[60Day-19-19BOI; Docket No. CDC-2019-0074]
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 National Diabetes Prevention
Program (DPP) Introductory Session Project. This information collection
aims to help CDC determine the prevalence and types of introductory
sessions being offered as a recruitment strategy to increase enrollment
in the National Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle change program
(National DPP LCP) (Phase 1: Introductory Session Landscape Assessment)
and to evaluate a behaviorally-focused intervention known as Be Your
Best (BYB) Discovery Session compared with other already occurring
introductory sessions.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before November 4, 2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2019-
0074 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 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
National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) Introductory Session
Project--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National
Diabetes Prevention Program Lifestyle Change Program (National DPP LCP)
is focused on helping participants adopt healthier behaviors (e.g.,
improving diet, increasing physical activity, reducing stress) to
prevent or delay the
[[Page 46537]]
development of type 2 diabetes. This proposed project's primary
purposes are to (1) increase knowledge of recruitment strategies,
specifically introductory sessions, used by CDC-recognized
organizations to increase enrollment in the National DPP LCP (Phase 1),
and (2) evaluate introductory sessions, specifically a CDC-developed
behaviorally-informed introductory session known as the Be Your Best
(BYB) Discovery Session, on enrollment compared with other types of
introductory sessions that organizations currently use (Phase 2).
CDC is requesting OMB approval to collect information needed for
this evaluation. For Phase 1 of this project, the Introductory Session
Landscape Assessment, CDC is seeking approval to disseminate a brief
Landscape Assessment (survey) to all National DPP CDC-recognized
organizations (approximately 1,700) and their affiliate class locations
(up to 540). The survey will initially be disseminated electronically
(web-based survey), and then a hard copy will be mailed to non-
respondents. The overall evaluation objectives of the Introductory
Session Landscape Assessment are to increase knowledge of recruitment
strategies (specifically introductory sessions) used by CDC-recognized
organizations to increase enrollment in LCPs; understand how CDC-
recognized organizations are using introductory sessions (including
session content and delivery); and inform the subsequent Phase 2
Introductory Session Evaluation that will evaluate the BYB Discovery
Session compared with other types of introductory sessions.
For the Phase 2 Introductory Session Evaluation, CDC is seeking
approval to disseminate the following data collection tools: (1) Pre-
Session Survey (to be completed by up to 2,640 introductory session
attendees), (2) Post-Session Survey (to be completed by up to 2,640
introductory session attendees), (3) Registration and Attendance
Tracking Form (to be completed by up to 132 LCP staff), and (4)
Discovery Session Implementation Fidelity Checklist (to be completed by
up to 66 LCP staff). The Pre-Session and Post-Session Surveys will be
distributed as hard copies to introductory session attendees. The BYB
Discovery Session Implementation Fidelity Checklist and the
Registration and Attendance Tracking Form will be designed in Microsoft
Excel and distributed to participating LCP staff using secure FTP
upload for LCP personnel to complete electronically.
Information collected will be analyzed to evaluate the
effectiveness of the BYB Discovery Session intervention in increasing
enrollment in the National DPP LCP compared with already occurring
introductory sessions (i.e., standard care), with a secondary aim of
better understanding how it is implemented and the context of its
implementation. This data collection is important because if the BYB
Discovery Session is determined to be an effective recruitment strategy
compared with other existing introductory sessions, it should be
promoted to maximize the National DPP's potential to reduce type 2
diabetes incidence. CDC requests approval for 1,572 Burden Hours
annually. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
