Proposed Project
National Public Health Performance Standards Program State Public
Health System Assessment (OMB 0920-0557)--Revision--Office of the
Director, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Office of the Director, CDC is proposing to extend the
currently approved National Public Health Performance Standards Program
State Public Health System Assessment. From 1998-2002, the CDC National
Public Health Performance Standards Program convened workgroups with
the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO),
The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), the
National Association of Local Boards of Health (NALBOH), the American
Public Health Association (APHA), and the Public Health Foundation
(PHF) to develop performance standards for public health systems based
on the essential services of public health.
CDC is now proposing to extend the formal, voluntary data
collection that assesses the capacity of state public health systems to
deliver the essential services of public health. Electronic data
submission will be used when state health departments complete the
public health assessment.
The extension will provide additional time for state public health
agencies to undertake the assessment. Some states have sought to
include mention of the assessment in legislation or regulations and are
planning to respond to the assessment in the upcoming year. The focus
on bioterrorism and other emerging issues diverted resources and
attention from immediate use of the assessment since its national
release in 2002. An additional three years of clearance will provide
the time necessary to complete the survey.
The estimated annualized burden for each extension year is 105
hours.
