Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a 
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 498-1210. Send written 
comments to CDC, Desk Officer, Human Resources and Housing Branch, New 
Executive Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax 
to (202) 395-6974. Written comments should be received within 30 days 
of this notice.
    Proposed Project: REACH 2010 Evaluation, OMB No. 0920-0502--
Extension--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    The REACH 2010 Demonstration Program is a part of the Department of 
Health and Human Services' response to the President's Race Initiative 
and to the Healthy People 2010 goal to eliminate disparities in the 
health status of racial and ethnic minorities. The purpose of REACH 
2010 is to demonstrate that adequately funded community-based programs 
which are designed and led by the communities they serve can reduce 
health disparities in infant mortality, deficits in breast and cervical 
cancer screening and management, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, 
HIV/AIDS, and deficits in childhood and adult immunizations. The 
communities served by REACH 2010 include: African American, American 
Indian, Hispanic American, Asian American, and Pacific Islander. 
Seventeen communities were funded in Phase I to construct Community 
Action Plans (CAP). In Phase II, 26 communities will receive funding to 
implement their CAP. This data collection is for the Phase II 
communities.
    As part of the President's Race Initiative, it is imperative that 
REACH 2010 demonstrate success in reducing health disparities among 
racial and ethnic minority populations. Toward that end, it is of 
critical importance that CDC collects uniform survey data from each of 
the 26 communities funded for the Phase II REACH 2010 Demonstration 
Program. The same survey will be conducted in each community; it will 
contain questions that are standard public health performance measures 
for each health priority area. Surveys will be administered by either 
telephone or household interview. These surveys will be administered 
annually using a different sample from each community. The total 
annualized burden for this data collection is 8,138 hours.
