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
National Healthcare Safety Network
(NHSN) Coronavirus (COVID–19)
Surveillance in Healthcare Facilities
(OMB Control No. 0920–1317, Exp. 3/
31/2026)—Revision—National Center
for Emerging and Zoonotic Infection
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Healthcare Quality
Promotion (DHQP), National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) collects
data from healthcare facilities in the
National Healthcare Safety Network
(NHSN). NHSN allows facilities to share
data immediately with local, state, and
national partners for impact monitoring,
decision-making, and surveillance
activities. The NHSN COVID–19
Modules (OMB Control No. 0920–1317)
are designed to standardize the data
elements collected across the country
regarding the impact of COVID–19 on
healthcare facilities. In collecting
standardized data, NHSN provides a
vendor-neutral platform and a national
lens into the burden hospitals are
experiencing in a way that is designed
to support the public health response.
NHSN is a platform that exists in nearly
all acute-care hospitals, nursing homes,
and dialysis facilities in the US and can
provide a secure, sturdy infrastructure.
The ICR was previously approved in
May 2024 for 8,864,813 responses and
6,460,072 burden hours. The proposed
changes in this new ICR include
revisions to 12 existing data collection
forms and addition of two new data

There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate.
