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 ``Food safety knowledge, attitude, and 
practices survey of correctional workers'' 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 August 7, 2023 to obtain comments from the 
public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment 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

Proposed Project

    Food safety knowledge, attitude, and practices survey of 
correctional workers--New--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic 
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In 2017, an analysis of Foodborne Disease Outbreak Surveillance 
System (FDOSS) epidemiology data demonstrated a disproportionately high 
burden of foodborne outbreaks and outbreak-associated illnesses in 
correctional settings compared to other settings (Marlow et al., Am J 
Public Health 2017). The CDC is developing training programs to reduce 
foodborne illness in correctional facilities. However, CDC has little 
understanding of current training and overall food safety culture among 
individuals working in correctional settings. This survey will allow 
for the collection of baseline knowledge, attitudes, and practices 
(KAP) of correctional staff working in a variety of U.S. correctional 
facilities (including federal, state, tribal, local and private 
facilities). The survey will assess overall food infrastructure, food 
safety training, and the receptiveness of correctional staff to being a 
part of food safety at their facilities. The plan will be to repeat the 
survey two years later to support interim evaluation of CDC programs.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 2,500 annual burden 
hours to conduct a KAP survey of correctional workers. There is no cost 
to respondents other than their time to participate.
