Proposed Project
Monitoring and Reporting System for the Division of Community
Health's Cooperative Agreement Programs--New--National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In September 2014, the Division of Community Health (DCH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), announced 93 awards under
three new cooperative agreement programs authorized by the Public
Health Service Act and the Prevention and Public Health Fund of the
Affordable Care Act (FOA DP14-1417, FOA DP14-1418, and FOA DP14-
1419PPHF14). The new programs are designed to address chronic diseases
and risk factors for chronic diseases, including physical inactivity,
poor diet, obesity, and tobacco use. The programs will provide support
for implementation of broad, evidence- and practice-based policy and
environmental improvements in a mix of 93 large and small cities, urban
rural areas, tribes, multi-sectorial community coalitions, and racial
and ethnic communities experiencing chronic disease disparities.
Awardees include a combination of 41 state, local, and tribal
governmental agencies and 52 non-governmental (private sector)
entities.
CDC is seeking OMB approval to collect information from the new DCH
awardees utilizing an electronic Policy, Environment, Programmatic, and
Infrastructure Database (PEPID) designed to enable the accurate,
reliable, uniform and timely submission to CDC of each awardee's work
plan and progress reports. Monitoring allows CDC to determine whether
an awardee is meeting performance goals, to make adjustments in the
type and level of technical assistance provided to them, and to provide
oversight of the use of federal funds. The burden per response for
routine, semi-annual reporting through PEPID is three hours. The burden
estimate also includes a one-time allocation of 15 hours for initial
population of the PEPID system, which is annualized over the period of
the information collection request.
CDC is also requesting OMB approval to conduct targeted, special
purpose information collections on an as-needed basis. Due to
substantial interest in the new cooperative agreement programs, CDC
estimates that each DCH awardee could be asked to participate in one
special purpose information collection per year to supplement routine
progress reporting. Each special purpose information collection request
will be submitted to OMB for approval through the Change Request
mechanism, and will include the data collection instrument(s) and a
description of purpose and methods. The ability to conduct special
purpose data collections will enable CDC to effectively manage
programmatic activities and respond to inquiries. The estimated burden
per response for each special data request is six hours.
OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is
required for cooperative agreement awardees. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 1,596.
