Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted 
the following information collection request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed 
information collection is published to obtain comments from the public 
and affected agencies.
    Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are 
encouraged. Your comments should address any of the following: (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

Proposed Project

    Data Collection for Evaluation of Education, Communication, and 
Training Activities (OMB No. 0920-0932, expires 05/31/2015)--Revision--
National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of 
Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) is requesting a revision of a 
currently approved generic clearance to conduct evaluation research. 
This will help CDC plan and implement health communication, education, 
and training activities to improve health and prevent the spread of 
disease. These activities include communicating with international 
travelers and other mobile populations, training healthcare providers, 
and educating public health departments and other federal partners.
    The information collection for which the revision is sought is in 
accordance with DGMQ's mission to reduce morbidity and mortality among 
immigrants, refugees, travelers, expatriates, and other globally mobile 
populations, and to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread 
of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States. 
This mission is supported by delegated legal authorities outlined in 
the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264) and in regulations 
that are codified in 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 70 and 
71, and 34.

[[Page 13565]]

    Since receiving initial approval for this generic, CDC has 
conducted five information collections. These information collections 
supported an Evaluation of Adapted Health Education Materials for LEP 
Spanish Speakers and Indigenous Migrants; Evaluation of the TravAlert 
Electronic Messaging System; a project entitled Scan This: 
Effectiveness of Quick Response Codes for Engaging International Panel 
Physicians; and two collections involving CDC's Check and Report Ebola 
programs (CARE and CARE+) (The CARE+ evaluation is still underway as of 
the date of this notice). In order, these projects evaluated materials 
designed for specific audiences to determine if CDC's methods for 
communicating key public health messages were translated appropriately 
for low-English proficiency residents in the United States, were 
effective in reaching travelers in airports, were useful in making 
CDC's immigration medical exam technical instructions more accessible, 
and were helpful in reaching individuals and assessing their knowledge, 
attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors concerning enhanced screening for 
Ebola at U.S. ports of entry and follow-up under active monitoring.
    Approval of this revision of the generic information collection 
will allow DGMQ to continue to collect, in an expedited manner, 
information about the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of key 
audiences (such as refugees, immigrants, migrants, international 
travelers, travel industry partners, healthcare providers, non-profit 
agencies, customs brokers and forwarders, schools, state and local 
health departments) to help improve and inform these activities during 
both routine and emergency public health events. This generic OMB 
clearance will help DGMQ continue to refine these efforts in a timely 
manner, and will be especially valuable for communication activities 
that must occur quickly in response to public health emergencies.
    DGMQ staff will use a variety of data collection methods for this 
proposed project: Interviews, focus groups, surveys, and pre/post-
tests. Depending on the research questions and audiences involved, data 
may be gathered in-person, by telephone, online, or using some 
combination of these formats. Data may be collected in quantitative 
and/or qualitative forms. Numerous audience variables will be assessed 
under the auspices of this generic OMB clearance. These include, but 
are not limited to, knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral 
intentions, practices, behaviors, skills, self-efficacy, and 
information needs and sources. Insights gained from evaluation research 
will assist in the development, refinement, implementation, and 
demonstration of outcomes and impact of communication, education, and 
training activities.
    DGMQ estimates involvement of 37,500 respondents and 17,835 hours 
of burden for evaluation research activities each year. The collected 
information will not impose a cost burden on the respondents beyond 
that associated with their time to provide the required data.
