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 404-639-5960 
and send comments to Seleda Perryman, CDC Assistant Reports Clearance 
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail 
to [email protected].
    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. Written comments should be received 
within 60 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Information Network (REACH IN)--Extension (0920-0603)--National 
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health 2010 (REACH 2010) 
currently funds forty local coalitions to establish community based 
programs and culturally appropriate interventions to eliminate racial 
and ethnic health disparities. Two previously funded grantees also 
retain access to the system. Communities served by REACH 2010 include: 
African American, American Indian, Hispanic American, Asian American, 
and Pacific Islander. These communities can select among infant 
mortality, deficits in breast and cervical cancer screening and 
management, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and deficits 
in childhood and adult immunizations to be the focus of their 
interventions. Guided by logic models, each community articulates 
goals, objectives, and related activities; tracks whether goals and 
objectives are met, ongoing, or revised; and evaluates all program 
activities. This information is then entered into the REACH Information 
Network (REACH IN). REACH IN is a customized Internet-based support 
system that allows REACH 2010 grantees to perform remote data entry and 
retrieval of data.
    This support system is designed to create on-demand graphs and 
reports of grantees' activities and accomplishments, monitor progress 
toward the achievement of goals and objectives, and share and 
synthesize information across grantees' activities. Both quantitative 
and qualitative analyses can be performed. These analyses relate 
primarily to three stages of the REACH 2010 logic model: Capacity 
building, targeted actions (interventions), and community and systems 
change and change among change agents. Users are supported with 
technical assistance and training, covering the usage of the system 
from a content/project goals perspective, and technical operations.
    The annualized estimated burden is based on 42 respondents, 
including 40 currently funded grantees and two that were funded 
previously who retain access to the system. It is estimated that they 
each use the system four times a year to enter data, each data entry 
taking about 30 minutes. There are no costs to respondents except their 
time to participate.
