Proposed Project
Characteristics of Cases of Priority
Fungal Diseases (OMB Control No.
0920–1385, Exp. 3/31/2026)—
Revision—National Center for Emerging
and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Fungal diseases cause substantial
illness, ranging from mild infection to
severe or life-threatening invasive
disease. They also constitute a
considerable financial burden on
patients and healthcare systems.
Awareness of fungal diseases is low,
and data collection has historically been
limited in size, scope, and coordination,
which has hindered our understanding
of these diseases. Detailed
epidemiologic and clinical data are
critical to inform appropriate public
health responses.
We plan to enhance surveillance of
high priority fungal diseases across the
United States to better characterize
factors such as disease burden,
geographic scope, patient risk factors,
health disparities, healthcare utilization,
outcomes, and emerging trends. This
project will serve as a Revision of the
information collections project:
Triazole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus
Case Report Form (CRF). The Revision
will expand the number of fungal
diseases for which data may be
collected. In addition to triazoleresistant A. fumigatus infections, CRFs
have also been developed for
coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis,
blastomycosis, C. auris, and antifungalresistant dermatophytosis. CDC is also
changing the name of this information
collections project from Triazoleresistant Aspergillus fumigatus Case
Report Form to Characteristics of Cases
of Priority Fungal Diseases.
We plan to use standardized CRFs to
collect public health surveillance data
for cases of these diseases regarding
demographics (e.g., age, sex, race/
ethnicity, location of residence),
underlying medical conditions,
diagnosis (e.g., clinical presentation,
laboratory testing), treatments, and
outcomes (e.g., hospitalization, vital
status). The corresponding CRF would
be filled out voluntarily by State and
local health departments and contains a
section for medical chart review and an
optional supplemental interview
(including data on potential
occupational or environmental
exposures) of the patient or their
representative. Findings can help
identify populations at higher risk of
these diseases, detect emerging
epidemiologic trends, and guide
prevention and response efforts. They
can also help better focus public and
healthcare provider outreach, inform
efforts to contain or mitigate spread, and
influence health policy and research on
prevention and treatment.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 1,138 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate.

Proposed Project
CDC–RFA–DP–23–0002 Healthy
Schools Program Evaluation—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC awarded funds through
cooperative agreement DP23–0002 (2302
Program) to 20 funding recipients
(States, universities, and a Tribal nation)
to improve health, academic
achievement, and well-being of students
in K–12 schools. A portion of the
funding within each State is allocated to
one priority local education agency
(LEA) and its corresponding schools to
support the implementation of policies,
practices, and programs to increase
physical activity, healthy dietary
behaviors, and management of chronic
health conditions among students. CDC
is conducting a mixed-methods multilevel evaluation of the 2302 Program
and associated outcomes. Evaluation
findings will allow CDC to help
recipients improve their programs as
they progress over the five-year funding
period. A CDC evaluation contractor
will collect information from relevant
funded recipients, priority LEAs,
schools, and students. Program
monitoring information will be
collected from recipients via a monthly
reporting tool. Descriptions of the
implementation of the program’s two
strategies and nine activities will be
collected in years two and four via semistructured, virtual key informant
interviews with program leaders among
funded recipients and their priority LEA
colleagues to understand successes,
barriers, and lessons learned.
Additionally, two annual questionnaires
will be distributed either digitally (webbased) and/or on paper. One of the
questionnaires is for school-level
leaders in participating schools in the
20 priority LEAs focusing on
implementation of healthy school
policies, practices, and programs. The
other questionnaire is for students in
elementary, middle, and high schools
(grades 4–12) in the priority LEAs’
schools focusing on physical activity,
dietary behaviors, management of
chronic health conditions, and wellbeing and academic attainment. The
evaluation results will help recipients
improve their programs and aid CDC in
understanding and communicating the
impact of its funding. We
CDC requests approval for the period
of three years, with an anticipated
request for an extension after that to
cover the full five years of the program.
The annual estimated total time burden
to participants is 810 hours. There are
no anticipated financial costs to
participants other than their time to
participate.

ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) at the
United States Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) intends to
request approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
establish a new umbrella generic
clearance to request information while
engaging individuals and groups who
could provide valuable information to
inform ACF programs and work,
including but not limited to those who
are served or have been served by ACF,
those with expertise in ACF program
areas, and individuals invested in the
outcomes of ACF research and
evaluation. These engagement activities
often need to be conducted quickly, to
allow for sufficient time to inform
project direction and decision-making.
Additionally, planning for engagement
activities is most often on a quick
timeline and the standard timeline to
comply with a full request under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) often
inhibits the ability to collect
information to inform these activities.
Therefore, an umbrella generic is
necessary to allow for quick turnaround
requests for similar information
collections related to these activities.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Executive Order
(E.O.), Advancing Racial Equity and
Support for Underserved Communities
Through the Federal Government (E.O.
13985) 1 emphasizes consulting with
communities that have been historically
underserved by Federal policies and
programs and those with lived
experience 2 in ACF programs. The E.O.
on Further Advancing Racial Equity and
Support for Underserved Communities
Through the Federal Government 3
followed in 2023 and built on E.O.
13985, calling upon agencies to increase
engagement with underserved
communities and to ‘‘collaborate with
OMB, as appropriate, to identify and
develop tools and methods’’ to meet this
goal. This generic mechanism is a tool
that could directly address these EOs.
Particularly many requirements
outlined in Sec 3 and Sec 5 of the 2023
E.O.
Additionally, the Presidential
Memorandum on Restoring Trust in
Government through Scientific Integrity
and Evidence-Based Policy Making,4 the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) Strategic Plan FY 2022–
2026,5 ACF’s Strategic Plan,6 and the
ACF Evaluation Policy 7 discuss
community engagement and inclusion
in research. Consistent with these
guidance documents, and to ensure
meaningful involvement with a variety
of individuals with diverse experiences
and perspectives, ACF often conducts
active engagement activities to inform
various efforts, including research and
evaluation.
