[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 
Road NE, MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329; phone: 404-639-7570; Email:

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.
