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 ‘‘Environmental
Public Health Tracking Network
(Tracking Network)’’ 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 December
20, 2022 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC
received one comment 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:

Proposed Project
Environmental Public Health
Tracking Network (Tracking Network)
(OMB Control No. 0920–1175, Exp. 7/
31/2023)—Revision—National Center
for Environmental Health (NCEH),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC is submitting a three-year
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
Revision Information Collection Request
(ICR) for ‘‘Environmental Public Health
Tracking Network (Tracking Network)’’
(OMB Control No. 0920–1175,
Expiration Date 7/31/2023). This ICR is
sponsored by the Environmental Public
Health Tracking Section (Tracking
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Section), Division of Environmental
Health Science and Practice (DEHSP),
National Center for Environmental
Health (NCEH) at CDC.
In September 2000, the Pew
Environmental Health Commission
issued a report entitled America’s
Environmental Health Gap: Why the
Country Needs a Nationwide Health
Tracking Network. The Commission
documented a critical gap in
‘‘knowledge that hinders our national
efforts to reduce or eliminate diseases
that might be prevented by better
managing environmental factors’’ due
largely to the fact that existing
environmental health systems were
inadequate and fragmented. They
described a lack of data for the leading
causes of mortality and morbidity, a
lack of data on exposure to hazards, a
lack of environmental data with
applicability to public health, and
barriers to integrating and linking
existing data. To address this critical
gap, the Commission recommended a
‘‘Nationwide Health Tracking Network’’
for disease and exposures. In response
to the report and this critical gap,
Congress appropriated funds in the
fiscal year 2002 budget for the CDC to
establish the National Environmental
Public Health Tracking Program
(Tracking Program) and Network and
has appropriated funds each year
thereafter to continue this effort.
The Tracking Program includes State
and Local Health Departments (SLHD)
which collaborate to: (1) build and
maintain the Tracking Network; (2)
advance the practice and science of
environmental public health tracking;
(3) communicate information to guide
environmental health policies and
actions; (4) enhance tracking workforce
and infrastructure; and (5) foster
collaborations between health and
environmental programs.
In spring of 2022, under Notice of
Funding Opportunity CDC–RFA–EH22–
2202, the CDC’s Tracking Program
E:\FR\FM\27JNN1.SGM
27JNN1
41631
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 122 / Tuesday, June 27, 2023 / Notices
funded 33 state and local public health
programs (funded SLHD). These
recipients were selected through a
competitive objective review process
and are managed as CDC cooperative
agreements. Awards are for five years
and are renewed through an Annual
Performance Report (APR)/Continuation
Application. The Tracking Program
collects data from recipients about their
activities and progress for the purposes
of program evaluation and monitoring
(hereafter referenced as program data).
Environmental public health tracking
is the ongoing collection, integration,
analysis, and dissemination of health,
exposure, and hazard data (hereinafter
referenced as Tracking Network data) to
inform public health actions that protect
the population from harm resulting from
exposure to environmental
contaminants. The Tracking Network
provides data from existing health,
exposure, and hazard surveillance
systems and supports ongoing efforts
within the public health and
environmental sectors to improve data
collection, accessibility, and
dissemination as well as analytic and
response capacity. Data that were
previously collected for different
purposes and stored in separate state
and local systems are now available in
a nationally standardized format
allowing programs to begin bridging the
gap between health and the
environment.
CDC is requesting approval for an
increase of seven additional annual
respondents from the 30 approved
under the previous ICR and five-year
NOFO (No. CDC–RFA–EH17–1702). In
spring of 2022, under the new five-year
NOFO (No. CDC–RFA–EH22–2202), the
CDC’s Tracking Program funded 33 state
and local public health programs
(funded SLHD). CDC is now requesting
approval for up to 37 annual
respondents. This number reflects the
current 33 SLHD respondents plus four
to allow for future funding of new SLHD
or to collect voluntary responses from
unfunded SLHD.
Data from recipients or other SLHD
are submitted annually following
standardized procedures. Tracking
network data submitted annually by
recipients and other SLHD to the
Tracking Program include seven
datasets and the metadata form,
specifically (1) birth defects prevalence,
(2) childhood blood lead levels, (3)
drinking water monitoring, (4)
emergency department visits, (5)
hospitalizations, (6) radon testing, (7)
biomonitoring, and (8) metadata. The
Tracking Program will begin using
Research Electronic Data Capture
(REDCap) for its Electronic Data Capture
System (EDCS) needs, which is an easyto-use, free software tool that is useful
for programmatic deliverable
management and data capture. Using an
EDCS significantly reduces the burden
by optimizing the data capture method
to eliminate the need for personnel to
complete manual data cleaning and
organization before using data for
analysis and evaluation upon
submission.
Based on the above changes, CDC
requests OMB approval for an estimated
14,384 annualized burden hours. There
is no cost to respondents other than
their time to participate.
