Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

    In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on 
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. 
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a 
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call the CDC Reports 
Clearance Officer on (404) 639-7090.
    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; and (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. Send comments to Anne O'Connor, CDC 
Assistant Reports Clearance Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D24, 
Atlanta, GA 30333. Written comments should be received within 60 days

Proposed Project

    Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant, Annual 
Application and Reports (OMB #0920-0106)--Revision--National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 1994, OMB approved the 
collection of information provided in the grant applications and annual 
reports for the Preventive Health and Health Services (PHHS) Block 
Grant (OMB #0920-0106). This approval expires on November 30, 2001. CDC 
is requesting OMB clearance for this legislatively mandated information 
collection until November 30, 2004. The request is to approve the 
development and adherence to Healthy People 2010, the Nation's Health 
Objectives which was released the Spring of 2000. The PHHS block grant 
is mandated according to section 1904 to adhere to the Healthy People 
framework, therefore, the current application and report format was 
restructured to coincide with 2010.
    This information collected through the applications from the 
official State health agencies is required from section 1905 of the 
Public Health Service Act. There is a slight change in the proposed 
information collection from previous years. The changes include more 
program specific information and the relationship of block funded 
activities to program strategy. The information collected from the 
annual reports is required by section 1906. The development of a PHHS 
block grant web page with data web links from existing federal 
databases will be used to coincide with the collection of uniform data 
for the annual report. The availability to collect data through 
internet accessibility will allow for a more streamlined and efficient 
use of data processing by the states and will reduce the states burden 
of duplicate reporting on outcome and risk factor data. The cost to 
respondents is estimated at $25 per burden hour, a total cost to 
respondents of $106,750.
