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 the Chronic Disease Self-
Management Questionnaire. The questionnaire used for this study will 
assess Chronic Disease Self-Management participant health behaviors and 
overall health before and after a six-week workshop.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before June 15, 2021.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2021-
0040 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;
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who

[[Page 20166]]

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; and
    5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project

    Evaluation of the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program in the US 
Affiliated Pacific Islands (OMB Control No. 0920-1265, Exp. 06/30/
2021)--Extension--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    NCCDPHP is evaluating the implementation of Stanford University's 
Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) in the US Affiliated 
Pacific Islands (USAPI). These jurisdictions include American Samoa, 
Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of 
Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Federated States 
of Micronesia.
    The purpose of the evaluation is to understand how CDSMP is being 
implemented in the region, to identify barriers and facilitators to 
implementation, to monitor fidelity to Stanford University's model and 
document adaptations to the curriculum, and to understand the self-
reported effects of the program on program participants. Because this 
is the first time CDSMP is being implemented in the USAPI, we do not 
know if the intervention, which has proven to improve health outcomes 
in many ethnic groups within the United States, will lead to improved 
health outcomes for these communities.
    Collecting this data helps us assess fidelity to and adaptations to 
the intervention and to understand if CDSMP, an evidence-based 
intervention, has the same effect in the US Affiliated Pacific Islands 
as it has in multiple ethnic groups within the United States. CDC 
requests OMB approval for an estimated 95 annual burden hours. There 
are no costs to respondents other than their time.
