Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted
the following information collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed
information collection is published to obtain comments from the public
and affected agencies.
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies
[[Page 61871]]
concerning the proposed collection of information are encouraged. Your
comments should address any of the following: (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 or send an email to [email protected]. Written comments and/or
suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice should be

Proposed Project
Annual Survey of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early
Detection Program (NBCCEDP) Grantees--New--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
To improve access to cancer screening, Congress passed the Breast
and Cervical Cancer Mortality Prevention Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-354)
which directed CDC to create the National Breast and Cervical Cancer
Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). Currently, the NBCCEDP funds 67
grantees including all 50 states, the District of Columbia, 5 U.S.
territories, and 11 American Indian/Alaska Native tribes or tribal
organizations. Grantees provide screening services for breast and
cervical cancer to low-income, uninsured, and underinsured women who
otherwise would not have access to screening.
The NBCCEDP is shifting from a focus on direct service provision to
implementation of expanded evidence-based activities intended to
increase rates of breast and cervical cancer screening at the
population level. Though NBCCEDP grantees continue to provide breast
and cervical cancer screening for un- and underinsured women, CDC is
encouraging the implementation of strategies to increase screening
rates beyond that of program-eligible women. This data collection is
being proposed in order to assess program implementation, particularly
related to these expanded population-based efforts. A survey of NBCCEDP
grantees was originally fielded in Fall/Winter 2013-2014 and cleared
under 0920-0879 as ``Assess Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening
Program Activities to Expand Access to Screening''. The survey was
found to be useful by CDC and the awardees (which received feedback
reports). For example, after the initial implementation of last year's
survey, CDC was able to tailor sessions at the Program Director's
meeting to the needs of grantees that had been expressed during last
year's information collection. DCPC has decided to continue the data
collection as an annual survey. Questions are of various types
including dichotomous and multiple response.
This assessment will enable CDC to gauge its progress in meeting
NBCCEDP program goals, identify implementation activities, monitor
program transition to efforts aimed at impacting population-based
screening, identify technical assistance needs of state, tribe and
territorial health department cancer control programs, and identify
implementation models with potential to expand and transition to new
settings to increase program impact and reach. The assessment will
identify successful activities that should be maintained, replicated,
or expanded as well as provide insight into areas that need
improvement.
OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is
voluntary for NBCCEDP awardees and there are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The estimated burden per response is 40 minutes
and the total estimated annualized burden hours are 45.
