Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 20, 2017 / Notices 43983 

143A voluntary surrender that is not deemed 

disciplinary by State law or regulation, or is not 

related to any disciplinary process need not be 

reported as discipline provided the individual’s 

Appraiser Registry record is updated to show the 

credential is inactive. 

maintains an effective Program. Generally, 

States are placed on a one-year Review Cycle 

because of non-compliance issues or serious 

areas of concerns that warrant more frequent 

on-site visits. Both two-year and one-year 

Review Cycles include a review of all aspects 

of the State’s Program. 

The ASC may conduct Follow-up Reviews 

and additional monitoring. A Follow-up 

Review focuses only on specific areas 

identified during the previous on-site 

Review. Follow-up Reviews usually occur 

within 6–12 months of the previous Review. 

In addition, as a risk management tool, ASC 

staff identifies State Programs that may have 

a significant impact on the nation’s appraiser 

regulatory system in the event of Title XI 

compliance issues. For States that represent 

a significant percentage of the credentials on 

the Appraiser Registry, ASC staff performs 

annual on-site Priority Contact visits. The 

primary purpose of the Priority Contact visit 

is to review topical issues, evaluate 

regulatory compliance issues, and maintain a 

close working relationship with the State. 

This is not a complete Review of the 

Program. The ASC will also schedule a 

Priority Contact visit for a State when a 

specific concern is identified that requires 

special attention. Additional monitoring may 

be required where a deficiency is identified 

and reports on required or agreed upon 

corrective actions are required monthly or 

quarterly. Additional monitoring may 

include on-site monitoring as well as off-site 

monitoring.

(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 OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology; and (e) estimates of capital 

or start-up costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose or

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information, to search 

data sources, to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Proposed Project 

Effective Communication in Public 

Health Emergencies—Developing 

Community-Centered Tools for People 

with Special Health Care Needs—New— 

Office of Public Health Preparedness 

and Response (OPHPR), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Individuals with access and mobility 

challenges, chronic illness, intellectual 

and developmental disabilities, and 

other communication difficulties 

require targeted messages before, 

during, and after disasters to ensure that 

they fully appreciate the risks to their 

health and safety and can take measures 

to avoid harm. Significant research has 

highlighted the unique information 

needs for at-risk populations in general, 

as well as more specific populations 

such as minority communities, limitedEnglish proficiency communities, and 

persons with physical or 

communication disabilities. However, 

there has been minimal translation of 

this research into practical tools for 

sharing information, nor has the 

research been extended to the families 

of children and youth with special 

heath care needs. 

Research has also shown that families 

and individuals are more likely to 

prepare for emergencies or follow 

health-related emergency directives 

when the information comes from a 

health care professional, particularly 

someone engaged in their care. There is 

very little information about the 

capacity of these trusted sources to 

reach at-risk individuals during 

disasters, or their coordination with 

government risk communication efforts. 

Finally, although social media is used 

by at-risk populations on a daily basis, 

relatively little is known about how 

these populations use social media 

during disasters, as the majority of the 

studies analyzing channels used by atrisk populations were completed before 

the widespread use of social media in 

disasters. 

This study will utilize a multi-tiered, 

mixed methods approach to data 

collection to study the communication 

needs of two target populations during 

disasters: Families with children and 

youth with special health care needs 

(CYSHCN); and individuals with 

Autism Spectrum Disorders, as well as 

families with children who have Autism 

Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Data 

collection will consist of surveys, as
