SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. 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
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Community Health Workers for COVID Response and Resilient
Communities (CCR) National Evaluation--New--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a New Information Collection Request titled
Community Health Workers for COVID Response and Resilient Communities
(CCR) National Evaluation. In 2021, CDC funded DP21-2109, ``Community
Health Workers for COVID Response and Resilient Communities (CCR)''.
DP21-2109 funds 68 CCR recipients across the United States to train and
deploy community health workers (CHWs) to support COVID-19 response
efforts and to build and strengthen community resilience to fight
COVID-19 through addressing existing health disparities. Thirty-two of
the 68 recipients were funded for Component A, Capacity Building, which
focuses on building capacity among CHWs, and 36 recipients are funded
for Component B, Implementation Ready, which focuses on enhancing and
expanding existing CHW efforts. DP21-2109 is funded for a three-year
period, from September 2021 through August 2024.
CDC also funded CDC-RFA-DP21-2110, ``Community Health Workers for
COVID Response and Resilient Communities (CCR)--Evaluation and
Technical Assistance'' (CCR-ETA recipients) at the same time the agency
funded DP21-2109. Two recipients were funded to design and conduct the
national evaluation of DP21-2109 CCR and will lead the information
collection described in this request.
The CCR National Evaluation aims to collect consistent, systematic
information from the 68 CDC-RFA-DP21-2109 award recipients through two
primary data collection efforts: (1) a CCR recipient survey; and (2) a
survey of Community Health Workers (CHWs) funded through CCR. The CCR
recipient survey will collect information about program management,
organizational infrastructure, CHW implementation practices,
populations of focus served by CCR funded efforts, non-CDC resources
supporting the program, and other aspects of program implementation.
The CHW survey will collect information about CHW roles, integration
into community-based and care COVID response teams, core competency
training, supervision, implementation activities, and compensation. The
surveys will be administered by the CCR-ETA award recipients. Both
surveys will be available in English and Spanish.
The goal of this data collection is to assess the activities
implemented by the 68 recipients of the CDC-RFA-DP21-2109 CCR NOFO (CCR
award recipients), as part of the three CCR core strategies (i.e., CHW
training, deployment, and engagement with COVID-19 response teams) and
the intended outcomes of these activities on the CCR populations of
focus. CDC will use resulting information to describe the
[[Page 64047]]
implementation of CCR at the national level, inform future community-
based and CHW-led COVID response programs, and, in conjunction with
secondary data sources, assess some important health outcomes,
including vaccination rates among some populations of focus.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 578 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.
