[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 
Road NE, MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329; phone: 404-639-7118; 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

    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.
