ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a continuing information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on a proposed information
collection project titled U.S. National
Authority for Containment of Poliovirus
Data Collection Tools. Data collection
will capture information relating to a
poliovirus containment breach or
incident at a U.S. facility and will assist
the U.S. National Authority for
Containment of Poliovirus (U.S. NAC)
in the initial stages of the investigation
into the breach, and also gather
information regarding personal
protective equipment and practices used
for work and/or storage of infectious
materials or potentially infectious at
laboratory facilities.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before January 3, 2025.

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
U.S. National Authority for
Containment of Poliovirus Data
Collection Tools (OMB Control No.
0920–1424, Exp. 12/31/2026)—
Revision—Office of Readiness and
Response (ORR), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention CDC)
Background and Brief Description
The role of the National Authority for
Containment of Poliovirus (U.S. NAC) is
to ensure that the requirements
established in the World Health
Organization (WHO) Global Action Plan
(GAP) III/IV standard are effectively
implemented and maintained in
facilities working with or storing
infectious poliovirus or potentially
infectious materials.
Risk assessments following an
incident are a critical component for
adequate application of the GAP
standard. To support risk assessment
activities, The Facility Incident
Reporting Form for Poliovirus Release
and Potential Exposure and the Facility
Incident Reporting Form for Poliovirus
Theft or Loss was created for facilities
to capture and submit incident
E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM
04NON1
87582
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 213 / Monday, November 4, 2024 / Notices
information to the U.S. NAC. These
forms will not only address the
biosafety and biosecurity containment
emergency elements of the GAP
standard but will also inform the U.S.
NAC risk assessments and thereby,
guide CDC’s determination of the
emergency response level and direction.
The information collected in the
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Survey for Laboratories will assist the
CDC, U.S. NAC and NIOSH with
developing guidance and
recommendations for PPE selection and
use in support of poliovirus
containment as well as identify
laboratory PPE commonly used to
evaluate laboratory PPE performance
characteristics in testing studies.
Information collected in the GAP
Poliovirus Containment PoliovirusEssential Facility Assessment Checklist
will aid U.S. facilities in preparing for
an audit to obtain a poliovirus
certificate of containment. Data
collected from the GAP Poliovirus
Containment Poliovirus-Essential
Facility Questionnaire will collect
additional information on poliovirus
materials held by a U.S. facility, their
work activities, and facility features.
The Poliovirus Containment Sampling
Plan and Sanitation Assessment Form
for Wastewater (WW) Systems
Supporting a Poliovirus-Essential
Facility (PEF) in the United States will
collect information to assess poliovirus
essential facility’s wastewater system,
the primary safeguards to reduce and
control the release of poliovirus from
the facility. In addition, it will verify the
safeguards of local wastewater utilities
that receive wastewater from the PEF.
The Appeals and Complaints form is
a new form that will be made available
by the U.S. NAC of Poliovirus and will
allow facilities or persons to appeal or
forward complaints based on services
provided. This form can be used to
appeal or initiate complaints with
regards to specific survey outreach that
had been conducted or decisions
rendered by the audit team after an
audit.
OMB approval is sought for three
years. The annualized estimated time
burden for this information collection is
129 hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
