notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program (PCNASP). This data
collection is designed to monitor trends in stroke and stroke care,
with the ultimate mission of improving the quality of care for stroke
patients in the United States.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before August 5, 2024.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2024-
0041 by either of the following methods:
<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

Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments
to <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
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
Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program (PCNASP) (OMB Control
No. 0920-1108, Exp. 9/30/2024)--Extension--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division for
Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP), requests an Extension of a
previously approved data collection for a period of three years. The
CDC is the primary Federal agency for protecting health and promoting
quality of life through the prevention and control of disease, injury,
and disability. CDC is committed to programs that reduce the health and
economic consequences of the leading causes of death and disability,
thereby ensuring a long, productive, healthy life for all people.
Stroke remains a leading cause of serious, long-term disability and
is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States after heart
disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and accidents.
Estimates indicate that approximately 795,000 suffer a first-ever or
recurrent stroke each year with more than 145,000 deaths annually.
Although there have been significant advances in preventing and
treating stroke, the rising prevalence of heart disease, diabetes, and
obesity has increased the relative risk for stroke, especially in
African American populations. There is a critical need to improve
access to and quality of care for those at highest risk for events and
stroke patients among the continuum of care, particularly among high
burden populations. Coverdell-funded State programs are in the
forefront of developing and implementing system-change efforts to
improve stroke systems of care using strategies like linking and using
data, using team-based approaches to coordinate stroke care, and
providing community resources to reach the general populations and
specifically those at highest risk of stroke events, and reduce
disparities in access to quality care for high burden populations.
When Congress directed the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) to establish the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke
Program (PCNASP) in 2001, CDC intended to monitor trends in stroke and
stroke care, with the ultimate mission of improving the quality of care
for stroke patients in the United States. Since 2021, CDC has funded
and provided technical assistance to thirteen recipients to develop
comprehensive stroke systems of care. A comprehensive system of care
improves quality of care by creating seamless transitions for
individuals experiencing stroke. In such a system, pre-hospital
providers, in-hospital providers, and early post-hospital providers
coordinate patient hand-offs and ensure continuity of care.
While PCNASP has existed since 2001, the goal and mission of the
program has evolved with each funding cycle. The 2021-2024 funding
cycle is the first such initiative to focus on addressing health equity
specifically and understanding efforts to impact stroke outcomes for
those at highest risk of stroke. CDC proposes to continue collecting
information from thirteen funded PCNASP recipients to gain insight into
the effectiveness of implementation approaches, including linking and
using data, using team-based approaches to coordinate stroke care, and
providing community resources in order to reach the general population
and those at highest risk of stroke events, and reduce disparities in
access to quality care for high burden populations. The insights to be
gained from this continuing data collection will be critical to
improving immediate efforts and achieving the goals of spreading and
replicating State-level strategies that are proven programmatically and
are cost-effective in contributing to a higher quality of care for
stroke patients.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 501 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
