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 ‘‘Aerosols from
cyanobacterial blooms: Exposures and
Health Effects in a Highly Exposed
Population’’ 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 October
16, 2023 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC
received one comment related to this
30-day notice.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(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
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570.
Comments and recommendations for the
proposed information collection should
be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/
do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function. Direct written
comments and/or suggestions regarding
the items contained in this notice to the
Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, 725 17th
Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by
fax to (202) 395–5806. Provide written
comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
Aerosols from Cyanobacterial Blooms:
Exposures and Health Effects in a
Highly Exposed Population (OMB
Control No. 0920–1316, Exp. 1/31/
2024)—Extension—National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), requests a three-year Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) clearance for a
renewal of the information collection
request titled Aerosols from
Cyanobacterial Blooms: Exposures and
Health Effects in a Highly Exposed
Population. NCEH is authorized to
conduct research under the Public
Health Service Act, Section 301,
‘‘Research and investigation,’’ (42 U.S.C.
241).
Toxins produced by blooms of algae,
cyanobacteria, and seaweed (herein
called harmful algal blooms or HABS)
are among the most potent natural
chemicals. Exposure to these toxins can
induce a wide variety of reported and
documented effects in people and
animals. Published studies demonstrate
that people and animals are at risk for
health effects from exposure to HABS,
whether through eating contaminated
food, drinking contaminated water, or
inhaling contaminated aerosols.
Although there is substantial published
work describing the public health
impacts from these blooms, unanswered
questions remain, including quantitative
assessments of exposure and
characterization of the clinical
presentations of illnesses associated
with HAB exposures.
HAB events and associated
environmental impacts (e.g., geographic
and temporal extent, composition, toxin
production) are difficult, if not
impossible to predict and track.
Specifically, for the previously
approved project, we were not able to
align the physical occurrence of a
specific type of a HAB of significant
magnitude with government approvals
and resource commitments. Therefore,
we request a three-year Extension of the
original Information Collection Request
(ICR).
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 1,273 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

Proposed Project
National Surveillance of Community
Water Systems and Corresponding
Populations with the Recommended
Fluoridation Level (OMB Control No.
0920–1319, Exp. 2/29/2024)—
Extension—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Community water fluoridation is the
process of adjusting the fluoride
concentration of a community water
system (CWS) to the level beneficial for
prevention of dental caries as
recommended by the US Public Health
Service (PHS). CWS fluoridation is a
major factor contributing to the large
decline in caries in the U.S. in the past
75 years and is recognized as one of 10
great public health achievements of the
twentieth century. Community water
fluoridation reduces dental caries by
25% and is a safe and the most costeffective way to deliver fluoride to
people of all ages, regardless of
education and income level. It is
especially important for populations
with limited access to preventive dental
measures.
CDC is authorized to collect the
information under the Public Health
Service Act. This data collection aligns
with CDC’s strategy to use public health
surveillance to inform programs and
policies to improve the oral health of
the nation by reducing disparities and
expanding access to effective prevention
programs. CDC uses the Water
Fluoridation Reporting System (WFRS)
to collect water fluoridation coverage
and quality throughout the US.
Respondents to the information
collection are state fluoridation
managers or other state government
officials designated by the state dental
director or drinking water administrator.
State participation in the data collection
is voluntary. This data allows CDC and
states to monitor the performance and
efficiency of their water fluoridation
programs, which will improve and
extend program delivery.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 2,783 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate.
