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
Assessment of Outcomes Associated with the Preventive Health and
Health Services Block Grant (PHHS BG) (OMB Control No. 0920-1257, Exp.
6/30/2025)--Extension--National Center for STLT Public Health
Infrastructure and Workforce (NCSTLTPHIW), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Since 1981, CDC has collected information from grantees under the
PHHS Block Grant (PHHS BG) (OMB Control No. 0920-0106). This
information collection allows CDC to document and monitor the progress
of activities supported with Block Grant funding. In 2019, in response
to recommendations from governing and advisory entities, CDC obtained
OMB approval for collection of additional information focusing on
outcomes of PHHS BG funding (OMB Control No. 0920-1257, Exp. 6/30/
2025). CDC requests OMB approval to continue collecting the information
needed to assess the outcomes of PHHS Block Grant funding. Findings
will be used to: (1) describe the outcomes and achievements of
grantees' public health efforts and identify how the use of PHHS Block
Grant funds contributed to those results; and (2) help assess how the
grant advances work of the public health system and provide evidence to
support future budgetary requests. Data will be used to describe the
grant as a whole--not individual grantee activities or outcomes.
The data collection instrument will be administered online using
Qualtrics[supreg], a web-based data collection instrument. Participants
will respond to the instrument from their respective work locations.
All Health Departments funded by the PHHS BG will be asked to respond
to the data collection instrument, but participation is voluntary.
Specific respondents include 61 PHHS BG coordinators, or their
designees, across 61 health departments funded under the PHHS BG,
acting in their official capacities. These respondents represent 50
states, the District of Columbia, two tribes, five U.S. territories,
and three freely associated states.

CDC requests OMB approval for three years and an estimated 46
annual burden hours. There are no changes to the content of the
information collection instrument or the estimated burden per response.
