Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review, 71173-71174 [E6-20855]

Download as PDF 71173 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 236 / Friday, December 8, 2006 / Notices that ‘‘not later than 6 months after the completion of such evaluations, submit a report to the Congress describing the findings made as a result of the evaluations.’’ In compliance with the PHS Act, AoA developed a new State data collection protocol that will require future ADDGS state grantees (those funded starting in FY 2007) to transmit annual data information to AoA reported to the states by the project partners. Many of the elements for the ADDGS Data Program Report are the same as those collected for Older Americans Act Title III and Title VII programs administered by AoA. To ensure inclusion of essential information the ADDGS Project Officer first contacted all current ADDGS grantees to find out what type of information they are already collecting. Then, the ADDGS Project Officer solicited information on key data elements from experts familiar with the previous ADDGS Program evaluation. Following this input, modifications were made to the data collection tool and input was solicited from all ADDGS state Project Directors and their project partners. Twenty-three (23) of thirtyeight (38) states, approximately 60% responded to the request for feedback. Again, modifications were made to fine tune the data collection tool into a format that would minimize burden on state grantees. Finally, ten (10) ADDGS Project Directors participated in a telephone focus group. The ten Project Directors were selected based on the detail of their responses to the original request for feedback. The result of this input is the proposed data collection tool and accompanying definition of terms. AoA is aware that different states have different capabilities in terms of data collection. Thus, it is understood that following the approval of the proposed ADDGS data collection tool, AoA will need to work with ADDGS grantees to ensure easy access to a reporting system as well as offer regular training to state grantees to ensure minimal burden. AoA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: 950 hours. Dated: December 5, 2006. Josefina G. Carbonell, Assistant Secretary for Aging. [FR Doc.

Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through its Office of Workforce and Career Development (OWCD) and other Centers, Institutes, and Offices offers training activities on public health topics to professionals worldwide. Employees of hospitals, universities, medical centers, laboratories, state and federal agencies, and state and local health departments apply for training in an effort to learn up-to-date public health practices. CDC’s training activities include laboratory training, classroom study, online training, and distance learning activities. The ‘‘National Laboratory Training Network Registration Form’’ (paper and electronic forms) and the ‘‘CDC Training and Continuing Education New Participant Registration Form’’ (electronic form) are official application forms used for training activities conducted by CDC. CDC form 32.1, ‘‘National Laboratory Training Network Registration Form’’, is used for all laboratory field training. The ‘‘CDC Training and Continuing Education New Participant Registration Form’’ is completed by health practitioners seeking to register for training available through the CDC’s online registration system. CDC was granted OMB approval to use these forms through December 31, 2006, and is now requesting OMB approval for an additional three years. These forms in various versions have been used by CDC to collect data for the past 16 years. The information requested on the forms is used to grant public health professionals the continuing education credits they need to maintain their licenses and certification required by their professions. This information is also needed to create a transcript or summary of training completed at the participant’s request. In addition, the forms are also needed to generate management reports and to maintain training statistics. These reports assist CDC in the management of its training programs, such as, identifying training needs, designing courses, selecting locations for courses, evaluating programs, and conducting impact analysis. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden is 3332 hours.
