
Congress and the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB), and made available
to the public, as required by 5 U.S.C.
552a(o), (u)(3)(A), and (u)(4).
2. Notify the individuals whose
information will be used in the
matching program that the information
they provide is subject to verification
through matching, as required by 5
U.S.C. 552a(o)(1)(D).
3. Verify match findings before
suspending, terminating, reducing, or
making a final denial of an individual’s
benefits or payments or taking other
adverse action against the individual, as
required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(p).
4. Report the matching program to
Congress and the OMB, in advance and
