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. CDC previously published a 
``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations'' notice on May 30, 2017 to obtain comments from the 
public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment related to the 
first notice. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 
days for public comments.
    Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are 
encouraged. 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 [email protected]. 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) 395-5806. Provide 
written comments within 30 days of notice publication.

Proposed Project

    National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) (OMB No. 0920-0666), exp. 
11/30/2019--Revision--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic 
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) is a system designed 
to accumulate, exchange, and integrate relevant information and 
resources among private and public stakeholders to support local and 
national efforts to protect patients and promote healthcare safety. 
Specifically, CDC uses the data to

[[Page 43986]]

determine the magnitude of various healthcare-associated adverse events 
and trends in the rates of these events among patients and healthcare 
workers with similar risks. CDC will use the data to detect changes in 
the epidemiology of adverse events resulting from new and current 
medical therapies and changing risks.
    The NHSN currently consists of five components: Patient Safety, 
Healthcare Personnel Safety, Biovigilance, Long-Term Care Facility 
(LTCF), and Dialysis. CDC will release the NHSN ``Outpatient Procedure 
Component'' in 2018. CDC's request for additional user feedback and 
support from outside partners delayed development of this component.
    After receiving user feedback and internal review feedback, CDC 
made changes to six facility surveys. For the annual facility surveys, 
CDC amended, removed, or added questions and response options to fit 
the survey's evolving uses. In addition, CDC and its partners use the 
surveys to help intelligently interpret the other data elements 
reported into NHSN. Currently, the surveys are used to appropriately 
risk adjust the numerator and denominator data entered into NHSN while 
also guiding decisions on future division priorities for prevention.
    Further, two new forms were added to expand NHSN surveillance to 
enhance data collection by Ambulatory Surgical Centers to identify 
areas where prevention of SSIs may be improved. CDC modified an 
additional 14 forms within the Hemovigilance module to streamline data 
collection/entry for adverse reaction events.
    Overall, CDC has made minor revisions to a total of 44 forms within 
the package to clarify and/or update surveillance definitions, increase 
or decrease the number of reporting facilities, and adding 2 new forms. 
The previously approved NHSN information collection package included 70 
individual collection forms; the current revision request includes 72 
forms. The reporting burden will increase by 811,985 hours, for a total 
of 5,922,953 hours.
