Proposed Project [30Day–17–0739] Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed information collection is CDC Oral Health Management Information System (OMB Control Number 0920–0739, expiration date 5/ 31/2017)—Reinstatement with Change. Division of Oral Health (DOH), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The CDC works with state health departments to improve the oral health of the nation. Targeted efforts include building and/or maintaining an effective public health capacity for the implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of evidence-based practices in oral health disease prevention and advancement of oral health. Through a cooperative agreement program (Program Announcement DP13–1307), CDC has provided funding to 21 states over a 5year period. This cooperative agreement went into effect in September 2013 and builds upon previously funded collaborations between CDC and statebased oral health programs. Currently, CDC does not have approval to collect annual progress and activity reports from state-based oral health programs using the Chronic Disease Management Information System (CDMIS). The information collected in the Management Information System (MIS) improves CDC’s ability to disseminate information about successful public health approaches that are potentially replicable and adaptable for use in other states. CDC requests a reinstatement with change to continue collecting information for two additional years. The estimated burden decreased from 255 to 171 hours as programs no longer have to repeat the initial entry of administrative data after the first year. The estimated burden for system maintenance and annual reporting is three hours for Basic-level awardees. The estimated burden for system maintenance and annual reporting is nine hours for Enhanced-level awardees. State awardees submit reports to CDC annually; however, states may enter updates in the MIS at any time. CDC collects all information electronically and uses this information to monitor awardee activities and to provide any needed technical assistance or follow-up support. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 171. asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN OF HOURS Number of respondents Type of respondents Form name Program Awardees Basic Level .....................

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 OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described below. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

Background and Brief Description Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the extent and nature of illness and disability of the population of the United States. The annual National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a major source of general statistics on the health of the U.S. population and has been in the field continuously since 1957. This voluntary and confidential householdbased survey collects demographic and health-related information from a nationally-representative sample of households and noninstitutionalized, civilian persons throughout the country. NHIS data have long been used by government, academic, and private researchers to evaluate both general health and specific issues, such as smoking, diabetes, health care coverage, and access to health care. The survey is also a leading source of data for the Congressionally-mandated ‘‘Health US’’ and related publications, as well as the single most important source of statistics to track progress toward Departmental health objectives. The 2018 NHIS questionnaire remains largely unchanged from its 2017 version, with the exception of new supplements that are being added on asthma and cancer control. These supplements replace those from 2017 on receipt of culturally and linguistically appropriate health care services, epilepsy, cognitive disability, complementary health, hepatitis B/C screening, vision, and heart disease and stroke prevention. Continuing from 2017 are questions about access to and utilization of care and barriers to care, chronic pain, diabetes, disability and functioning, family food security, ABCS of heart disease and stroke prevention, immunizations, smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes, and children’s mental health. In addition, in the last quarter of 2018, a portion of the regular 2018 NHIS sample will be used to carry out a dress rehearsal and systems test of the redesigned NHIS questionnaire that is scheduled for launch in January 2019. The redesigned questionnaire revises the NHIS both in terms of content and E:\FR\FM\21AUN1.SGM 21AUN1
