Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled the National Diabetes Prevention Program 
(DPP) Introductory Session Project to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a 
``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations'' notice on September 4th, 2019 to obtain comments from 
the public and affected agencies. CDC received three comments related 
to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 
days for public and affected agency comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (a) 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;
    (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    (d) 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 submission of responses; and
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Direct written comments 
and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice to the 
Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th 
Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide 
written comments within 30 days of notice publication.

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's) National 
Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle change program (National DPP LCP) 
focused on helping participants adopt healthier behaviors (e.g., 
improving diet, increasing physical activity, reducing stress) to 
prevent or delay the 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 the effectiveness of 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 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.
