Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork 

Reduction Act Review 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 

has submitted the information 

collection request titled Community 

Assessment for Public Health 

Emergency Response (CASPER) to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval. CDC 

previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data 

Collection Submitted for Public 

Comment and Recommendations’’ 

notice on May 31, 2017 to obtain 

comments from the public and affected 

agencies. CDC did not receive comments 

related to the previous notice. This 

notice serves to allow an additional 30 

days for public and affected agency 

comments. 

CDC will accept all comments for this 

proposed information collection project. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

that: 

(a) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agencies estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(d) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including, through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses; and 

(e) Assess information collection 

costs. 

To request additional information on 

the proposed project or to obtain a copy 

of the information collection plan and 

instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or 

send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct 

written comments and/or suggestions 

regarding the items contained in this 

notice to the Attention: CDC Desk 

Officer, Office of Management and 

Budget, 725 17th Street NW., 

Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)

within 30 days of notice publication. 

Proposed Project 

Community Assessment for Public 

Health Emergency Response (CASPER) 

(OMB Control Number 0920–1036, 

Expiration 12/31/2017)—Revision— 

National Center for Environmental 

Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The National Center for 

Environmental Health (NCEH) is 

requesting a revision of a currently 

approved generic information collection 

plan to reduce the number of burden 

hours associated with conducting 

Community Assessments for Public 

Health Emergency Response (CASPERs). 

Specifically, NCEH seeks to make the 

following changes: 

• Decrease the number of proposed 

CASPERs conducted annually from 15 

to 6. 

• Decrease the number of total annual 

respondents from 3,200 to 1,284, 

resulting in a burden reduction of 946 

hours. 

• Update respondent costs to reflect 

current wage data from 2015. 

CASPER is an effective public health 

tool designed to quickly provide lowcost, household-based information 

about a community’s needs and health 

status in a simple, easy-to-understand 

format for decision-makers during a 

public health emergency. A CASPER 

can be conducted as part of disaster/ 

emergency response to help inform 

decision-making and resource 

distribution. 

CASPERs comprise household 

interviews (approximately 30-minutes 

long) with an adult (≥18 years of age) 

household member. Households are 

identified using a 2-stage process so that 

they are representative of an entire area. 

Data are collected about the current 

household needs (e.g., water, medicine, 

medical services), aggregated, and 

provided to the state or other 

responding agency. 

Each time a CASPER is conducted, it 

is tailored to the current needs of public 

health and, if appropriate, emergency 

managers. Because these CASPERs are 

requested by states during disasters or 

emergencies, it is important that CDC 

have the ability to gain urgent approval 

for data collection. 

In the past three years, CDC has 

conducted two CASPERs. These 

CASPERs were in support of the 

California Drought in Mariposa County 

and the West Virginia Flooding of 2016.
