indirect cost rate proposal, however it 

does not impose any additional 

reporting requirements. 

FAR 52.242–4, Certification of Final 

Indirect Costs. This clause requires the 

contractor’s final indirect cost rate 

proposal to be certified to establish or 

modify the rates used to reimburse the 

contractor for the costs of performing 

under the contract. The supporting cost 

data are the cost accounting information 

normally prepared by organizations 

under sound management and 

accounting practices. This clause is 

incorporated into all solicitations and 

contracts that provide for establishment 

of final indirect cost rates, but the 

Department of Energy may provide an 

alternate clause for its Management and 

Operating contracts. 

The contracting officer and auditor 

use the proposal and supporting data 

provided under the FAR clauses at 

52.216–7, 52.216–15, and 52.242–4 to 

verify and analyze the indirect costs and 

to determine the final indirect cost rates 

or to prepare the Government 

negotiating position if negotiation of the 

rates is required under the contract 

terms. 

FAR 52.242–5, Payments to Small 

Business Subcontractors. This clause 

requires the prime contractor to selfreport to the contracting officer when 

the prime contractor makes late or 

reduced payments to small business 

subcontractors. The notice shall include 

the reason(s) for making the reduced or 

untimely payment. The contracting 

officer uses the information to record 

the identity of contractors with a history 

of late or reduced payments to small 

business subcontractors in the Federal 

Awardee Performance and Integrity 

Information System. The contracting 

officer considers and evaluates the 

contractor’s written explanation for a 

reduced or an untimely payment to 

determine whether the reduced or 

untimely payment is justified. 

FAR 52.242–13, Bankruptcy. This 

clause requires contractors to notify the 

contracting officer within five days after 

initiating the proceedings relating to 

bankruptcy filing. The contracting 

officer uses the notification received 

under this clause to ensure the 

contractor’s ability to perform its 

government contract.

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 ‘‘Triazoleresistant Aspergillus fumigatus Case 

Report Form’’ 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 December 

21, 2021 to obtain comments from the 

public and affected agencies. CDC did 

not receive 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

Proposed Project 

Characteristics of Patients with 

Environmentally-derived Triazoleresistant Aspergillus fumigatus—New— 

National Center for Emerging and 

Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The environmental mold Aspergillus 

fumigatus is the primary cause of 

invasive aspergillosis and is associated 

with 50% mortality in high-risk 

patients, including stem cell and organ 

transplant recipients. The use of triazole 

antifungals has greatly improved 

survival, however triazole-resistant A. 

fumigatus infections are increasingly 

reported worldwide and are associated 

with increased mortality and treatment 

failure. Of particular concern are 

resistant A. fumigatus isolates carrying 

the TR34/L98H and TR46/Y121F 

genetic resistance markers, which are 

associated with environmental triazole 

fungicide use rather than previous 

patient exposure to antifungals. 

Infections with these triazole-resistant 

strains have become common among 

patients with A. fumigatus infections in 

Europe, Asia, and South America, and 

have been characterized 

epidemiologically. However, U.S. 

reports of isolates carrying TR34/L98H 

or TR46/Y121F markers are limited, and 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 7, 2022 / Notices 34689 

detailed epidemiologic data are critical 

to inform public health response. 

CDC is already receiving Aspergillus 

fumigatus isolates from laboratories 

across the nation, primarily through 

Antibiotic Resistance Laboratory 

Networks (ARLN) and sometimes 

directly from submitters. These isolates 

undergo testing for triazole resistance 

(defined using minimum inhibitory 

concentrations or epidemiologic cutoff 

values set forth by Clinical and 

Laboratory Standards Institute). For 

patients involving triazole-resistant 

isolates, we plan to use a standardized 

case report form (CRF) to collect public 

health surveillance data regarding 

demographics (e.g., age, sex, race/ 

ethnicity, country of residence), 

underlying medical conditions, 

treatments, and outcomes (e.g., vital 

status at 30 days for initial positive 

specimen). The CRF would be filled out 

voluntarily by state and local health 

departments and contains an optional 

supplement at the end involving a brief 

interview (including data on 

occupational and environmental 

exposures) of a patient or their 

representative. The findings would be 

used to describe the risk factors, clinical 

features, and outcomes for patients with 

triazole-resistance Aspergillus 

fumigatus. U.S. data on triazole-resistant 

Aspergillus fumigatus are lacking, 

although this problem constitutes a 

major public health threat. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated eight annual burden hours. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time to participate.

Proposed Project

Study (OMB Control No. 0920–0943, 

Exp. 09/30/2023)—Revision—National 

Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 306 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as 

amended, authorizes that the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 

acting through NCHS, ‘‘shall collect 

statistics on health resources . . . [and] 

utilization of health care, including 

extended care facilities, and other 

institutions.’’ 

NCHS seeks approval to collect data 

for the residential care community 

(RCC) and adult day services center 

(ADSC) survey components of the sixth 

National Post-Acute and Long-Term 

Care Study or NPALS (formerly known 

as the National Study of Long-Term 

Care Providers or NSLTCP). 

The NPALS is designed to: (1) 

broaden NCHS’ ongoing coverage of 

paid, regulated long-term care (LTC) 

providers; (2) merge with existing 

administrative data on LTC providers 

and service users (e.g., Centers for 

Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 

data on inpatient rehabilitation facilities 

and patients, long-term care hospitals 

and patients, nursing homes and 

residents, home health agencies and 

patients, and hospices and patients); (3)
