Multisector collaboration is critical to preventing overdoses and saving lives. Two key sectors in this response are public health and public safety, as they are both on the front lines and both tasked with improving community safety and well-being. CDC demonstrates strong commitment to public health/public safety partnerships through implementation of several national programs, including the Overdose Response Strategy (ORS). ORS teams support public health and public safety entities in their jurisdictions by: • Sharing data systems to inform rapid and effective community overdose prevention efforts. • Supporting immediate, evidencebased response efforts that can directly reduce overdose deaths. • Designing and using promising strategies at the intersection of public health and public safety. • Disseminating information to support the implementation of evidence-informed overdose prevention strategies. As the ORS is one of CDC’s flagship overdose prevention programs, and partnering with public safety is one of CDC’s key overdose prevention strategies, a greater understanding of the impact and effectiveness of the ORS is needed to inform program enhancements and improvements. This ICR focuses on a survey and a reporting tool that ORS teams and their partners will complete to provide critical data to CDC for program monitoring, to inform technical assistance and guidance documents produced by CDC or other partners, and to assess the extent to which the ORS program is achieving the goal of supporting public health and public safety partnerships to reduce drug overdose. It will also provide CDC with the capacity to respond in a timely manner to requests for information about the program from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the White House, Congress, and other sources. Information collected will be disseminated to ORS teams and to the public via an annual Program Evaluation Report and an ORS Annual Report. Data from both reports will largely be used to develop programmatic reports, tools, and implementation guides for the purposes of program improvement. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 633 annual burden hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.

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.

Background and Brief Description Heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) kill over VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:27 Oct 18, 2024 Jkt 265001 800,000 Americans each year, accounting for one in every three deaths. CVD is the nation’s number one killer among both men and women and the leading cause of health disparities. Million Hearts®, a national, publicprivate initiative co-led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), was established to address this issue. Whether migrating towards value-based reimbursement or simply striving for a significant impact in reducing the devastation of heart attacks and strokes, clinical organizations are positioned to improve the health of the population they serve by implementing highimpact, evidence-based strategies. Achieving a Million Hearts® Hospitals & Health Systems designation signals a commitment to not only clinical quality, but population health overall. Initially launched in 2020, the Program will continue to recognize institutions that are working to systematically improve the cardiovascular health of the population and communities that they serve by implementing strategies under the Million Hearts® priority areas of: Keeping People Healthy; Optimizing Care; Improving Outcomes for Priority Populations; and Innovating for Health. CDC anticipates that new applicants will range from health systems with multiple hospitals, hospitals with and without ambulatory medical practices, and medical practices not affiliated with hospitals. Any clinical entity whose leaders consider it eligible may apply. Recognition can be achieved by a robust commitment to implement specific strategies, by implementing specific strategies, and most importantly, by achieving specific outcomes. Applicants will complete the Million Hearts® Hospitals & Health Systems Recognition Program application, indicating the areas in which they are committing to implement Million Hearts® strategies; areas in which they have implemented key strategies; and those strategies for which they have achieved outcomes/ results. Applicants must address a minimum of one strategy in at least three of the four priority areas (Keeping People Healthy, Optimizing Care, Improving Outcomes for Priority Populations, and Innovating for Health) that are outlined in the application. PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 However, they are encouraged to target as many strategies as is appropriate for their institution. Applicants will be subject to a background check. The Million Hearts® Hospitals and Health Systems designation conveys that the institution is committed to preventing heart attacks and strokes by a combination of efforts that are about Keeping People Healthy, Optimizing Care, Improving Outcomes for Priority Populations and Innovating for Health. All applicants with reported outcomes and a select number of those who are committing to implement or are implementing Million Hearts® strategies, will be asked to participate in a semi-structured, qualitative interview. The purpose of the interview is to obtain in-depth contextual information about the Million Hearts® strategies and facilitators used to achieve improved cardiovascular outcomes among the applicant’s patient population. Applicants with reported outcomes will receive increased recognition from Million Hearts® by having their success stories highlighted by Million Hearts® by placement on the Million Hearts® website, e-newsletter. The program’s web-based application will stay open throughout the year and applications will be reviewed on a quarterly basis and recognized within six months of acceptable review. CDC estimates that information will be collected from up to 50 applicants per year. The overall goal of the Million Hearts® initiative is to prevent one million heart attacks and strokes. Promoting evidence-based strategies that prevent CVD is one focus of the initiative. CDC will use the information collected through the Million Hearts® Hospitals & Health Systems Recognition Program to increase widespread attention on successful and sustainable implementation strategies, improve understanding of these strategies at the practice level, bring visibility to organizations that commit, implement, or have implemented Million Hearts® strategies and motivate other hospitals and health systems to strengthen their efforts to address CVD.

Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests approval of this Revision to support the evaluation of technical assistance (TA) provided for the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) in States (OD2A–S) and OD2A: Limiting Overdose through Collaborative Actions in Localities (LOCAL) (OD2A: 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, PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 to gain access to high quality and complete data on opioid prescribing and overdoses. The data is used to inform prevention and response efforts in their jurisdictions. CDC developed and deployed a technical assistance (TA) hub (hereafter referred to as the OD2A TA Center) to deliver comprehensive technical assistance and training to support the successful implementation and evaluation of surveillance and prevention activities. The OD2A 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. The evaluation consists of web-based surveys designed to collect process and outcome measures about TA access, utilization, and outcomes across all OD2A recipient programs. The Technical Assistance Feedback Form will be administered to collect immediate feedback following individual TA encounters and group events such as webinars and in-person trainings. The Annual OD2A TA Survey will be distributed twice (mid-point and final) to assess satisfaction with overall TA provided and the extent to which TA supports informed implementation of OD2A strategies. The information obtained through this evaluation will allow TA providers to assess OD2A recipients’ experience and utility of knowledge and resources gained through individual TA support, peer-topeer sessions, and other group trainings.

Background and Brief Description

    Heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) kill 
over 800,000 Americans each year, accounting for one in every three 
deaths. CVD is the nation's number one killer among both men and women 
and the leading cause of health disparities. Million Hearts[supreg], a 
national, public-private initiative co-led by the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 
Services (CMS), was established to address this issue. Whether 
migrating towards value-based reimbursement or simply striving for a 
significant impact in reducing the devastation of heart attacks and 
strokes, clinical organizations are positioned to improve the health of 
the population they serve by implementing high-impact, evidence-based 
strategies. Achieving a Million Hearts[supreg] Hospitals & Health 
Systems designation signals a commitment to not only clinical quality, 
but population health overall.
    Initially launched in 2020, the Program will continue to recognize 
institutions that are working to systematically improve the 
cardiovascular health of the population and communities that they serve 
by implementing strategies under the Million Hearts[supreg] priority 
areas of: Keeping People Healthy; Optimizing Care; Improving Outcomes 
for Priority Populations; and Innovating for Health. CDC anticipates 
that new applicants will range from health systems with multiple

medical practices not affiliated with hospitals.
    Any clinical entity whose leaders consider it eligible may apply. 
Recognition can be achieved by a robust commitment to implement 
specific strategies, by implementing specific strategies, and most 
importantly, by achieving specific outcomes. Applicants will complete 
the Million Hearts[supreg] Hospitals & Health Systems Recognition 
Program application, indicating the areas in which they are committing 
to implement Million Hearts[supreg] strategies; areas in which they 
have implemented key strategies; and those strategies for which they

Populations, and Innovating for Health) that are outlined in the 
application. However, they are encouraged to target as many strategies 
as is appropriate for their institution. Applicants will be subject to 
a background check.
    The Million Hearts[supreg] Hospitals and Health Systems designation 
conveys that the institution is committed to preventing heart attacks 
and strokes by a combination of efforts that are about Keeping People 
Healthy, Optimizing Care, Improving Outcomes for Priority Populations 
and Innovating for Health. All applicants with reported outcomes and a 
select number of those who are committing to implement or are

acceptable review. CDC estimates that information will be collected 
from up to 50 applicants per year.
    The overall goal of the Million Hearts[supreg] initiative is to 
prevent one million heart attacks and strokes. Promoting evidence-based 
strategies that prevent CVD is one focus of the initiative. CDC will 
use the information collected through the Million Hearts[supreg] 
Hospitals & Health Systems Recognition Program to increase widespread 
attention on successful and sustainable implementation strategies, 
improve understanding of these strategies at the practice level, bring 
visibility to organizations that commit, implement, or have implemented 
Million Hearts[supreg] strategies and motivate other hospitals and 
health systems to strengthen their efforts to address CVD.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. CDC requests OMB 
approval for an estimated 149 annual burden hours. Participation is 
voluntarily and there are no costs to respondents other than their 
time.
