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 ``Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program
(DPRP)'' 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 12/15/2023
to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received
19 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 of: 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 the notice of
publication.
Proposed Project
CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP) (OMB Control No.
0920-0909, Exp. 04/30/2024)--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 DPP's Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program
(DPRP), which recognizes organizations that deliver a diabetes
prevention program according to evidence-based requirements set forth
in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention'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 U.S. in 2014-
2016, CMS proposed the MDPP in sections 1102 and 1871 of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1302 and 1395hh sec. 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
[[Page 30377]]
aggregate reporting only; not to be reported for each individual
participant); an OMB-recommended six-point disability variable (not
tied to CDC recognition and with a variable option of `Participant
chose not to respond'); 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; not tied to CDC recognition); 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
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; revisions to the combination delivery
mode to include an option for in-person delivery with a distance
learning component; and 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 (annualized to 200 hours). 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 for 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.
These organizations are reflected in Supporting Statement B within this
OMB revision.
The estimated burden per response is moderate, since the
information requested for CDC 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 approval. The total estimated annualized burden is 7,800 hours.
