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) 639-7570 or send an email to 
[email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of 
Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 395-5806. 
Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Management Information System for Comprehensive Cancer Control 
Programs--Revision (OMB No. 0920-0841, exp. 1/31/2013)--National Center 
for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Through the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP), 
CDC currently provides cooperative agreement funding and technical 
assistance to 65 entities: all 50 states, the District of Columbia, 
seven tribes/tribal organizations, and seven territories/U.S. Pacific 
Island jurisdictions. Since January 2010, NCCCP awardees have submitted 
progress and activity information to CDC twice per year using an 
electronic information system (``Management Information System for 
Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs,'' OMB No. 0920-0841, exp. 1/31/
2013). The program director for each awardee is responsible for 
overseeing activities and submitting the required reports to CDC.
    New cooperative agreements were awarded to all NCCCP programs in 
2012 (``Cancer Prevention and Control Program for State, Territorial 
and Tribal Organizations,'' Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) 
DP12-1205). The new cooperative agreements place increased emphasis on 
policy and environmental approaches to cancer prevention and control.
    CDC seeks OMB approval to continue using MIS-based reporting for 
the NCCCP awardees. Minor changes to the existing core cancer 
prevention and control data elements will be implemented to reflect the 
FOA's new performance requirements.
    Thirteen of the 65 NCCCP awardees received additional funding for 
related but distinct cooperative agreements (``Demonstrating the 
Capacity of Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs to Implement Policy 
and Environmental Cancer Control Interventions,'' FOA DP10-1017). The 
demonstration program is aimed at accelerating the development of 
policy and environmental approaches to cancer control for awardees that 
are poised to move forward rapidly. Demonstration program activities 
will be aligned with the existing comprehensive cancer control program 
in a manner that minimizes duplication, capitalizes on existing 
activities, and fosters rapid implementation. Similar semi-annual 
progress reports are required to monitor activities conducted under the 
demonstration program. A state- or territory-based policy task force 
coordinator will be responsible for submitting the required reports to 
CDC.
    CDC proposes to use the same MIS-based methodology for all 
reporting. Due to the distinct objectives, resources, and activities 
associated with each cooperative agreement, separate reports will be 
required from the program director and the task force coordinator.
    CDC's Revision request utilizes a modified method of estimating 
respondent burden which distinguishes between (i) the initial burden of 
populating the MIS, and (ii) routine MIS maintenance and report 
generation. In the initial OMB approval period (2010-2013), respondent 
burden was based on a long-term average burden per response.
    For the 65 state- and territory-based cancer prevention and control 
programs, CDC estimates the initial burden of populating the MIS at 
four hours per response. Some of the information entered into the MIS 
during the previous cooperative agreement period will be downloaded to 
minimize respondent burden in the new funding period, but awardees will 
be responsible for verifying this information and entering new 
objectives. After completing these steps, the estimated burden for 
ongoing system maintenance and semi-annual reporting is three hours per 
response.
    For the 13 states and territories that are also participating in 
the demonstration program, the initial burden of populating the MIS is 
estimated to be six hours per response. Awardees will be responsible 
for entering information about the new objectives, staff, and other 
resources for demonstration program activities. Thereafter, the 
estimated burden for ongoing system maintenance and semi-annual 
reporting is estimated at three hours per response.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. Information will be 
reported electronically twice per year. CDC will use the reports to 
identify training and technical assistance needs, monitor compliance 
with cooperative agreement requirements, evaluate progress made in 
achieving program-specific goals, and obtain information needed to 
respond to inquiries. There are no costs to respondents other than 
their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 586.
