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
[[Page 58784]]
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
CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP)--Revision--
Division of Diabetes Translation, National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Evidence from efficacy and effectiveness research studies has shown
that lifestyle modifications leading to weight loss and increased
physical activity can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in individuals
with prediabetes or those at high risk of developing diabetes. To
translate these research findings into practice, section 399V-3 of
Public Law 111-148, directed Centers for Disease Control ``to determine
eligibility of entities to deliver community-based type 2 diabetes
prevention services,'' monitor and evaluate the services, and provide
technical assistance. To this end, CDC's Division of Diabetes
Translation (DDT) established and administers the Diabetes Prevention
Recognition Program (DPRP), which recognizes organizations that deliver
diabetes prevention programs according to requirements set forth in the
``Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Recognition Program
Standards and Operating Procedures'' (DPRP Standards). Two levels of
recognition are provided: Pending recognition, for new applicants that
have submitted an application and meet eligibility criteria defined by
the DPRP Standards, and Full recognition, for programs that have
demonstrated effectiveness according to DPRP standards. DDT maintains a
public registry of these organizations, which can be used by people at
high risk of type 2 diabetes, their health care providers, and health
payers to locate organizations that offer DPRP-recognized diabetes
prevention programs.
In 2011, CDC received OMB approval to collect information needed to
administer the DPRP (CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program, OMB
No. 0920-0909, exp. 11/30/2014). Two types of information are collected
from organizations seeking DPRP recognition: Application data and
evaluation data. The one-time application form can be completed on-line
at any time. In addition, organizations submit de-identified process
and outcome evaluation data to CDC electronically once per year. The
due dates for these submissions are based on organizations' effective
dates (the first day of the month following application approval). CDC
uses the process and outcome data to monitor and evaluate program
effectiveness and to provide targeted technical assistance to
applicants.
CDC requests an additional three years of OMB approval to continue
collecting the information needed to administer the DPRP. Based on
additional translational research, experience with the DPRP from 2011-
2014, and feedback from applicants, recognized organizations and
stakeholders, CDC plans to revise the DPRP Standards and the associated
information collection. A key change relates to incorporation of a new
mode of service delivery. Because future programs will be allowed to
deliver lifestyle programs in a virtual or electronic mode, DPRP
requirements for hour-long sessions and written materials for
participants have been dropped. A new program mode data element (in-
person, virtual, other) will be added to the DPRP application form to
facilitate the identification and evaluation of programs, by mode. This
information will also be published in the DPRP registry. Additionally,
CDC plans to initiate the following changes in the data elements
collected: (1) Add fields, if applicable, for contact information for
an additional organizational contact and data preparer to the
application form. These additional organization contacts are necessary
to facilitate communication in light of a large volume of turnover in
recognized organizations and to enable DPRP staff to provide technical
assistance directly to the data preparer. (2) Add Participant State [of
residence] to the evaluation data. This information will allow DPRP to
capture the reach of virtual programs and allow for reporting by state
or region. (3) Simplify the codes for Participation Prediabetes
Determination by reducing the number of required responses from five to
three. (4) Discontinue the collection of the Core Group Code, Location
Code, Lifestyle Coach ID, Session Type and Session ID.
Additional changes to the DPRP Standards or DPRP information
collection may be requested during the period of the Revision request,
as CDC continues discussions with recognized programs and potential
applicants and reviews results from ongoing studies.
During the period of this Revision, CDC estimates receipt of
approximately 350 DPRP application forms per year. The estimated burden
per response is one hour. In addition, CDC estimates receipt of annual
evaluation data submissions from 1,200 organizations. Evaluation data
will be received from a mix of new DPRP applicant organizations as well
as previous applicants whose performance is being assessed for
compliance with the DPRP Standards. The estimated burden per response
is one hour. The estimated burden per response is modest since the
information requested for DPRP recognition is routinely collected by
most organizations that deliver lifestyle programs. Participation in
the DPRP is voluntary, and there are no costs to respondents other than
their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1,550.
