for Public Comment and
Recommendations

and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
Government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on a proposed information
collection project titled Workplans for
Regional Centers to Enhance Public
Health Preparedness and Response. This
data collection is designed to support
regional centers’ creation of a five-year
workplan which addresses focus areas
that would benefit from use of new or
enhanced evidence-based strategies
(EBSI), existing and needed approaches
to meet regional emergency
preparedness and EBSI needs, proposed
measures to ensure strategies and
interventions are effectively
implemented, and regional
sustainability of evidence-based practice
beyond the five-year workplan.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before July 18, 2023.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2023–
0037 by either of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal:

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
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.

Background and Brief Description
Since 2001, CDC has supported the
development, implementation,
evaluation, translation and
dissemination of research findings,
strategies, and interventions to improve
public health preparedness and
response systems, infrastructures,
processes, and practices. This includes
the long-standing PHEP cooperative
agreement, CDC’s Public Health Crisis
Response Funding, and support for
applied research and evaluation,
metrics, measures, tools, and training
development.
In 2021, with contract support, CDC’s
Office of Applied Research (OAR)
initiated 12 scoping reviews, six
landscape analyses, and one systematic
review to conduct deeper dives into
topics such as trust in public health
preparedness and response, emergency
communications strategies with people
with limited English proficiency, public
health emergency preparedness and
response (PHEPR) practice in rural and
tribal communities, and use of health
equity coordinators in incident
management. The results of these
reviews show great breadth in the
PHEPR field as it relates to knowledge
available to support current practice and
highlights the need to expand
knowledge to address specific gaps.
These needs and gaps may differ across
geographical regions and within those
regions at the state or local level. To
address needs to increase the uptake of
evidence-based interventions, in
December 2022, through Section 2231 of
the Federal appropriations for fiscal
year 2023, CDC was directed to support
not fewer than 10 Centers for PHEPR
that are equally distributed among the
geographical regions of the U.S.
(referred to as the ‘‘network of centers’’.
The goal of this project is to conduct
a needs assessment to enhance the
PHEPR capabilities in the 10 designated
Health and Human Services (HHS)
regions by creating an optimal five-year
workplan to implement evidence-based
strategies or interventions (EBSI) in this
space. The five-year workplan will
address: (1) focus areas that would
benefit from use of new or enhanced
evidence-based strategies or
interventions (EBSI) or interventions,
particularly to increase health equity;
(2) existing and needed approaches as
well as STLT health departments’
capacity and capability to meet regional
emergency preparedness and EBSI
needs; (3) prioritized strategies and
interventions to implement (and
develop, if needed) EBSIs over the next

five years; (4) proposed quantitative
(required) and qualitative (optional)
measures to ensure strategies and
interventions are effectively
implemented; and (5) regional
sustainability of evidence-based practice
beyond the five-year work plan.
Contractors will collect information
from the 10 HHS regional Strategic
Coordinators to develop individualized
workplans for their respective regions to
increase the implementation of EBSIs
for PHEPR activities.
OMB approval is requested for six
months. The total estimated annualized
burden for this information collection is
80 hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
