2024.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2023-

<bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow
the instructions for submitting comments.
<bullet> Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road
NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.

Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking
portal (<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>) or by U.S. mail to the address listed
above.

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
Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) Monitoring Activities
(OMB Control No. 0920-1074, Exp. 03/31/2024)--Extension--National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of death from
cancer in the United States among cancers that affect both men and
women. There is substantial evidence that CRC screening reduces the
incidence of, and death from the disease. Screening for CRC can detect
disease early when treatment is more effective, and can prevent cancer
by finding and removing precancerous
[[Page 88621]]
polyps. Of individuals diagnosed with early stage CRC, more than 90%
live five or more years. Despite strong evidence supporting screening,
only 68.8% of adults currently report being up-to-date with CRC
screening as recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force in
2018, with more than 22 million age-eligible adults estimated to be
untested. To reduce CRC morbidity, mortality, and associated costs, use
of CRC screening tests must be increased among age-eligible adults with
the lowest CRC screening rates.
The purpose of the Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) is to
partner with health systems and their individual primary care clinics
to implement Evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to increase CRC
screening among defined populations of adults ages 50-75 that have CRC
screening rates lower than the national, regional, or local rate. In
2020, CDC issued the funding opportunity, Public Health and Health
System Partnerships to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening in Clinical
Settings (DP20-2002), a 5-year cooperative agreement to increase CRC
screening among defined populations of adults ages 50-75 that have CRC
screening rates lower than the national, regional, or local rate. DP20-
2002 funds recipients to partner with health systems and their primary
care clinics to implement multiple EBIs, partner with organizations to
support implementation of EBIs in those clinics, and collect high-
quality clinic-level data when a clinic is recruited to participate
(baseline) and annually thereafter to monitor EBI implementation and
assess screening rate changes. DP20-2002 also requires recipients to
conduct a formal capacity/readiness assessment of potential clinics to
implement EBIs, use assessment findings to select appropriate EBIs for
implementation, and provide clinics with limited financial resources to
support follow-up colonoscopies for under- and uninsured patients after
an abnormal CRC screening test.
CDC proposes three information collections--the Annual Awardee
Survey, the Clinic-Level Data Collection Instrument, and the Quarterly
Program Update--to reflect the strategies and objectives detailed in
DP20-2002. CDC will conduct data collections for each of these three
proposed activities among all 35 recipients following the end of each
program year which runs from July 1-June 30.
The Annual Awardee Survey assesses: (1) program management; (2)
clinic readiness assessment activities; (3) data management; (4)
technical assistance (TA) needs; (5) partnerships; and (6) the effect
of COVID-19 on CRC implementation at the recipient level.
The Clinic-level Information Collection Instrument assesses: (1)
health system and clinic characteristics; (2) program reach; (3) CRC
screening practices and outcomes; (4) clinics' quality improvement and
monitoring activities; (5) EBI implementation; and (6) additional
factors that affect EBI implementation over time.
The Quarterly Program Update will collect standardized recipient-
level information on aspects of program management, including: (1)
quarterly program expenditures; (2) current staff vacancies; (3)
program successes and challenges; (4) current TA needs; and (5) the
effect of COVID-19 on CRCCP implementation at the recipient level.
These data are collected quarterly to enable rapid reporting of
programmatic information to support CDC program consultants in
providing tailored and meaningful TA.
This information collection enables CDC to gauge progress in
meeting CRCCP program goals and monitor implementation activities,
evaluate outcomes, and identify recipients' TA needs. In addition, data
collected will inform program improvement and help identify successful
activities that need to be maintained, replicated, or expanded. CDC is
requesting a 3-year Extension to the Colorectal Cancer Control Program
(CRCCP) Monitoring Activities collection (OMB No. 0920-1074). The total
estimated annualized burden is 760 hours.
