collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the
Nation (WISEWOMAN) Reporting System. The WISEWOMAN program is designed
to prevent, detect, and control, hypertension and other cardiovascular
disease (CVD) risk factors through services such as health coaching,
and evidence informed lifestyle programs, which are tailored for
individual and group behavior change.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before December 24,
2024.

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
Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the
Nation (WISEWOMAN) Reporting System (OMB Control No. 0920-0612, Exp. 3/
31/2025)--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease and Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the
Nation (WISEWOMAN) program sponsored by the CDC, provides services to
low income, uninsured, or underinsured women aged 35-64. The WISEWOMAN
program is designed to prevent, detect, and control hypertension and
other cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors through healthy
behavior support services which are tailored for individual and group
behavior change. The WISEWOMAN program provides services to
participants who are jointly enrolled in the National Breast and
Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), which is also
administered by CDC.
The WISEWOMAN program is administered by state health departments
and tribal programs. In 2023, a new five-year cooperative agreement was
awarded under Funding Opportunity Announcement DP23-0003, subject to
the availability of funds. CDC collects two types of information from
WISEWOMAN awardees. The WISEWOMAN awardee submits an electronic data
file to CDC twice per year. The Minimum Data Elements (MDE) file
contains data using a unique identifier with client-level information
about CVD risk factors and types of healthy behavior support services
for participants served by the program. The estimated burden per
response for the MDE file is 25 hours. The Annual Progress Report
provides a narrative summary of each awardee's objectives and the
activities undertaken to meet program goals. The estimated burden per
response is 16 hours.
The WISEWOMAN Program is requesting three additional years to
continue data collection. The 2024 OMB Directive 15 for a combined race
and ethnicity question will replace the separate race and ethnicity
minimum data elements. Two MDEs are being deleted and two MDEs are
being added, and a response option is being added to one MDE. There are
no changes to overall burden. CDC will continue to use the information
collected from WISEWOMAN awardees to support program monitoring and
improvement activities, program assessment, and evaluation of program
outcomes. The overall program evaluation helps to demonstrate program
accomplishments and strengthen the evidence for strategy implementation
for improved engagement of underserved populations. It can also
determine whether the identified strategies and associated activities
can be implemented at various levels within a state or tribal
organization. The data collection is designed to demonstrate how
WISEWOMAN can obtain CVD health outcome data on at-risk populations,
promote public education about CVD risk-factors, and improve the
availability of healthy behavior support services for under-served
participants.
This is a Revision for the WISEWOMAN information collection (OMB
Control No. 0920-0612, Exp. 03/31/2025). Participation in this
information collection is required as a condition of cooperative
agreement funding. There are no costs to respondents other than their
time. The total estimated annual burden hours are 2,640.
