3The wage rate for supervisors of office and 

administrative support workers is based on data 

through May 2019 from the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics 

Survey at https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ 

ocwage.htm (released on March 31, 2020). 

4The wage rate for correspondence clerks is 

based on recent data from the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics 

Survey at https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ 

ocwage.htm. 

5For imported products, the labels generally are 

attached in the country where the products are 

manufactured. According to information compiled 

by an industry trade association using data from the 

U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade 

Administration and the U.S. Census Bureau, 

approximately 97.5% of apparel used in the United 

States is imported. With the remaining 2.5% 

attributable to U.S. production at an approximate 

domestic hourly wage of $12 to attach labels, staff 

has calculated a weighted average hourly wage of 

$6.50 per hour attributable to U.S. and foreign labor 

combined. 

6This estimate includes the wage rate for 

correspondence clerks. 

Task Hourly rate Burden hours Labor cost

Staff believes that there are no current 

start-up costs or other capital costs 

associated with the Wool Rules. Because 

the labeling of wool products has been 

an integral part of the manufacturing 

process for decades, manufacturers have 

in place the capital equipment 

necessary to comply with the Rules. 

Based on knowledge of the industry, 

staff believes that much of the 

information required by the Wool Act 

and Rules would be included on the 

product label even absent their 

requirements. Similarly, recordkeeping 

and advertising disclosures are tasks 

performed in the ordinary course of 

business so that covered firms would 

incur no additional capital or other nonlabor costs as a result of the Rules. 

Request for Comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

A. GAO. GAO is an independent, nonpartisan legislative branch agency that 

examines government activities and 

provides analyses, recommendations, 

and other assistance to help Congress in 

making sound oversight, policy, and 

funding decisions. As a legislative 

branch agency, GAO is not subject to the 

privacy and information security laws 

applicable to executive branch agencies, 

such as the Privacy Act of 1974 (Privacy 

Act), Federal Information Security 

Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA), the 

E-Government Act of 2002 (EGovernment Act), and Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) and 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) guidance issued 

under those laws. Nonetheless, it is 

GAO policy to conduct its activities, to 

the maximum extent practicable, in a 

manner consistent with the spirit of the 

laws and guidance generally applicable 

to the executive branch agencies. 

Accordingly, as a matter of policy, GAO 

has established an agency-wide privacy 

program. Notwithstanding the 

similarities between GAO’s privacy 

program and information security laws, 

regulations, or policies applicable to 

executive branch agencies, GAO’s 

application of, or compliance with, 

those laws, regulations, or policies shall 

not be interpreted as controlling legal 

authorities over GAO. 

GAO’s regulations at 4 CFR part 83, 

Privacy Procedures for Personnel 

Records, provide the basis for this 

notice. 

B. Human Capital System of Records. 

The Human Capital System of Records, 

managed by GAO’s Human Capital 

Office, is a series of systems comprised 

of information collected and maintained 

in the course of activities relating to 

hiring and separation management; pay, 

benefits, and performance management; 

and related talent management 

activities. The system of records 

includes GAO-operated systems which 

track employee performance reviews, 

compile GAO employee contact 

information, maintain GAO staff’s 

Federal employment information over 

the course of their career, and record 

time and attendance for GAO 

employees. 

GAO Human Capital Management 

information is also maintained and 

managed in systems of records operated 

by the U.S. Department of Agriculture 

(USDA), the U.S. Department of the 

Treasury (Treasury) (hereafter shared 

service providers), and by contractors 

supporting these agencies. USDA’s 

National Finance Center (NFC) provides 

payroll processing-related services. 

Treasury operates an automated human 

resources system, HRConnect, to 

support human capital management 

activities in Treasury and other Federal 

agencies through cross-servicing 

agreements. 

Authorized GAO employees access 

human capital information maintained 

in GAO systems and in systems 

maintained by GAO’s shared service 

providers and their contractors. 

Information is securely transmitted to 

and from GAO and its shared service 

providers and their contractors as 

necessary to support agreed-upon 

human capital management activities 

(e.g., employment application 

processing, recruiting, hiring, pay, 

promotions, employee awards 

processing, and compiling reports). 

Privacy protections for GAO 

information maintained by contractors 

of shared service providers are provided 

under contracts between the shared 

service providers and their contractors. 

Privacy risks, and steps taken to 

mitigate such risks, associated with the 

use of information systems to collect, 

maintain, and disseminate this 

information have been evaluated in 

privacy impact assessments conducted 

by both GAO and the applicable shared 

service provider. The text of GAO’s 

human capital management system of 

records is set forth below. 

For a description of the protections 

provided by USDA/NFC and Treasury, 

see the following: Treasury Privacy Act 

System of Records Notice, 81 FR 78266;

Proposed Project 

Drug Overdose Response Investigation 

(DORI) Data Collections (OMB Control 

No. 0920–1054, Exp. 03/31/2021)— 

Extension—National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

In 2015, CDC received OMB approval 

(OMB Control No. 0920–1054) for this 

Generic clearance for a three-year period 

to collect information to response to 

urgent requests from state and local 

health authorities to provide 

epidemiological information that allows 

for the selection of interventions to curb 

local epidemics of drug overdose. CDC 

seeks OMB approval for an Extension of 

this Generic clearance for a three-year 

period. 

Drug Overdose Response 

Investigations (DORI) are to be 

conducted in response to urgent 

requests from state and local health 

authorities to provide epidemiological 

information that allows for the selection 

of interventions to curb local epidemics 

of drug overdose. Of particular interest 

is response to increasing trends in, or 

changing characteristics of, overdose 

from prescription drugs (with a special 

interest in opioid analgesics such as 

oxycodone or methadone; 

benzodiazepines such as alprazolam) 

and/or illicit drugs (e.g., heroin). CDC’s 

National Center for Injury Prevention 

and Control (NCIPC) is frequently called 

upon to conduct DORIs at the request of 

state or local health authorities seeking 

support to respond to urgent public 

health problems resulting from drug 

use, misuse, addiction, and overdose. 

Such requests are typically, but not 

always, made through the Epi-Aid 

mechanism; in most investigations, 

CDC’s epidemiological response entails 

rapid and flexible collection of data that 

evolves during the investigation period. 

Generic clearance is requested to 

ensure that timely information is 

collected during a DORI, which allows 

NCIPC to maintain critical mission 

function by working with state and local 

health authorities to protect the public’s 

health. During an unanticipated rise in 

nonfatal or fatal drug overdose where 

the substances responsible for the health 

event need to be identified, drivers and 

risk factors are undetermined, and/or 

subgroups at risk need to be identified, 

immediate action by CDC is necessary to 

minimize or prevent public harm. CDC 

must have the ability to rapidly deploy 

data collection tools to understand the 

scope of the problem and determine 

appropriate action. Procedures for each 

investigation, including specific data 

collection plans, depend on the time 

and resources available, number of 

persons involved, and other 

circumstances unique to the urgent 

conditions at hand. Data are collected 

by epidemiologists, psychologists, 

medical professionals, subject matter 

experts, and biostatisticians. 

Data collected during a DORI are used 

to understand sudden increases in drug 

use and misuse associated with fatal 

and nonfatal overdoses, understand the 

drivers and risk factors associated with 

those trends, and identify the groups 

most affected. This allows CDC to 

effectively advise states on actions that 

could be taken to control the local 

epidemic. During a DORI, data are 

collected once, with the rare need for 

follow-up. The estimated annual burden 

hours are 2000, there are no costs to 

respondents other than their time.
