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 ``Assessment of Outcomes Associated with the 
Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant'' 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 December 6, 2024, to obtain comments from 
the public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment 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

    Assessment of Outcomes Associated with the Preventive Health and 
Health Services Block Grant (OMB No. 0920-1257, Exp. 06/30/2025)--
Revision--National Center for STLT Public Health Infrastructure and 
Workforce (PHIC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The PHHS Block Grant, administered by CDC, provides funding to 61 
jurisdictions: all 50 states, the District of Columbia, two American 
Indian tribes, five U.S. territories, and three freely associated 
states. PHHS Block Grant recipients use this funding to address the 
unique public health needs of their jurisdictions in innovative and 
locally defined ways. In 2017, 2019, and 2022 CDC collected information 
from PHHS recipients to assess select cross-cutting outputs and 
outcomes of the PHHS Block Grant.
    In this Revision, CDC requests OMB approval to continue information 
collection over a three-year period. Assessment surveys will be 
administered in 2025 and 2027 based on the web-based survey instrument 
launched in 2022. No questions have been added or deleted; however, 
prompts were added to the Q5 and Q8 series to reduce errors. Prompts 
inform respondents that the number of items should equal the value from 
a previous question in which they input total values. A piped-text 
entry based on the value input is used to provide the actual total 
provided by the respondent.
    The legislative authority for the PHHS Block Grant aligns recipient 
activities to HHS Healthy People 2030 objectives, and additional 
changes are anticipated to maintain this alignment and ensure 
compliance with Executive Orders. CDC will submit Change Requests to 
OMB as guidance becomes available. Findings of the PHHS Block Grant 
Assessment will be used to: (1) describe the outcomes and achievements 
of recipients' 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.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation in the 
assessment survey is voluntary. CDC plans to administer the assessment 
survey in 2025 and 2027 to the 61 entities that receive PHHS Block 
Grant funding. There is no change to the estimated burden per response 
(45 minutes), however, there is a reduction in total

estimated annualized burden. Previous submissions were incorrectly 
annualized and overestimated total burden. The current Revision request 
corrects these estimates. The annualized number of respondents is 41 
and the total estimated annualized burden is 31 hours.
