Proposed Data Collection Submitted 

for Public Comment and 

Recommendations 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice with comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of 

its continuing effort to reduce public 

burden and maximize the utility of 

government information, invites the 

general public and other federal 

agencies the opportunity to comment on 

a proposed and/or continuing 

information collection, as required by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

This notice invites comment on a 

proposed information collection project 

titled Emerging Infections Program 

(EIP). EIP is a population-based 

surveillance activity conducted via 

active, laboratory case finding that is 

used for detecting, identifying, and 

monitoring emerging pathogens. 

DATES: CDC must receive written 

comments on or before April 29, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CDC–2024– 

0013 by either of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information 

Collection Review Office, Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 

Clifton Road NE, MS H21–8, Atlanta, 

Georgia 30329. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and 

Docket Number. CDC will post, without 

change, all relevant comments to 

www.regulations.gov. 

Please note: Submit all comments 

through the Federal eRulemaking portal 

(www.regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to 

the address listed above. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

request more information on the 

proposed project or to obtain a copy of 

the information collection plan and 

instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger,

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;

14502 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 27, 2024 / Notices 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

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; and 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

Emerging Infections Program (EIP) 

(OMB Control No. 0920–0978, Exp. 2/ 

28/2026)—Revision—National Center 

for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious 

Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Emerging Infections Programs 

(EIPs) are population-based centers of 

excellence established through a 

network of state health departments 

collaborating with academic 

institutions; local health departments; 

public health and clinical laboratories; 

infection control professionals; and 

healthcare providers. EIPs assist in 

local, state, and national efforts to 

prevent, control, and monitor the public 

health impact of infectious diseases. 

Activities of the EIPs fall into the 

following general categories: (1) active 

surveillance; (2) applied public health 

epidemiologic and laboratory activities; 

(3) implementation and evaluation of 

pilot prevention/intervention projects; 

and (4) flexible response to public 

health emergencies. Activities of the 

EIPs are designed to: (1) address issues 

that the EIP network is particularly 

suited to investigate; (2) maintain 

sufficient flexibility for emergency 

response and new problems as they 

arise; (3) develop and evaluate public 

health interventions to inform public 

health policy and treatment guidelines; 

(4) incorporate training as a key 

function; and (5) prioritize projects that 

lead directly to the prevention of 

disease. 

A Revision is being submitted to make 

existing collection instruments clearer, 

consolidate forms and to add new 

forms. These forms will allow the EIP to 

better detect, identify, track changes in 

laboratory testing methodology, gather 

information about laboratory utilization 

in the EIP catchment area to ensure that 

all cases are being captured, and survey 

EIP staff to evaluate program quality. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 42,440 annual burden hours. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time.
