AGENCY:

The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public

government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a continuing information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on a proposed information

Harmful Algal Bloom System
(OHHABS). This data collection is
designed to support the understanding
and prevention of Health Harmful Algal
Blooms (HAB) and HAB-associated
illnesses.

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,
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,

Proposed Project
One Health Harmful Algal Bloom
System (OHHABS) (OMB Control No.
0920–1105, Exp. 11/30/2025)—
Revision—National Center for Emerging
and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are the
rapid growth of algae or cyanobacteria
(also called blue-green algae) that can
cause harm to people, animals, or the
local ecology. Algal toxins from harmful
algal blooms (HABs) include some of
the most potent natural chemicals; these
toxins can contaminate surface water
used for recreation and drinking, as well
as food sources. HABs pose a threat to
both humans and animals. Human and
animal illnesses from exposures to
HABs in fresh and marine waters have
been documented in the United States.
Animal illness may be an indicator of
bloom toxicity; thus, it is necessary to
provide a One Health approach for
reporting HAB-associated illnesses and
events.
OHHABS was approved for data
collection in 2016. The system was
launched in June 2016 along with a CDC
HAB-associated illnesses website to
provide more information for the
general public about potential illnesses
and to share resources for HAB
awareness and OHHABS with public
health partners. Since 2016, CDC has
provided technical assistance and
training to states and territories
interested in OHHABs and worked with
contractors to implement new features
for OHHABS.
CDC estimates the annualized burden
hours based on historical data of the
actual number of respondents to
OHHABS. Specifically, CDC estimates
300 annual environmental reports, 90
human reports, and 130 animal reports,
by taking the average number of reports
submitted to OHHABS during 2018–
2022. CDC had six employees use mock

scenarios to complete the forms and
then document time to complete the
form in order to calculate burden time
averages: the environmental form
averaged 10 minutes, the human form

eight minutes, and the animal form five
minutes. Actual response times may
vary based on the number of cases
associated with an event. Based on these
figures, the total estimated annualized

burden is 73 hours, and there is no cost
to respondents other than their time to
participate.

a final rule; advice on the scientific
validity and quality of dose estimation
and reconstruction efforts being
performed for purposes of the
compensation program, and advice on
petitions to add classes of workers to the
Special Exposure Cohort (SEC). In
December 2000, the President delegated
responsibility for funding, staffing, and
operating the Advisory Board to HHS,
which subsequently delegated this
authority to the CDC. NIOSH
implements this responsibility for CDC.
The charter was issued on August 3,
2001, renewed at appropriate intervals,
and rechartered under Executive Order
13179 on March 22, 2024. Unless
continued by the President the Board
will terminate on September 30, 2025,
consistent with E.O. 14109 of September
29, 2023.
Purpose: This Advisory Board is
charged with (a) providing advice to the
Secretary, HHS, on the development of
guidelines under Executive Order
13179; (b) providing advice to the
Secretary, HHS, on the scientific
validity and quality of dose
reconstruction efforts performed for this
program; and (c) upon request by the
Secretary, HHS, advising the Secretary
on whether there is a class of employees
at any Department of Energy (DOE)
facility who were exposed to radiation
but for whom it is not feasible to
estimate their radiation dose, and on
whether there is reasonable likelihood
that such radiation doses may have
endangered the health of members of
this class.
Matters to be Considered: The agenda
will include discussions on the
following: National Institute for
Occupational Safety & Health Program
Update; Department of Labor Program
Update; Department of Energy Program
Update; SEC Petitions Status Update;
