Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
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) 639-5960 or send an e-mail
to [email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 395-5806.

Proposed Project
Economic Analysis of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early
Detection Program--Revision--Division of Cancer Prevention and Control,
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC administers the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early
Detection Program (NBCCEDP), the largest organized cancer screening
program in the United States. The NBCCEDP provides critical breast and
cervical cancer screening services to uninsured and underserved low-
income women in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, five U.S.
territories, and 12 American Indian/Alaska Native organizations. The
program provides breast and cervical cancer screening for eligible
women who participate in the program as well as diagnostic procedures
for women who have abnormal findings. During the past decade, the
NBCCEDP has provided over 9.2 million breast and cervical cancer
screening and diagnostic exams to over 3.7 million low-income women.
Those who are diagnosed with cancer through the program are eligible
for Medicaid coverage through the Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention
and Treatment Act passed by Congress in 2000.
In 2008, CDC received OMB approval to collect one year of activity-
based economic cost data from NBCCEDP grantees. In 2009, CDC received
OMB approval to collect two additional years of cost data for FY09 and
FY10 (OMB
[[Page 80056]]
No. 0920-0776, exp. 03/31/2011). Respondents are the 68 programs
participating in the NBCCEDP. Information is collected electronically
through a web-based Cost Assessment Tool (CAT) and includes: Staff and
consultant salaries, screening costs, contracts and material costs,
provider payments, in-kind contributions, administrative costs,
allocation of funds and staff time devoted to specific program
activities.
CDC requests OMB approval for a six-month extension of the current
approval period in order to complete the data collection. Based on our
experience with previous cycles of data collection, 20 grantees (30% of
the total 68 grantees) will not be able to meet the current data
collection deadline of 3/31/2011. These programs will complete their
fiscal year (FY) closeout process in April or May 2011. As a result,
these programs will not be prepared to submit data to CDC until their
FY is complete and records have been reconciled. The requested six-
month extension period will provide the time they need to complete
their FY10 closeout and conduct data quality checks before submitting
information to CDC. The requested six-month extension will improve the
quality and completeness of information used for planned data analysis,
and ensure CDC's authority to receive late submissions.
The information is being collected to support activity-based
analysis of the costs and cost-effectiveness of the NBCCEDP. The
information will be used to assess the costs of various program
components, identify factors that impact average cost, perform cost-
effectiveness analysis, and to develop a resource allocation tool for
ensuring the most appropriate use of limited program resources. All
information will be collected electronically.
NBCCEDP grantees currently report information on screening and
diagnosis volumes (the effectiveness measures for the program) as part
of the Minimum Data Elements (MDE) for the NBCCEDP (OMB 0920-0571, exp.
11/30/2012). Cost information to be collected through the CAT will
complement information currently collected through the MDE project.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are 440.
