In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled ‘‘OD2A: LOCAL
Linkage to and Retention in Care
Surveillance’’ 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 November
14, 2023, to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC
received two comments related to the
previous notice. This notice serves to
allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
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/

Proposed Project
OD2A: LOCAL Linkage to and
Retention in Care Surveillance—New—
National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In the United States, opioid overdose
deaths have increased significantly over
the years, and drug overdose deaths in
the United States increased by 14%
from 2020 to 2021. Of the 106,699 drug
overdose deaths in 2021, over 75%
involved an opioid. Deaths involving
psychostimulants, such as
methamphetamine, also increased from
PO 00000

2020 to 2021. Scaling up prevention and
surveillance activities to address
substance misuse and nonfatal and fatal
drug overdoses are priorities for the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). Evidence shows that
reducing drug overdoses requires
increased capacity for linking people to
treatment and harm reduction services
and improving retention across care
settings. Linking individuals with a
substance use disorder to treatment and
harm reduction is a key strategy for
saving lives and it is crucial that
jurisdictions implement surveillance
strategies that can inform and improve
their linkage to and retention in care
activities.
In September 2023, CDC launched a
new surveillance program as part of the
Overdose Data to Action: Limiting
Overdose through Collaborative Actions
in Localities (OD2A: LOCAL) Notice of
Funding Opportunity (NOFO): Linkage
to and Retention in Care Surveillance.
Linkage to Care is a five-year NOFO
which connects individuals at risk of
overdose to evidence-based treatment,
services, and supports, thereby reducing
future overdoses and other harms
associated with substance use.
Implementation of surveillance systems
to collect data on standardized Linkage
to and Retention in Care indicators is
needed so that health departments can
measure the impact of their linkage to
care programs, inform overdose
prevention activities, and appropriately
allocate public health resources where
they are most needed.
Funded local health departments will
be tasked with the collection and
sharing of standardized Linkage to and
Retention in Care indicators with CDC,
as part of this effort. Local health
departments are uniquely suited to
implement surveillance systems for
standardized Linkage to and Retention
in Care (LTC) indicators due to their
proximity to the communities they serve
and access to data from local linkage to
care programs and activities. Following
an extensive environmental scan and
E:\FR\FM\25JNN1.SGM
25JNN1
53106
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 122 / Tuesday, June 25, 2024 / Notices
with input from local and state overdose
prevention and response programs, the
CDC defined a substance use disorder
cascade of care (CoC) and a set of
minimum standard measures to assess
local LTC efforts. The overarching goal
of this initiative hinges on generating
actionable data that jurisdictions can
leverage to enhance and fine-tune their
linkage to and retention in care
programs. Linkage to and Retention in
Care surveillance will also foster a
robust foundation for deriving insights
into disparities, unmet needs, and
optimal practices across the CoC.
This approach will help standardize
data processes to drive data-to-action
decision making and improve intrajurisdictional comparisons over time to
drive better health outcomes.
Ultimately, a standardized approach
ensures that a greater number of
individuals access the care they require
and drives meaningful change in how
individuals are connected to care. CDC
requests OMB approval for an estimated
240 annual burden hours for this
collection. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

participation on Federal workgroups or
prior experience serving on a Federal
advisory committee does not disqualify
a candidate; however, HHS policy is to
avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple
committee memberships. Board
members are Special Government

financial disclosure reports at the
beginning of and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates
for BSC, NCIPC membership each year
and provides a slate of nominees for
consideration to the Secretary of HHS
for final selection. HHS notifies selected
candidates of their appointment near
the start of the term in September 2025,
or as soon as the HHS selection process
is completed. Note that the need for
different expertise varies from year to
year and a candidate who is not selected
in one year may be reconsidered in a
subsequent year.
Candidates should submit the
following items:
D Cover letter stating area of expertise
D Current curriculum vitae, including
complete contact information
(telephone numbers, mailing address,
email address)
D At least one letter of
recommendation from person(s) not

submit letter(s) from current HHS
employees if they wish, but at least one
letter must be submitted by a person not
employed by an HHS agency (e.g., CDC,
National Institutes of Health, Food and

and Mental Health Services
Administration).
Nominations may be submitted by the
candidate or by the person/organization
recommending the candidate.
