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 ``Rapid Response Suicide Investigation Data 
Collection'' 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 October 
28, 2022 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. 
There were no comments to the 60-day Federal Register 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

    Rapid Response Suicide Investigation Data Collection (OMB Control 
No. 0920-1243, Exp. 5/31/2023)--Extension--National Center for Injury 
Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC is frequently called upon to respond to urgent requests from 
one or more external partners (e.g., local, State, Territory, and 
Tribal health authorities; other Federal agencies; local and State 
leaders; schools; or other partner organizations) to conduct 
investigations of suicide. Supporting rapid investigations to inform 
the implementation of effective suicide prevention strategies is one of 
the most important ways CDC can serve to protect and promote the health 
of the public.
    Rapid Response Suicide Investigation Data Collections are 
specifically designed to inform the implementation of prevention 
strategies in a state, county, community, or vulnerable population 
where a possible suicide cluster or increasing trend has been observed. 
This Generic Clearance will not be used to conduct research studies or 
to collect data designed to draw conclusions about the United States or 
areas beyond the defined geographic location or vulnerable population 
that is the focus of the investigation. CDC, in collaboration with 
external partners, will identify the respondent universe for each Rapid 
Response Suicide Investigation Data Collection. The respondent universe 
will be determined based on the information needed to understand 
potential suicide clusters, significant increases in suicidal behavior 
and suicide, risk and protective factors, and vulnerable populations, 
in order to inform the implementation of suicide prevention strategies.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,000 annual burden 
hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to 
participate.
