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. 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 

data collection as described below. 

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; (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 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop, 

acquire, install and utilize technology 

and systems for the purpose of 

collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

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 

Congenital Heart Survey To Recognize 

Outcomes, Needs, and well-being (CH 

STRONG) (OMB Control Number: 0920– 

1122, Expiration 07/31/2017)— 

Reinstatement with change—National 

Center on Birth Defects and 

Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are 

the most common type of structural 

birth defects, affecting approximately 1 

in 110 live-born children. In prior 

decades, many CHDs were considered 

fatal during infancy or childhood, but 

with tremendous advances in pediatric 

cardiology and cardiac surgery, at least 

85% of patients now survive to 

adulthood and there are approximately 

1.5 million adults with CHD living in 

the United States. 

With vast declines in mortality from 

pediatric heart disease over the past 30 

years, it is vital to evaluate long-term 

outcomes and quality of life issues for 

adults with CHD. However, U.S. data on 

long-term outcomes, quality of life 

issues, and comorbidities of adults born 

with CHD are lacking. U.S. data is 

needed to provide insight into the 

public health questions that remain for 

this population and to develop services 

and allocate resources to improve longterm health and wellbeing. 

The initial request for this project was 

one year, but there was a delay in 

recruitment that results in a change in 

the recruitment process. Therefore, an 

additional 24 months is being requested. 

The three sites decided to conduct more 

intensive and time-consuming tracking 

and tracing to identify more accurate 

contact information for all eligible 

individuals. In addition to more 

intensive tracking and tracing, the sites 

decided to send recruitment materials in 

batches rather than all at once. This 

ensured that problems with the 

recruitment process were caught 

immediately and could be modified in 

subsequent rounds of recruitment. Due 

to these delays and changes in 

recruitment process, CH STRONG data 

collection is expected to last an 

additional 24 months and conclude two 

years after receiving an extension from 

OMB.

For this project, we will use data from 

U.S. state birth defect surveillance 

systems to identify a population-based 

sample of individuals 18 to 45 years of 

age born with CHD. We will then use an 

automated process of searching state 

databases and online search engines, as 

well as have individuals perform more 

time-intensive online searches to find 

current addresses for those eligible 

participants and mail surveys to them 

inquiring about their barriers to health 

care, quality of life, social and 

educational outcomes, and transition of 

care from childhood to adulthood. The 

information collected from this 

population-based survey will be used to 

inform current knowledge, allocate 

resources, develop services, and, 

ultimately, improve long-term health of 

adults born with CHD. 

We estimate sending a survey to 4,183 

individuals with CHD over a 2-year 

period, and receiving completed surveys 

from 2,928 individuals (70%). The 

survey takes approximately 20 minutes 

to complete. The contact information 

form takes approximately two minutes 

to complete. There are no costs to 

participants other than their time. The 

total estimated annual burden hours are 

711.

Title: Administration for Children & 

Families (ACF) Electronic Case 

Management System (ECMRS). 

OMB No.: Revision of 0970–0461. 

Description: The recent climatic 

events of Hurricane Harvey and 

Hurricane Irma have created 

catastrophic disasters in Texas, 

Louisiana, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin 

Islands, and Florida. President Trump 

has declared these climatic events as 

major disaster declarations. FEMA is 

providing assistances to these states and 

territories under declaration numbers 

DR–4332 & DR–4337. 

There are looming public health 

issues related to flooding, and especially 

among at risk populations. Risks 

include contracting water-borne and 

vector-borne diseases, substance abuse, 

and mental health concerns, including 

PTSD, depression, anxiety, and 

homelessness. 

Therefore, it is essential for the 

mission of ACF to activate the 

Immediate Disaster Case Management 

(IDCM) Electronic Case Management 

Record System (ECMRS). The ECMRS 

will be used to collect and manage 

information from the disaster affected 

clients. This information includes 

demographics, disaster caused unmet 

needs, and referrals provided. The 

information collected is critical to 

develop a recovery plan for each 

survivor. 

Respondents: Clients.

applicable supporting documentation, 

may be obtained by calling the
