[60Day-16-1074; Docket No. CDC-2016-0006]
Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of

Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on the information
collection project entitled ``Colorectal Cancer Control Program CRCCP)
Monitoring Activities''. CDC is requesting a reinstatement with change
of OMB No. 0920-1074 to include a redesigned survey and a new clinic-
level data collection.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before March 21, 2016.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2016-
0006 by any of the following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulation.gov. Follow the instructions
for submitting comments.
Mail: Leroy A. Richardson, Information Collection Review Office,
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE., MS-
D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name
and Docket Number. All relevant comments received will be posted
without change to Regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided. For access to the docket to read background documents or
comments received, go to Regulations.gov.
Please note: All public comment should be submitted through the
Federal eRulemaking portal (Regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the
address listed above.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan
and instruments, contact the Information Collection Review Office,
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE., MS-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire,
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a reinstatement with change of the information
collection with the OMB Control number 0920-1074, formerly entitled
``Annual Survey of Colorectal Cancer Control Activities Conducted by
States and Tribal Organizations.'' In the previous OMB approval period,
information collection consisted of an annual grantee survey. In the
next OMB approval period, information collection will consist of a
redesigned survey and a new clinic-level data collection. The number of
respondents will increase and the total estimated annualized burden
will increase.
Among cancers that affect both men and women, colorectal cancer
(CRC) is
[[Page 3140]]
the second leading cause of death from cancer in the United States. CRC
screening has been shown to reduce incidence of and death from the
disease. Screening for CRC can detect disease early when treatment is
more effective and prevent cancer by finding and removing precancerous
polyps. Of individuals diagnosed with early stage CRC, more than 90%
live five or more years. Despite strong evidence supporting screening,
only 65% of adults currently report being up-to-date with CRC screening
as recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, with more
than 22 million age-eligible adults estimated to be untested. To reduce
CRC morbidity, mortality, and associated costs, use of CRC screening
tests must be increased among age-eligible adults with the lowest CRC
screening rates.
CDC's Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) currently provides
funding to 31 grantees under ``Organized Approaches to Increase
Colorectal Cancer Screening'' (CDC-RFA-DP15-1502). CRCCP grantees
include state governments or bona-fide agents, universities, and tribal
organizations. The purpose of the new cooperative agreement program is
to increase CRC screening rates among an applicant defined target
population of persons 50-75 years of age within a partner health system
serving a defined geographical area or disparate population.
The CRCCP was significantly redesigned in 2015 and has two
components. Under Component 1, all 31 CRCCP grantees receive funding to
support partnerships with health systems to implement up to four
priority evidence-based interventions (EBIs) described in the Guide to
Community Preventive Services, as well as other supporting strategies.
Grantees must implement at least two EBIs in each partnering health
system. Under Component 2, 6 of the 31 CRCCP grantees will provide
direct screening and follow-up clinical services for a limited number
of individuals aged 50-64 in the program's priority population who are
asymptomatic, at average risk for CRC, have inadequate or no health
insurance for CRC screening, and are low income
Based on the redesigned CRCCP, the information collection plan has
also been redesigned to address the two program components. The new
cooperative agreement program (CDC-RFA-DP15-1502) requires that CDC
monitor and evaluate the CRCCP and individual grantee performance using
both process and outcome evaluation. Two forms of data collection are
proposed. First, the CRCCP grantee survey was redesigned to align with
new CRCCP goals. The grantee survey will be submitted to CDC annually.
Second, CDC proposes to collect clinic-level data to assess changes in
CDC's primary outcome of interest, i.e., CRC screening rates within
partner health systems. Each grantee will complete a clinic-level data
template once per month. All information will be reported to CDC
electronically.
The information collection will enable CDC to gauge progress in
meeting CRCCP program goals and to monitor implementation activities,
evaluate outcomes, and identify grantee technical assistance needs. In
addition, findings will inform program improvement and help identify
successful activities that need to be maintained, replicated, or
expanded.
OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is
required for CRCCP awardees. There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
