Legal and Compliance Risk.
Management should consider how

(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

Proposed Project
National Wastewater Surveillance
System for SARS–CoV–2 and Other
Infectious Disease Targets of Public
Health Concern—New—National Center
for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) seeks to continue and
expand existing information collection
by the National Wastewater
Surveillance System for COVID–19
currently approved under the COVID–
19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) PRA
waiver. This information collection
request is for three years.
The COVID–19 pandemic
demonstrated the need for timely,
actionable surveillance data to inform
disease prevention and control
activities. The genetic material of
SARS–CoV–2, the virus that causes
COVID–19, is detectable in the feces of
infected individuals, regardless of their
symptom status. Therefore, sampling
and testing wastewater provides a
means to assess SARS–CoV–2 infection
trends in the community independent of
clinical testing or other healthcare
indicators. This public health
surveillance approach can be used for
other infectious diseases or targets of
public health concern, such as mpox,
influenza, and antimicrobial resistance.
The National Wastewater Surveillance
System (NWSS) was originally
established to support the CDC COVID–
19 response, and now, NWSS serves as
a public health tool to provide
community-level disease trends. NWSS
was designed to permit the addition or
exchange of targets for wastewater
infectious disease testing. This built-in
flexibility will allow jurisdictions to
adapt wastewater testing to changing
public health needs, enable rapid
responses to outbreaks or emergencies,
and support broad capacity to detect
future, emerging disease threats.
Wastewater data have provided
impactful information to local public
health authorities to confirm trends
observed in testing or hospitalization
rates, and to assert the need for
increased testing or healthcare
resources. NWSS has supported
jurisdictions throughout the United
States to implement wastewater
surveillance, and will continue to
support state, tribal, local, and territorial
(STLT) partners to collect wastewater
data. Together with CDC-funded
national-level wastewater testing by
commercial partners, jurisdictions
across the US have submitted data to
E:\FR\FM\30OCN1.SGM
30OCN1
74190
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 208 / Monday, October 30, 2023 / Notices
NWSS that represents an estimated 141
million individuals, or 41% of the US
population. Wastewater data collection
will be coordinated by STLT health
departments through close collaboration
with wastewater utilities. CDC will
coordinate national-level testing
contracts that cover up to 500
wastewater testing sites. Once collected,
wastewater data will be submitted to the
Data Collation and Integration for Public
Health Event Response (DCIPHER)
platform for participants to view and
analyze in near real-time.
There are three data components
comprising this collection request. For
data collection Component 1,
wastewater utilities or partners will
collect metadata and samples from
wastewater influent lines or at other
points in the collection stream at regular
intervals twice a week, or at irregular
intervals as needed. The wastewater
samples will be shipped, along with
their associated sampling metadata, to
STLT health departments where
pathogen- or target-specific RNA or
DNA will be quantified for up to 40
targets (e.g., SARS–CoV–2, mpox,
influenza, antibiotic resistance, etc.).
Data collection for specific infectious
diseases or targets will be based on
public health need and input from the
NWSS Advisory Council comprised of
subject matter experts from across CDC.
For some wastewater samples, target
sequencing will be conducted to help
public health officials monitor
infectious disease variant trends (e.g.,
SARS–CoV–2). STLT health
departments will compile, review, and
submit testing data to CDC through the
NWSS DCIPHER platform, or national
contract laboratories will submit data
directly to the CDC. Four forms are to
be submitted for this data component,
with four documents used as reference.
For data collection Component 2,
STLT health departments will work
with participating utilities to obtain
geographic boundary data of the
wastewater utility service areas, also
called a sewershed. These sewershed
boundary data files (also referred to as
spatial files) will be uploaded by
jurisdiction health departments into the
NWSS DCIPHER platform. No forms are
to be submitted for this data component,
only spatial files, with one document
used as reference.
For data collection Component 3,
STLT health departments may choose to
develop a line list of reported cases of
specific infections (e.g., COVID–19,
mpox, influenza, antibiotic resistant
infections, etc.) associated with the
participating wastewater utility service
areas, for which wastewater testing data
is also being collected. The STLT health
department will submit to CDC the line
list of deidentified cases into the NWSS
DCIPHER platform. Two forms are to be
submitted for this data component, with
two documents used as reference.
Based on previous pilot data
collection and additional estimates from
2022–2023 US case numbers in the CDC
National Notifiable Disease Surveillance
System, we estimate that 166,400
wastewater samples and 3,664,607
sewershed-level case data file identifiers
will be collected and reported to NWSS
each year, while 1,100 sewershed
spatial files will only need to be
submitted once during the three-year
period. In total, the estimated annual
burden for all data collection
components for this request is 695,941
hours.
