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 Assessment of Technical Assistance and 
Training Approaches to Accelerate Comprehensive Cancer Control Outcomes 
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 December 6, 2019 to 
obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received one 
comment 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. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. 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

    Assessment of Technical Assistance and Training Approaches to 
Accelerate Comprehensive Cancer Control Outcomes (OMB Control No. 0920-
1193, Exp. 7/31/2019)--Reinstatement with Change--National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, 
and health care costs for cancer care are expected to rise to $158 
billion by 2020. Addressing this public health problem requires primary 
prevention, early detection and treatment, support for cancer 
survivors, and a reduction in health disparities. Providing support to 
state, tribal, territorial and local organizations to implement 
evidence-based strategies has the potential to impact population-level 
cancer outcomes and reduce the burden of cancer.
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National 
Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) has been a primary funder 
for state and community-based cancer control interventions since its 
inception in the late 1990s. The program supports states and 
communities in developing a comprehensive approach to cancer prevention 
and control that includes supporting an infrastructure for state, 
local, and population-based interventions and multi-sectoral 
partnerships and coalitions. Currently, NCCCP supports 66 cancer 
control program grantees including programs in all 50 states, the 
District of Columbia, and in a number of tribes, tribal organizations, 
and U.S. Associated Pacific Islands/territories.
    In striving to build capacity and maximize the impact of CDC's 
funded programs, CDC has focused on developing and implementing 
innovative programs to enhance training and technical assistance (TTA) 
delivered to NCCCP awardees. CDC funds two awardees under a cooperative 
agreement--Provision of Technical Assistance and Training to Assure 
Comprehensive Cancer Control Outcomes (DP18-1805). DP18-1805 awardees 
are charged with developing and delivering high-quality TTA for NCCCP 
funded programs, coalition members, and partners focused on improving 
implementation of evidence-based strategies for cancer prevention and 
control. The TTA activities DP18-1805 awardees implement include (1) 
conduct of needs assessment, (2) develop framework for building CCC 
capacity, (3) coordinate and collaborate with existing partners, (4) 
develop a TTA plan, (5) implement a TTA plan and conduct performance 
monitoring and continuous quality improvement; and (6) conduct a 
comprehensive evaluation of TTA.
    CDC proposes to conduct an assessment of DP18-1805 awardees to: (1) 
Document the nature of the TTA provided by DP18-1805 awardees and the 
extent to which the cooperative agreement was able to achieve planned 
short-term outcomes; and (2) identify the extent to which DP18-1805 TTA 
efforts contributed to NCCCP funded programs' achievement in program 
outcomes. There are no other data collection efforts currently underway 
to assess implementation or perceived effectiveness of TTA under DP18-
1805.
    This information collection request will involve two complementary 
data collection efforts: (1) Case studies of DP18-1805 awardees 
(consisting of interviews with DP18-1805 TTA provider program managers/
directors, DP18-1805 TTA provider evaluators, and DP18-1805 TTA 
provider partners) and (2) a cross-sectional web-based survey 
administered to NCCCP program directors and staff, NCCCP coalition 
members, and NCCCP partners. The case studies will be used to explore 
how DP18-1805 awardees are implementing their respective cooperative 
agreements and administering TTA to NCCCP awardees; the factors that 
affect the implementation of specific TTA components; and the extent to 
which they were able to achieve planned short-term outcomes. The web-
based survey will inform CDC's understanding of the reach of DP18-1805 
TTA efforts; elicit information from NCCCP programs and coalitions 
about the TTA received, including type, dosage, frequency and format; 
and assess the perceptions of the effectiveness of the TTA.
    CDC will use findings from the assessment to inform development of 
future TTA efforts to more effectively and efficiently support NCCCP's 
partner organizations. OMB approval is requested for three years. 
Participation is voluntary and respondents will not receive incentives 
for participation. There are no costs to respondents other than their 
time. The total estimated annualized burden is 51 hours.
