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 American Academy of Pediatrics 
(AAP) Neurodevelopmental Extension for Community Health Outcomes 
(ECHO)program on Children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). 
The purpose of this information collection is to monitor and evaluate 
the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Neurodevelopmental Extension 
for Community Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program on Children with Fetal 
Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). The intent of the project is to 
improve practicing pediatrician capacity for identification and care of 
children with neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly prenatal 
exposure to alcohol, in the medical home.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before June 15, 2021.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2021-
0037 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

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:

[[Page 20161]]

    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;
    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; and
    5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project

    American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Neurodevelopmental Extension 
for Community Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program on Children with Fetal 
Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)--New--National Center on Birth 
Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The purpose of this information collection is to monitor and 
evaluate the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Neurodevelopmental 
Extension for Community Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program on Children with 
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). The intent of the project is 
to improve practicing pediatrician capacity for identification and care 
of children with neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly prenatal 
exposure to alcohol, in the medical home.
    Evaluation information will be used to monitor any incorporation of 
presented materials or suggestions from ECHO sessions into 
participating pediatric practices. Feedback also will inform any needed 
changes in topics, procedures, or other aspects of the program. The 
purpose and use of the session evaluation data will be to assure that 
specific information is conveyed and understood by participants for 
each monthly session, ongoing improvement in identification and 
referral by participating pediatricians, and to inform subsequent 
neurodevelopmental ECHO projects.
    Data will be collected through secure email and will include 
monthly chart reviews, a monthly session evaluation survey, one overall 
program evaluation survey at the end of the project period, and one 
overall debriefing conference call at the end of the project. The 
target population is actively practicing pediatricians. Quantitative 
descriptive analyses are planned for the chart reviews. Qualitive data 
will be obtained from the session and program evaluation surveys, as 
well as the debriefing conference call. CDC requests approval for an 
estimated 496 annualized burden hours.
