SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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
PO 00000
Average
burden per

(in hr)
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;
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Building Resilience Against Climate
Effects (BRACE) Performance
Measures—New—National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this information
collection request (ICR) is to continue
the Climate and Health Program (CHP)
monitoring of recipient programs’
planning and delivery of public health
activities and adaptation strategies
under a new cooperative agreement
Building Resilience Against Climate
Effects: Implementing and Evaluating
Adaptation Strategies that Protect and
Promote Human Health (CDC–RFA–
EH21–2101). CDC collects information
related to each recipient’s strategies and
activities through performance measures
(PMs) outlined by the cooperative
agreement. A new PM electronic
reporting tool has been developed,
which will allow recipients to report
PM information in a streamlined way
that will also enhance CHP’s ability to
analyze and use the information quickly
to help support the program. Since its
inception, the National Center for
Environmental Health’s (NCEH) CHP
has funded state and local health
departments or their agents as they
prepare for and respond to the health
effects that a changing climate will bring
to the communities they serve. The

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 231 / Monday, December 6, 2021 / Notices
primary funding mechanism for
building climate resilience has been the
Climate Ready States and Cities
Initiative. The most recent notice of
funding opportunity for the initiative is
titled ‘‘Building Resilience Against
Climate Effects: Implementing and
Evaluation Adaptation Strategies that
protect and Promote Human Health’’
(NOFO No. CDC RFA–EH21–2101).
We propose to collect PM data from
up to 38 cooperative agreement
recipients (state, local, and territorial
health departments, or programs). The
information will be used for multiple
purposes: (1) To demonstrate program
achievements, including positive effects
in community or population health; (2)
to build stronger evidence base for
adaptations to climate change; (3) to
demonstrate adaptation applicability
and effectiveness across different
populations, settings, and contexts; and
(4) to support continuous improvement
of the funded adaptation actions and
their implementation. Recipients will
submit standardized PM data on an
annual basis via a newly developed
electronic reporting tool, through a
CDC-supported secure data collection
and management system called REDCap.
CDC/NCEH requests OMB approval
for and estimated 198 total annual
burden hours. There are no costs to the
respondents other than their time.
