Abstract: The EEI Generic ICR is specifically designed to support CDC mission-critical functions by allowing CDC to deploy to the field to conduct Emergency Epidemic Investigations (EEIs) at the request of, and under the public health authority of, external partners seeking support for a rapid response to urgent public health problems. Recent investigation that have benefited from this EEI Generic ICR included the early response to the COVID 19 Pandemic, Monkeypox outbreak, and E-cigarette or Vaping Use-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI), among other high profile acute public health events. In these situations, insufficient information is available to allow for development of data collection instruments before the response team travels to the field. Data collection instruments and methods must be rapidly created and implemented, usually while investigators are in the field, to direct appropriate public health action. Often specific questions will change or new questions will evolve during the course of the investigation as new information is revealed. While most EEIs involve 2 to 3 weeks of data collection, data collections might take longer. Data collection for investigations conducted under this generic will not exceed 90 days. If data collection is required for a longer period of time, a new request will be submitted to OMB explaining the circumstances for the extended data collection and providing the forms that will be used for that collection (by this point, the content and scope of the inquiry should be clearer). This Extension ICR is submitted for renewal of the overarching Generic ICR pacakge for an additional three years. There is no anticipated change to the burden hours.
