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 ``National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early
Detection Program (NBCCEDP) Monitoring Activities'' 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 October 1, 2024 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC received five non-substantive
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
National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program
(NBCCEDP) Monitoring Activities (OMB Control No. 0920-1046, Exp. 3/31/
2025)--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a Revision of the information collection (OMB
Control No. 0920-1046), titled National Breast and Cervical Cancer
Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) Monitoring Activities. Information
collection consists of an annual NBCCEDP survey, baseline and annual
clinic-level data collection, a quarterly program update (QPU) tool, a
service delivery projection worksheet, and minimum data elements
(MDEs). CDC proposes revisions to the Annual NBCCEDP Survey, clinic-
level data collection tool and quarterly program update (QPU), and
continued use of the service delivery projection worksheet and MDEs
with no changes. The number of respondents will increase from 70 to 71
and the total estimated annualized burden will decrease from 1,220
hours to 1,162 hours.
Breast and cervical cancers are prevalent among U.S. women.
Evidence shows that deaths from both breast and cervical cancers can be
avoided by increasing screening services--mammography, pap, and human
papillomavirus (HPV) tests--among women. However, screening is
typically underutilized among women who are under- or uninsured, have
no regular source of healthcare, or who recently immigrated to the U.S.
To improve access to cancer screening, Congress passed the Breast
and Cervical Cancer Mortality Prevention Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 106-354),
which directed CDC to create the National Breast and Cervical Cancer
Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). The NBCCEDP currently provides
funding to 71 recipients under ``Cancer Prevention and Control Programs
for State, Territorial, and Tribal Organizations (DP22-2202).'' The
purpose of NBCCEDP is to increase breast and cervical cancer screening
rates among women residing within defined geographical locations (as
determined by the funded program) who are at or below 250% of the
federal poverty level; aged 50-75 years for breast cancer services, and
aged 21-64 years for cervical cancer services; and are runder- or
uninsured.
CDC proposes revisions to three of the five information
collections:
<bullet> Annual NBCCEDP Survey--submitted to CDC annually and
collects program-level information to monitor recipients' challenges,
external funding sources, partnerships, and EBI implementation. The
survey has been revised to add questions related to partnership
activities and recipients' requirements for patients' payments towards
screening services, and remove COVID-19-related questions.
<bullet> Clinic-level data collection--submitted to CDC at baseline
and annually to assess health system, clinic, and patient population
characteristics; monitoring and quality improvement activities; EBI
implementation; and baseline or annual screening rates. The tool has
been revised to remove COVID-19-related variables and update response
options for measures used to report breast and cervical cancer
screening rates.
<bullet> QPU--submitted to CDC four times per year to monitor award
spending, service delivery, staff vacancies, program challenges and
successes, and technical assistance (TA) needs. This instrument has
been revised to include two optional open-ended items for recipients to
provide context to reported service delivery and spending data if
needed.
CDC proposes continued use of the remaining two information
collections--the Service Delivery Project Worksheet and the MDEs--which
have not been changed.
To maximize consistency in our routine data collections for the
current NBCCEDP funding cycle, CDC has not revised NBCCEDP information
collections to align with the Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS)' current best practices for demographic questions related to
sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) and race and ethnicity
(R/E) at this time. However, CDC plans to revise information
collections that include demographic items to align with HHS' SOGI and
R/E guidelines for the next funding cycle beginning in 2027. The
proposed modifications to the information collections will allow CDC to
better
[[Page 1493]]
gauge progress in meeting NBCCEDP program goals and monitor
implementation activities, evaluate outcomes, and identify awardee
technical assistance needs. In addition, findings will inform program
improvement and help identify successful activities that need to be
maintained, replicated, or expanded.
CDC requests OMB approval for three years and for an estimated
1,162 annual burden hours. Participation is required for NBCCEDP
awardees. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
