models, each community articulates
goals, objectives, and related activities;
tracks whether goals and objectives are
met, ongoing, or revised; and evaluates
all program activities. This information
is then entered into the REACH
Information Network (REACH IN).
REACH IN is a customized Internetbased support system that allows
REACH 2010 grantees to perform remote
data entry and retrieval of data.
This support system is designed to
create on-demand graphs and reports of
grantees’ activities and
accomplishments, monitor progress
toward the achievement of goals and
objectives, and share and synthesize
information across grantees’ activities.
Both quantitative and qualitative
analyses can be performed. These
analyses relate primarily to three stages
of the REACH 2010 logic model:
Capacity building, targeted actions
(interventions), and community and
systems change and change among
change agents. Users are supported with
technical assistance and training,
covering the usage of the system from a
content/project goals perspective, and
technical operations.
The annualized estimated burden is
based on 42 respondents, including 40
currently funded grantees and two that
were funded previously who retain
access to the system. It is estimated that
they each use the system four times a
year to enter data, each data entry taking
about 30 minutes. There are no costs to
respondents except their time to
participate.

Racial and Ethnic Approaches to

currently funds forty local coalitions to
establish community based programs
and culturally appropriate interventions
to eliminate racial and ethnic health
disparities. Two previously funded
grantees also retain access to the system.
Communities served by REACH 2010
include: African American, American
Indian, Hispanic American, Asian
American, and Pacific Islander. These
communities can select among infant
mortality, deficits in breast and cervical
cancer screening and management,
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, HIV/
AIDS, and deficits in childhood and
adult immunizations to be the focus of
their interventions. Guided by logic

National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS) 2007–2009, (OMB No. 0920–
0214)—Revision—National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k)
authorizes that the Secretary of Health
and Human Services (DHHS), 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 is a major source of general
tinnitus). These supplements are
sponsored by the National Center on
Complementary and Alternative
Medicine and the National Institute on
Deafness and Other Communication
Disorders, both parts of the National
Institutes of Health.
In accordance with the 1995 initiative
to increase the integration of surveys
within the Department of Health and
Human Services, respondents to the
NHIS serve as the sampling frame for
the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey
conducted by the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality. The NHIS has
long been used by government,
university, and private researchers to
evaluate both general health and
specific issues, such as cancer, diabetes,
and access to health care. It is a leading
source of data for the Congressionallymandated ‘‘Health US’’ and related
publications, as well as the single most
important source of statistics to track
progress toward the National Health
Promotion and Disease Prevention
Objectives, ‘‘Healthy People 2010.’’
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.
statistics on the health of the U.S.
population and has been in the field
every year since 1957. This householdbased survey collects demographic and
health-related information on a
nationally representative sample of
households throughout the country. The
survey has three modules: The family
module collects information on
everyone in the family; the sample adult
module collects more detailed
information on a randomly selected
adult; and the sample child module
collects information on a randomly
selected child (in households with
children). Information is collected using
computer assisted personal interviews
(CAPI). A core set of data is collected
each year while sponsored supplements
vary from year to year. In addition to the
core data collection, in 2007 there will
be two new supplements, which will
provide additional data on
complementary and alternative
medicine (including questions on topics
such as acupuncture, chiropractic or
osteopathic manipulation, meditation,
natural herbs, and yoga) and on hearing
disorders (such as hearing loss and

Home health agencies (HHAs) are

Medicare beneficiaries under various

The notice is designed to ensure that
beneficiaries receive complete and

Consistent with the decision of the U.S.
