Proposed Project
Surveys of State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial (STLT)
Governmental Health Agencies--New--Office of the Director, Office for
State, Tribal Local and Territorial Support (OSTLTS)-(proposed),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC's mission includes addressing the leading causes of disease,
injury, and disability in the United States, including a focus on
tobacco control; improving nutrition, physical activity, and food
safety; reducing healthcare-associated infections; preventing motor
vehicle injuries; preventing teen pregnancy; and preventing HIV. CDC's
priorities for approaching improvements to public health include--
strengthening surveillance, epidemiology, and laboratory science;
better supporting efforts in states and communities; and pursuing
policies that have an impact. As such, CDC's relationship with State,
local, tribal and territorial (STLT) governmental health officials is
key to its emergency preparedness, health promotion and disease
prevention responsibilities.
CDC is requesting a three-year approval for a generic clearance to
assess information related to a myriad of public health issues that
affect STLT health agencies. Information will be used to assess
situational awareness of current public health emergencies, make
decisions that will affect planning, response and recovery activities
of subsequent emergencies, and fill gaps in knowledge that will
strengthen surveillance, epidemiology, and laboratory science; better
supporting efforts in states and communities. CDC will conduct short
surveys, across a range of public health topics, using standard
questionnaire administration approaches (e.g., phone, web, e-mail, and
paper, in person).
CDC estimates that it will conduct up to 50 of queries with State,
territorial or tribal health officials, 12 queries with county health
officials, and 4 of queries with municipal health officials each year.
Ninety percent of queries will be web-based, with remaining in-person
or paper-based surveys. The total annualized burden hours of 40,980 is
based on the following estimates.
