Proposed Project 

COVID–19 Pandemic Response, 

Laboratory Data Reporting—New— 

National Center for Emerging and 

Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Efforts are underway to ensure that 

laboratory data—including diagnostic 

viral testing data and serologic testing 

data—are comprehensive and readily 

available from laboratories and other 

facilities providing testing, including 

point-of-care (POC) testing sites for the 

public health response to SARS-CoV–2 

and COVID–19. 

Ensuring a rapid and thorough public 

health response to the COVID–19 

pandemic necessitates comprehensive 

laboratory testing data. These data 

contribute to understanding disease 

incidence and trends: Initiating 

epidemiologic case investigations, 

assisting with contact tracing, assessing 

availability and use of testing resources, 

and identifying supply chain issues for 

reagents and other material. Laboratory 

testing data, in conjunction with case 

reports and other data, also provide vital 

guidance for mitigation and control 

activities. The total estimated 

annualized burden is 65,936 hours. 

There are no costs to respondents other 

than their time.

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 

has submitted the information 

collection request titled Medical 

Monitoring Project Facility Survey 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 June 2, 2020 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.

Proposed Project 

Medical Monitoring Project Facility 

Survey—New—National Center for HIV/ 

AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 

Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention requests a one year approval 

for a new information collection, 

‘‘Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) 

Facility Survey.’’ The primary objective 

of the MMP Facility Survey will be to 

conduct a one-time survey of the 

characteristics of HIV care facilities in 

order to collect information on the 

nation’s existing HIV care infrastructure 

and the capacity of facilities to 

implement the strategies of the U.S. 

Ending the HIV Epidemic federal 

initiative. CDC will also use the findings 

to guide national and local HIV 

prevention and care efforts and identify 

gaps as part of the Division of HIV/AIDS 

Prevention’s Strategic Plan. Specifically, 

information is needed about the 

capacity of care facilities to deliver care 

and prevention services, provide HIV 

prevention messaging, partner with 

public health programs, offer services 

for HIV negative partners of HIV 

positive persons, engage and retain 

patients, offer PrEP, medication-assisted 

therapy (MAT), and substance use

treatment/referrals, etc. Information on 

facility location, key populations 

served, and workforce capacity is also 

needed to identify areas in need of 

expanded support to deliver these 

services. There is no other data source 

that comprehensively collects this 

information. 

The participation of respondents is 

voluntary. There is no cost to the 

respondents other than their time. 

Through their participation, 

respondents will help to improve 

programs to prevent HIV infection as 

well as services for those who already 

have HIV. The total estimated 

annualized burden is 618 hours.

Proposed Project 

Assessment of Ill Worker Policies 

Study (OMB Control No. 0920–1227, 

Exp. 5/31/2021)—Revision—National 

Center for Environmental Health 

(NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The CDC is requesting a three-year 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

clearance for a Revision information 

collection request (ICR) for a research 

program focused on identifying the 

environmental causes of foodborne 

illness and improving environmental 

public health practice. This research 

program is conducted by the 

Environmental Health Specialists 

Network (EHS-Net), a collaborative 

project of the CDC, U.S. Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA), U.S. Department 

of Agriculture (USDA), and eight state 

and local public health programs 

(Franklin County, OH; Tennessee; 

Minnesota; Rhode Island; New York; 

New York City, NY; Southern Nevada 

Health District, NV; and Harris County, 

TX). 

This ICR aims to assess whether an 

educational intervention will result in 

either the development or enhancement 

of restaurant ill worker policies. This 

will be accomplished by interviewing 

restaurant managers and observing 

restaurant practices in 320 randomly 

selected and assigned restaurants in the 

EHS-Net catchment areas. There will be 

two or three site visits depending upon 

which group the restaurants are 

assigned to, that is, the intervention or 

the control group. An initial visit will be 

used to observe baseline conditions and 

to provide the intervention only to the 

restaurants selected to receive it. A 

second visit will be used to determine 

if the policies have changed and to 

introduce the intervention to the control 

restaurants (if it is deemed successful), 

and a final follow up visit to the control 

restaurants that received the 

intervention on the second visit (if they 

receive the intervention). Initial success 

for the intervention will be measured by 

whether three or more intervention 

restaurants in each EHS-Net catchment 

area either develop a written ill worker 

management plan (if they did not have 

one at the pre-intervention evaluation) 

or enhanced their policies (e.g., added 

provisions addressing reasons why ill 

workers reported working while ill). 

Although approved in 2018, NCEH 

and its program partners needed to 

prioritize other data collections over 

this study, and then delayed the current 

study due to the COVID–19 pandemic.
