Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects.
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call 404-639-7570 or
send comments to Leroy Richardson, 1600 Clifton Road, MS D-74, Atlanta,
GA 30333 or send an email to [email protected].
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information
[[Page 20207]]
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Written comments should be received
within 60 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP) (OMB No. 0920-
0909, exp. 11/30/2014)--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Evidence from efficacy and effectiveness research studies has shown
that lifestyle modifications leading to weight loss and increased
physical activity can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in individuals
with prediabetes or those at high risk of developing diabetes. To
translate these research findings into practice, section 399V-3 of
Public Law 111-148, directed Centers for Disease Control ``to determine
eligibility of entities to deliver community-based type 2 diabetes
prevention services,'' monitor and evaluate the services, and provide
technical assistance. To this end, CDC's Division of Diabetes
Translation (DDT) established and administers the Diabetes Prevention
Recognition Program (DPRP), which recognizes organizations that deliver
diabetes prevention programs according to requirements set forth in the
``Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Recognition Program
Standards and Operating Procedures'' (DPRP Standards). Two levels of
recognition are provided: Pending recognition, for new applicants that
have submitted an application and meet eligibility criteria defined by
the DPRP Standards, and Full recognition, for programs that have
demonstrated effectiveness according to DPRP standards. DDT maintains a
public registry of these organizations, which can be used by people at
high risk of type 2 diabetes, their health care providers, and health
payers to locate organizations that offer DPRP-recognized diabetes
prevention programs or are in the processing of obtaining recognition
through the DPRP.
In 2011, CDC received Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to collect information needed to administer the DPRP (CDC
Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program, OMB No. 0920-0909, exp. 11/30/
2014). Two types of information are collected from organizations
seeking DPRP recognition: Application data and evaluation data. The
one-time application form can be completed on-line at any time. In
addition, organizations submit de-identified process and outcome
evaluation data to CDC electronically twice per year. The due dates for
these submissions are determined by the date of the organization's
initial application. CDC uses the process and outcome data to monitor
and evaluate program effectiveness and to provide targeted technical
assistance to applicants.
CDC requests an additional three years of OMB approval to continue
collecting the information needed to administer the DPRP. Based on
experience with the DPRP from 2011-2014, and feedback from applicant
organizations and internal and external partners, CDC plans to revise
the DPRP Standards and the associated information collection. A key
change relates to incorporation of a new mode of service delivery.
Because future programs will be allowed to deliver lifestyle programs
in a virtual or electronic mode, DPRP requirements for hour-long
sessions and written materials for participants have been dropped. A
new program mode data element (in-person, virtual, other) will be added
to the DPRP application form to facilitate the identification and
evaluation of programs, by mode. This information will also be
published in the DPRP registry. Additionally, CDC plans to initiate the
following changes in the data elements collected: (1) Add fields, if
applicable, for contact information for an additional organizational
contact and data preparer to the application form. These additional
organization contacts are necessary to facilitate communication in
light of a large volume of turnover in recognized organizations and to
enable DPRP staff to provide technical assistance directly to the data
preparer. (2) Add Participant State [of residence] to the evaluation
data. This information will allow DPRP to capture the reach of virtual
programs and allow for reporting by state or region. (3) Change the
Core Course Code to Class Code. This change will allow DPRP to track
each one-year lifestyle program when participants move from one
participant group to another, even when the change involves a different
mode of delivery. (4) Simplify the codes for Participation Prediabetes
Determination by reducing the number of required responses from five to
three. (5) Discontinue the collection of the Location Code, Lifestyle
Coach ID, Session Type and Session ID.
Additional changes to the DPRP Standards or DPRP information
collection may be requested during the period of the Revision request,
as CDC continues discussions with recognized programs and potential
applicants and reviews results from ongoing studies.
During the period of this Revision, CDC estimates receipt of
approximately 350 DPRP application forms per year. The estimated burden
per response is one hour. In addition, CDC estimates receipt of semi-
annual evaluation data submissions from 1,200 organizations. Evaluation
data will be received from a mix of new DPRP applicant organizations as
well as previous applicants whose performance is being assessed for
compliance with the DPRP Standards. The estimated burden per response
is one hour. The estimated burden per response is modest since the
information requested for DPRP recognition is routinely collected by
most organizations that deliver lifestyle programs.
Participation in the DPRP is voluntary, and there are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
