Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early 
Detection Program (NBCCEDP) Monitoring Activities to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously 
published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations'' notice on January 26, 2018 to obtain comments from 
the public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive comments related 
to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 
days for public and affected agency comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project.

[[Page 53878]]

The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in 
comments that:
    (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 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Direct written comments 
and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice to the 
Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th 
Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide 
written comments within 30 days of notice publication.

Proposed Project

    National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program 
(NBCCEDP) Monitoring Activities (OMB No. 0920-1046, Exp. 01/31/2018)--
Reinstatement with Change--National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC requests a Reinstatement with Change, of an information 
collection previously approved under OMB Control Number 0920-1046. 
Information collection within the previous OMB approval period 
consisted of an annual grantee survey. Information collection within 
the next OMB approval period will consist of a redesigned survey and a 
new clinic-level data collection. The number of respondents will 
increase from 67 to 70, and the total estimated annualized burden will 
increase from 45 hours to 683 hours.
    In 2014, more than 236,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer, 
and more than 12,000 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer. 
Evidence shows that deaths from both breast and cervical cancers can be 
avoided by increasing screening services among women. However, 
screening is typically underutilized among women who are under- or 
uninsured, have no regular source of healthcare, or who recently 
immigrated to the U.S.
    To improve access to cancer screening, Congress passed the Breast 
and Cervical Cancer Mortality Prevention Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-354), 
which directed CDC to create the National Breast and Cervical Cancer 
Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). The NBCCEDP currently provides 
funding to 70 grantees under ``Cancer Prevention and Control Programs 
for State, Territorial, and Tribal Organizations (DP17-1701).'' The 
purpose of NBCCEDP is to increase breast and cervical cancer screening 
rates among women residing within defined geographical locations (as 
determined by the funded program) who are at or below 250% of the 
federal poverty level; aged 40-64 years for breast cancer services, and 
aged 21-64 years for cervical cancer services; and under- or uninsured.
    The NBCCEDP was significantly redesigned in 2017 to expand its 
focus on direct service provision to include implementation of 
evidence-based interventions (EBIs) intended to increase breast and 
cervical cancer screening at the population level. Based on the 
redesigned NBCCEDP, the information collection plan has also been 
redesigned.
    The proposed information collection includes: (1) An annual NBCCEDP 
Grantee Survey revised to reflect the focus of the redesigned program 
under DP17-1701, and (2) CDC clinic-level data will assess EBI 
implementation and the NBCCEDP's primary outcome of interest--breast 
and cervical screening rates within partner health system clinics--at 
baseline and annually. NBCCEDP grantees will collect and report data 
for all partnering health system clinic sites--an estimated 6 clinics 
per grantee for breast cancer data and 6 clinics per grantee for 
cervical cancer data.
    The proposed information collections will allow CDC to gauge 
progress in meeting NBCCEDP program goals and monitor implementation 
activities, evaluate outcomes, and identify grantee technical 
assistance needs. In addition, findings will inform program improvement 
and help identify successful activities that need to be maintained, 
replicated, or expanded.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is 
required for NBCCEDP grantees. There are no costs to respondents other 
than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 683.
