[60-Day-22-0612; Docket No. CDC-2022-0074]


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 continuing information 
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This 
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project 
titled Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the 
Nation Reporting System (WISEWOMAN). The WISEWOMAN program is designed 
to prevent, detect, and control, hypertension and other cardiovascular 
disease (CVD) risk factors through services such as health coaching, 
and evidence informed lifestyle programs, which are tailored for 
individual and group behavior change.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before August 1, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2022-
0074 by either of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.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 H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments 
to www.regulations.gov.
    Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking 
portal (www.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 H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329; Telephone: 404-639-7118; 
Email: [email protected].

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

[[Page 33488]]

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 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

    Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the 
Nation (WISEWOMAN) (OMB Control No. 0920-0612, Exp. 8/31/2022)--
Extension--National Center for Chronic Disease and Public Health 
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The WISEWOMAN program, sponsored by the CDC, provides services to 
low income, uninsured, or underinsured women aged 40-64. The WISEWOMAN 
program is designed to prevent, detect, and control hypertension and 
other cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors through healthy 
behavior support services which are tailored for individual and group 
behavior change. The WISEWOMAN program provides services to women who 
are jointly enrolled in the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early 
Detection Program (NBCCEDP), which is also administered by CDC.
    The WISEWOMAN program is administered by state health departments 
and tribal programs. In 2018, a new five-year cooperative agreement was 
awarded under Funding Opportunity Announcement DP18-1816, subject to 
the availability of funds. CDC collects two types of information from 
WISEWOMAN awardees, which is submitted in an electronic data file to 
CDC twice per year. The Minimum Data Elements (MDE) file contains data 
using a unique identifier with client-level information about CVD risk 
factors and types of healthy behavior support services for participants 
served by the program. The estimated burden per response for the MDE 
file is 24 hours. The Annual Progress Report provides a narrative 
summary of each awardee's objectives and the activities undertaken to 
meet program goals. The estimated burden per response is 16 hours.
    There are no changes to the information collected. CDC will 
continue to use the information collected from WISEWOMAN awardees to 
support program monitoring and improvement activities, evaluation, and 
assessment of program outcomes. The overall program evaluation helps to 
demonstrate program accomplishments and strengthen the evidence for 
strategy implementation for improved engagement of underserved 
populations. It can also determine whether the identified strategies 
and associated activities can be implemented at various levels within a 
state or tribal organization. Evaluation is also designed to 
demonstrate how WISEWOMAN can obtain cardiovascular disease health 
outcome data on at-risk populations, promote public education about CVD 
risk-factors, and improve the availability of healthy behavior support 
services for under-served women.
    CDC requests a two-year Extension of this data collection. The 
total estimated annual burden hours are 2,240. Participation in this 
information collection is required as a condition of cooperative 
agreement funding. There are no costs to respondents other than their 
time.
