Proposed Project

    National Public Health Performance Standards Program Local Public 
Health System Assessment (OMB 0920-0555 exp. 8/31/10)--Extension--
Office of State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support, Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Office of State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support is 
proposing to extend the formal, voluntary data collection that assesses 
the capacity of local public health systems to deliver the essential 
services of public health. Local health departments will respond to the 
survey on behalf of the collective body of representatives from the 
local public health system. Electronic data submission will be used 
when local public health agencies complete the public health 
assessment.
    A three-year approval is being sought with the current data 
collection instrument. The data collection instrument has been valuable 
in assessing performance and capacity and identifying areas for 
improvement.
    From 1998-2002, the 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. In 2005, CDC reconvened workgroups with these same 
organizations to revise the data collection instruments, in order to 
ensure the standards remain current and improve user friendliness. 
There is no cost to the respondent, other than their time. The 
estimated annualized burden hours are 5600.
