Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance 
System 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 April 27, 
2017 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 or send an email to [email protected]. Direct written comments 
and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice to the 
Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide 
written comments within 30 days of notice publication.

Proposed Project

    Awardee Lead Profile Assessment (ALPA)--NEW--National Center for 
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is requesting 
a three-year OMB approval for a new information collection request 
(ICR) titled ``Awardee Lead Profile Assessment (ALPA).'' The goal of 
this information collection project is to obtain program management 
information from participating state and local governments that are 
awardees under the CDC Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention 
Program (HHLPPP) FY17 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA No. CDC-
RFA-EH17-1701PPHF17). CDC will use this annual information collection 
to: (1) Identify common characteristics of funded childhood lead 
poisoning prevention programs; and (2) inform guidance and resource 
development in support of the ultimate program goal, which is blood 
lead elimination in children.
    The public dissemination of these ALPA results will ensure that 
both funded and non-funded jurisdictions are able to: (1) Identify 
policies and other factors that support or hinder childhood lead 
poisoning prevention efforts; (2) understand what strategies are being 
used by funded public health agencies to implement childhood lead 
poisoning prevention activities; and (3) use this knowledge to develop 
and apply similar strategies to support the national agenda to 
eliminate childhood lead poisoning.
    CDC will collect this program management information annually from 
48 awardees, using two data collection modes. We anticipate that the 
majority, 40 respondents, will choose the web survey due to the ease of 
use, and that 8 respondents will choose the Word format mode.
    We estimate the time burden to be the same, 7 minutes per response, 
regardless of data collection mode (web survey or Word format). This 
estimate is based on a 2015 survey among 35 former awardees titled 
``Baseline Profile of State and Local Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning 
Prevention Programs (PROF-LEAD),'' approved under the generic clearance 
for ``Information Collections to Advance State, Tribal, Local, and 
Territorial (STLT) Governmental Health'' (OMB Control No. 0920-0879; 
expiration date 03/31/2018). Based on the success of the PROF-LEAD 
survey, the ALPA questionnaire, with a few revisions, is now proposed 
as an annual reporting requirement for awardees under the FY17 FOA.
    There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. The 
total annual time burden requested is 6 hours.
