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 of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC 
previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public 
Comment and Recommendations'' notice on December 20, 2022, 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

[[Page 19308]]

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. 03/31/2024)--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; Exp. 03/31/2024). The 
goal of this ICR is to build on the CDC's existing childhood lead 
poisoning prevention program. CDC requires that ongoing and new CDC 
Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs (CLPPPs), including the 
FY21 ``Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention and Surveillance of Blood 
Lead Levels in Children'' (CDC-RFA-EH21-2102), complete the ALPA 
annually. This annual information collection will be used to identify 
jurisdictional legal frameworks governing CDC-funded CLPPPs in the 
United States and strategies for implementing childhood lead poisoning 
prevention activities. CDC can use this information to inform guidance, 
resource development, and technical assistance activities in support of 
the ultimate goal, which is eliminating lead exposure 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, including the addition of new answer options 
and questions to understand usage of the updated blood lead reference 
value (BLRV).
    CDC will use one data collection mode, a web survey. A change in 
the mode of collection will not affect the total time burden requested 
as the time per response is the same for either mode, and the time to 
take the survey has remained consistent from 2021 estimates (47 minutes 
per response) despite revisions to the survey. This time estimate per 
response is based on pilot tests of the revised survey among eight 
respondents, and includes the time needed to review the ALPA Training 
Manual.
    In total, the annual number of respondents remains unchanged at 75, 
and the annual time burden requested remains at 59 hours. There are no 
costs to respondents other than their time. The respondents are 
participating in this survey as a program requirement.
