Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
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 proposed information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on a proposed information
collection project titled National
Concussion Surveillance System. This
data collection is designed to allow CDC
to calculate the prevalence and
incidence of traumatic brain injuries
(TBI) for both adults and children, and
the circumstances related to TBIs
occurring in the preceding year.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before January 17,
2025.
SUMMARY:
You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2024–
0094 by either of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal:

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 Concussion Surveillance
System—New—National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2014, an Institute of Medicine
(IOM) report titled ‘‘Sports-Related
Concussions in Youth: Improving the
Science, Changing the Culture,’’
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
recommended that the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
establish and oversee a national
surveillance system to accurately
determine the incidence of sportsrelated concussions [i.e., mild traumatic
brain injuries, or TBIs], including those
in youth ages five to 21. The report
further recommended that the cause,
nature, and extent of the concussive
injury also should be collected,
including the sport or activity, level of
competition, and signs and symptoms
consistent with a concussion. The IOM
recommendation was made because
there were significant gaps in
understanding of TBI, including
concussion, incidence and prevalence
estimates. Current non-fatal TBI
surveillance estimates typically utilize
emergency department (ED) or
hospitalization-focused data sources.
But these sources cannot account for
injuries that go untreated or injuries
diagnosed in primary care, urgent care,
or specialty care settings, potentially
missing information on millions of TBIs
sustained each year. Without an
accurate understanding of the burden,
trends, and characteristics of these
injuries, it is challenging to design or
focus effective prevention programs,
policies, or practices. The consequences
from TBI are staggering, with many
resulting in intensive and long-term care
needs. This data collection could help
fill significant knowledge gaps and
inform prevention efforts across the
country.
The purpose of this data collection is
to calculate the 12-month prevalence
and incidence of TBI for both adults and
children, and the circumstances related
to TBIs occurring in the preceding 12
months. The data collection instrument
is largely based on the instrument used
during the pilot that utilized cognitive
testing prior to deployment. Data
collected will include reports of head
injuries experienced in the preceding 12
months, and the most recent head injury
reported will be assessed for symptoms
of TBI. We will also query respondents
who sustained a head injury regarding
the mechanism of injury (cause) and
circumstances related to the TBI,
medical care received, impact on social
and school functioning, and information
related to returning to work/school/
play.
Data will be analyzed to produce
nationally representative 12-month
incidence and prevalence estimates of
non-fatal TBI in children (ages 5–17)
and adults. Data collected are likely to
be used by state and local governments,
researchers, voluntary health
organizations, physicians, health
educators, workplace wellness

programs, healthcare systems, and
professional and advocacy organizations
to guide program investments, provide
up-to-date information on symptom
presentation, healthcare utilization
patterns, and patient recovery among
others, and to provide information on
prevention of TBI.
Data obtained from this data
collection are not available from
currently existing databases, and the
data needed for analysis cannot be
added to existing data collection
processes. This data collection will
occur over three years. After each data
collection year, findings will be
reviewed to identify potential
modifications to the methodology and
survey for following year collection.
Depending on the nature and scope of
the improvements, a change request or
a Revision package will be submitted to
OMB for review and approval. CDC
requests OMB approval for an estimated
5,656 annual burden hours. There is no
cost to respondents other than their time
to participate.

cancer are also eligible to apply. This
includes but may not be limited to
breast cancer survivors 45 years of age
or younger, and caregivers of said
persons. Federal employees will not be
considered for membership. Members
may be invited to serve up to four-year
terms. Selection of members is based on

and cannot be full-time employees of
the U.S. Government. Current
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. Committee
members are Special Government
Employees, requiring the filing of
financial disclosure reports at the
beginning of and annually during their
