To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a

Proposed Project
Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant, Annual
Application and Reports, OMB No. 0920-0106-Extension--National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and brief description:
In 1994, OMB approved the collection of information provided in the
grant applications and annual reports for the Preventive Health and
Health Services (PHHS) Block Grant (OMB No. 0920-0106). This approval
expires on January 31, 2005. CDC is requesting OMB clearance for this
legislatively mandated information collection until January 31, 2008.
The request is to approve the development and adherence to Healthy
People 2010 (the Nation's Health Objectives) which was released in the
Spring of 2000. The PHHS block grant is mandated according to section
1904 to adhere to the Healthy People framework.
This information, which is collected through the application forms
from the official State health agencies, is required from section 1905
of the Public Health Service Act. There is a slight change in the
proposed information collection from previous years. The changes
include more program specific information and the relationship of block
funded activities to program strategy. The information collected from
the annual report forms is required by section 1906. The development of
a PHHS block grant web page, with data web links from existing federal
databases, will be used to coincide with the collection of uniform data
for the annual report. The availability to collect data through
internet accessibility will allow for a more streamlined and efficient
use of data processing by the states and reduce the states' burden of
duplicate reporting on outcome and risk factor data. There is no cost
to respondents except their time to complete the application/report.
