Proposed Project
Surveys of State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial (STLT)
Governmental Agencies (OMB Control No. 0920-0879, Exp. 3/31/2014)--
Revision--Office of the Director, Office for State, Tribal Local and
Territorial Support (OSTLTS), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
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 seeks 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. The STLT agency is represented by state,
tribal, local or territorial governmental 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
gaps in knowledge of programs and/or STLT governments that will
[[Page 10527]]
strengthen surveillance, epidemiology, and laboratory science; improve
CDC's support and technical assistance to states and communities. CDC
will conduct brief data collections, across a range of public health
topics related to essential public health services, using standard
modes of administration (e.g., online, telephone, in-person, focus
groups).
CDC estimates up to 30 data collections with State, territorial or
tribal governmental staff or delegates, and 10 data collections with
local/county/city governmental staff or delegate will be conducted on
an annual basis. Ninety-five percent of these data collections will be
web-based. The total annualized burden of 54,000 hours is based on the
following estimates.
