(PHEM Tool). The Center for Disease
Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Global
Emergency Management Capacity
Development (GEMCD) team will use
the PHEM Tool to assess the public

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 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,

(EMTAs) will use the PHEM Tool to
guide an in-person interview with
GHSA countries Ministry of Health,
Public Health Emergency Operations
Center (PHEOC) Manager, and optional
additional staff, to characterize the
country’s PHEM program and
capabilities. EMTAs will document
responses in an excel based form that
will be entered into and maintained in
the CDCReady data base. Collected data
will identify strengths and weaknesses,
capabilities, and gaps in PHEM
programs and PHEOCs in GHSA
countries. Findings will guide GEMCD
team program planning initiatives and
determine appropriate technical
assistance (TA) for GHSA countries.
Data will be analyzed to identify the
presence or absence of specific PHEM
and PHEOC requirements, such as
plans, policies, and procedures, etc.
Additional analysis will focus upon the
status of PHEM and PHEOC plans,
policies, and procedures (e.g., date of
publication, relevance). The survey will
be conducted annually to identify
progress and document changes from
one year to the next in terms of PHEM
program and PHEOC capabilities.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. The estimated annualized burden
for this information collection is 72
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.

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.
