comment on the proposed data collection titled, CDC Diabetes Prevention
Recognition Program (DPRP). The Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program
(DPRP) continues the collection of nationwide, de-identified data for

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
CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP)--Revision--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT) established and
administers the National Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program
(DPRP), which recognizes organizations that deliver a diabetes
prevention program according to evidence-based requirements set forth
in the CDC's Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program Standards and
Operating Procedures (DPRP Standards). Additionally, the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program
(MDPP) expansion of CDC's National DPP was announced in early 2016,
when the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) determined that
the Diabetes Prevention Program met the statutory criteria for
inclusion in Medicare's expanded list of health care services for
beneficiaries (<a href="https://cmmi.my.site.com/mdpp/">https://cmmi.my.site.com/mdpp/</a>). This was the first time
a preventive service model from the CMS Innovation Center was expanded
into Medicare. After extensive testing of this model in 17 sites across
the US from 2014-2016, CMS proposed the MDPP in Sections 1102 and 1871
of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1302 and 1395hh section 424.59),
authorizing CDC-recognized organizations to prepare for enrollment as
MDPP suppliers beginning in January 2018 in order to bill CMS for these
services. Only organizations in good standing with the CDC DPRP are
eligible as MDPP suppliers. CDC continues to work with CMS to support
the MDPP.
CDC requests an additional three years of OMB approval to continue
collecting the information needed to administer the DPRP and provide
information needed by CMS to support the MDPP benefit. Based on
experience with the DPRP from 2011-2023, including data analysis and
feedback from applicant organizations and internal and external
partners, CDC plans to revise the DPRP Standards and the associated
information collection. Key changes are a direct result of DPRP data
analyses, recent literature reviews, and discussion with National DPP
stakeholders, including those serving socially vulnerable populations.
Key changes to the evaluation data collection instrument allow for the
collection of participant zip codes (for aggregate reporting only, not
to be reported per each individual participant); an OMB-recommended 6-
point disability variable; a health equity-related social determinants
of health (SDOH) variable set (to assess whether there was a social
needs assessment conducted; key SDOH issues identified; and whether any
action was taken); a Middle Eastern or North African write-in option
within the current race/ethnicity variable; and two new options for the
current payersource variable.
Key changes to the application data collection instrument allow
for: (1) a yes/no drop-down question asking if an organization's zip
code is in an area of high social vulnerability based on the Social
Vulnerability Index, which would permit an in-person organization to be
fast-tracked to preliminary recognition status to allow the
organization to apply to CMS to become an MDPP supplier; (2) revisions
to the Combination delivery mode to include an option for in-person
delivery with a distance learning component; and (3) collection of a
projected program start-date.
During the period of this Revision, CDC estimates receipt of
approximately 200 DPRP application forms per year from new
organizations. The estimated burden per one-time application response
is one hour. In addition, CDC estimates receipt of semi-annual
evaluation data submissions from the same 200 additional organizations
per year, estimated at two hours per response. The total estimated
average annualized evaluation burden to new respondents is 2,400 hours.
This includes an estimate of the time needed to extract and compile the
required data records and fields from an existing electronic database,
review the data, and enter the data via the DPRP Data Portal. CDC also
has 1,500 currently recognized organizations that will continue to
submit semi-annual evaluation data. The estimated burden per response
is modest, since the information requested
[[Page 86903]]
for DPRP recognition is routinely collected by most organizations that
deliver the National DPP lifestyle change program for their own
internal evaluation and possible insurance reimbursement purposes,
including the MDPP benefit. Participation in the DPRP is voluntary,
data are de-identified, no personally identifiable information (PII) is
collected by CDC, and there are no costs to respondents other than
their time. CDC is requesting a three-year revised approval. The total
estimated annual burden hours requested is 7,400.
