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: 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 total 
annual burden for this data collection is 4,270 hours.
