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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;

4. 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 submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Environmental Public Health
Tracking Network (Tracking Network)
(OMB Control No. 0920–1175, Exp. 07/
31/2023)—Revision—National Center
for Environmental Health (NCEH),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC is submitting a three-year
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
revision information collection request
(ICR) for Environmental Public Health
Tracking Network (Tracking Network)
(OMB Control No. 0920–1175,
Expiration 07/31/2023). This
information collection is sponsored by
the Environmental Public Health
Tracking Section (Tracking Section),
Division of Environmental Health
Science and Practice (DEHSP), National
Center for Environmental Health
(NCEH) at CDC.
In September 2000, the Pew
Environmental Health Commission
issued a report entitled America’s
Environmental Health Gap: Why the
Country Needs a Nationwide Health
Tracking Network. The Commission
documented a critical gap in knowledge
that hinders our national efforts to
reduce or eliminate diseases that might
be prevented by better managing
environmental factors due largely to the
fact that existing environmental health
systems were inadequate and
fragmented. They described a lack of
data for the leading causes of mortality
and morbidity, a lack of data on
exposure to hazards, a lack of
environmental data with applicability to
public health, and barriers to integrating
and linking existing data. To address
this critical gap, the Commission
recommended a ‘‘Nationwide Health

purposes and stored in separate state
and local systems are now available in
a nationally standardized format
allowing programs to begin bridging the
gap between health and the
environment.
CDC is requesting approval for an
increase of seven additional annual
respondents from the 30 approved
under the previous ICR and five-year
NOFO (CDC–RFA–EH17–1702). In
spring of 2022, under the new five-year
NOFO (CDC–RFA–EH22–2202), the
CDC’s Tracking Program funded 33 state
and local public health programs
(funded SLHD). CDC is now requesting
approval for up to 37 annual
respondents. This number reflects the
current 33 SLHD respondents plus four
to allow for future funding of new SLHD
or to collect voluntary responses from
unfunded SLHD.
Data from recipients or other SLHD
are submitted annually following
standardized procedures. Tracking
network data submitted annually by
recipients and other SLHD to the
Tracking Program include seven
datasets and the metadata form,
specifically: (1) birth defects prevalence;
(2) childhood blood lead levels; (3)
drinking water monitoring; (4)
emergency department visits; (5)
hospitalizations; (6) radon testing; (7)
biomonitoring; and (8) metadata. The
Tracking Program will begin using
Research Electronic Data Capture
(REDCap) for its Electronic Data Capture
System (EDCS) needs, which is an easyto-use, free software tool useful for
programmatic deliverable management
and data capture. Using an EDCS
significantly reduces the burden by
optimizing the data capture method to
eliminate the need for personnel to
complete manual data cleaning and
organization before using data for
analysis and evaluation upon
submission.
CDC is requesting OMB approval for
a decrease in the annualized number of
responses from 628 to 599 and the
annualized time burden from 21,860 to
14,041 hours. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

Tracking Network’’ for disease and
exposures. In response to the report and
this critical gap, Congress appropriated
funds in the fiscal year 2002 budget for
the CDC to establish the National
Environmental Public Health Tracking
Program (Tracking Program) and
Network and has appropriated funds
each year thereafter to continue this
effort.
The Tracking Program includes State
and Local Health Departments (SLHD)
which collaborate to: (1) build and
maintain the Tracking Network; (2)
advance the practice and science of
environmental public health tracking;
(3) communicate information to guide
environmental health policies and
actions; (4) enhance tracking workforce
and infrastructure; and (5) foster
collaborations between health and
environmental programs. In spring of
2022, under Notice of Funding
Opportunity CDC–RFA–EH22–2202, the
CDC’s Tracking Program funded 33 state
and local public health programs
(funded SLHDs). These recipients were
selected through a competitive objective
review process and are managed as CDC
cooperative agreements. Awards are for
five years and are renewed through an
Annual Performance Report (APR)/
Continuation Application. The Tracking
Program collects data from recipients
about their activities and progress for
the purposes of program evaluation and
monitoring (hereafter referenced as
program data).
Environmental public health tracking
is the ongoing collection, integration,
analysis, and dissemination of health,
exposure, and hazard data (hereinafter
referenced as Tracking Network data) to
inform public health actions that protect
the population from harm resulting from
exposure to environmental
contaminants. The Tracking Network
provides data from existing health,
exposure, and hazard surveillance
systems and supports ongoing efforts
within the public health and
environmental sectors to improve data
collection, accessibility, and
dissemination as well as analytic and
response capacity. Data that were
previously collected for different
