Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled ``Project Firstline Partner Reporting, the 
assessment of performance and progress data on a new infection control 
program for frontline healthcare personnel'' to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously 
published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations'' notice on April 8, 2022, to obtain comments from the 
public and affected agencies. CDC received three comments 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;
    (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. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct 
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in 
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management 
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice 
publication.

Proposed Project

    Project Firstline (PFL) Partner Reporting--New--National Center for 
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The goal of the Project Firstline (PFL) Partner Reporting project 
is to collect performance/progress information from PFL national 
partner organizations to inform development of tailored infection 
prevention and control (IPC) communications and trainings and resources 
designed for frontline healthcare personnel (HCP). PFL is a new program 
and as such, collection of performance/progress data is critical for 
successful program implementation and ongoing improvement. Gathering 
data from PFL partners will provide crucial insights into the diverse 
needs of HCP, gaps in existing CDC training resources, and will help 
CDC understand the reach and impact of the PFL initiative. Having this 
information will allow CDC and partners to monitor progress towards 
desired outcomes while improving PFL outreach and programming based on 
lessons learned. The PFL collaborative network, data-driven training 
and education programs, and targeted messaging through digital 
platforms will help drive behavior change--enhancing the readiness of 
the nation's frontlines to respond to the current COVID-19 pandemic and 
future disease outbreaks.
    To fulfill the data requested by CDC for training activities, 
partner organizations ask training participants to complete 
registration for activities and/or evaluations at the end of trainings, 
and data from these sources are then aggregated and submitted to CDC 
along with descriptive information about the training topic and 
approach. The partner organizations also collect and submit data on 
communications activities occurring through email, social media, 
websites, and podcasts to promote the trainings. The total estimated 
annualized burden is 502 hours.
