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
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,

Proposed Project
Advancing Violence Epidemiology in
Real-Time (AVERT)—NEW—National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Firearm deaths and injuries are a
serious public health problem in the
United States. In 2021, more than
47,000 people died because of a firearmrelated injury, according to provisional
mortality data from the CDC’s National
Vital Statistics System. Many more
people suffer nonfatal firearm-related
injuries, and some areas and
populations are disproportionately
affected by firearm injuries. In an
analysis of Emergency Department (ED)
visits from 10 U.S. jurisdictions, the
proportion of ED visits for firearm
injuries were higher in communities
that experienced more poverty,
unemployment, lower incomes, and
lower educational attainment. People
hospitalized with nonfatal gunshot
wounds often experience long-term
consequences, including physical
disabilities and chronic mental health
problems from conditions such as posttraumatic-stress disorder. The economic
impact of firearm injury and mortality is
also substantial, costing the U.S. billions
of dollars each year in medical and lost
productivity costs alone, according to
CDC’s Web-based Injury Statistics Query
and Reporting System (WISQARS) Cost
data on ED visits in their jurisdiction
and using these data for the
identification of public health concerns,
including flu, heat-related illness, and
disaster-related health issues. AVERT
will support states to conduct routine
monitoring of these data to identify ED
visits related to firearm injuries
(regardless of intent), other violencerelated injuries, and mental health
conditions, in addition to analyze these
data in a timely manner and share these
data with CDC. The AVERT program
will ensure participating jurisdictions
use their data to track all firearm
injuries, other violence-related injuries,
and mental health conditions by
providing participating jurisdictions
standardized definitions, which can
facilitate rapid identification and
tracking of ED data on violence.
AVERT leverages existing ED data
collection efforts deployed across state
health departments through CDC’s
National ED Syndromic Surveillance
program. The Division of Health
Informatics and Surveillance (DHIS) in
the Center for Surveillance,
Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services
(CSELS) in CDC operates the National
Syndromic Surveillance Program
(NSSP) BioSense Platform (OMB
Control No. 0920–0824) through which
state and local health departments share
preliminary data such as the chief
complaint of the patient seeking care at
the ED.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 30 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time to participate.
of Injury module. An understanding of
the full extent of the problem is crucial
to informing prevention and response
strategies and reducing future incidents.
Timely state- and local-level data on
ED visits for firearm injuries are
currently limited. More context on ED
visits for firearm injuries (regardless of
intent), other violence-related injuries,
and mental health conditions (which
may increase risk for, or be a negative
outcome associated with firearm
injuries and other violence-related
injuries) is also needed. The collection
of near real-time data on ED visits for
these outcomes of interest at the stateand local-level could improve state and
local jurisdictions’ ability to identify,
respond to, and prevent violence. These
data can also be used to identify, track,
and address disparities in ED visits for
firearm injuries, violence-related
injuries, and mental health conditions.
The AVERT data collection integrates,
expands, and enhances previous data
sharing efforts with public health
departments initiated under the Firearm
Injury Surveillance Through Emergency
Rooms (FASTER) program, which
provided funding for 10 jurisdictions to
share firearm injury-related ED visit
data with CDC. The goal of AVERT is to
build on the FASTER program and
provide funding to a minimum of 10
jurisdictions to share timely ED data for
all firearm injuries (regardless of intent),
other violence-related injuries, and
mental health conditions. AVERT is
made possible because the vast majority
of the participating health departments
are already rapidly collecting extensive
