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 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
directed to the Attention: 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
Annual Survey of Colorectal Cancer Control Activities Conducted by
States and Tribal Organizations--New--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In July 2009, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's
(CDC's) Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, funded the Colorectal
Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) for a 5-year period. The purpose of the
CRCCP is to promote colorectal cancer (CRC) screening to increase
population-level screening rates to 80% and, subsequently, to reduce
CRC incidence and mortality. The current awardees are 25 states and 4
tribal organizations.
The CRCCP includes two program components: (1) CRC screening of
low-income, uninsured and underinsured people (screening provision) and
(2) implementation of interventions to increase population-level
screening rates (screening promotion).
As a comprehensive, organized screening program, the CRCCP supports
activities including program management, partnership development,
public education and targeted outreach, screening and diagnostic
services, patient navigation, quality assurance and quality
improvement, professional development, data management and utilization,
and program monitoring and evaluation. For clinical service delivery,
grantees fund health care providers in their state/territory/tribe to
deliver colorectal cancer screening, diagnostic evaluation, and
treatment referrals for those diagnosed with cancer.
An annual survey of CRCCP grantees was fielded from 2011-2013
through the
[[Page 12179]]
Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network. The survey was found to
be useful by CDC and the grantees (which received feedback reports).
For example, after the each survey administration, 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, and is
being supported through the National Association of Chronic Disease
Directors. CDC's proposed survey builds on previous information
collections conducted from 2011-2013 through the CPCRN.
Questions are of various types including dichotomous and multiple
response. All information is to be collected electronically through the
web-based survey. The estimated burden per response is 75 minutes.
This assessment will enable CDC to gauge its progress in meeting
CRCCP 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 CRCCP awardees and there are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are
36.
