Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``Assessment of Outcomes Associated with the
Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant'' to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously
published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations'' notice on February 4, 2022, to obtain comments from
the public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive comments related
to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30
days for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including, through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
Assessment of Outcomes Associated with the Preventive Health and
Health Services Block Grant (OMB Control No. 0920-1257, Exp. 04/30/
2022)--Extension--Center for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial
Support (CSTLTS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant (PHHS Block
Grant) has provided funding for all 50 states, the District of
Columbia, two American Indian tribes, five U.S. territories, and three
freely associated states to address the unique public health needs of
their jurisdictions in innovative and locally defined ways. First
authorized by Congress in 1981 through the Public Health Service Act
(Pub. L. 102-531), the fundamental and enduring purpose of the grant
has been to provide grantees with localized control to address their
priority public health needs. In 1992, Congress amended the law to
align PHHS Block Grant funding priorities with the 22 chapters
specified in Healthy People (HP) 2000, a set of national objectives
designed to guide health promotion and disease prevention efforts.
Additional amendments included funds specifically dedicated to sex
offense prevention and victim services, thus requiring grantees
receiving this support to include related HP objectives and activities
as part of their PHHS Block Grant-funded local programs.
CDC has increased the accountability of the PHHS Block Grant by
establishing a comprehensive, standardized method to collect data to
describe select outputs and outcomes. The CDC PHHS Block Grant
Measurement Framework is an innovative approach to: (1) Collecting data
on public health infrastructure (i.e., information systems, quality
improvement, efficiency and effectiveness of programs, services, and
operations); (2) emerging public health needs addressed; and (3)
evidence-based public health interventions implemented.
The purpose of this information collection request (ICR) is to
collect data that will assess select cross-cutting outputs and outcomes
of the grant (as defined by the framework measures) and that
demonstrate the utility of the grant on a national level. This data
collection will describe the outcomes of the PHHS Block Grant as a
whole--not individual grantee activities or outcomes.
The respondent universe consists of 61 PHHS Block Grant
coordinators, or their designees, across 61 health departments (50
states, the District of Columbia, 2 tribes, 5 U.S. territories, and 3
freely associated states). The assessment will be administered to PHHS
Block Grant coordinators electronically via a web-based questionnaire.
A link to the assessment will be provided by email invitation. The
survey will be completed once
[[Page 24308]]
every two years. The total annualized estimated burden is 46 hours.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.
