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 ``Community Health Workers for COVID Response
and Resilient Communities (CCR) National Evaluation'' 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 October 21, 2022 to obtain comments from
the public and affected agencies. CDC received two non-substantive
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
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 approval for a New data collection entitled
``Community Health Workers for COVID Response and Resilient Communities
(CCR) National Evaluation.'' OMB approval is requested for three years.
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. DP21-2109 is funded for a
three-year period, from September 2021 through August 2024. At the same
time, CDC also funded two recipients under CDC-RFA-DP21-2110,
``Community Health Workers for COVID Response and Resilient Communities
(CCR)--Evaluation and Technical Assistance'' (CCR-ETA recipients) to
design and conduct the national evaluation of DP21-2109 CCR. These two
recipients will lead the information collection described in this
request.
Both DP21-2109 and DP21-2110 were funded through the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020 funds allocated
to CDC to achieve the goal of protecting the American people from the
public health impacts of COVID-19. The novel Coronavirus Disease 2019
has impacted communities nationwide. Racial and ethnic minority groups,
economically disadvantaged persons, justice-involved individuals,
people experiencing homelessness, and people who use drugs and/or have
certain underlying medical conditions have a higher risk of having
severe COVID-19 illness and adverse outcomes. Thus, these groups
represent the CCR populations of focus.
The purpose of the DP21-2109 CCR national evaluation is to monitor
implementation and evaluate implementation and outcomes of CCR. CDC
will use resulting information to describe the 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 populations of focus. This request includes the following
information collections:
<bullet> CCR Recipient Survey: The survey will collect information
about: (1) program management; (2) organizational infrastructure; (3)
populations of focus served by CCR funded efforts; (4) CHW hiring and
compensation; (5) CHW training, certification, and integration into
community-based and care COVID response teams; (6) CHW referral
tracking systems; (7) non-CDC resources supporting the program; and (8)
other aspects of program implementation. The survey will be
administered once--at the end of program Year 3--in both English and
Spanish using web-based survey software.
<bullet> CHW Survey: The survey will collect information about: (1)
CHW compensation and benefits; (2) core CHW roles during CCR
implementation; (3) integration of CHWs into community-based and care
COVID response teams; (4) core competency training; (5) supervision;
(6) CHW-initiated referrals; and (7) CHW involvement in decision-
making. The survey will be administered once--at the end of program
Year 3--in English and Spanish using web-based survey software.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 194 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
