Proposed Project

    National Public Health Performance Standards Program State Public 
Health System Assessment (OMB 0920-0557)--Revision--Office of the 
Director (OD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Office of the Director is proposing to revise the currently 
approved National Public Health Performance Standards Program State 
Public Health System Assessment. The formal, voluntary data collection 
that assesses the capacity of state public health systems to deliver 
the essential services of public health. Electronic data submission 
will be used when state health departments complete the public health 
assessment.
    A three-year approval is being sought with the revised data 
collection instrument. The original data collection instrument has been 
valuable in

assessing performance and capacity and identifying areas for 
improvement. It is anticipated that the updated data collection 
instrument will be voluntarily used by states for similar purposes.
    From 1998-2002, the CDC National Public Health Performance 
Standards Program convened workgroups with the National Association of 
County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), The Association of State and 
Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), the National Association of Local 
Boards of Health (NALBOH), the American Public Health Association 
(APHA), and the Public Health Foundation (PHF) to develop performance 
standards for public health systems based on the essential services of 
public health.
    In 2005, CDC reconvened workgroups with these same organizations to 
revise the data collection instruments, in order to ensure the 
standards remain current and improve user friendliness.
    There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. The 
total estimated annualized burden hours are 96.
