Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-5960 or send an e-mail
to [email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 395-5806.
Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant (OMB No. 0920-
0106, exp. 8/31/2011)--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCDDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant program
provides awardees with their primary source of flexible funding for
health promotion and disease prevention programs. Sixty-one awardees
(50 states, the District of Columbia, two American Indian Tribes, and
eight U.S. territories) currently receive block grants from CDC in
order to address locally-defined public health needs in innovative
ways. Block Grants allow awardees to prioritize the use of funds to
fill funding gaps in programs that deal with the leading causes of
death and disability. Block Grants also improve awardees' ability to
respond rapidly to emerging health issues.
CDC currently collects standardized application and performance
information from each awardee through a web-based system called the
Block Grant Management Information System (BGMIS). As required by the
authorizing legislation for the Block Grant program, the BGMIS collects
information by the areas described in Healthy People National Health
Objectives, and improves adherence to its goals. The BGMIS requires
awardees to enter their objectives in SMART (Specific, Measurable,
Achievable, Realistic, and Time-based) format, and to use evidence
based guidelines and best practices as the basis for public health
programs and interventions. Finally, the BGMIS information collection
includes a Compliance Review section, which provides feedback to each
awardee pertaining to its past reviews.
Information will be collected from awardees twice per year, once
for the annual Work Plan, and once for the Annual Report. CDC will
continue to use the information collected from Block Grant awardees to
provide oversight and direction to recipients and to inform CDC
management, decision makers, and the general public about PHHS Block
Grant allocations, activities, and outcomes. There are no changes to
the information being collected during the period of this Revision
request, however, there are expected reductions in the estimated burden
per response for both the Work Plan and the Annual Report. These
reductions are due to changes in the BGMIS, which has been modified to
allow pre-population of some fields. Respondents will only need to
update information already entered into the system, thus improving the
efficiency of reporting and reducing the burden per response. In
addition, the guidance documents for both information collections are
being revised to improve their usability.
All information is collected electronically. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The estimated annualized burden
hours are 2,135.
