[60Day-25-1092; Docket No. CDC-2025-0019]
Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations
AGENCY:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION:
Notice with comment period.
SUMMARY:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of 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 collection project titled Sudden Death in the Young.
The goal of the Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) data collection is to improve and standardize ascertainment of deaths so that funded jurisdictions can better understand the incidence and risk factors for sudden death in youth.
DATES:
CDC must receive written comments on or before August 15, 2025.
ADDRESSES:
You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2025-0019 by either of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
• Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments to www.regulations.gov.
Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking portal ( www.regulations.gov ) or by U.S. mail to the address listed above.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
To request more information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329; telephone: 404-639-7118; email: omb@cdc.gov.
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, 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.

Background and Brief Description
Estimates of the annual incidence of Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) vary broadly due to differences in case definitions, inconsistencies in classifying cause of death on death certificates, study populations, and case ascertainment. To address the need for improved estimates of SDY incidence and its epidemiology based on uniform cases definitions, CDC, in collaboration with NIH's National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), implemented the SDY Case Registry in 2015. To meet the ongoing need to produce accurate and uniform information, CDC, and NIH continued the SDY Case Registry in 2018 with 13 recipients through a CDC-based cooperative agreement program (DP18-1806). In 2023, a new cooperative agreement program began with 12 recipients (DP23-0006) was launched by CDC with continued support from NIH. The current revision seeks to revise burden hour estimates, modify responses for data elements collected, and to extend OMB approval for a period of three years.
CDC recipients agree to compile a defined set of SDY information about a defined subset of child deaths through the jurisdiction's/state's existing CDR program. CDC estimates that the 12 participating states/jurisdictions will collect data on approximately 606 SDY cases per year. Each of the 12 CDC-funded state/jurisdiction awardees will, on average, review and enter data on 51 of 606 cases each year. Burden is estimated for reporting required case information. It is estimated that approximately half (303) of the estimated 606 SDY cases will undergo advanced clinical review by a team of three medical experts.
OMB approval is requested for three years. The total estimated annual burden is 438 hours which is a decrease of 73 hours from the previously approved information collection request due to a decrease in the number of participating states/local jurisdictions from 13 to 12. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
| Type of respondent | Form name | Number of respondents | Number of responses per respondent | Average burden per response (in hr) | Total burden (in hr) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| State Health Personnel | SDY Module I | 12 | 51 | 10/60 | 102 |
| Medical Expert | Advanced Review | 36 | 26 | 15/60 | 234 |
| State Health Personnel | SDY Module N | 12 | 51 | 10/60 | 102 |
| Total | 438 |
