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 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Send written comments 
to CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 
20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Written comments should be received 
within 30 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Using Traditional Foods and Sustainable Ecological Approaches for 
Health Promotion and Diabetes Prevention in American Indian/Alaska 
Native Communities (OMB No. 0920-0889, exp. 6/30/2014)--Revision--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In 2008, the CDC's Native Diabetes Wellness Program (NDWP), in 
consultation with American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribal elders, 
issued a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) entitled, ``Using 
Traditional Foods and Sustainable Ecological Approaches for Health 
Promotion and Diabetes Prevention in American Indian/Alaska Native 
Communities.'' The Traditional Foods program was designed to build on 
what is known about traditional ways in order to inform culturally 
relevant, contemporary approaches to diabetes prevention for AI/AN 
communities. The program supports activities that enhance or re-
introduce indigenous foods and practices drawn from each grantee's 
landscape, history, and culture. Example activities include the 
cultivation of community gardens, organization of local farmers' 
markets, and the dissemination of culturally appropriate health 
messages through storytelling, audio and video recordings, and printed 
materials. In addition, the program promotes physical activity 
initiatives, provides social support for healthy lifestyles, and 
supports collaboration with other agencies and programs.
    Seventeen (17) tribal organizations received cooperative agreement 
funding under the initial FOA. Sixteen tribal organizations applied for 
a one-year extension that ends September 30, 2014.
    CDC currently collects information from awardees about the 
activities supported with Traditional Foods funding. Each awardee 
submits a shared data elements (SDE) report to CDC through a Web-based 
interface. Information has been collected twice per year, in spring and 
fall. CDC anticipates that the spring 2014 report will be submitted to 
CDC under the current OMB clearance (OMB No. 0920-0889, exp. 6/30/
2014). In order to receive a final report in the fall of 2014, CDC is 
requesting a six-month continuation of OMB approval, through 
approximately December 31, 2014. Because of the variety of food- and 
lifestyle-related programs that take place in the late spring, summer, 
and early fall, CDC wants to ensure complete and accurate reporting of 
awardee activities conducted the final months of cooperative agreement 
funding.
    There are no proposed changes to the data collection instrument, 
data collection methodology, or the estimated burden per response. The 
SDE will continue to be submitted to CDC using Survey Monkey, an 
electronic Web-based interface. The estimated burden per response is 
two hours. Each grantee will receive a personalized advance 
notification letter, followed by an email with a link to the Survey 
Monkey site. Changes to be implemented in this Revision request 
include: 1) A reduction in the number of respondents, from 17 to 16, 2) 
a change in the frequency of reporting (only one SDE report will be 
received during the six-month extension period), and 3) discontinuation 
of the one-time retrospective data collection that was part of the 
initial three-year clearance request.
    CDC will continue to use the SDE reports to compile a systematic, 
quantifiable inventory of activities, products, and outcomes associated 
with the Traditional Foods program. The SDE also allow CDC to analyze 
aggregate data for improved technical assistance and overall program 
improvement, reporting, and identification of outcomes; allow CDC and 
grantees to create a comprehensive inventory/resource library of 
diabetes primary prevention ideas and approaches for AI/AN communities 
and identify emerging best practices; and improve dissemination of 
success stories.
    Respondents will be 16 Tribes and Tribal organizations that receive 
funding through the Traditional Foods program. Participation in this 
information collection is required for Traditional Foods program 
awardees. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
    The total estimated annualized burden hours are 32.
