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 ``DOP Cross-Site Program Implementation 
Evaluation of Overdose Data to Action Program'' 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 06/15/2020 to obtain comments from the 
public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive public comments 
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 agencie's 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. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct 
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in

Proposed Project

    DOP Cross-Site Program Implementation 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

    The Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) program is a comprehensive, 
national overdose prevention program developed by CDC. 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. OD2A 
funds a total of 66 recipients (state and local health departments) to 
implement surveillance and prevention strategies, through a three-year 
cooperative agreement.
    This information collection review is focused on the tools needed 
to evaluate the unique OD2A program. This information collection 
includes key informant interviews (KII) and focus groups (FG). The 
information collection is unique and will be the first evaluation of 
the OD2A program. There are no other efforts that CDC knows of to 
obtain program information required to

[[Page 70164]]

demonstrate impact and improve implementation of OD2A. 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, and for 
whom. The implementation evaluation will identify the barriers and 
facilitators associated with deploying several prevention activities 
targeting specific populations within specific jurisdictions.
    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, to 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, to improve the implementation and impact of further OD2A 
prevention activities. There are no costs to the respondents other than 
their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 574.
