Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 227 / Monday, November 25, 2024 / Notices
Clearance for data collections to support
research focused on identifying and
addressing environmental factors
associated with foodborne illness
outbreaks and other food safety issues.
These data are essential to
environmental public health regulators’
efforts to respond more effectively to
and prevent future outbreaks and food
safety-associated events.
An estimated 47.8 million foodborne
illnesses occur annually in the United
States, resulting in 127,839
hospitalizations, and 3,037 deaths
annually. These figures indicate that
foodborne illness is a significant
problem in the U.S. Reducing foodborne
illness requires identification and
understanding of the environmental
factors that cause these illnesses. CDC
needs to know how and why food
becomes contaminated with foodborne
illness pathogens. This information can
then be used to determine effective food
safety prevention methods. Ultimately,
these actions can lead to increased
regulatory program effectiveness and
decreased foodborne illness. The
purpose of this food safety research
program is to identify and understand
environmental factors associated with
foodborne illness and outbreaks. This

The Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing
an opportunity for the public to
comment on CMS’ intention to collect
information from the public. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Federal agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information (including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information) and to allow
60 days for public comment on the
proposed action. Interested persons are
invited to send comments regarding our
burden estimates or any other aspect of
this collection of information, including
the necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper
performance of the agency’s functions,
the accuracy of the estimated burden,
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected, and the use of automated

meetings, scientific journal
publications, and website postings. Data
from these studies have been presented
in 13 articles in peer-reviewed scientific
journals, in multiple presentations at
national food safety conferences, and on
CDC’s website.
The current package is a Revision of
the previous PRA clearance from 2021.
This package includes the potential for
sites to offer incentives to participants
in EHS-Net data collection activities.
This will not result in an increased cost
to the Federal Government because the
cost of incentives is included in the
existing EHS-Net cooperative
agreement. The annual cost to the
Federal Government has increased by a
maximum of $614 per year to cover the
cost of Spanish translation of the
manager and worker interview forms by
the CDC Multilingual Services Team.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 844 annual burden hours.
There is no change in the estimated
annualized burden hours from the
previous PRA Clearance and there is no
cost to respondents other than their time
to participate.

program is conducted by the
Environmental Health Specialists
Network (EHS-Net), a collaborative
project of CDC, FDA, USDA, and local
and state sites.
Environmental factors associated with
foodborne illness include both food
safety practices (e.g., inadequate
cleaning practices) and the factors in the
environment associated with those
practices (e.g., worker and retail food
establishment characteristics). To
understand these factors, we need to
collect data from those who prepare
food (i.e., food workers) and on the
environments in which the food is
prepared (i.e., retail food establishment
kitchens). Thus, data collection methods
for this generic package include: (1)
manager and worker interviews/
information collection instruments; and
(2) observation of kitchen environments.
Both methods allow data collection on
food safety practices and environmental
factors associated with those practices.
To date, EHS-Net has conducted six
studies under this Generic Clearance.
The data from these studies have been
disseminated to environmental public
health/food safety regulatory programs
and the food industry in the form of
presentations at conferences and

For the collection of data related to
the Patient Driven Payment Model
and the Skilled Nursing Facility
Quality Reporting Program (QRP)
Under the 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.
The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires federal agencies to publish a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this
notice.

the collection of four new items as
standardized patient assessment data
elements, modified one item collected
as a standardized patient assessment
data element, and removed twenty-two
items that are not needed for case-mix
adjusting the SNF per diem payment for
PDPM. As a result of these changes, the
total annual hour burden across
facilities has decreased, and the annual
cost burden across facilities has
decreased. Form Number: CMS–10387
