Proposed Project

    Monitoring and Reporting System for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Control Programs (OMB No. 0920-0870, exp. 11/30/2013)--Revision--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC requests OMB approval to continue the collection of information 
from tobacco control program awardees funded through cooperative 
agreement

[[Page 60284]]

DP09-901, Collaborative Chronic Disease, Health Promotion, and 
Surveillance Program Announcement: Healthy Communities, Tobacco 
Control, Diabetes Prevention and Control, and Behavioral Risk Factor 
Surveillance System. These cooperative agreements will end on March 28, 
2014, and final reports on awardee activities are due to CDC 
approximately 90 days after the end of the funding period. OMB approval 
is requested for one year to allow submission of progress reports 
relating to the final year of funding under the current cooperative 
agreement.
    Fifty-three awardees which consist of state departments of health 
in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin 
Islands will continue to submit semi-annual progress reports through a 
Web-based management information system (MIS). There are no changes to 
the number of tobacco control program respondents, the content of the 
information collection, the frequency of information collection, or the 
estimated burden per response. However, the total estimated burden 
hours will decrease due to discontinuation of reporting requirements 
for three program components that were originally funded under the 
DP09-901 cooperative agreement: diabetes prevention and control, state 
BRFSS activities, and Healthy Communities. Due to organizational and 
funding changes within CDC, funding for these program components was 
discontinued under the DP09-901 cooperative agreement and semi-annual 
reports are no longer required.
    CDC will continue to collect information about each awardee's 
tobacco control objectives, planning, activities, resources, 
partnerships, strategies, and progress toward meeting objectives. 
Awardees will use the information reported through the electronic MIS 
to manage and coordinate their activities and to improve their efforts. 
CDC will use the information reported through the MIS to document and 
monitor each awardee's progress and to make adjustments, as needed, in 
the type and level of technical assistance provided to them. The 
information collection allows CDC to oversee the use of federal funds, 
and identify and disseminate information about successful strategies 
implemented by awardees. CDC also uses the information to respond to 
Congressional and stakeholder inquiries about awardee activities, 
program implementation, and program impact.
    Progress reporting through the MIS is required for cooperative 
agreement awardees. There are no costs to respondents other than their 
time. The total estimated burden hours are 636.
