[60Day-17-0739; Docket No. CDC-2016-0114]


Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice with comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part 
of its continuing efforts to reduce public burden and maximize the 
utility of government information, invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or 
continuous information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comments on the CDC Chronic 
Disease Management Information System (CDMIS). The Management 
Information System is a central repository for the work plans of state 
oral health programs. This includes their goals, objectives, 
performance milestones, indicators, oral health program performance 
activities and budget information.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before March 20, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2016-
0114 by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments.
     Mail: Leroy A. Richardson, Information Collection Review 
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road 
NE., MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. All relevant comments received will be posted 
without change to Regulations.gov, including any personal information 
provided. For access to the docket to read background documents or 
comments received, go to Regulations.gov.
    Please note: All public comments should be submitted through the 
Federal eRulemaking portal (Regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the 
address listed above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires 
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new 
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information 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; (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; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

Proposed Project

    CDC Oral Health Management Information System (OMB Control Number 
0920-0739, expires 5/31/2017)--Revision--Division of Oral Health (DOH), 
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The CDC Division of Oral Health (DOH) works with state health 
departments to improve the oral health of the nation. Targeted efforts 
include building and/or maintaining effective public health capacity 
for the implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of evidence-based 
practices in oral disease prevention and advancement of oral health. 
Through a cooperative agreement program (Program Announcement DP13-
1307), DOH has provided funding to 21 states over a five-year period, 
in which 3 are basic level awardees and 18 are enhanced level. The 
current cooperative agreement went into effect in September 2013 and 
builds on previously funded collaborations involving DOH and state 
programs.
    DOH is currently approved to collect annual progress and activity 
reports from state-based oral health programs. Historically, an 
electronic reporting system has been in place since 2007 and was 
enhanced in 2008 to capture information about grantees' success 
stories. This system, formerly known as the Management Overview for 
Logistics, Analysis, and Reporting (MOLAR) system was retired in 2013-
14. The new cooperative agreement, DP13-1307, was transitioned to the 
enhanced CDMIS platform in Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 to align with the CDC 
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) redesign required for all 
domestic, non-research FOAs. The redesign emphasized evaluation, 
performance measurement, and outcomes. The information collected in 
CDMIS improved CDC's ability to disseminate information about 
successful public health approaches that can be replicated or adapted 
for use in other states.
    The initial data for DP13-1307 was entered into CDMIS when the 
cooperative agreement began. Subsequently, only annual progress reports 
are required for basic and enhanced level awardees. This has resulted 
in no changes in how the information is collected as well as a 
reduction in the burden of information required by awardees. The 
estimated burden for system maintenance and annual reporting is three 
hours for basic level awardees and nine hours for enhanced level.
    The revised method provides a more accurate depiction of burden per 
respondent in comparison to the method presented in previous OMB 
requests for approval, which were based on a long-term average burden 
per response. Even though reports will be submitted to CDC annually, 
states may enter updates into the MIS at any time. CDC uses all 
information collected to monitor awardee activities and to provide any 
technical assistance or follow-up support that may be needed.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation in the 
progress reporting system is a condition of the award for all funded 
state oral health programs.
    All information will be collected electronically and there are no 
costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 171.
