SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
The Advisory Committee on Heritable
Disorders in Newborns and Children’s
Public Health System Assessment
Surveys. OMB No. 0906–0014—
Revision.
Abstract: The purpose of the Public
Health System Assessment Surveys is to
inform the Advisory Committee on
Heritable Disorders in Newborns and
Children (Committee) on states’ ability
to add newborn screening for particular
conditions, including the feasibility,
readiness and overall capacity to screen
for a new condition.
The Committee was established under
the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C.
217a: Advisory councils or committees
(PDF—215 KB), and Title XI § 1111 (42
U.S.C. 300b–10). The purpose of the
Committee is to provide the Secretary
with recommendations, advice, and
technical information regarding the
most appropriate application of
technologies, policies, guidelines, and
standards for: (a) Effectively reducing
morbidity and mortality in newborns
and children having, or at risk for,
heritable disorders; and (b) enhancing
the ability of state and local health
agencies to provide for newborn and
child screening, counseling, and health
care services for newborns and children
having, or at risk for, heritable
disorders. Specifically, the Committee
makes systematic evidence-based
recommendations on newborn screening
for conditions that have the potential to
change the health outcomes for
newborns.
The Committee tasks an external
workgroup to conduct systematic
evidence-based reviews for conditions
being considered for addition to the
Recommended Uniform Screening
Panel, and their corresponding newborn
screening test(s), confirmatory test(s),
and treatment(s). Reviews also include
an analysis of the benefits and harms of
newborn screening for a selected

condition at a population level and an
assessment of state public health
newborn screening programs’ ability to
implement the screening of a new
condition.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register, 86 FR 38726 (July 22,
2021).
There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The surveys are
administered by the Committee’s
Evidence Review Group to collect data
from state newborn screening programs
in the United States. The surveys have
been developed to capture the
following: (1) Readiness of state public
health newborn screening programs to
expand newborn screening to include
the target condition, (2) specific
requirements of screening for a
condition that could hinder or facilitate
implementation in each state, and (3)
estimated timeframes needed for each
state to complete major milestones
toward full implementation of newborn
screening for the condition.
The following is a summary of
proposed changes to the Committee’s
Public Health System
Assessment Surveys
Proposed changes to the ‘‘INITIAL
Survey of the Secretary’s Advisory
Committee on Heritable Disorders in
Newborns and Children’s Public Health
System Assessment’’:
• Survey title:
Æ Current title: ‘‘INITIAL Survey of
the Secretary’s Advisory Committee on
Heritable Disorders in Newborns and
Children’s Public Health System
Assessment’’.

• Introductory paragraph:
Æ Current introductory paragraph:
‘‘The purpose of this survey is to inform
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services Advisory Committee on
Heritable Disorders in Newborns and
Children (Committee) about states’
ability to add newborn screening (NBS)
for [condition x] using information
gathered from most of the state and
territorial NBS programs in the
U.S. . . .’’
Æ Proposed change: (strike ‘‘Secretary
of Health and Human Services’’) ‘‘The
purpose of this survey is to inform the
Advisory Committee on Heritable
Disorders in Newborns and Children
(Committee) about states’ ability to add
newborn screening (NBS) for [condition
x] using information gathered from most
of the state and territorial NBS programs
in the U.S. . . .’’
Rationale: Per the charter signed
November 10, 2020, the ACHDNC is the
correct name of the Committee.
• Instructions for question 3
(grammatical edit):
Æ Current instructions: ‘‘. . . The
following question asks you to consider,
in general, how much the following
factors would be an issue in considering
adding [condition x] to your NBS
panel.’’
Æ Proposed change: (strike ‘‘in’’,
replace with ‘‘when’’), ‘‘. . . The
following question asks you to consider,
in general, how much the following
factors would be an issue when
considering adding [condition x] to your

Æ Rationale: Correction of
grammatical error.
Proposed changes to the ‘‘FOLLOWUP Survey of the Secretary’s Advisory
Committee on Heritable Disorders in

Æ Current question: ‘‘Have you
developed a follow up protocol and/or
educational materials for [condition x]?
If so please describe the steps for shortterm follow and how the plan was
developed.’’
Æ Proposed change: (insert hyphen in
‘‘follow-up’’, insert ‘‘-up’’ in the phrase
‘‘short-term follow’’) ‘‘Have you
developed a follow-up protocol and/or
educational materials for [condition x]?
If so, please describe the steps for shortterm follow-up and how the plan was
developed.
Æ Rationale: Correction of
grammatical errors.
The data gathered informs the
Committee on the following: (1)
Feasibility of implementing populationbased screening for the target condition,
(2) readiness of state newborn screening
programs to adopt screening for the
condition, (3) gaps or limitations related
to the feasibility or readiness of states to
screen for a condition, and (4) areas of
technical assistance and resources
needed to facilitate screening for
conditions with low feasibility or
readiness.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
to the survey will be state and territorial
newborn screening programs.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
