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 ``CDC-RFA-DP-23-0002 Healthy Schools Program 
Evaluation'' 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 
11, 2023 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

Proposed Project

    CDC-RFA-DP-23-0002 Healthy Schools Program Evaluation--New--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The proposed project aims to evaluate processes and outcomes of the 
programs of 20 state entities funded by CDC's Division of Adolescent 
and School Health to improve health, academic achievement, and well-
being of students in K-12 schools nationwide. CDC awarded funds through 
cooperative agreement DP23-0002 (2302 Program) to 20 funding recipients 
(states, universities, and a tribal nation) to improve health, academic 
achievement, and well-being of students in K-12 schools. A portion of 
the funding within each state is allocated to one priority local 
education agency (LEA) and its corresponding schools to support the 
implementation of policies, practices, and programs to increase 
physical activity, healthy dietary behaviors, and management of chronic 
health conditions among students. CDC is conducting a mixed-methods 
multi-level evaluation of the 2302 Program and associated outcomes. 
Evaluation findings will allow CDC to help recipients improve their 
programs as they progress over the five-year funding period. A CDC 
evaluation contractor will collect information from relevant funded 
recipients, priority LEAs, schools, and students. Program monitoring 
information will be collected from recipients via a monthly reporting 
tool. Descriptions of the implementation of the program's two 
strategies and nine activities will be collected in years two and four 
via semi-structured, virtual key informant interviews with program 
leaders among funded recipients and priority LEA school health 
personnel to understand successes, barriers, and lessons learned. 
Additionally, two electronic questionnaires will be administered 
annually, starting in year two of the program. One of the 
questionnaires is for school-level leaders in participating schools in 
the 20 priority LEAs focusing on implementation of healthy school 
policies, practices, and programs. The other questionnaire is for 
students in elementary, middle, and high schools (Grades 4-12) in the 
priority LEA's schools focusing on physical activity, dietary 
behaviors, management of chronic health conditions, and wellbeing and 
academic attainment. The evaluation results will help recipients 
improve their programs and aid CDC in understanding and communicating 
the impact of its funding.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 6,900 annual burden 
hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to 
participate.
