Office of Science and Technology Policy
(OSTP) and the new Open Government
Federal Advisory Committee, is leading
the development of the 6th U.S. Open
Government National Action Plan. The
U.S. Open Government Secretariat is
responsible for coordinating this effort
and ensuring the plan reflects the input
and priorities of diverse stakeholders.
This RFI is intended to gather diverse
ideas and suggestions for the U.S.’s 6th
Open Government National Action Plan.
Your input is crucial in shaping a plan
that reflects the needs and priorities of
the American people. In addition to, or
as an alternative to, submitting written
feedback in response to this RFI, you are
invited to attend a virtual listening
session hosted by GSA on Wednesday,
October 9, 2024 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
ET. This on-the-record and recorded
session offers an opportunity to gain
further insight and provide live input.
Registration is required. Please register
for the event at https://

II. Considerations for Responses
When submitting your ideas, please
keep in mind that all potential
commitments must align with the
resource constraints of the U.S.
government. This includes
considerations such as budget,
personnel, and the feasibility of
implementation. Commitments
included in the 6th U.S. Open
Government National Action Plan will
need to be specific, measurable,
achievable, relevant, and time-bound
(SMART).
Respondents are encouraged to
structure their ideas around one of the
10 challenge themes in the Open
Government Challenge, available at
https://www.opengovpartnership.org/
the-open-gov-challenge. These themes
provide a comprehensive framework to
structure responses and ensure all
aspects of open government are
considered.
The U.S. Open Government
Secretariat values all contributions and
will carefully review each submission
based on the above criteria. GSA will
review and consider the usability and
applicability of each of the responses to
this RFI in shaping the 6th U.S. Open
Government National Action Plan. That
being said, all RFI responses will be
made available to the Open Government
Federal Advisory Committee as input
into their official recommendations to
the commitments that should be
included in the 6th U.S. Open
Government National Action Plan. To
help refine your proposals, respondents
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
may wish to review previous U.S. Open
Government National Action Plans
(https://www.gsa.gov/governmentwideinitiatives/us-open-government/
resources#tab--National-Action-Plans)
to see if similar ideas have been
addressed before.
You are invited to provide ideas for
new topics and commitments that could
be included in the 6th U.S. Open
Government National Action Plan.
Respondents do not need to respond to
every question and may provide
additional feedback for the U.S. Open
Government Secretariat to consider in
developing and implementing the 6th
U.S. Open Government National Action
Plan. Specifically, GSA is looking for:
1. Problem Identification: Please
explain a specific problem that open
government can address. Identify unmet
needs, broken processes, and problems
around transparency, participation, and
accountability. Explain how open
government commitments can deliver a
more responsive, equitable, and
accountable government for and by the
people.
2. Opportunities to Build on Existing
Work: Identify existing work by a
federal government agency or outside of
the government, such as by civil society
individuals or nongovernmental
organizations, that can be built upon to
support open government efforts. How
can these efforts be expanded or
enhanced to create meaningful
commitments?
3. Innovative Approaches: What
innovative approaches or emerging
technologies could the government
explore to enhance transparency, public
participation, and accountability? How
could these be integrated into the 6th
U.S. Open Government National Action
Plan?
4. Resources and Recommendations:
Suggest existing reports, collections of
recommendations, and landscape
analyses that can help inform a
comprehensive, responsive, and
evidence-based co-creation process for
the 6th U.S. Open Government National
Action Plan.

III. Topics and Key Questions
BILLING CODE 6820–UA–P
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled ‘‘Generic
Clearance for the Collection of Minimal
Data Necessary for Case Data During an
Emergency Response’’ 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 March 22,
2024 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC
received one comment 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
Generic Clearance for the Collection
of Minimal Data Necessary for Case Data
During an Emergency Response—New—
Office of Public Health Data,
Surveillance, and Technology
(OPHDST), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
During a public health emergency
response, state, tribal, local, and
territorial (STLT) health departments
and CDC need to exchange data on
confirmed, probable, and suspected
cases rapidly. Timely notifications of
cases from STLT to CDC are critical to
provide situational awareness at the
federal level to support decision
making, particularly for public health
threats that escalate quickly and cross
jurisdictions. To this end, collecting the
minimum data necessary will provide
standardization and consistency among
technical approaches and Agency-wide
processes. The harmonization across
CDC programs and STLTs will reduce
the burden on STLTs and healthcare
providers from ad hoc requests for case
data from CDC programs.
Section 319D of the Public Health
Service Act (as amended Through Pub.
L. 118–35, enacted January 19, 2024)
states that CDC shall define the
minimum data necessary as the Agency
collaborates with STLTs and other
partners to improve the appropriate near
real-time electronic transmission of
interoperable public health data for
situational awareness and response to
public health emergencies. In addition,
the CDC Advisory Committee to the
Director (ACD) recommends that CDC
should establish the minimum data
necessary for core data sources
including case data to be transmitted to
CDC from STLTs.
CDC requests a three-year approval for
a new Generic Information Collection
Request (ICR), Clearance for the
Collection of Minimal Data Necessary
for Case Data During an Emergency
Response. This new ICR includes a
request for approval for CDC to collect
the minimum data necessary for
confirmed, probable, and suspected
cases of any disease or condition that is
the subject of an emergency response.
Data may be sent to CDC by STLT
Health Departments through Data
Collation and Integration for Public
Health Event Response (DCIPHER) or
other automated or non-automated
mechanisms including but not limited
to fax, email, secure file upload, and
data entry to a secure website.
Data will be used for ongoing
situational awareness and to monitor
the occurrence and spread of the disease
or condition. Other uses may include
identifying populations or geographic
areas at high risk; planning prevention
and control programs and policies; and
allocating resources appropriately. The
data may also be used by CDC to obtain
travel histories and other information to
describe and manage outbreaks and
conduct public health follow-up to
minimize the spread of disease. The
burden estimates include the time that
states, territories, freely associated
states, and cities will incur to submit
confirmed, probable, and suspected case
data for diseases or conditions that are
the subject of an emergency response.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 10,951 annualized burden
hours for the 60 respondents. There is
no cost to respondents other than their
time to participate.
