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 5. Assess information collection costs. Proposed Project Evaluation of the Division of Overdose Prevention Technical Assistance Center (OMB Control No., 0920–1355, Exp. 11/30/202)— Revision—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is submitting a Revision request for the currently PO 00000 Frm 00133 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 approved Evaluating the Overdose Data to Action TA Hub (OMB Control No. 0920–1355, Exp. Date 11/30/2024) for three years. CDC requests a three-year OMB approval to support the evaluation of technical assistance (TA) provided for the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) in States (S) and OD2A: Limiting Overdose through Collaborative Actions in Localities (LOCAL) programs. OD2A–S and OD2A: LOCAL are cooperative agreements funded in 2023 to focus on comprehensive and interdisciplinary opioid overdose prevention efforts in 49 state health departments, 39 localities, Puerto Rico, and Washington, DC. Each program consists of two required components—a surveillance component and a prevention component. OD2A recipients implement a combination of activities across nine state strategies and eight local strategies within these components in order to gain access to high quality, complete, and timelier data on opioid prescribing and overdoses and to use those data to inform prevention and response efforts in their jurisdictions. In the previously approved iteration of this data collection, the information collected surrounding OD2A (version 1.0) recipient feedback on their experiences receiving TA proved invaluable in the process of improving TA delivery and overall providing more useful TA. The feedback provided in the original data collection instruments was also used to improve the TA Strategy of the updated iterations of OD2A (including OD2A–S and OD2A: LOCAL) and their recipients. With the information that was collected in the previously approved ICR, CDC can more effectively deliver TA to an almostdoubled recipient group across two programs instead of one and ensure that continuous improvement in TA is occurring. Further information gathering through the two new instruments proposed in this ICR (the Implementation Feedback Form and the Focus Group script), will even more acutely enhance TA perspectives and needs to effectively and responsibly utilize the DOP TA Center resource. Training and technical assistance (TA) is essential to building knowledge and strengthening the capacity of recipients to implement and evaluate OD2A program strategies. CDC will develop and deploy a TA hub (hereafter referred to as the DOP TA Center) to deliver comprehensive technical assistance and training to support the successful implementation and evaluation of surveillance and prevention activities. The DOP TA Center is designed to enhance the efficiency, coordination, and E:\FR\FM\07MYN1.SGM 07MYN1 38151 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 89 / Tuesday, May 7, 2024 / Notices effectiveness of TA efforts by streamlining and centralizing the provision of overdose surveillance and prevention TA. TA to OD2A recipients is divided into four different levels with multiple modes of TA delivery and involves a wide range of TA providers appropriate resources to support their needs.

Assistance Center (OMB Control No., 0920-1355, Exp. 11/30/202)--
Revision--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is submitting 
a Revision request for the currently approved Evaluating the Overdose 
Data to Action TA Hub (OMB Control No. 0920-1355, Exp. Date 11/30/2024) 
for three years. CDC requests a three-year OMB approval to support the 
evaluation of technical assistance (TA) provided for the Overdose Data 
to Action (OD2A) in States (S) and OD2A: Limiting Overdose through 
Collaborative Actions in Localities (LOCAL) programs. OD2A-S and OD2A: 
LOCAL are cooperative agreements funded in 2023 to focus on 
comprehensive and interdisciplinary opioid overdose prevention efforts 
in 49 state health departments, 39 localities, Puerto Rico, and 
Washington, DC. Each program consists of two required components--a 
surveillance component and a prevention component. OD2A recipients 
implement a combination of activities across nine state strategies and 
eight local strategies within these components in order to gain access 
to high quality, complete, and timelier data on opioid prescribing and 
overdoses and to use those data to inform prevention and response 
efforts in their jurisdictions.
    In the previously approved iteration of this data collection, the 
information collected surrounding OD2A (version 1.0) recipient feedback 
on their experiences receiving TA proved invaluable in the process of 
improving TA delivery and overall providing more useful TA. The 
feedback provided in the original data collection instruments was also 
used to improve the TA Strategy of the updated iterations of OD2A 
(including OD2A-S and OD2A: LOCAL) and their recipients. With the 
information that was collected in the previously approved ICR, CDC can 
more effectively deliver TA to an almost-doubled recipient group across 
two programs instead of one and ensure that continuous improvement in 
TA is occurring. Further information gathering through the two new 
instruments proposed in this ICR (the Implementation Feedback Form and 
the Focus Group script), will even more acutely enhance TA perspectives 
and needs to effectively and responsibly utilize the DOP TA Center 
resource.
    Training and technical assistance (TA) is essential to building 
knowledge and strengthening the capacity of recipients to implement and 
evaluate OD2A program strategies. CDC will develop and deploy a TA hub 
(hereafter referred to as the DOP TA Center) to deliver comprehensive 
technical assistance and training to support the successful 
implementation and evaluation of surveillance and prevention 
activities. The DOP TA Center is designed to enhance the efficiency, 
coordination, and

effectiveness of TA efforts by streamlining and centralizing the 
provision of overdose surveillance and prevention TA. TA to OD2A 
recipients is divided into four different levels with multiple modes of 
TA delivery and involves a wide range of TA providers including CDC 
staff, internal and external subject matter experts (SMEs) and program 
partners as well as Tanaq and ICF staff. The four TA levels below are 
used to direct the process for engaging stakeholders to support program 
recipients and triage appropriate resources to support their needs.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 388 annual burden hours. 
There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
