KnowledgePanel, a large nationwide 

online panel of American adults (over 

50,000 panelists) with demographic 

characteristics consistent with the adult 

U.S. population. Equal-sized 

subsamples will be drawn for each of 

the following groups: non-Hispanic 

Asian American, Native Hawaiian or 

Other Pacific Islander; non-Hispanic 

Black; Spanish-speaking Hispanic; 

English-speaking Hispanic; nonHispanic Multiracial; and non-Hispanic 

White. Within these six subsamples, we 

will strive to recruit a roughly equal 

split of men and women. The survey 

will be fielded in English and Spanish 

based on respondent-preferred language. 

Estimated Annual Respondent Burden 

Exhibit 1 shows the estimated 

annualized burden hours for survey 

respondents’ time to participate in this 

data collection. All participants will 

complete the Online Survey, which is 

estimated to take 17 minutes per 

response. The total annual burden hours 

are estimated to be 1,416 hours. 

Exhibit 2 shows the estimated 

annualized cost burden associated with 

the respondents’ time to participate in 

this data collection. The cost burden is 

estimated to be $39,662.

has submitted the information 

collection request titled ‘‘Public Health/ 

Public Safety Strategies to Reduce Drug 

Overdose Data Collection’’ to the Office

review and approval. CDC previously 

published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection 

Submitted for Public Comment and 

Recommendations’’ notice on June 09, 

2023 to obtain comments from the 

public and affected agencies. CDC did 

not receive comments 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

Proposed Project 

Public Health/Public Safety Strategies 

to Reduce Drug Overdose Data 

Collection—New—National Center for 

Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The drug overdose epidemic 

continues to pose a serious threat to 

communities across the country. In 

March 2023, the declaration of the 

opioid crisis as a national public health 

emergency was renewed yet again. 

Further, provisional data from the 

National Center for Health Statistics 

confirmed that the number of overdose 

deaths in 2022 was 109,680, which is a 

0.5% increase from 2020. Adding to this 

challenge, drug availability and 

overdose trends are rapidly changing, 

shaped by the westward expansion of 

fentanyl, the eastward expansion of 

methamphetamine, the inclusion of 

adulterants in the drug supply (e.g., 

fentanyl, xylazine), and increasing 

polysubstance-involved overdose. 

Multisector collaboration is critical to 

saving lives and reducing the overdose 

epidemic. Two key sectors in this 

response are public health and public 

safety (PH/PS), as they are both on the 

front lines and both tasked with 

improving community safety and wellbeing. CDC demonstrates strong 

commitment to PH/PS partnerships 

through implementation of several 

national programs. Beginning in 

September 2019, CDC’s Overdose Data 

to Action (OD2A) funds enhanced 

surveillance and prevention of fatal and 

nonfatal opioid overdoses in 47 States 

and 19 localities. In most of these 

jurisdictions, prevention activities are 

carried out in partnership with public 

safety. Since 2017, CDC has supported 

the Overdose Response Strategy (ORS), 

a unique collaboration between public 

health and public safety partners 

created to help local communities 

reduce drug overdose and save lives. 

CDC recently launched the Opioid 

Rapid Response Program, an 

interagency, coordinated Federal effort 

with the HHS Office of Inspector 

General to help mitigate overdose risks 

among patients who lose access to a 

prescriber of opioids due to law 

enforcement actions. As a relatively new 

and increasingly leveraged tool for 

overdose prevention, a greater 

understanding of PH/PS strategies are 

needed to inform these national 

programs. 

The goal of this Generic Clearance 

mechanism (Generic ICR, GenIC) is to 

collect data to improve overdose 

prevention efforts that involve PH/PS 

sectors or address justice-involved 

populations at increased risk of 

overdose. This requires practical 

information and experiential knowledge 

on current implementation of overdose 

prevention efforts by PH/PS. Based on 

previous experience, NCIPC anticipates 

that information will need to be 

collected to: (a) understand the design, 

implementation, and uptake of 

strategies that involve public health and 

safety, or individuals involved in the 

criminal legal system who are at 

increased risk of overdose; (b) identify 

barriers, facilitators, and best practices 

associated with strategy 

implementation; and, (c) identify 

disparities in access to strategies among 

diverse populations or the effectiveness 

of these strategies in reducing overdose. 

This Generic Clearance will allow for 

the gathering of information about PH/ 

PS strategies to identify actions to 

improve responses to the overdose 

crisis. No mechanism currently exists 

that would allow for exploration of 

programs, practices, and capacity among 

PH/PS partnerships to address overdose. 

The assessments conducted and 

information gathered through this 

Generic Clearance will be used to 

rapidly improve the implementation of 

programs enacted through these 

partnerships throughout the lifespan of 

CDC’s national programs. The estimated 

annual burden hours for this collection 

are 2,500. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time.
