Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act

    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 
(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

    Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the 
Nation (WISEWOMAN) Reporting System (OMB 0920-0612, exp. 1/31/
2014)--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The WISEWOMAN program (Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for 
Women Across the Nation), administered by the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC), was established to examine ways to 
improve the delivery of services for women who have limited access to 
health care and elevated risk factors for cardio vascular disease 
(CVD). The program focuses on reducing CVD risk factors and provides 
screening services for selected risk factors such as elevated blood 
cholesterol, hypertension, and abnormal blood glucose levels. The 
program also provides women with referrals to lifestyle programs and 
medical care. The WISEWOMAN program currently provides services to 
approximately 45,000 women who are jointly enrolled in the National 
Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), also 
administered by CDC. CDC collects information from WISEWOMAN awardees 
through the ``WISEWOMAN Reporting System'' (OMB No. 0920-0612, exp. 1/
31/2014).
    New WISEWOMAN cooperative agreements were awarded in 2013 and CDC 
seeks to continue information collection for three years, with 
revisions. The new funding period will reflect an increased emphasis on 
efficient oversight of program awardees and documenting program 
outcomes. As a result, the WISEWOMAN information collection will be 
revised to support updated program goals. Revisions to be implemented 
include a reduction in the frequency of progress report submission--
from twice per year to once per year--and changes to the content of the 
Minimum Data Element (MDE) submissions. This will result in an overall 
net decrease in respondent burden. The first reports based on the 
revised reporting requirements will be submitted to CDC in April 2014.
    The hardcopy progress report provides a narrative summary of each 
awardee's objectives and the activities undertaken to meet program 
goals, including public education and outreach. The estimated burden 
per response is 16 hours.
    The MDE include information that describes risk factors for the 
women served in each program and the number and type of lifestyle 
program sessions they attend. MDE information has previously been 
submitted to CDC in two electronic transmissions. The burden for 
Screening and Assessment MDE was estimated at 16 hours per response and 
the burden for Lifestyle Program MDE was estimated at 8 hours per 
response.
    Upon OMB approval of the proposed Revision, the MDE will be 
submitted as a single electronic file with a combined estimated burden 
per response of 24 hours. The total number of MDE variables will 
increase from 66 to 85. The number of variables relating to Lifestyle 
Programs will decrease and the number of variables relating to 
Screening and Assessment will increase.
    CDC will continue to use the information collected from WISEWOMAN 
awardees to support continuous program monitoring and improvement 
activities, evaluation, and assessment of program outcomes. The overall 
program evaluation is designed to demonstrate how WISEWOMAN can obtain 
more complete health data on vulnerable populations, promote public 
education about disease incidence, cardiovascular disease risk-factors, 
health promotion, to improve the availability of screening and 
diagnostic services for under-served women, ensure the quality of 
services provided to under-served women, and develop strategies for 
improved interventions. Participation in this information collection is 
required as a condition of cooperative agreement funding. There are no 
costs to respondents other than their time.
    The total annualized burden hours are 1,344.
