Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 and
send comments to Seleda Perryman,
CDC Assistant Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS–D74,
Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail to
omb@cdc.gov.
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; and (d) ways to minimize the
purpose of program improvement. The
results would provide information for
the essential implementation strategies
for effective infrastructure development
as defined by the consensus-based
Association of State and Territorial
Dental Directors’ (ASTDD) 2000 model.
The results would be used to structure
flexible guidelines for infrastructure
development and identify high-priority
activities enabling additional sites to
efficiently plan and implement costeffective oral health improvement
activities. Additionally, this project will
assist in the development of objectives
and indicators of sustainability—the
ability of these demonstration programs
to meet the needs of their constituents
beyond the seed-funding period.
The objectives of the case study
project are to:
b Evaluate the progress made by
programs in achieving national and
program-specific goals and objectives as
well as documenting reach and impact.
b Identify successful and innovative
strategies and public health
interventions to reduce the burden of
oral diseases.
b Disseminate and share information
among all grantees.
b Monitor the use of federal funds
b Evaluate and report on the overall
effectiveness and implementation
characteristics of the grantees.
b Promote positive infrastructure
growth among funded and non-funded
sites.
The above objectives will be attained
through a case-study method using
interviews designed to evaluate
demographic, extent, and culture
climate of infrastructure development
activities. Up to 15 respondents from
each site will be asked to participate in
a one to two hour interview.
Participation is voluntary for funded
sites. 4 of 12 funded states will be asked
to participate in the case-study
interview project. Information obtained
through the case-study interviews will
be supported by documentation already
submitted through routine reporting
practices by all 12 funded states.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
interview.

Proposed Project
Division of Oral Health Program
Evaluation—NEW—National Center for
Chronic Disease and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2000, the Surgeon General
published the first ever report on oral
health in America to alert Americans to
the full meaning of oral health and its
importance to general health and
wellbeing. Included in the framework
for action was the charge to build an
effective oral health infrastructure that
meets the oral health needs of all
Americans and integrates oral health
effectively into overall health planning.
In response, the CDC awarded funds for
cooperative agreements to 12 state
demonstration sites and 1 territory in
two phases for the planning and
implementation of oral health capacity,
infrastructure building and
demonstration delivery programs.
Building infrastructure enables the
demonstration states to develop the
capacity to achieve Healthy People 2010
objectives and reach many more
Americans than a single local program
could reach by sustaining health gains
beyond the funding cycle. Infrastructure
development encompasses many
activities, each of which can be
accomplished in a myriad of methods
by the grantees. To evaluate and
summarize program processes and
accomplishments, a 4-site case study is
proposed. Obtaining uniform data of
performance will allow the construction
of summary reports to assist future sites
and not-yet-funded oral health
infrastructure development programs.
Case study information would describe
the implementation of each site’s
infrastructure model in relation to
environmental context and state
characteristics as well as the impacts of
core infrastructure components for the

National Public Health Performance
Standards Program State Public Health
System Assessment (OMB 0920–0557)—
Revision—Office of the Director (OD),
Centers for Disease Control and

Background and Brief Description
The Office of the Director is proposing
to revise and extend the currently
approved National Public Health
Performance Standards Program State
Public Health System Assessment. The
formal, voluntary data collection that
assesses the capacity of state public
health systems to deliver the essential

services of public health. Electronic data
submission will be used when state
health departments complete the public
health assessment.
A three-year approval is being sought
with the revised data collection
instrument. The original data collection
instrument has been valuable in
assessing performance and capacity and
identifying areas for improvement. It is
anticipated that the updated data
collection instrument will be
voluntarily used by states for similar
purposes.
From 1998–2002, the CDC National
Public Health Performance Standards
Program convened workgroups with the
National Association of County and City
Health Officials (NACCHO), The
Association of State and Territorial
Health Officials (ASTHO), the National
Association of Local Boards of Health
(NALBOH), the American Public Health
Association (APHA), and the Public
Health Foundation (PHF) to develop
performance standards for public health
systems based on the essential services
of public health. In 2005, CDC
reconvened workgroups with these
same organizations to revise the data
collection instruments, in order to
ensure the standards remain current and
improve user friendliness.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.
