SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HHS 

Interagency Task Force on 

Antimicrobial Resistance (hereafter 

referred to as the Task Force) was 

created in 1999 to coordinate the 

activities of Federal agencies in 

addressing antimicrobial resistance (AR) 

in recognition of the increasing 

importance of AR as a public health 

threat. The Task Force is co-chaired by 

the Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA), and the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH). The Task 

Force also includes the Agency for 

Healthcare Research and Quality 

(AHRQ), the Centers for Medicare and 

Medicaid Services (CMS), the Health 

Resources and Services Administration 

(HRSA), the HHS Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Preparedness and 

Response (HHS/ASPR), the Department 

of Agriculture (USDA), the Department 

of Defense (DoD), the Department of 

Veterans Affairs (VA), and the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA). 

In 2001, the Task Force developed an 

initial Action Plan, outlining specific 

issues, goals, and actions important for 

addressing the problem of AR. This 

document, entitled, A Public Health 

Action Plan to Combat Antimicrobial 

Resistance, Part I: Domestic Issues, 

reflected a broad-based consensus of 

participating Federal agencies, which 

was reached with individual input from 

state and local health agencies, 

universities, professional societies, 

pharmaceutical companies, healthcare 

delivery organizations, agricultural 

producers, consumer groups, and other 

members of the public. Continued 

collaboration with these partners has 

been vital to achieving successful 

implementation of the Action Plan. 

This draft document, A Public Health 

Action Plan to Combat Antimicrobial 

Resistance, is a revision of the 2001 

interagency action plan. The revised 

Action Plan provides an updated 

blueprint for specific, coordinated 

Federal action to address emerging 

threats in AR. The document covers a 

broad spectrum of AR issues, addressing 

resistance in a wide range of pathogens 

(bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites) 

and settings (human medicine, 

veterinary medicine, agriculture, animal 

production, and others). 

The Action Plan includes action items 

organized into four focus areas: 

Surveillance, Prevention and Control, 

Research, and Product Development. 

The Action Plan contains specific action 

items, projects, and implementation 

steps. Wherever possible, action items 

are populated with specific projects or 

implementation steps to provide greater 

specificity for planned Federal 

activities. The action items, projects, 

and implementation steps do not 

represent an exhaustive list of activities.

Comment Request 

Title: Computerized Support 

Enforcement Systems. 

OMB No.: 0980–0271. 

Description: The information being 

collected is mandated by Section 

454(16) of the Social Security Act which 

provides for the establishment and 

operation by the State agency, in 

accordance with an initial and annually 

updated advance automated data 

processing planning document (APD) 

approved under section 452(d) of the 

title, of a statewide automated data 

processing and information retrieval 

system. The system must meet the 

requirements of section 454A. 

In addition, Section 454A(e)(1) 

requires that States create a State Case 

Registry (SCR) within their statewide 

automated child support systems, to 

include information on IV–D cases and 

non-IV–D orders established or 

modified in the State on or after October 

1, 1998. Section 454A(e)(5) requires 

States to regularly update their cases in 

the SCR. The data being collected for 

the APD are a combination of narrative, 

budgets and schedules which are used 

to provide funding approvals on an 

annual basis and to monitor and oversee 

system development. Child support has 

separated regulations under 45 CFR 

307.15 related to submittal of APDs 

supplemental authority for enhanced 

funding system development and 

substantial penalties for noncompliance with the statutory deadline 

of October 1, 2000. The information 

collection requirements for the 

development and maintenance of child 

support enforcement automated systems 

are addressed in 45 CFR Part 95 and the 

information collection.
