Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Evaluating the Impact of Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Programs for NCCCP Efforts. This data collection is designed to collect information about TTA offered using focus groups and a web-based survey to assess whether a specific cooperative agreement has been implemented as intended and contributed to National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) recipients' achievements in program goals and outcomes.

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
Evaluating the Impact of Training and Technical Assistance (TTA)
Programs for NCCP Efforts (OMB Control No. 0920-1193)--Reinstatement
with Change--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's (CDC) National
Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) has been a primary funder
for state and community-based cancer control interventions since its
inception in the late 1990s. NCCCP's 66 recipients, including programs
in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, a number of tribes, tribal
organizations, and U.S. Associated Pacific Islands/territories, as well
as cancer coalitions, engage with partners to enhance cancer-related
data systems and deliver evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for
primary prevention, screening and survivorship with the goal of
impacting population-level cancer outcomes and reduce the burden of
cancer.
To build capacity and maximize the impact of funded NCCCPs, CDC
developed and implemented the training and technical assistance
program, Evaluating the Impact of Training and Technical Assistance
(TTA) Programs for NCCCP Efforts (referred to hereafter as the ``TTA
Program'' or ``DP23-0017''). The current TTA program cycle builds upon
the previous cycles to enhance NCCCP recipients' capacity to plan for
and implement EBIs and strategies through multisectoral partnerships;
policy, system, and environmental change approaches; approaches to
health for all, and approaches to addressing non-medical factors that
influence health. The funded TTA entities are responsible for
developing and implementing a TTA plan, sustaining partnerships,
employing various training methods, and evaluating their TTA efforts. A
comprehensive evaluation is critical to ensure the provision of high-
quality and effective TTA. This program is authorized under sections
301(a) and 317(k)(2) of the Public Health Service Act as amended [42
U.S.C. 241(a) and 42 U.S.C. 247b(k)(2)] and also authorizes CDC to
collect this information.
CDC proposes to assess DP23-0017 to: (1) document the nature of the
TTA provided and the extent to which they were able to achieve planned
short-term outcomes; and (2) identify which TTA efforts contributed to
NCCCP recipients' achievement in program outcomes. There are no other
data collection efforts currently underway to assess implementation or
perceived effectiveness of TTA administered under DP23-0017. CDC is
requesting a three-year Reinstatement with Change to the previously
approved Information Collection Request (ICR) (Assessing the Impact of
Targeted Training and
[[Page 1316]]
Technical Assistance Efforts on the Implementation of Comprehensive
Cancer Control Outcomes, OMB Control No. 0920-1193; Expiration Date: 9/
30/2023). This request for Reinstatement with Change includes updates
to the evaluation design based on programmatic changes. The new design
emphasizes short-term outcomes related to reaching NCCCP recipients and
increasing recipients' capacity to implement their cancer control
plans, achieve their program outcomes, and plan for and implement
activities to support sustainability of the NCCCP efforts. There is a
new focus on the TTA providers' efforts to network and collaborate with
one another and other subject matter experts, advisory groups, and
partners to plan for and deliver TTA. Under the previous request, a
web-based survey was administered one time to a cross-section of NCCCP
recipients. With this Reinstatement, the web-based survey will be
administered twice with two individuals from each NCCCP recipient (one
Program Coordinator and one NCCCP staff member, partner, or coalition
member) who received TTA. This collection will provide interim
information on the implementation and short-term outcomes of TTA and
allow for program improvements to better serve NCCCP recipients.
Lastly, the current evaluation introduces focus groups to collect data
from NCCCP recipients on how TTA enhanced their ability to implement
cancer control plans. The focus groups will be conducted annually and
target a subset of NCCCP recipients who participated in TTA.
The web-based survey and focus groups will capture quantitative and
qualitative data on the reach of DP23-0017 TTA efforts, the type and
effectiveness of TTA received, and its impact. Survey changes include
questions about additional TTA types (e.g., webinars, asynchronous
trainings, communities of practice), TTA topics, and the TTA's
influence on respondents' and their organizations' capacity to carry
out their comprehensive cancer control plans. Focus groups will provide
context for survey data, particularly how TTA enhanced program
capacity.
CDC requests OMB approval is requested for three years with a total
annualized response burden estimated to be 96 hours. Participation is
voluntary and respondents will not receive incentives for
participation. There are no direct costs to respondents other than
their time to participate in data collection activities.
