Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects.
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call 404-639-5960
and send comments to Joan Karr, CDC Acting Reports Clearance Officer,
1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail to

Proposed Project
Survey of 911 Emergency Treatment for Heart Disease and Stroke--
New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC has a responsibility to monitor and reduce death and disability
due to heart disease and stroke and needs information concerning
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) practices to effectively coordinate
national public health interventions. The proposed project will enhance
CDC's understanding of the field practices of local emergency medical
services (EMS) provider organizations and state level administration
and oversight, and provide interaction with important stakeholders for
partnering and cooperation. A survey will be conducted with
approximately 2,250 local EMS departments focusing on standards of
emergency care, treatment protocols, administrative oversight,
training, certification, and service area characteristics. The survey
sample includes all local EMS provider organizations in nine states
(FL, MA, KS, MT, NM, PA, OR, SC, AR). The data collected will provide
important insights into the ``state of the practice'' of pre-hospital
emergency medical services related to cardiac and stroke care
specifically. The study also will cover organizational and
administrative aspects of EMS at the state and sub-state district level
in the same nine states, major public and private stakeholders in the
conduct of EMS, technical support issues, and practices related to
positive outcomes in pre-hospital cardiac and stroke emergency care.
Data analysis will include a compilation of the practices in use and
comparison of organizational and administrative configurations.
There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate
in the survey. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 563.
