DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

[60Day-20-20PA; Docket No. CDC-2020-0069]


Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice with comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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 and/or 
continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed 
information collection project titled ``DOP Cross-Site Evaluation of 
Overdose Data to Action Program.'' This collection is designed to 
assess the implementation and the effectiveness of the Overdose Data to 
Action (OD2A) program (CDC-RFA-CE19-1904) activities and identify the 
conditions under which these activities are effective and for whom.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before August 14, 2020.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2020-
0069 by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments.
     Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review 
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road 
NE, MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments 
to Regulations.gov.
    Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking 
portal (regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the address listed above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the 
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan 
and instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection 
Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton 
Road NE, MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329; phone: 404-639-7570; Email: 
[email protected].

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; and
    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.
    5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project

    DOP Cross-Site Evaluation of Overdose Data to Action Program-New--
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Overdose Data to Action Program (OD2A) is a comprehensive, national 
overdose prevention program developed by CDC's NCIPC. The purpose of 
the OD2A program is to support funded jurisdictions in obtaining high 
quality, complete, and timely data on opioid prescribing and overdoses, 
and to use those data to inform prevention and response efforts. The 
OD2A (CDC-RFA-CE19-1904) funds a total of 66 recipients (state and 
local health departments) to implement surveillance and prevention 
strategies, through a three-year cooperative agreement. OD2A funded 
recipients consist of 47 state-, 16 city/county-, and three district/
territory-level jurisdictions.
    The purpose of this information collection is to assess the 
implementation and the effectiveness of the OD2A program activities and 
identify the conditions under which these activities are most 
effective. Activities include key informant interviews (KII) and focus 
groups (FG), and are focused on the tools needed to evaluate the unique 
OD2A program.
    The implementation evaluation will identify the barriers and 
facilitators associated with deploying several prevention activities 
targeting specific populations within specific jurisdictions. The 
outcome evaluation will assess short term (e.g., increased awareness 
and coordination of linkages to care) and intermediate (e.g., increased 
provider, health system, and payer awareness of and supports for 
guideline-concordant opioid prescribing, non-opioid medications, and 
non-pharmacological treatments) outcomes.
    Data collected from this evaluation will be used by the CDC to 
obtain valid information regarding how recipients operationalized and 
implemented their chosen prevention activities, assess the impact of 
OD2A and different components of OD2A on the trajectory of the opioid 
epidemic, and through the provision of these data back to the 
recipients, improve the implementation and impact of further OD2A 
prevention activities.
