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

[[Page 22834]]

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

    Who's at Risk: From Hazards to Communities--An Approach for 
Operationalizing CDC Guidelines to Determine Risks, and Define, Locate 
and Reach At-Risk Populations in Public Health Emergencies--New--Office 
of Public Health Preparedness and Response (OPHPR), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Risk Assessment, Mapping, and Planning (RAMP) tool is currently 
being developed by CDC for public health and medical emergency planners 
(especially Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Hospital 
Preparedness Program awardees) to assess and quantify risk, identify 
and map at-risk populations, and to determine response objectives for 
hazard-specific public health emergency plans at all jurisdictional 
levels in the United States.
    To assist in developing this tool, key informant interviews/focus 
groups will be conducted with public health and emergency management 
professionals from across the United States. And to understand the 
needs of at-risk populations, an anonymous survey will be conducted at 
Los Angeles County Department of Public Health clinics.
    CDC is proposing an information collection to OMB to obtain subject 
matter expertise and feedback for pilot testing the RAMP tool and 
anonymous demographic information from LA County DPH clinic guests. CDC 
will use the data to develop the RAMP tool.
    Public health and emergency manager respondents in pre-identified 
partner jurisdictions will participate in the interview and focus 
groups.
    Los Angeles Department of Public Health Clinic guests will be 
offered an anonymous survey at the time of service registration.
    All information will be collected on paper surveys and entered into 
a secured database. All paper surveys will be locked in the secure 
offices of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Emergency 
Preparedness and Response Program. All information will be disseminated 
and/or reported in aggregate form only.
    It is anticipated that the focus group/interview and survey data 
collections will begin three months after OMB approval, beginning in 
the fall of 2017 and continuing for the duration of the project 
(through September 25, 2019). OMB approval is being requested for two 
years from the date of approval.
Cost Estimate
    Public Health and Medical Emergency Planner Focus Group 
Questionnaire:
    Information collection will involve approximately 100 surveys at 
approximately $20,000 (costs for convening workshops to engage survey 
respondents). There is no annual reporting or record-keeping burden. It 
is anticipated that participation in focus group questionnaires will 
occur as part (workshop, breakout group sessions) of pre-identified 
emergency preparedness/management meetings, conferences, and/or 
summits, in which participants will already be in attendance or 
participating in. As such, it is anticipated that participation in the 
focus group questionnaires will not result in any additional costs to, 
or burden on the vast majority of participants. For those few 
participants who may see an increased cost or burden on them through 
participation in focus group questionnaires, the proposed costs of 
participation are estimated at: $35.46 for one hour participation in a 
focus group questionnaire. Mean Hourly Wage of Emergency Management 
Directors (occupational code 11-9161): $35.46. (Source: U.S. Department 
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and 
Wages, May 2015).
    LA County Public Health Clinic Guests:
    Information collection will involve approximately 1,500 surveys and 
will be administered by DPH Staff and volunteers and will not require 
any costs to administer. It is anticipated that those individuals 
participating in the Public Health Client Surveys will do so while 
waiting for clinic services in clinic waiting rooms, and as such will 
not require any additional cost or burden to their participation. For 
those few participants who may see an increased cost or burden on them 
through participation in Public Health Client Surveys, the proposed 
costs of participation are estimated at: $0.90 for completing one five 
minute survey. California State Minimum Wage: $10.50 per hour. (Source: 
State of California, Department of Industrial Relations, Schedule for 
California Minimum Wage rate 2017-2023).
    The total estimated burden is 225 hours.
