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 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: BILLING CODE 6820–WY–P Jkt 262001 PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 25875 5. Assess information collection costs. Proposed Project B. multivorans Ice Machine Multistate Investigation—New—National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description CDC has been assisting state and local jurisdictions investigate clusters of Burkholderia multivorans infections among patients admitted across four hospitals in two non-contiguous states. The outbreak strain of the bacteria has been identified in environmental samples from ice machines. Molecular analysis has shown that the bacterial strain identified in ice machines is genetically highly similar to the patient isolates. Further investigation revealed that the same brand of ice machine and the same filters, descaling/cleaning, and sanitizing products were used by the four hospitals. Epidemiologic and laboratory evidence suggest the possibility of contaminated nonsterile ice and water from the same brand of ice machines as a common source of exposure. Further investigation is needed to identify the scope of the outbreak and the source of the ice machine contamination. CDC has deemed it necessary to conduct a national call for cases requesting that public health authorities report cases and clusters of B. multivorans. A case report form (CRF) was developed by CDC to assist jurisdictions in this effort. Jurisdictions will gather information using this case report form to assist in determining epidemiologic characteristics and risk factors of patients with B. multivorans as well as potential source(s) of B. multivorans, including ice machines and ice machine-related products (e.g., cleaning solutions). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will share findings and recommendations with public health and healthcare partners to prevent further spread of B. multivorans infections; findings may also be shared with other relevant stakeholders and/or published in scientific journals to disseminate investigation outcomes. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 120 annual burden hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. E:\FR\FM\12APN1.SGM 12APN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    This information collection requirement, OMB Control No. 3090-0293, 
currently titled ``Reporting and Use of Information Concerning 
Integrity and Performance of Recipients of Grants and Cooperative 
Agreements'' is necessary in order to comply with section 872 of the 
Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act of 2009, Public Law 
110-417, as amended by Public Law 111-212, hereafter referred to as 
``the Act.'' The Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act of 
2009 (Pub. L. 110-417) was enacted on October 14, 2008. Section 872 of 
this Act required the development and maintenance of an information 
system that contains specific information on the integrity and 
performance of covered Federal agency contractors and grantees.
    The Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System 
(FAPIIS) was developed to address these requirements and has been 
superseded by the System for Award Management (SAM) at SAM.gov. SAM 
provides users access to integrity information from the FAPIIS 
reporting module in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting 
System (CPARS), proceedings information from the Entity Management 
section of the SAM database, and suspension/debarment information from 
the Exclusions section of SAM.
    As required by 2 CFR part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, 
Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, effective 
January 1, 2016, Federal agencies are required to review and consider 
any information about the applicant that is in SAM before making any 
award in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold, defined in 41 
U.S.C. 134, over the period of performance.
    Non-Federal entities (NFEs) are required to disclose any 
information about criminal, civil, and administrative proceedings, and/
or affirm that there is no new information to provide. This applies to 
NFEs that receive Federal awards (currently active grants, cooperative 
agreements, and procurement contracts), as required by 45 CFR part 75, 
Appendix XII, of the Uniform Guidance, for any period of time during 
the period of performance of an award/project.
