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. 
Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Prevention Research Centers Program National Evaluation Reporting 
System (OMB No. 0920-0650 exp. 8/31/2010)--Revision--Division of Adult 
and Community Health, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Prevention Research Centers (PRC) Program was established by 
Congress through the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Amendments 
of 1984. PRCs conduct outcomes-oriented health promotion and disease 
prevention research on a broad range of topics using a multi-
disciplinary and community-based approach. CDC manages the PRC program 
and currently provides funding to PRC grantees that are housed within 
schools of public health, medicine, or osteopathy. Awards are made for 
five years and renewed through a competitive application process.
    CDC is currently approved to collect progress and performance 
information about PRCs through the PRC Information System (IS), a Web-
based application (OMB no. 0920-0650, exp. 8/31/2010). The performance 
information is used to track each PRC's progress toward, and 
achievement of, the objectives established by the PRC Program and the 
PRC's individual work plan, including indicators related to research 
projects, products resulting from those projects, trainings related to 
those projects, and partnerships. Information has been collected 
through the PRC IS twice per year.
    In the next approval period, information collection will be 
restructured around a revised set of performance indicators and revised 
information collection methodology. The frequency of reporting will be 
reduced to once per year, however, reporting will be divided into two 
parts. The first information collection will be conducted 
electronically utilizing Survey Monkey, a more user-friendly Web-based 
survey system. This information collection will include the following: 
(1) PRC involvement with State and local health departments and other 
government agencies, (2) number and characteristics of research 
projects, (3) number of training programs delivered, (4) number of 
people trained, and (5) number of students trained. The second 
information collection will consist of a telephone interview with a key 
contact for each PRC grantee. The data will include the: (1) Number of 
new people hired, (2) number of contracts entered into and supported by 
PRC core funds, and (3) number of effective interventions. Although the 
number of respondents will increase from 33 to 37 PRCs, the proposed 
changes will result in a net decrease in the total estimated annualized 
burden to respondents, due primarily to a decrease in the burden per 
respondent.
    OMB approval is being requested for a three-year period with a 
start date of June 1, 2010. There are no costs to respondents other 
than their time. The total estimated burden hours are 259.
