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 Awardee Lead Profile Assessment (ALPA) to the 
Office

[[Page 70152]]

of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously 
published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations'' notice on July 20, 2020 to obtain comments from the 
public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive 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 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. 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 
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) (OMB Control No. 0920-1215, 
Exp. 02/28/2021)--Revision--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 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance for a three-year revised 
information collection request (ICR) titled ``Awardee Lead Profile 
Assessment (ALPA)'' (OMB Control No. 0920-1215; expiration date 02/28/
2021). The goal of this ICR is to build on the CDC's existing childhood 
lead poisoning prevention program. Based on program successes over the 
past three years, CDC has made ALPA an annual reporting requirement for 
ongoing and new CDC Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs 
(CLPPPs), including the FY17 ``Lead Poisoning Prevention--Childhood 
Lead Poisoning Prevention--financed partially by Prevention and Public 
Health Funds'' (CDC-RFA-EH17-1701PPHF17); the FY18 ``Childhood Lead 
Poisoning Prevention Projects, State and Local Childhood Lead Poisoning 
Prevention and Surveillance of Blood Lead Levels in Children'' (CDC-
RFA-EH18-1806); and the FY20 ``Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention and 
Surveillance of Blood Lead Levels in Children'' (CDC-RFA-EH20-2001). 
This annual information collection will be used 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 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.
    This program management information collection has been revised in 
several ways. Due to an increase in funding and program growth, CDC is 
requesting an increase in the number of respondents, defined as state 
and local governments, or their bona fide agents.
    CDC will continue to use two data collection modes, a web survey 
and an email survey. We anticipate that most of the respondents (n=60; 
98 percent) will use the web survey. The estimates of the number and 
percentage of respondents by mode of data collection are based on 
previous data collections. In the past, respondents only used the email 
survey if they had technical difficulties with the web survey, which 
was rare. For this purpose, we estimate that only 2% (n=1) of the 
respondents may need to submit an email survey. This represents a 
change in distribution from the 2018 estimates, which were initially 
assumed as 83.3% for the web survey and 16.7% for the email survey.
    A redistribution by mode of collection will not affect the total 
time burden requested as the time per response is the same for either 
mode; however, the time to take the survey has increased from seven 
minutes in 2018 to 47 minutes per response due to a revision of the 
survey. This revised time estimate per response is based on pilot tests 
of the revised survey among nine respondents, and includes the time 
needed to review the ALPA Training Manual, which is a new addition in 
this revision ICR.
    Thus, CDC is requesting an increase in the annual number of 
respondents from 48 to a maximum of 61 recipients (n=13 more 
respondents), and an increase in the total annual time burden from six 
hours in 2018 to 48 hours (n=42 more hours).
