Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval. Comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility;

Proposed Project 

Sudden Death in the Young 

Registry—New—National Center for 

Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Every year, infants, children and 

youth die suddenly and unexpectedly 

from previously undiagnosed 

conditions. Little is known about the 

risk factors leading to SDY, although 

underlying genetic conditions 

contribute in some cases. For example, 

the risk of SDY is known to be higher 

for infants and children with heartrelated conditions or neurological 

conditions such as epilepsy. However, 

estimates of the annual incidence of 

Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) vary 

broadly due to differences in 

definitions, inconsistencies in 

classifying cause of death on death 

certificates, differing case ascertainment 

methodologies, and other factors. 

To address this gap in knowledge, the 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), the National Heart, 

Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and 

the National Institute for Neurological 

Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) are 

collaborating with selected states and 

partner organizations to create the 

Sudden Death in the Young Registry 

(SDYr). The SDYr will establish the first 

uniform reporting system for SDY based 

on shared standards for reviewing and 

classifying deaths involving infants and 

children <19 years of age, and the 

systematic participation of individuals 

with expertise in key medical 

specialties. Up to 15 state health 

departments will receive funding from 

CDC to report standardized information 

to a central database for compilation 

and analysis. In addition, each awardee 

will establish an advanced clinical 

review team consisting of a forensic 

pathologist, neurologist, epileptologist, 

and pediatric cardiologist to supplement 

its existing Child Death Review (CDR) 

process. Specialized medical expertise 

is essential to the accurate 

determination of cause of death. 

The SDYr will build on ongoing 

collaborations involving state-based 

child death review teams, CDC, the 

National Institutes of Health (NIH), the 

Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA), and the 

National Center for the Review and 

Prevention of Child Deaths (NCRPCD) at 

the Michigan Public Health Institute 

(MPHI). The MPHI–NCRPCD is a nonprofit organization dedicated to 

preventing child deaths and serious 

injuries. The MPHI–NCRPCD provides 

technical assistance and training on 

death scene investigation, and 

prevention strategies, to partner 

organizations including state and local 

governments. The MPHI–NCRPCD also 

supports a Web-based National Child 

Death Review Case Reporting System 

that states can use on a voluntary basis 

to manage their state-specific CDR data. 

The system is currently used by 43 

states free of charge. Due to variability 

in case definitions and reporting 

procedures, the system does not 

produce national estimates, but serves 

as a vital repository of information to 

facilitate state-based surveillance and 

public health activities. 

Utilizing MPHI–NCRPCD Case 

Reporting System (CRS) infrastructure, 

MPHI and CDC have previously 

collaborated with nine states to 

strengthen case definition and 

surveillance for sudden unexpected 

infant death (SUID) involving infants < 

one year of age. The SDYr will build on 

this collaboration by increasing the 

number of participating states, 

systematically engaging key medical 

experts in the review of deaths of 

children <19 years of age, and requiring 

the collection and reporting of 

standardized data elements. States 

participating in the SDYr will report 

information through a special module 

called the NCRPCD–CRS–SDY Module. 

This information collection procedure 

was selected due to its familiarity to the 

majority of states, MPHI’s successful 

collaborations with multiple partners, 

and shared interest in developing and 

promulgating best practices for the 

identification, classification, and 

prevention of SDY. 

De-identified information collected 

through the SDYr will be used to 

generate estimates of the prevalence of 

SDY due to cardiac and neurologic 

conditions; to elucidate risk factors; and 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

65218 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 212 / Monday, November 3, 2014 / Notices 

to develop evidence-based prevention 

strategies for SDY. The SDYr will also 

create the infrastructure for future 

expanded research. CDC is authorized to 

collect this information by Section 241 

of the Public Health Service Act [42 

U.S.C. 241]. 

CDC estimates that the participating 

states will collect data on approximately 

1,000 SDY cases per year (20–150 per 

state, with an average of 67 per state). 

No information will be collected 

directly from family members of the 

deceased. CDC estimates that each 

specialist on the advanced clinical 

review team will devote 15 minutes to 

the review and completion of the 

autopsy check list and other records 

associated with each death reported 

through the SDYr. For participating 

state health departments, the estimated 

burden for entering each case into the 

case reporting system is 30 minutes. 

OMB approval is requested for three 

years. Reporting is required for 

cooperative agreement awardees. There 

are no costs to respondents other than 

their time.

Proposed Project 

EEOICPA Dose Reconstruction 

Interviews and Forms (OMB No. 0920– 

0530, expires 02/28/2015)—Extension— 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (DHHS). 

Background and Brief Description 

On October 30, 2000, the Energy 

Employees Occupational Illness 

Compensation Program Act of 2000 (42 

U.S.C. 7384–7385) was enacted. This 

Act established a federal compensation 

program for employees of the 

Department of Energy (DOE) and certain 

of its contractors, subcontractors and 

vendors, who have suffered cancers and 

other designated illnesses as a result of 

exposures sustained in the production 

and testing of nuclear weapons. 

Executive Order 13179, issued on 

December 7, 2000, delegated authorities 

assigned to ‘‘the President’’ under the 

Act to the Departments of Labor (DOL), 

Health and Human Services, Energy and 

Justice. The Department of Health and 

Human Services (DHHS) was delegated 

the responsibility of establishing 

methods for estimating radiation doses 

received by eligible claimants with 

cancer applying for compensation. 

NIOSH is applying the following 

methods to estimate the radiation doses 

of individuals applying for 

compensation. 

In performance of its dose 

reconstruction responsibilities, under 

the Act, NIOSH is providing voluntary 

interview opportunities to claimants (or 

their survivors) individually and 

providing them with the opportunity to 

assist NIOSH in documenting the work 

history of the employee by 

characterizing the actual work tasks 

performed. In addition, NIOSH and the 

claimant may identify incidents that
