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 continuing information collection, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. This notice invites 

comment on a proposed information 

collection project titled State 

Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting 

System (SUDORS). This information 

collection supports drug overdose 

prevention efforts, detects new trends in 

fatal unintentional drug overdoses, and 

assesses the progress of HHS’s initiative 

to reduce opioid abuse. 

DATES: CDC must receive written 

comments on or before June 17, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CDC–2022– 

0050 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; 

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 

State Unintentional Drug Overdose 

Reporting System (SUDORS) (OMB 

Control No. 0920–1128, Exp. 10/31/ 

2023)—Revision—National Center for 

Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

This is a Revision request for the 

currently approved State Unintentional 

Drug Overdose Reporting System 

(SUDORS) (OMB Control No. 0920– 

1128, Exp. Date 10/31/2023). SUDORS 

assists with ongoing surveillance of fatal 

unintentional and undetermined intent 

drug-related overdoses to support 

prevention and response efforts. 

In 2013, there were nearly 44,000 

drug overdose deaths, including nearly 

36,000 unintentional drug overdose 

deaths, in the United States, with more 

people now dying of drug overdoses 

than automobile crashes. A major driver 

of the problem are overdoses related to 

opioids, both opioid pain relievers 

(OPRs) and illicit forms such as heroin. 

In order to address this public health 

problem, the U.S. Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS) has made 

addressing the opioid abuse problem a 

high priority. 

To support targeting of drug overdose 

prevention efforts, detect new trends in 

fatal unintentional drug overdoses, and 

assess the progress of HHS’s initiative to 

reduce opioid abuse and overdoses, the 

State Unintentional Drug Overdose 

Reporting System (SUDORS) generates 

public health surveillance information 

at the national, state, and local levels. 

This information is more detailed, 

useful, and timely than other 

information that is currently available. 

This collection will detect state and 

local community changes in 

unintentional and undetermined intent 

drug-related overdose mortality faster 

and provide in-depth state and local 

(e.g., county) information on risk factors 

for fatal drug overdose deaths that can

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 74 / Monday, April 18, 2022 / Notices 22891 

inform the selection and targeting of 

interventions in all 50 states, the District 

of Columbia and Puerto Rico. This 

information will help develop, inform, 

and assess the progress of drug overdose 

prevention strategies at both the state 

and national levels. Information will 

also improve the identification and 

response to changes in fatal 

unintentional and undetermined intent 

drug-related overdose trends at the 

local, state, and national level. CDC 

obtained OMB approval in 2020 for a 

Revision to make the following changes: 

(1) Expand data collection from the 50 

jurisdictions previously approved to 

include 52 jurisdictions (i.e., all 50 

states, Puerto Rico and the District of 

Columbia), (2) expand data collection 

from its current focus on opioid 

overdose deaths to a broader focus on 

drug overdose deaths, (3) account for 

increasing data collection burden 

related to large increases in drug 

overdose deaths, and (4) update the 

web-based system to improve 

performance, functionality, and 

accessibility, as well as add data 

elements to the State Unintentional 

Drug Overdose Reporting System 

(SUDORS) module to capture more 

detailed information. 

CDC requests a three-year approval for 

an additional Revision request to 

continue collecting SUDORS data. The 

current Revision request has the 

following change: The burden estimate 

has been updated to reflect the increase 

in the number of drug overdose deaths. 

This new burden estimate is higher than 

the previously approved estimate of 

32,838 hours because the previous 

burden estimates were based on the 

number of unintentional and 

undetermined intent drug overdose 

deaths that occurred among all 50 states 

in 2017 (64,998 deaths). This Revision 

request will use the total number of 

unintentional or undetermined intent 

drug overdose deaths in the US from 

2020 (87,302 deaths). The total number 

of unintentional or undetermined intent 

drug overdose deaths per jurisdiction 

was estimated by dividing the total 

number of drug overdose deaths, 87,302 

by the number of participating health 

departments, 51, or approximately 1,711 

deaths per participating health 

department. This created an increase 

from the previously approved burden. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 43,631 annual burden hours. 

There are no costs to respondents other 

than their time to participate.
