Proposed Project 

Information Collections to Advance 

State, Tribal, Local and Territorial 

(STLT) Governmental Agency and 

System Performance, Capacity, and 

Program Delivery (OMB Control No. 

0920–0879, Exp. 3/31/2018)— 

Extension—Office for State, Tribal Local 

and Territorial Support (OSTLTS), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The mission of the Department of 

Health and Human Services is to help 

provide the building blocks that 

Americans need to live healthy, 

successful lives. As part of HHS, CDC’s 

mission is to create the expertise, 

information, and tools that people and 

communities need to protect their 

health—through health promotion, 

prevention of disease, injury and 

disability, and preparedness for new 

health threats. CDC and HHS seek to 

accomplish its mission by collaborating 

with partners throughout the nation and 

the world to: Monitor health, detect and 

investigate health problems, conduct 

research to enhance prevention, develop 

and advocate sound public health 

policies, implement prevention 

strategies, promote healthy behaviors, 

foster safe and healthful environments, 

and provide leadership and training. 

CDC is requesting a three-year 

approval for a generic clearance to 

collect information related to domestic 

public health issues and services that 

affect and/or involve state, tribal, local 

and territorial (STLT) government 

entities. 

The respondent universe is comprised 

of STLT governmental staff or delegates 

acting on behalf of a STLT agency 

involved in the provision of essential 

public health services in the United 

States. Delegate is defined as a 

governmental or non-governmental 

agent (agency, function, office or 

individual) acting for a principal or 

submitted by another to represent or act 

on their behalf. The STLT agency is 

represented by a STLT entity or delegate 

with a task to protect and/or improve 

the public’s health. 

Information will be used to assess 

situational awareness of current public 

health emergencies; make decisions that 

affect planning, response and recovery 

activities of subsequent emergencies; fill 

CDC and HHS gaps in knowledge of 

programs and/or STLT governments that 

will strengthen surveillance, 

epidemiology, and laboratory science; 

improve CDC’s support and technical 

assistance to states and communities. 

CDC and HHS will conduct brief data 

collections, across a range of public 

health topics related to essential public 

health services. 

CDC estimates up to 30 data 

collections with STLT governmental 

staff or delegates, and 10 data 

collections with local/county/city 

governmental staff or delegates will be 

conducted on an annual basis. Ninetyfive percent of these data collections 

will be web-based and five percent 

telephone, in-person, and focus groups. 

The total annualized burden of 54,000 

hours is based on the following 

estimates.

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. The term ‘‘collection of 

information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 

3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and 

includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies 

to publish a 30-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension or 

reinstatement of an existing collection 

of information, before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, CMS is 

publishing this notice that summarizes 

the following proposed collection(s) of

Laboratory Improvement Amendments

specimens for diagnostic or treatment 

purposes. This information is vital to 

the certification process. In this 

revision, the majority of changes were 

minor changes to the form and 

accompanying instructions to facilitate 

the completion and data entry of the 

form. However, we added the collection 

of identifying the non-waived testing to 

be performed to section VIII of the form. 

We anticipate that the change to section 

VIII will take an average of 15 additional 

minutes to complete. Form Number: 

CMS–116 (OMB Control Number: 0938– 

0581); Frequency: Biennially and 

Occasionally; Affected Public: Private 

Sector—Business or other for-profits
