Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information collection request titled "National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Coronavirus (COVID-19) Surveillance in Healthcare Facilities" to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a "Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations" notice on September 12, 2022, to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received two comments related to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for the public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information collection project. 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. Comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information collection by selecting "Currently under 30-day Review-Open for Public Comments" or by using the search function. 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) Coronavirus (COVID-19) Surveillance in Healthcare Facilities (OMB Control No. 0920-1317, Exp. 1/31/2024)-Revision-National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Hospitals are key partners in the U.S. response to COVID-19. The response is locally executed, state managed, and federally supported. At the Federal level, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services COVID-19 Response Function, the White House Coronavirus Response Team, and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) COVID-19 Response work together to support the effective operations of the American healthcare system. This collection initially began at the end of March 2020 through a letter from then Vice President Pence to the nation's 4,700 hospitals, asking them to submit data daily on the number of patients tested for COVID-19, as well as information on bed capacity and requirements for other supplies. ( https://www.cms.gov/files/document/32920-hospital-letter-vice-president-pence.pdf ).
CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) COVID-19 Module (OMB Control No. 0920-1290) was initially approved March 26, 2020 for the collection of hospital COVID-19 data. The NHSN COVID-19 Module also collects COVID-19 data from long-term care facilities and dialysis centers, and was later approved as OMB Control No. 0920-1317. Beginning July 2020, at the request of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, collection of information from hospitals was transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services/Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (HHS/ASPR) and was housed in the TeleTracking portal.
[top] This Revision request is being submitted so that the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) will again assume responsibility for collection of COVID-19 data from hospitals beginning in January 2023. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 4,477,073 annual burden hours.
