    Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Diabetes 
Education Program (NDEP) is a partnership of the National Institutes of 
Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
and more than 200 public and private organizations. The long-term goal 
of the NDEP is to reduce the burden of diabetes and pre-diabetes in the 
United States, and its territories, by facilitating the adoption of 
proven strategies to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes and its 
complications.
    The NDEP evaluation will document the extent to which the NDEP 
program has been implemented and how successful it has been in meeting 
program objectives, outlined in the NDEP Strategic Plan. The evaluation 
relies heavily on data gathered from existing national surveys such as 
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), the National 
Health Interview Survey (NHIS), the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance 
System (BRFSS), among others for this information. This is a continued 
collection of additional primary data from NDEP target audiences on 
some key process and impact measures that are necessary to effectively 
evaluate the program. The audiences targeted by the NDEP include people 
at risk for diabetes, people with diabetes and their families, and the 
public.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 841.
