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
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Send written comments
to CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC
20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Written comments should be received
within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Using Traditional Foods and Sustainable Ecological Approaches for
Health Promotion and Diabetes Prevention in American Indian/Alaska
Native Communities (OMB No. 0920-0889, exp. 6/30/2014)--Revision--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2008, the CDC's Native Diabetes Wellness Program (NDWP), in
consultation with American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribal elders,
issued a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) entitled, ``Using
Traditional Foods and Sustainable Ecological Approaches for Health
Promotion and Diabetes Prevention in American Indian/Alaska Native
Communities.'' The Traditional Foods program was designed to build on
what is known about traditional ways in order to inform culturally
relevant, contemporary approaches to diabetes prevention for AI/AN
communities. The program supports activities that enhance or re-
introduce indigenous foods and practices drawn from each grantee's
landscape, history, and culture. Example activities include the
cultivation of community gardens, organization of local farmers'
markets, and the dissemination of culturally appropriate health
messages through storytelling, audio and video recordings, and printed
materials. In addition, the program promotes physical activity
initiatives, provides social support for healthy lifestyles, and
supports collaboration with other agencies and programs.
Seventeen (17) tribal organizations received cooperative agreement
funding under the initial FOA. Sixteen tribal organizations applied for
a one-year extension that ends September 30, 2014.
CDC currently collects information from awardees about the
activities supported with Traditional Foods funding. Each awardee
submits a shared data elements (SDE) report to CDC through a Web-based
interface. Information has been collected twice per year, in spring and
fall. CDC anticipates that the spring 2014 report will be submitted to
CDC under the current OMB clearance (OMB No. 0920-0889, exp. 6/30/
2014). In order to receive a final report in the fall of 2014, CDC is
requesting a six-month continuation of OMB approval, through
approximately December 31, 2014. Because of the variety of food- and
lifestyle-related programs that take place in the late spring, summer,
and early fall, CDC wants to ensure complete and accurate reporting of
awardee activities conducted the final months of cooperative agreement
funding.
There are no proposed changes to the data collection instrument,
data collection methodology, or the estimated burden per response. The
SDE will continue to be submitted to CDC using Survey Monkey, an
electronic Web-based interface. The estimated burden per response is
two hours. Each grantee will receive a personalized advance
notification letter, followed by an email with a link to the Survey
Monkey site. Changes to be implemented in this Revision request
include: 1) A reduction in the number of respondents, from 17 to 16, 2)
a change in the frequency of reporting (only one SDE report will be
received during the six-month extension period), and 3) discontinuation
of the one-time retrospective data collection that was part of the
initial three-year clearance request.
CDC will continue to use the SDE reports to compile a systematic,
quantifiable inventory of activities, products, and outcomes associated
with the Traditional Foods program. The SDE also allow CDC to analyze
aggregate data for improved technical assistance and overall program
improvement, reporting, and identification of outcomes; allow CDC and
grantees to create a comprehensive inventory/resource library of
diabetes primary prevention ideas and approaches for AI/AN communities
and identify emerging best practices; and improve dissemination of
success stories.
Respondents will be 16 Tribes and Tribal organizations that receive
funding through the Traditional Foods program. Participation in this
information collection is required for Traditional Foods program
awardees. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 32.
