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 ``Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke
Program'' 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 June 4,
2024 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC did
not receive 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
Paul Coverdell Acute National Stroke Program (OMB Control No. 0920-
1108, Exp. 09/30/2024)--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,
[[Page 66727]]
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
teambased 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.
