DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
[60Day-19-19BHC; Docket No. CDC-19-0055]
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 titled EVALUATION OF THE DP18-1815
COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT PROGRAM: IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF AMERICANS
THROUGH PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES AND HEART DISEASE AND
STROKE. The purpose of data collection is to determine CDC-funded
recipients' progress towards using DP18-1815 funds to implement
evidence-based strategies, and to determine how those efforts are
contributing to state level and health system level changes to support
prevention and management of diabetes and heart disease.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before September 3,
2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2019-
0055 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 extension 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
Evaluation of the DP18-1815 Cooperative Agreement Program:
Improving the Health of Americans Through Prevention and Management of
Diabetes and Heart Disease and Stroke--New--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
[[Page 32186]]
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of
Diabetes Translation (DDT) and Division for Heart Disease and Stroke
Prevention (DHDSP) are submitting this new three year information
collection request (ICR) for an evaluation of the recently launched
five-year Cooperative Agreement program CDC-RFA-DP18-1815PPHF18:
Improving the Health of Americans Through Prevention and Management of
Diabetes and Heart Disease and Stroke, hereafter referred to as
``1815''. This cooperative agreement funds all 50 State Health
Departments and the Washington, DC health department (hereafter
referred to as ``HD recipients'') to support investments in
implementing evidence-based strategies to prevent and manage
cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes in high-burden populations/
communities within each state and the District of Columbia. High burden
populations/communities are those affected disproportionately by high
blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, or prediabetes due to
socioeconomic or other characteristics, including access to care, poor
quality of care, or low income. The 1815 program is a collaboration
between DDT and DHDSP and is structured into two program categories
aligning with each Division: Category A focuses on diabetes management
and Type 2 diabetes prevention; Category B focuses on CVD prevention
and management.
This cooperative agreement is a substantial investment of federal
funds. DDT and DHDSP are responsible for the stewardship of these
funds, and they must be able to demonstrate the types of interventions
being implemented and what is being accomplished through the use of
these funds. Thus, throughout the five-year cooperative agreement
period, CDC will work with HD recipients to track the implementation of
the cooperative agreement strategies and evaluate program processes and
outcomes. In order to collect this information, CDC has designed four
overarching components: (1) Category A rapid evaluation of DSMES and
National DPP partner sites, (2) Category B case studies, (3) Category B
cost study, and (4) Category A and B recipient-led evaluations. Each
component consists of data collection mechanisms and tools that are
designed to capture the most relevant information needed to inform the
evaluation effort while placing minimum burden on respondents.
Respondents will include HD recipients, as well as select HD recipient
partner sites, which are organizations that HD recipients are
partnering with in the implementation of the 1815 strategies.
The evaluation of cooperative agreement strategies and activities
conducted by DDT and DHDSP will determine the efficiency,
effectiveness, impact and sustainability of 1815-funded strategies in
the promotion, prevention, and management of diabetes and heart disease
and help identify promising practices that can be replicated and scaled
to better improve health outcomes. In addition, evaluation plays a
critical role in organizational learning, program planning, decision-
making, and measurement of the 1815 strategies. As an action-oriented
process, the evaluation will serve to identify programs that have
positive outcomes, identify those that may need additional technical
assistance support, and highlight the specific activities that make the
biggest contribution to improving diabetes and cardiovascular disease
prevention and management efforts. Without collection of new evaluative
data, CDC will not be able to capture critical information needed to
continuously improve programmatic efforts and clearly demonstrate the
use of federal funds.
