Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 239 / Friday, December 11, 2020 / Notices 80103 

Total Estimated Number of 

Responses: 387,967. 

Average Time per Response: 1 hour. 

Total Annual Time Burden: 387,967. 

The public reporting burden for this 

collection of information consists of a 

representation to identify whether an 

offeror uses covered 

telecommunications equipment or 

services for each offer as required by 

FAR 52.204–26 and 52.204–24, 

information required for a waiver from 

the prohibition in FAR 52.204–25, and 

reports of identified use of covered 

telecommunications equipment or 

services as required by FAR 52.204–25. 

The representation at FAR 52.204–24 

is estimated to average 3 hours per 

response to review the prohibitions, 

research the source of the product or 

service, and complete the additional 

detailed disclosure, if applicable. 

Reports required by FAR 52.204–25 are 

estimated to average 3 hours per 

response, including the time for 

reviewing definitions, searching existing 

data sources, gathering and maintaining 

the data needed, and completing and 

reviewing the report. 

If the Government seeks a waiver from 

the prohibition, the offeror will be 

required to provide a full and complete 

laydown of the presence of covered 

telecommunications or video 

surveillance equipment or services in 

the entity’s supply chain and a phaseout plan to eliminate such covered 

telecommunications equipment or 

services from the offeror’s systems. 

There is no way to estimate the total 

number of waivers at this time. For the 

purposes of complying with the PRA 

analysis, DoD, GSA, and NASA estimate 

20,000 waivers; however there is no 

data for the basis of this estimate. This 

estimate may be higher or lower once 

the rule is in effect. 

The representation at FAR 52.204–26 

must be completed by each offeror at 

least annually. This provision requires 

an offeror to represent whether it ‘‘does’’ 

or ‘‘does not’’ use covered 

telecommunications equipment or 

services, or any equipment, system, or 

service that uses covered 

telecommunications equipment or 

services. The representation at FAR 

52.204–26 is estimated to average 1 hour 

per response to review and complete the 

representation. 

D. Public Comments 

The first interim rule to implement 

Section 889(a)(1)(B) was published in 

the Federal Register at 85 FR 42665 on 

July 14, 2020 and included the 

information collection for the updates to 

FAR at 52.204–24 and 52.204–25. The 

request for public comment (60-day 

notice) on that information collection 

was published separately at 85 FR 

50026 on August 17, 2020. 

Subsequently, a second interim rule was 

published at 85 FR 53126 on August 27, 

2020 that added an information 

collection requirement for the provision 

at FAR 52.204–26 and included a 

request for public comment (60-day 

notice) on the revised information 

collection. 

A total of four comments were 

received on the 60-day notice published 

on August 17th, and no comments were 

received on the revised information 

collection in response to the second 

interim rule. The comments did not 

address Paperwork Reduction Act 

issues. None of the commenters 

expressed an opinion on whether these 

collections of information are needed; 

whether the estimated number of 

burden hours is accurate; or ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information. We have not changed the 

estimate of the burden in the rule.

Substances and Disease Registry 

(ATSDR). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Agency for Toxic Substances and 

Disease Registry (ATSDR) is seeking a

three-year Paperwork Reduction Act 

clearance for this reinstatement with 

change information collection request 

(ICR) titled the ‘‘ATSDR 

Communication Activities Survey 

(ACAS)’’ (OMB Control No. 0923–0055, 

expiration date 06/30/2020). 

ATSDR serves the public through 

responsive public health actions to 

promote healthy and safe environments 

and to prevent harmful exposures. The 

agency aims to work effectively with 

communities in proximity to hazardous 

waste sites by listening to and 

understanding their health concerns and 

seeking their guidance on where, when, 

and how to take public health actions. 

Community members are key 

participants in the agency’s public 

health assessment process and should 

be actively involved in decisions that 

impact their community. Thus, agency 

goals for this ICR are to continue to 

ascertain the effectiveness of, the 

differences in, and the consistency of 

the delivery of ATSDR activities and 

respondent perceptions across sites and 

over time. ATSDR will use the ACAS to: 

(1) Determine how effectively it’s site 

teams engage community members; (2) 

discover how well ATSDR provides 

effective, clear, and consistent 

communication and information on how 

to promote healthy and safe 

environments; (3) understand whether 

the agency’s activities are helping the 

communities address environmental 

issues; and (4) improve ATSDR’s 

activities to make a greater impact 

within the communities served. 

Over the next three years, ATSDR will 

continue to conduct the ACAS at 

communities where ATSDR and state or 

local agencies have implemented site 

activities to address environmental 

issues. For each engaged community, 

the ACAS will be used to assess a set 

of effectiveness indicators for ATSDR 

site-specific activities about the 

respondents’ involvement, knowledge, 

satisfaction, observations, and opinions 

about ATSDR’s community engagement 

and educational outreach efforts to 

inform communities. The indicators 

will measure ATSDR effectiveness in 

the following respondent areas: (1) 

Their involvement with the site 

activities; (2) how they received, and 

prefer to receive, ATSDR information; 

(3) their knowledge and understanding 

of ATSDR site activities and how to 

reduce hazardous exposures; (4) their 

observations and opinions of ATSDR’s 

role in community preparedness; (5) 

their self-evaluation on their risk of 

exposure to possible environmental 

hazards; (6) their demographic profile; 

(7) their environmental concerns; and 

(8) any additional feedback. 

