majority of livestock (96%) and wildlife 

(58%) cases resulted in death. 

Factors that influence the occurrence 

of HABs include water temperature and 

nutrient levels. Warm waters with 

abundant phosphorus and nitrogen 

content (e.g., from urban or agricultural 

run-off) are more likely to form HABs. 

These conditions promote the growth of 

phytoplankton or algae that can produce 

toxins or otherwise cause illness in 

animals, people, and negatively impact 

the local ecology (e.g., reduced oxygen 

and light available for aquatic 

organisms) or economy (e.g., beach 

closures, shellfish bed closures). There 

is evidence that the frequency and 

severity of HABs may be affected by 

climate change, but that the impacts 

might vary due to the causal species, 

bloom location, or other factors. 

In response to HAB-related public 

health events in 2018, Congress 

appropriated funds to CDC to enhance 

HAB exposure activities, including 

surveillance, mitigation, and event 

response efforts. In years since, 

Congress has directed CDC to continue 

efforts to respond to HAB events, 

including OHHABS as a tool for 

national surveillance. OHHABS is a 

centralized data source for public health 

surveillance of HAB events and HABassociated illnesses. It uses a One 

Health approach that takes into 

consideration information from the 

environment, animal cases, and human 

cases. Outbreaks of HAB-associated 

human illnesses may already be 

reported to CDC by state and territorial 

public health agencies within the 

electronic National Outbreak Reporting 

System (NORS) (OMB Control No. 

0920–0004). OHHABS is the national 

database used for public health 

surveillance of HAB events and single 

cases of HAB-associated human or 

animal illness. A standardized datacollection system for HAB events and 

HAB-associated illnesses continues to 

be necessary to quantify and 

characterize HAB-associated illnesses, 

refine HAB event and case definitions, 

and inform One Health prevention 

efforts. 

OHHABS was approved for data 

collection in 2016. The system was 

launched in June 2016 along with a CDC 

HAB-associated illnesses website to 

provide more information for the 

general public about potential illnesses 

and to share resources for HAB 

awareness and OHHABS with public 

health partners. Since 2016, CDC has 

provided technical assistance and 

training to states and territories 

interested in OHHABs and worked with 

contractors to implement new features 

for OHHABS. In 2020, CDC and partners 

published the first summary of 

OHHABS data (years 2016—2018) in the 

Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report 

(MMWR). In 2021, CDC released a 2019 

OHHABS data summary online (https:// 

www.cdc.gov/habs/data/index.html) 

and upgraded the electronic platform to 

improve the user interface and system 

functionality. During this time CDC has 

also continued to coordinate a series of 

conference calls where state and federal 

partners may discuss their surveillance 

activities, needs, and priorities. CDC has 

also had the opportunity to 

communicate with additional HAB 

surveillance stakeholders, such as 

members of the veterinary community, 

state and federal environmental health 

staff, and others to provide information 

about OHHABS reporting through 

webinars, posters, and other 

presentations. 

This activity is authorized by Section 

301 of the Public Health Service Act (42 

U.S.C. 241). CDC requests OMB 

approval for an estimated 76 annual 

burden hours. There is no cost to 

respondents other than their time to 

participate.

Proposed Project 

Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) 

Case Registry (OMB Control No. 0920– 

1092, Exp. 04/30/2022)—Revision— 

National Center for Chronic Disease 

Prevention and Health Promotion 

(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) is 

defined as a sudden and unexpected 

death among an infant, child, or young 

adults (up to age 20), which is not 

explained by homicide, suicide, 

overdose, or the result of an external 

cause that was the only and obvious 

reason for the fatal injury, or terminal 

illnesses. Injury deaths where there may 

have been an initiating natural cause 

(e.g., drowning or death of the driver in 

a motor vehicle accident, which may 

have been triggered by an underlying 

cardiac or neurological condition) are 

also included in the definition. 

SDY deaths are not systematically 

monitored and estimates of the annual 

incidence of SDY vary due to 

differences in definitions, 

inconsistencies in classifying cause, 

variable age and study populations, and 

differing case ascertainment 

methodologies. Because standardized 

information has not been collected on 

the incidence, causes, and risk factors, 

developing evidence-based prevention 

measures has been challenging. 

To address these gaps, CDC, in 

collaboration with the National Heart, 

Lung, and Blood Institute and the 

National Institute of Neurological 

Disorders and Stroke at the National 

Institutes of Health, implemented the 

SDY Case Registry. Standardized data 

collected through the SDY Case Registry 

has been used by the NIH and CDC 

awardees to generate estimates of the 

incidence of SDY; to elucidate risk 

factors; and to develop evidence-based 

prevention strategies for SDY. The SDY 

Registry also creates infrastructure for 

future research about previously 

unknown or unrecognized risk factors 

for, and causes of, these deaths. 

This information collection request is 

to extend OMB approval for the SDY 

Registry. By continuing the prior work 

of the SDY Registry, the information 

collected under this request will allow 

CDC to provide technical assistance to 

awardees so they can improve their state 

or local jurisdiction’s information on 

SDY. This includes two additions to 

their existing Child Death Review (CDR) 

program: (1) Entering SDY information 

from existing data sources (e.g., medical 

records, autopsy reports) used during 

CDR review into the established webbased NCFRP Case Reporting System; 

and (2) convening clinicians with three 

different types of expertise (pediatric 

cardiology; pediatric neurology or 

epileptology; and forensic pathology) to 

conduct advanced clinical reviews of a 

subset of SDY cases to allow for a more 

thorough review of information 

compiled, and to generate additional 

data about the classification of the 

death. The intended result will be data 

that can establish incidence and guide 

program and policy decisions at the 

state/local jurisdiction levels. 

CDC estimates that the participating 

state/local jurisdictions will collect data 

on approximately 720 SDY cases per 

year. For participating state/local 

jurisdictions, burden is estimated for 

reporting required case information. 

Based on historical program 

information, it is estimated that 

approximately half (360) of the 720 

estimated SDY cases each year will 

undergo an advanced clinical review 

and classification of cause by a team of 

three medical experts. 

OMB approval is requested for three 

years. The total estimated annual 

burden is 511 hours which is a decrease 

of 10 hours from the previously 

approved information collection request 

due to a decrease in the number of 

participating states/local jurisdictions 

from 14 to 13. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time.
