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.

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; 

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 

Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis 

Program Evaluation (OMB Control No. 

0920–0457, Exp. 12/31/2022)— 

Extension—National Center for HIV/ 

AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 

Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC requests an Extension of the 

Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis 

Program Evaluation project, previously 

approved under OMB Control No. 0920– 

0457, for a period of three years. There 

are no revisions to the report forms, data 

definitions, or reporting instructions. 

To ensure the elimination of 

tuberculosis in the United States, CDC 

monitors indicators for key program 

activities, such as finding tuberculosis 

infections in recent contacts of cases 

and in other persons likely to be 

infected, and providing therapy for 

latent tuberculosis infection. In 2000, 

CDC implemented two program 

evaluation reports for annual 

submission: Aggregate report of followup and treatment for contacts of 

tuberculosis cases, and Aggregate report 

of targeted testing and treatment for 

latent tuberculosis infection. The 

respondents for these reports are the 67 

state and local tuberculosis control 

programs receiving federal cooperative 

agreement funding through the CDC 

Division of Tuberculosis Elimination 

(DTBE). These reports emphasize 

treatment outcomes, high-priority target 

populations vulnerable to tuberculosis, 

and electronic report entry and 

submission to CDC through the National 

Tuberculosis Indicators Project (NTIP), a 

secure web-based system for program 

evaluation data. No other federal agency 

collects this type of national 

tuberculosis data, and the aggregate 

report of follow-up and treatment for 

contacts of tuberculosis cases, and 

aggregate report of targeted testing and 

treatment for latent tuberculosis 

infection are the only data source about 

latent tuberculosis infection for 

monitoring national progress toward 

tuberculosis elimination with these 

activities. CDC provides ongoing 

assistance in the preparation and 

utilization of these reports at the local 

and state levels of public health 

jurisdiction. CDC also provides 

respondents with technical support for 

the NTIP software. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 268 annual burden hours. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time to participate.

Proposed Project 

Data collection for fellowship 

programs using CDC’s Fellowship 

Management System (OMB Control No. 

0920–0765, Exp. 3/31/2023)— 

Revision—Center for Surveillance, 

Education, and Laboratory Services 

(CSELS), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Division of Scientific Education 

and Professional Development (DSEPD/ 

CSELS) requests a three-year revision to 

continue the use of the CDC Fellowship 

Management System (FMS) to collect 

data under the approved OMB Control 

Number (0920–0765). The mission of 

DSEPD is to improve health outcomes 

through a competent, sustainable, and 

empowered public health workforce. 

Professionals in public health, 

epidemiology, medicine, economics, 

information science, veterinary 

medicine, nursing, public policy, and 

other related professionals seek 

opportunities, through CDC fellowships, 

to broaden their knowledge and skills, 

and to improve the science and practice 

of public health. CDC fellows are 

assigned to state, tribal, local, and 

territorial public health agencies; federal 

government agencies, including CDC 

and Department of Health and Human 

Services’ (HHS) operational divisions, 

such as Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services; and to 

nongovernmental organizations, 

including academic institutions, tribal 

organizations, and private public health 

organizations. 

CDC uses FMS to collect, process, and 

manage data from nonfederal applicants 

seeking training or public health 

support services through CDC 

fellowships. FMS is used to 

electronically submit fellowship 

applications, submit fellowship host site 

proposals, track completion of 

fellowship activities, and maintain 

fellowship alumni directories online. 

FMS is a flexible and robust electronic 

information system standardized and 

tailored for each CDC fellowship, 

collecting only the minimum amount of 

information needed. The system is 

critical to streamlining data 

management for CDC and reducing 

burden for respondents. FMS is key to 

CDC’s ability to protect the public’s 

health by supporting training 

opportunities that strengthen the public 

health workforce. 

The proposed Revision has two 

purposes: (1) Increase the number of 

likely respondents and (2) change the 

software platform on which FMS 

operates. The increase in likely 

respondents is a result of increased 

funding that will allow DSEPD to 

expand many of the fellowships 

managed through FMS. The change in 

software platform will provide CDC 

with an even more efficient, effective, 

and secure electronic mechanism for 

collecting, processing, and monitoring 

fellowship information. The proposed 

software platform is the Microsoft®

Power Platform® (Microsoft 

Corporation, Cary, Washington). 

Integration of the suite of Microsoft 

tools for data management, analysis, and 

visualization will allow CDC to access
