Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

[60Day-21-1092; Docket No. CDC-2021-0091]


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 Sudden Death in the Young (SDY). 
The goal of the SDY Case Registry is to improve and standardize the 
ascertainment of deaths so that funded jurisdictions can better 
understand the incidence and risk factors for sudden death in youth. 
Per CDC's cooperative agreement, respondents agree to compile a defined 
set of SDY information about a defined subset of child deaths through 
the jurisdiction/state's existing CDR program.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before November 8, 2021.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2021-
0091 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: 404-639-7118; Email:

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;
    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

    Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) (OMB Control No. 0920-1092, Exp. 
04/30/2022)--Extension--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC)

Background and Brief Description

    Estimates of the annual incidence of sudden death in the young 
(SDY) vary broadly due to differences in case definitions, 
inconsistencies in classifying cause of death (on death certificates), 
study populations, and case ascertainment. To address the need for 
improved estimates of SDY incidence, and its epidemiology based on 
uniform cases definitions, CDC, in collaboration with NIH's National 
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and National Institute of 
Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), implemented the SDY Case 
Registry in 2015. To meet the ongoing need to produce accurate and 
uniform information, CDC and NIH continued the SDY Case Registry in 
2018 with 13 awardees through a CDC-based cooperative agreement program 
(DP18-1806).
    CDC awardees agree to compile a defined set of SDY information 
about a defined subset of child deaths through the jurisdiction/state's 
existing CDR program. Each of the 13 CDC-funded jurisdiction/state 
awardees will, on average, review and enter data on 55 of 720 cases 
each year. Additionally, based on historical program information, it is 
estimated that approximately half (360) of the 720 estimated SDY cases 
each year will be recommended for advanced clinical review by a team of 
three medical experts.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. The total estimated 
annual burden is 511 hours. There are no costs to respondents other 
than their time.
