Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or 
continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. As part of a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) 
issued for the competitive selection of research proposals, this notice 
invites comment on the proposed information collection project titled 
``Applied Research to Address Emerging Public Health Priorities.''

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before August 25, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2017-
0041 by any of the following methods:

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

    Applied Research to Address Emerging Public Health Priorities--
New--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases 
(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    On March 27, 2017, CDC issued a Broad Agency Announcement (FY2017-
OADS-01) available at https://www.fbo.gov/spg/HHS/CDCP/PGOA/FY2017-OADS-01/listing.html. There is potential for standardized information 
collection attached to a limited number of awarded projects. For those 
projects, a 30-day notice will be published in the Federal Register and 
information collection requests will be submitted to OMB for approval. 
This Federal Register notice is intended to broadly inform the public 
of CDC's intent to contract with researchers to carry out a variety of 
different research projects awarded through this announcement.
    For this announcement, CDC has identified the following research 
areas of interest. Interested parties are invited to consider 
innovative approaches to support advanced research and development 
strategies in the following research areas of interest:
    1. New diagnostic, sequencing and metagenomic tools for antibiotic 
detection and improved antibiotic use
    2. International Transmission, colonization, and prevention of 
antibiotic resistance (AR) pathogens
    3. Domestic transmission, colonization, and prevention of 
antibiotic resistance pathogens and Clostridium difficile infections 
(CDI)
    4. Microbiome disruption
    5. Antibiotic resistance pathogens and genes in water systems and 
the environment and their contribution to human infections
    6. Medication safety and antibiotic stewardship
    7. Improving the timeliness, accuracy, and usability of public 
health emergency management, surveillance and survey information data
    Contracts that are awarded based on responses to this BAA are as a 
result of full and open competition and therefore in full compliance 
with the provisions of PL 98-369, ``The Competition in Contracting Act 
of 1984.'' CDC contracts with educational institutions, nonprofit 
organizations, state and local government, and private industry for 
research and development (R&D) in those areas covered in this BAA.
    The public is invited to look at the BAA online for greater detail 
and more specific research areas falling under the seven topics listed 
above.
    Authorizing legislation comes from Section 301 of the Public Health 
Service Act. Responses will be voluntary and it is not expected that 
there will be any

cost to respondents other than the time to participate in information 
collection.
    The total estimated burden for all of the information collections 
is not expected to exceed 1,500 hours (100 hours of burden for a 
maximum of 15 potentially PRA-applicable contracts).
