Proposed Project

    Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant, Annual 
Application and Reports, OMB No. 0920-0106--Revision--National Center 
for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    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 No. 0920-0106). CDC is 
requesting OMB clearance for this legislatively mandated information 
collection. The request is to approve the development and adherence to 
Healthy People 2010 (the Nation's Health Objectives) which was released 
in the Spring of 2000. The PHHS block grant is mandated according to 
section 1904 to adhere to the Healthy People framework.
    This information, which is collected through the application forms 
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 report forms 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 ability to collect data through Internet 
accessibility will allow for a more streamlined and efficient use of 
data processing by the states and reduce the states' burden of 
duplicate reporting on outcome and risk factor data. There is no cost 
to respondents except their time to complete the application/report. 
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 4270.
