Proposed Project Performance Progress and Monitoring Report (PPMR) (OMB Control No. 0920– 1132, Exp. 10/31/2022)—Extension— Office of Scientific Integrity (OSI), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Each year, approximately 80% of the CDC’s budget is distributed via contracts, grants and cooperative agreements, from the Office of Financial Resources (OFR) to partners (Awardees) throughout the world in an effort to promote health, prevent disease, injury and disability and prepare for new health threats. OFR is responsible for the stewardship of these funds while providing excellent, professional services to our partners and stakeholders. Currently, CDC uses the Performance Progress and Monitoring Report (PPMR, PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 OMB Control No. 0920–1132), a set of progress reporting forms for NonResearch awards to collect information semi-annually from Awardees regarding the progress made over specified time periods on CDC funded projects. The PPMR was originally modified from SF– PPR (OMB Control No. 0970–0406), a similar progress report that was owned by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The PPMR was created by CDC to provide an agency-wide collection tool that would be able to obtain data on the progress of CDC Awardees for the purposes of evaluation, and to bring the Awardee reporting procedure into compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The information collected enables the accurate, reliable, uniform, and timely submission to CDC of each Awardee’s work plans and progress reports, including strategies, activities and performance measures. The information collected by the PPMR is designed to align with, and support the goals outlined for each of the CDC Awardees. Collection and reporting of the information will occur in an efficient, standardized, and user-friendly manner that will generate a variety of routine and customizable reports. The PPMR will allow each Awardee to summarize activities and progress towards meeting performance measures and goals over a specified time period specific to each award. CDC will also have the capacity to generate reports that describe activities across multiple Awardees. In addition, CDC will use the information collection to respond to inquiries from HHS, Congress and other stakeholder inquiries about program activities and their impact. The current submission process allows Awardees to submit a completed PDF version of the PPMR by uploading it to www.grants.gov, or directly to the programs at CDC that will be performing the evaluation. This Extension request is being submitted to allow CDC to continue collection of this valuable information from Awardees for an additional three years. There are no anticipated changes to the information collection instruments or associated burden at this time. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 12,936 annual burden hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project Assessment for the Be Antibiotics Aware (BAA) Consumer and Healthcare Professional Campaign—New—National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Antibiotic resistance (AR) is one of the most urgent threats to public health in the United States. Antibiotic resistant bacteria have grown more virulent, prevalent, and diverse and can spread between human and animals. Each year there are more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections in the United States and 35,000 individuals PO 00000 Frm 00076 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Number of responses per respondent Average burden per response (in hours) 5,200 1 2 1,632 1 5/60 60 1 40 die as a result. At least 30% of antibiotics prescribed to outpatients and emergency departments are unnecessary which amounts to 47 million excess prescriptions per year. One of the main side effects of taking antibiotics is alteration of the microbiome which could lead to infections such as C. difficile, the inability to treat infections, prolonged illness, or even death. Risk factors for AR include lack of knowledge, sub-therapeutic doses, excessive use, antibiotic residues, and incorrect storage. In addition, there can be impacts on productivity, healthcare costs, and it can serve as a drain on the economy. The National Action Plan calls for federal agencies to accelerate their response to AR. The 2020–2025 National Action Plan calls for CDC to decrease healthcare-associated AR infections by 20% by 2025 and community-acquired AR infections by 10% by 2025. One way to decrease the use of unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions is through antibiotic stewardship. The goals of the Be Antibiotics Aware campaign are to seek optimization of antibiotic prescribing and use in order to improve patient safety and healthcare quality, and to combat AR by raising knowledge and awareness, and motivating behavior change among consumer and healthcare professional (HCP) audiences. Online panel surveys will be utilized to recruit participants. Surveys will be distributed to consumer and HCP audiences both pre- and post-campaign. Consumer audiences include: (1) Healthy adults who visit urgent care, ages 18–64, (2) Community dwelling older adults, ages 65+, and (3) Family caregivers of nursing home (long-term care) residents. HCP audiences include: (1) Hospitalists, (2) Dentists, (3) Community pharmacists, (4) Physicians and advanced practice providers in nursing homes, and (5) Nurses in nursing homes.
