Proposed Project 

Audience Analysis for Environmental 

Health Issues—New—National Center 

for Environmental Health/Agency for 

Toxic Substances and Disease Registry 

(NCEH/ATSDR), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The health effects associated with 

climate change include injuries and 

fatalities related to severe weather 

events and heat waves, infectious 

diseases related to changes in vector 

biology, water and food contamination, 

and respiratory illness due to increased 

allergen production. Despite these 

potentially devastating public health 

consequences, few in the general public 

connect climate change with health 

effects. In general, the majority of 

Americans associate climate change 

with nonhuman impacts and 

environmental problems rather than 

health effects. They are more likely to be 

concerned about climate change impacts 

on plant and animal extinctions rather 

than on human health. Thus, it is not 

surprising that few in the general public 

are well prepared to deal with climate 

change health effects. The Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is 

interested in developing communication 

materials to increase the public’s 

awareness and knowledge, and prepare 

for the potential health effects 

associated with climate change. To this 

end, focus groups will be conducted 

with members of a local California 

community to understand motivations 

and factors influencing target audience’s 

decision process. There will also be an 

emphasis on the health effects, framing 

devices, and channels that might be 

most effective for disseminating public 

health messages and having them 

motivate the intended audiences. With 

that in hand it will be possible to 

identify the most valuable information 

and optimal strategies for 

communicating with target audiences. 

Focus groups will be conducted with 

the residents of Santa Rosa, California. 

During phase one, three exploratory 

focus groups will be conducted to 

develop messaging strategies. Results 

from the exploratory focus groups will 

be used in the development of 

preliminary messaging strategies and 

draft materials. This material will be 

tested with the target audience during 

the second phase of research. The 

second phase will include three 

materials testing focus groups to 

determine which materials and 

messages are most attractive and 

compelling in terms of educating the 

public about health effects and 

promoting preparedness behaviors. 

Participants will be recruited via 

standard focus group recruitment 

methods. Most will come from an 

existing database (or list) of potential 

participants maintained by the focus 

group facility or recruited through local 

newspapers. There is no cost to 

respondents. 

The total estimated annual burden 

hours are 117.

Proposed Project 

Foreign Quarantine Regulations (42 

CFR 71) (OMB Control No. 0920– 

0134)—Extension—National Center for 

Preparedness, Detection, and Control of 

Infectious Diseases (NCPDCID), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 301 of the Public Health 

Service Act (PHSA) (42 U.S.C. 264) 

authorizes the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services (HHS) to make and 

enforce regulations necessary to prevent 

the introduction, transmission, or 

spread of communicable diseases into 

the United States. Legislation and 

existing regulations governing the 

foreign quarantine activities (42 CFR 71) 

authorize quarantine officers and other 

personnel to inspect and undertake 

necessary control measures with respect 

to conveyances, persons, and shipments 

of animals and etiologic agents entering 

the United States from foreign ports in 

order to protect the public’s health. 

Under the foreign quarantine 

regulations, the master of a ship or 

captain of an airplane entering the 

United States from a foreign port is 

required by public health law to report 

certain illnesses among passengers (42 

CFR 71.21(b)). In addition to the 

aforementioned list of illnesses which 

must be reported to CDC, the master of 

a ship or captain of an airplane must 

also report (1) Hemorrhagic Fever 

Syndrome (persistent fever 

accompanied by abnormal bleeding 

from any site); or (2) acute respiratory 

syndrome (severe cough or severe 

respiratory disease of less than 3 weeks 

in duration); or (3) acute onset of fever

and severe headache, accompanied by 

stiff neck or change in level of 

consciousness. CDC has the authority to 

collect personal health information to 

protect the health of the public under 

the authority of section 301 of the 

Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.). 

This information collection request 

also includes the Passenger Locator 

Information Form. The Passenger 

Locator Information Form is used to 

collect reliable information that assists 

quarantine officers in locating, in a 

timely manner, those passengers and 

crew who are exposed to communicable 

diseases of public health significance 

while traveling on a conveyance. HHS 

delegates authority to CDC to conduct 

quarantine control measures. Currently, 

with the exception of rodent inspections 

and the cruise ship sanitation program, 

inspections are performed only on those 

vessels and aircraft which report illness 

prior to arrival or when illness is 

discovered upon arrival. Other 

inspection agencies assist quarantine 

officers in public health screening of 

persons, pets, and other importations of 

public health significance and make 

referrals to the Public Health Service 

when indicated. These practices and 

procedures assure protection against the 

introduction and spread of 

communicable diseases into the United 

States with a minimum of 

recordkeeping and reporting as well as 

a minimum of interference with trade 

and travel. 

Respondents include airline pilots, 

ships’ captains, importers, and travelers. 

The nature of the quarantine response 

dictates which forms are completed by 

whom. There are no costs to 

respondents except for their time to 

complete the forms. 

The total annualized burden for this 

information collection request is 

225,761 hours.

Proposed Project 

Improving the Quality and Delivery of 

CDC’s Heart Disease and Stroke 

Prevention Programs—New—Division 

for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention 

(DHDSP), National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Heart disease and stroke are among 

the most widespread and costly causes 

of death and disability in the U.S., but 

are also among the most preventable 

health problems. In 2006, CDC created 

the Division of Heart Disease and Stroke 

Prevention (DHDSP) to provide national 

leadership for efforts to reduce the 

burden of disease, disability, and death 

from heart disease and stroke. 

Many heart disease and stroke 

prevention and control activities are 

conducted through DHDSP-funded heart 

disease and stroke prevention programs. 

The DHDSP’s key partners include State 

and local health departments, public 

health organizations, community 

organizations, nonprofit organizations, 

and professional organizations. The 

DHDSP supports partners by conducting 

trainings, providing scientific guidance 

and technical assistance, and producing 

scientific information and supporting 

tools. For example, the DHDSP provides 

training to States on how to implement 

and evaluate their programs and 

provides guidance on how to best apply 

evidence-based practices. In addition 

the DHDSP translates its scientific 

studies into informational products, 

such as on-line reports and trend data. 

Over the next three years, DHDSP 

plans to conduct a series of information 

collections based on a reference set of 

questions that address relevance, quality 

and impact of DHDSP services and 

guidance. A generic clearance is 

requested in order to provide flexibility 

in the content and timing of specific 

information collections. Surveys 

tailored to specific public health 

partners, services, or other 

programmatic initiatives will be 

developed from the reference set of preapproved questions. A small number of 

demographic and descriptive questions 

may be included in specific surveys to 

assess the extent to which perceptions 

and use of DHDSP services vary across 

types of respondents. Whenever 

feasible, information will be collected 

electronically to reduce burden on 

respondents. In addition, information 

may be collected through in-person or 

telephone interviews or focus groups 

when Web-based surveys are
