Proposed Project Blood Lead Surveillance System (BLSS) (OMB Control No. 0920–0931, Exp. 07/31/2024)—Extension—National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description This is a request for a three-year Extension for an existing Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance titled ‘‘Blood Lead Surveillance System (BLSS)’’ (OMB Control No.0920–0931, Exp. 07/31/2024). The National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) is leading this data collection conducted by for two Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) programs; one for childhood blood lead surveillance by NCEH and another for adult blood lead surveillance by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The goal of the NCEH Childhood Blood Lead Surveillance (CBLS) Program is to support blood lead screening and to promote primary prevention of exposure to lead. The CBLS Program also supports secondary prevention of adverse health effects when lead exposures occur in children, through improved program management and oversight in respondent jurisdictions. The goal of the NIOSH Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance (ABLES) Program is to build state capacity for adult blood lead surveillance programs to measure trends in adult blood lead levels and to prevent lead over-exposures. NCEH has a five-year cooperative agreement, titled ‘‘Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention and Surveillance of Blood Lead Levels in Children’’ (Funding Opportunity Announcement [FOA] No. CDC–RFA–EH21–2102). The first two years of this ICR will extend from FY24 through FY26, and thus will be covered for two-thirds of the ICR three-year period, while funding for the third year of this ICR will be determined in the future. Data submission to the ABLES Program is voluntary and completed through data sharing agreements with state agencies or their bona fide agents. Blood lead surveillance over the human lifespan is covered under this single ICR, specifically for children younger than 16 years through CBLS at NCEH, and for adults 16 years and older, through ABLES at NIOSH. Over the past several decades there have been substantial efforts in environmental lead abatement, improved protection from occupational lead exposure, and a reduction in the prevalence of population blood lead levels (BLLs) over time. The U.S. population BLLs have substantially decreased over the last four decades. For example, the CDC has reported the 1976–1980 U.S. mean BLL in children six months to five years was 16.0 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL), and 14.1 mcg/dL among adults 18 to 74 years. More recently, the CDC reported the 2009–2010 U.S. BLL geometric means among children one to five years and among adults 20 years and older as 1.2 mcg/dL for both age groups. In 2012, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) concluded that there is sufficient evidence that even BLLs less than 5 mcg/dL are associated with adverse health effects in both children and adults. Despite the reduction in the overall population BLL over four decades, lead exposures continue to occur at unacceptable levels for individuals in communities and workplaces across the nation. Surveillance will continue through CBLS and ABLES to identify individuals with BLLs greater than most children who may need follow-up. Surveillance can also help prioritize communities for primary prevention of lead exposure and expanding blood lead testing. As of October 2021, NCEH defines its Blood Lead Reference Value (BLRV) for children at 3.5 mcg/dL. NIOSH defines an elevated BLLs as greater than or equal to 5 mcg/dL for adults. Respondents are defined as state, local, and territorial health departments with lead poisoning prevention programs. The estimated annual time burden for NCEH CBLS is 1,058 hours. The estimated annual time burden for NIOSH ABLES is 280 hours. In total, CDC is requesting approval for a total annual time burden of 1,338 hours. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Form name State, Local and Territorial Health Departments, or their Bona Fide Agents.

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 the 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 collecting information on those to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic responses; and 5. Assess information collection costs. Proposed Project Needle Exchange Utilization Survey (NEXUS)—New—National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The purpose of the Needle Exchange Utilization Survey (NEXUS) is to develop a surveillance system to monitor drug use, prevention behaviors, and the infectious disease consequences PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 46119 of drug use in 6–15 select urban and non-urban areas of the U.S. that the opioid crisis has impacted. Such a surveillance system is needed to inform prevention efforts and policy. The specific objectives of the project are to assess the following among persons who inject drugs who are recruited in syringe services programs (SSPs) and their peers who use drugs through peer-driven recruitment: (1) drug use and sexual behaviors, injection risk networks, receipt of prevention services, and barriers to prevention and care; and (2) the prevalence of HIV and hepatitis C (HCV) infections. The project will involve a two-stage sampling approach. First, up to 15 SSPs will be selected to ensure geographic diversity and representation of key program characteristics, such as the syringe distribution model (needs-based vs. all others) and length in operation (<5 years, ≥5 years). Second, SSP clients, the majority who are persons who inject drugs (PWID), and their peers who use drugs will be recruited through a combination of direct recruitment at each SSP and peer-driven recruitment to partake in a survey and HCV and HIV testing. Clients of SSPs and their peers who meet eligibility criteria will complete a survey using an Electronic Data Capture system, a secure web-based application for administering online surveys. The survey will include questions on drug use and sexual behaviors, injection risk networks, drug treatment history, history of drug use-related adverse health outcomes, experiences with law enforcement, HIV and HCV testing experience, and use of prevention and health care services. Lastly, participants will be offered anonymous HIV and HCV testing in conjunction with the survey, which they may refuse with no effect on participation in the survey. Data from NEXUS will be used to inform the planning and evaluation of prevention programs at the local and national levels that aim to reduce adverse health outcomes due to injection and non-injection drug use and to contribute to the overall opioid crisis response efforts. Data from NEXUS will also be used for an ongoing surveillance system in the U.S. to monitor trends in drug use and the infectious disease consequences of drug use. Approximately 6,000 individuals will complete the eligibility screener. Our target population is 300 participants per site or 4,500 for up to 15 sites. We anticipate that, on average, 25% or 1,499 persons (for up to 15 SSPs) will not be interested in completing a questionnaire, yielding a maximum of E:\FR\FM\28MYN1.SGM 28MYN1
