Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a 
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-7090. Send written 
comments to CDC, Desk Officer; Human Resources and Housing Branch, New 
Executive Office Building, Room 10235; Washington, DC 20503. Written 
comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Collaborative US-Mexico Border Diabetes Prevention and Control 
Project--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion (NCCDPHP)--The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), El 
Paso field office, and the United States-Mexico Border Health 
Association (USMBHA) in collaboration with the United States/Mexico 
Border Diabetes Prevention and Control Project Work Group (USMBDPCP) is 
requesting funds for a binational diabetes prevention and control 
project on the United States-Mexico border that begins with an 
evaluation of the burden of diabetes on the border (Phase 1) and 
expands into a program implementation (Phase 2), using the results from 
Phase 1. This proposed project is responding to President Clinton's 
Initiative on Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities, as well as the 
Mexican Secretariat Adult and Elderly Health Program strategy in which 
diabetes is a national health priority. Diabetes has also been declared 
a binational border priority by the USMBHA General Assembly in a 
resolution to develop diabetes control infrastructure on the border.
    The purpose of the project is to diminish the impact of diabetes on 
the border population by conducting activities in two related and 
chronological phases (prevalence study and intervention program). Phase 
1 will assess the prevalence of diabetes, related behavioral risk 
factors, and assess the health services for the border population. The 
information collected through this household survey will serve as a 
guide for the development of diabetes education and training activities 
in Phase 2. These programs will be culturally appropriate and will 
include the participation of community health workers (promotores) and 
primary healthcare providers. Initial planning and promotional 
activities needed for Phase 2 will take place concurrent with Phase 1.
    Activities for years two through five will include implementation 
of community interventions, capacity building, and program evaluation. 
The household survey will be repeated in the fifth year of the project.
    The PAHO/USMBHA and the USMBDPCP Work Group have obtained 
considerable financial support for this proposed project. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 2835.
