Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted 
the following information collection request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed 
information collection is published to obtain comments from the public 
and affected agencies.
    Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are 
encouraged. Your comments should address any of the following: (a) 
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the 
accuracy of the agencies' estimate of the burden of the proposed 
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; (d) Minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses; and 
(e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to

Proposed Project

    Annual Survey of Colorectal Cancer Control Activities Conducted by 
States and Tribal Organizations--New--National Center for Chronic 
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In July 2009, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 
(CDC's) Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, funded the Colorectal 
Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) for a 5-year period. The purpose of the 
CRCCP is to promote colorectal cancer (CRC) screening to increase 
population-level screening rates to 80% and, subsequently, to reduce 
CRC incidence and mortality. The current awardees are 25 states and 4 
tribal organizations.
    The CRCCP includes two program components: (1) CRC screening of 
low-income, uninsured and underinsured people (screening provision) and 
(2) implementation of interventions to increase population-level 
screening rates (screening promotion).
    As a comprehensive, organized screening program, the CRCCP supports 
activities including program management, partnership development, 
public education and targeted outreach, screening and diagnostic 
services, patient navigation, quality assurance and quality 
improvement, professional development, data management and utilization, 
and program monitoring and evaluation. For clinical service delivery, 
grantees fund health care providers in their state/territory/tribe to 
deliver colorectal cancer screening, diagnostic evaluation, and 
treatment referrals for those diagnosed with cancer.
    An annual survey of CRCCP grantees was fielded from 2011-2013 
through the

[[Page 12179]]

Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network. The survey was found to 
be useful by CDC and the grantees (which received feedback reports). 
For example, after the each survey administration, CDC was able to 
tailor sessions at the Program Director's meeting to the needs of 
grantees that had been expressed during last year's information 
collection. DCPC has decided to continue the data collection, and is 
being supported through the National Association of Chronic Disease 
Directors. CDC's proposed survey builds on previous information 
collections conducted from 2011-2013 through the CPCRN.
    Questions are of various types including dichotomous and multiple 
response. All information is to be collected electronically through the 
web-based survey. The estimated burden per response is 75 minutes.
    This assessment will enable CDC to gauge its progress in meeting 
CRCCP program goals, identify implementation activities, monitor 
program transition to efforts aimed at impacting population-based 
screening, identify technical assistance needs of state, tribe and 
territorial health department cancer control programs, and identify 
implementation models with potential to expand and transition to new 
settings to increase program impact and reach. The assessment will 
identify successful activities that should be maintained, replicated, 
or expanded as well as provide insight into areas that need 
improvement.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is 
voluntary for CRCCP awardees and there are no costs to respondents 
other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 
36.
