[60Day-19-0612; Docket No. CDC-2018-0111]
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 effort to reduce public burden and maximize the
utility of government information, invites the general public and other
Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed and/or
continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed
information collection project on the Well-Integrated Screening and
Evaluation for Women Across the Nation (WISEWOMAN) program. The
WISEWOMAN program is designed to prevent, detect, and control,
hypertension and other cardiovascular disease risk factors through
healthy behavior support services, which are tailored for individual
and group behavior change.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before February 25,
2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2018-
0111 by any of the following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, 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. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments
to Regulations.gov.
Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking
portal (regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the address listed above.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan
and instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection
Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton

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 reinstatement of existing collection
of information, and each reinstatement of previously approved
information collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for
approval. To comply with this requirement, we are publishing this
notice of a proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
4. 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
submissions of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the
Nation (WISEWOMAN) (OMB No. 0920-0612, Exp. 12/31/2018)--
Reinstatement--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The WISEWOMAN program sponsored by the CDC, provides services to
low income, uninsured, or underinsured women aged 40-64. The WISEWOMAN
program is designed to prevent, detect, and control hypertension and
other CVD risk factors through healthy behavior support services which
are tailored for individual and group behavior change. The WISEWOMAN
program provides services to women who are jointly enrolled in the
National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP),
which is also administered by CDC.
The WISEWOMAN program is administered by state health departments
and tribal programs. In 2018, new five-year cooperative agreements will
be awarded under Funding Opportunity Announcement DP18-1816, subject to
the availability of funds. CDC collects two types of information from
WISEWOMAN awardees. The WISEWOMAN awardee submits an electronic data
file to CDC twice per year. The Minimum Data Elements (MDE) file
contains data using a unique identifier with client-level information
about cardiovascular disease risk factors, types of healthy behavior
support services for participants served by the program. The estimated
burden per response for the MDE file is 24 hours. The Annual Progress
Report provides a narrative summary of each awardee's objectives and
the activities undertaken to meet program goals. The estimated burden
per response is 16 hours.
There are no changes to the information collected. CDC will
continue to use the information collected from WISEWOMAN awardees to
support program monitoring and improvement activities, evaluation, and
assessment of program outcomes. The overall program evaluation helps to
demonstrate program accomplishments and strengthen the evidence for
strategy implementation for improved engagement of underserved
populations. It can also determine whether the identified strategies
and associated activities can be implemented at various levels within a
state or tribal organization. Evaluation is also designed to
demonstrate how WISEWOMAN can obtain cardiovascular disease health
outcome data on at-risk populations, promote public education about
cardiovascular disease risk-factors, and improve the availability of
healthy behavior support services for under-served women.

OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation in this
information collection is required as a condition of cooperative
agreement funding. There are no costs to respondents other than their
time. The total annualized burden hours are 1,344.
