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 Sudden Death in the Young 

(SDY). The goal of the SDY Case 

Registry is to improve and standardize 

the ascertainment of deaths so that 

funded jurisdictions can better 

understand the incidence and risk 

factors for sudden death in youth. Per 

CDC’s cooperative agreement, 

respondents agree to compile a defined 

set of SDY information about a defined 

subset of child deaths through the 

jurisdiction/state’s existing CDR 

program. 

DATES: CDC must receive written 

comments on or before November 8, 

2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CDC–2021– 

0091 by any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: 

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–D74, Atlanta, 

Georgia 30329. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and 

Docket Number. CDC will post, without 

change, all relevant comments to 

Regulations.gov. 

Please note: Submit all comments 

through the Federal eRulemaking portal 

(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; 

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.

30/2022)—Extension—National Center 

for Chronic Disease Prevention and 

Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC) 

Background and Brief Description 

Estimates of the annual incidence of 

sudden death in the young (SDY) vary 

broadly due to differences in case 

definitions, inconsistencies in 

classifying cause of death (on death 

certificates), study populations, and 

case ascertainment. To address the need 

for improved estimates of SDY 

incidence, and its epidemiology based 

on uniform cases definitions, CDC, in 

collaboration with NIH’s National Heart, 

Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and 

National Institute of Neurological 

Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), 

implemented the SDY Case Registry in 

2015. To meet the ongoing need to 

produce accurate and uniform 

information, CDC and NIH continued 

the SDY Case Registry in 2018 with 13 

awardees through a CDC-based 

cooperative agreement program (DP18– 

1806). 

CDC awardees agree to compile a 

defined set of SDY information about a 

defined subset of child deaths through 

the jurisdiction/state’s existing CDR 

program. Each of the 13 CDC-funded 

jurisdiction/state awardees will, on 

average, review and enter data on 55 of 

720 cases each year. Additionally, based 

on historical program information, it is 

estimated that approximately half (360) 

of the 720 estimated SDY cases each 

year will be recommended for advanced 

clinical review by a team of three 

medical experts. 

OMB approval is requested for three 

years. The total estimated annual 

burden is 511 hours. There are no costs 

to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project 

National Wastewater Surveillance 

System for COVID–19—New—National 

Center for Emerging and Zoonotic 

Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The COVID–19 pandemic has 

demonstrated the need for timely, 

actionable surveillance data to inform 

prevention and control activities. The 

genetic material of SARS–CoV–2, the 

virus that causes COVID–19, has been 

detected in the feces of infected 

individuals, regardless of their symptom 

status. Therefore, sampling and testing 

wastewater provides a means to obtain 

an assessment of SARS–CoV–2 infection 

trends in the community independent of 

health care seeking, or other clinical 

indicators. 

The Waterborne Disease Prevention 

Branch (WDPB) in the Division of 

Foodborne, Waterborne, and 

Environmental Diseases works to 

prevent domestic and global water, 

sanitation, and hygiene related disease. 

In support of the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID– 

19 response, WDPB established the 

National Wastewater Surveillance 

System (NWSS). NWSS serves as a 

public health tool to provide 

environmental surveillance of SARS– 

CoV–2 infections. Wastewater data have 

provided impactful information to local 

public health authorities, whether to 

confirm trends observed in testing or 

hospitalization rates, or to assert the 

need for increased testing or healthcare 

resources. NWSS has supported
