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) 498-1210.
    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 of this notice.
    Proposed Project: REACH 2010 Evaluation--Racial and Ethnic 
Approaches to Community Health, Phase II (0920-0502)--Extension--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    The REACH 2010 Demonstration Program is a part of the Department of 
Health and Human Services' response to the President's Race Initiative 
and to the Healthy People 2010 goal to eliminate disparities in the 
health status of racial and ethnic minorities. The purpose of REACH 
2010 is to demonstrate that adequately funded community-based programs 
which are designed and led by the communities they serve can reduce 
health disparities in infant mortality, deficits in breast and cervical 
cancer screening and management, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, 
HIV/AIDS, and deficits in childhood and adult immunizations. The 
communities served by REACH 2010 include: African American, American 
Indian, Hispanic American, Asian American, and Pacific Islander. 
Seventeen communities were funded in Phase I to construct Community 
Action Plans (CAP). In Phase II, 26 communities will receive funding to 
implement their CAP. This data collection is for the Phase II 
communities.
    As part of the President's Race Initiative, it is imperative that 
REACH 2010 demonstrate success in reducing health disparities among 
racial and ethnic minority populations. Toward that end, it is of 
critical importance that CDC collect uniform survey data from each of 
the 26 communities funded for the Phase II REACH 2010 Demonstration 
Program. The same survey will be conducted in each community; it will 
contain questions that are standard public health performance measures 
for each health priority area. Surveys will be administered by either 
telephone or household interview. These surveys will be administered 
annually using a different sample from each community. There are no 
costs to respondents for participating in the data collection.
    The total annualized burden hours for this project is 6500.
