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 or
send comments to Carol E. Walker, CDC Acting Reports Clearance Officer,
1600 Clifton Road, MS D-74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail to
[email protected].
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
Division of Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Management
Information System--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC's Division of Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP) is
currently approved to collect progress and activity information from
awardees funded through two programs: The National Heart Disease and
Stroke Prevention Program (NHDSPP), and the Well-Integrated Screening
and Evaluation for Women Across the Nation (WISEWOMAN) program.
Information is collected semi-annually through an electronic Management
Information System (MIS). The current approval is scheduled to expire
5/31/2011 (OMB No. 0920-0679).
CDC plans to request OMB approval to continue information
collection, with changes, for three years. A net reduction in the
number of respondents will result in a net reduction in burden hours.
Although there will be an increase in the number of state-based heart
disease and stroke prevention (HDSP) programs funded through the
NHDSPP, reporting requirements involving the MIS will be discontinued
for awardees funded through the WISEWOMAN program. No changes are
proposed to the information collection instrument, the burden per
response, or the frequency of information collection.
In 1998, Congress provided CDC with initial funding to establish
the NHDSPP, authorized under sections 301(a) and 317b(k)(2) of the
Public Health Service (PHS) Act [42 U.S.C. 241(a) and 247b(k)(2)], as
amended. The program currently supports population-based heart disease
and stroke prevention efforts in selected States and the District of
Columbia. As funding allows, CDC's strategic plan calls for expanding
the program to health departments in all U.S. States and territories.
CDC works with HDSP program awardees to implement and evaluate
evidence-based public health prevention and control strategies that
address risk factors and reduce disparities, disease, disability, and
death from heart disease and stroke. Awardees are encouraged to work at
the highest levels within priority environments to change policies and
systems that will improve cardiovascular outcomes.
All HDSP program awardees are required to submit continuation
applications and semi-annual progress reports to CDC. The DHDSP MIS
provides a standardized, electronic interface for the collection of
this progress information, which includes work plans, objectives,
partners, data sources, and policy and environmental assessments. The
MIS also produces both state-specific and aggregate reports that are
used for performance
[[Page 76470]]
monitoring, program evaluation, and technical assistance. The
monitoring and evaluation plan for the HDSP program is part of an
overall initiative within CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) to promote more efficient
ways of using resources and achieving greater health impact. CDC plans
to increase the number of HDSP awardees reporting through the MIS from
33 to 42.
CDC will discontinue approval to use the DHDSP MIS for collecting
information from WISEWOMAN program awardees. The WISEWOMAN program is a
demonstration program that extends cardiovascular disease-related
services to a subset of women who also receive services through the
National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP).
Although approval was obtained to use the DHDSP MIS for collecting
progress and activity information from WISEWOMAN awardees, the
information collection was not implemented due to a change in plans for
monitoring these awardees. The current WISEWOMAN data collection is
described in OMB No. 0920-0612 (WISEWOMAN Reporting System, exp. 3/31/
2013).
CDC will continue to use the information collected through the
DHDSP MIS to identify state-specific heart disease and stroke
prevention priorities and objectives, and to describe the impact and
reach of program interventions. Respondents will be 42 health
departments in 41 States and the District of Columbia (DC). Respondents
will continue to submit their progress and activity information to CDC
semi-annually. The estimated burden per response is six hours. There
are no costs to respondents other than their time.
