Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled ``National Healthcare Safety Network'' 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 April 23, 2024 to obtain 
comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received two 
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
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the

proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of 
publication of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find 
this particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 
30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search 
function. Direct written comments and/or suggestions regarding the 
items contained in this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, 
Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 
20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide written comments within 30

Proposed Project

    National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) (OMB Control No. 0920-
0666, Exp. 06/30/2026)--Revision--National Center for Emerging and 
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP), National 
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collects data from healthcare 
facilities in the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) under OMB 
Control Number 0920-0666. NHSN provides facilities, health departments, 
states, regions, and the nation with data necessary to identify problem 
areas, measure the progress of prevention efforts, and ultimately 
eliminate healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) nationwide. NHSN also 
allows healthcare facilities to track blood safety errors and various 
HAI prevention practice methods such as healthcare personnel influenza 
vaccine status and corresponding infection control adherence rates.
    The proposed changes in this new ICR includes revisions made to 74 
approved NHSN data collection tools and 10 new forms, for a total of 84 
forms in this package. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 
4,398,109 annual burden hours. There is no cost to respondents other 
than their time to participate.
