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 Seleda Perryman, CDC Assistant Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail
to omb@cdc.gov.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Written comments should be received
within 60 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Information Network (REACH IN)--Extension (0920-0603)--National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health 2010 (REACH 2010)
currently funds forty local coalitions to establish community based
programs and culturally appropriate interventions to eliminate racial
and ethnic health disparities. Two previously funded grantees also
retain access to the system. Communities served by REACH 2010 include:
African American, American Indian, Hispanic American, Asian American,
and Pacific Islander. These communities can select among infant
mortality, deficits in breast and cervical cancer screening and
management, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and deficits
in childhood and adult immunizations to be the focus of their
interventions. Guided by logic models, each community articulates
goals, objectives, and related activities; tracks whether goals and
objectives are met, ongoing, or revised; and evaluates all program
activities. This information is then entered into the REACH Information
Network (REACH IN). REACH IN is a customized Internet-based support
system that allows REACH 2010 grantees to perform remote data entry and
retrieval of data.
This support system is designed to create on-demand graphs and
reports of grantees' activities and accomplishments, monitor progress
toward the achievement of goals and objectives, and share and
synthesize information across grantees' activities. Both quantitative
and qualitative analyses can be performed. These analyses relate
primarily to three stages of the REACH 2010 logic model: Capacity
building, targeted actions (interventions), and community and systems
change and change among change agents. Users are supported with
technical assistance and training, covering the usage of the system
from a content/project goals perspective, and technical operations.
The annualized estimated burden is based on 42 respondents,
including 40 currently funded grantees and two that were funded
previously who retain access to the system. It is estimated that they
each use the system four times a year to enter data, each data entry
taking about 30 minutes. There are no costs to respondents except their
time to participate.