ATSDR has assessed its recent uses of 

the ACAS and proposes several changes 

to increase the utility and efficiency of 

this survey. During 2018, 125 surveys 

were collected from seven sites (62% 

paper/38% online). ATSDR proposes to 

eliminate telephone surveys, given that 

none were requested. Thus, the 

estimated time burden and number of 

respondents for the ACAS has been 

reapportioned between hardcopy and 

online collections. ATSDR would like to 

remove one question and add three 

additional questions on the ACAS. As 

an additional change, ATSDR will no 

longer seek PRA clearance to provide 

incentives for community members who 

respond to the ACAS. 

In addition, ATSDR would like to 

pilot using text messaging as a way of 

collecting data quickly; thus, ATSDR 

proposes to conduct a highly 

abbreviated three-question form of the 

survey via SMS text messaging using 

‘‘Poll Everywhere’’ software. 

Respondents, using their own cell 

phones, will text their answers to a 

number generated by the software. 

ATSDR does not propose to offer 

incentives for those who respond to the 

SMS Text Survey. 

ATSDR anticipates that 

approximately six to seven sites will be 

engaged for feedback per year (or about 

20 sites over the next three years). Each 

year, ATSDR will recruit approximately 

367 individuals, aged 18 and older, to 

participate in the ACAS or the 

abbreviated SMS Text Survey where 

ATSDR is holding public community 

meetings. Therefore, respondents will 

include approximately 52 to 61 

community members and agency 

stakeholders per meeting (6 to 7 

meetings per year). The community 

members may include, but are not 

limited to, the general public, 

community leaders, faith-based leaders, 

and business leaders. The agency 

stakeholders may include, but are not 

limited to, state and local environmental 

health department employees, such as 

environmental health assessors, 

toxicologists, and departmental officials. 

The mix of respondents will be 

approximately 75% community 

members (n=275 per year) and 25% 

agency stakeholders (n=92 per year). 

For meetings where the ACAS is 

offered, trained ATSDR staff will have a 

table set up at the entrance of the 

community meeting where community 

meeting attendees will pick up a fact 

sheet which explains what ATSDR does, 

and the purpose of ATSDR’s site 

activities and the two different survey 

options. At the end of these ATSDR 

public community meetings, there will 

be an announcement to ask interested 

attendees to take the ACAS. All 

interested attendees will sign in (n=167) 

and provide their preferred mode for 

taking the ACAS (in-person or online). 

The ACAS will preferably be selfadministered right after the public 

community meetings. If this is not a 

convenient time for the respondent, the 

ACAS may be completed online. When 

offered, we estimate that most 

respondents will choose the selfadministered ACAS (n=103) and fewer 

will choose the online ACAS (n=64). 

For purposes of burden estimation, 125 

(75%) of the respondents will be 

community members and 42 will be 

agency stakeholders (25%). 

We will offer the abbreviated SMS 

Text Survey at selected sites where the 

number of meeting attendees is large. 

Sign-in for this mode of collection will 

not be required. For purposes of burden 

estimation, ATSDR anticipates that an 

additional 200 respondents will consent 

to this abbreviated SMS Text Survey 

each year; we have apportioned the 

respondent type as applied to the ACAS 

(150 community members and 50 

agency stakeholders). 

ATSDR is requesting an increase in 

the annual number of responses from 

334 in 2017 to 534 in 2020, and an 

increase in the annual time burden from 

49 hours in 2017 to 58 hours in 2020. 

These increases are based on the 

addition of the pilot SMS Text Survey. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time.

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; and 

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. 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

Evaluation of the Overdose Data to 

Action Technical Assistance Hub— 

New—National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Division of Overdose Prevention 

(DOP), at Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC) requests a threeyear OMB approval to support the 

evaluation of technical assistance (TA) 

provided for the Overdose Data to 

Action (OD2A) program. OD2A is a 

cooperative agreement (CDC–RFA– 

CE19–1904) funded in 2019 to focus on 

comprehensive and interdisciplinary 

opioid overdose prevention efforts in 47 

state health departments, 16 localities, 

Puerto Rico, Washington DC, and the 

North Mariana Islands. This program 

consists of two required components– a 

surveillance component and a 

prevention component. OD2A recipients 

implement a combination of activities 

across ten strategies within these 

components in order to gain access to 

high quality, complete, and timelier 

data on opioid prescribing and 

overdoses and to use those data to 

inform prevention and response efforts 

in their jurisdictions. 

Training and technical assistance 

(TA) is essential to building knowledge 

and strengthening the capacity of 

recipients to implement and evaluate 

OD2A program strategies. CDC will 

develop and deploy a TA hub (hereafter 

referred to as the OD2A TA Center) to 

deliver comprehensive technical 

assistance and training to support the
