The plan for surveying key
stakeholders described here represents a
large component of the overall project
evaluation plan. The study will be
conducted in collaboration with a
consultant, Judith L. Johnson, PhD,
under a CDC task order with the McKing
Consulting Corporation. Dr. Johnson
and McKing Consulting Corporation
worked with CDC on study design, and
will collect data for the study, conduct
data analyses, and develop written
reports of results.
The purpose of this study is to collect
information on the value and impact of
the EGAPP products developed and
disseminated (e.g., evidence reports,
recommendations) by surveying
members of key stakeholder groups
considered by project advisors to have
the most immediate need and interest in
EGAPP products. The four key
stakeholder groups are healthcare
providers, healthcare payers and
purchasers, policy makers (e.g., medical
professional organizations, healthcare
policy organizations), as well as targeted
consumer groups and Web site visitors.
Healthcare providers/payers have
expressed interest in evidence-based
information on emerging genetic tests,
and will receive the first surveys about
six months after the release of the first
evidence reports and EGAPP Working
Group recommendations; these groups
will be surveyed again one year later.
Policy makers, consumers, and
healthcare purchasers are likely to
identify and be impacted by information
developed by EGAPP over a somewhat
longer timeline. Therefore, these groups
will be surveyed twelve months after
the first products are released, and
surveyed again one year later. During
two specified periods of time one year
apart, individuals accessing the EGAPP
website will be given the option to
participate in an EGAPP survey.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
448.52.

The Division of Diabetes Translation
(DDT) within the National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), has implemented
a Management Information System
(MIS) and federally sponsored data
collection requirement for all CDC
funded Diabetes Prevention and Control

cause of death in the United States,
contributing to more than 224,000
deaths each year. An estimated 14.6
million people in the United States have
been diagnosed with diabetes and an

undiagnosed diabetes. The Division of
Diabetes Translation provides funding
to health departments of States and
territories to develop, implement, and
evaluate systems-based Diabetes
Prevention and Control Programs
(DPCPs). DPCPs are population-based,
public health programs that design,
implement and evaluate public health
prevention and control strategies that
improve access to and quality of care for
all, and reach communities most
impacted by the burden of diabetes (e.g.,
racial/ethnic minority populations, the
elderly, rural dwellers and the
economically disadvantaged). Support
for these programs is a cornerstone of
the DDT’s strategy for reducing the
burden of diabetes throughout the
nation. The Diabetes Control Program is
authorized under sections 301 and
317(k) of the Public Health Service Act
[42 U.S.C. 241 and 247b(k)].
In accordance with the original OMB
approval (0920–0479) and the first
extension (August 14, 2003) for this
project, this requested revision will
continue to expand and enhance the use
of the technical reporting capacity of the
MIS for 3 years. The MIS is a Web-
E:\FR\FM\08FEN1.SGM
08FEN1
5974
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 26 / Thursday, February 8, 2007 / Notices
based, password access protected
repository/technical reporting system
that replaces an archaic paper reporting
system. The MIS allows the accurate,
uniform, and complete collection of
diabetes program progress information
using the Internet.
The number of hours that DPCPs
users spend to maintain and use the
MIS has increased compared to the
initial baseline period. This increase in
data collection burden does not directly
translate into a greater reporting burden;
however, it facilitates better monitoring
and tracking of program activities in
real-time and helps create an
organizational memory. Consequently,
diabetes control programs are using the
MIS to a great extent as an integral part
of their program compared to previous
years. DPCPs add updates about their
work plans and other activities into the
System on an ongoing basis. The hourburden estimates include the time for
reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and
completing and reviewing the collection
of information. Based on input provided
by a representative sample for DPCPs,
the total annualized response burden is
expected to increase from 4 to 96 hours,
changing the total burden hours from
236 to 5,664. Even though there has
been an increase in the burden hours
the number of responses remains at one
(1), because the DPCPs are only required
to report annually to CDC.
The MIS has improved upon the old
data collection system by:
• Improving accountability.
• Shortening the information cycle.
• Eliminating non-standard reporting.
• Minimizing unnecessary
duplication of data collection and entry.
• Reducing the reporting burden on
small state organizations.
• Using plain, coherent, and
unambiguous terminology that is
understandable to respondents.
• Implementing a consistent system
for progress reporting and record
keeping processes.
• Identifying the retention periods for
record keeping requirements.
• Utilizing modern information
technology for data collection and
transfer.
• Significantly reducing the amount
of paper reports that diabetes prevention
and control programs are required to
submit.
The MIS also allows CDC to more
rapidly respond to outside inquiries
concerning a specific diabetes control
activity occurring in the state diabetes
prevention and control programs. The
data collection requirement has
formalized the format and the content of
diabetes data reported from the DPCPs
and provides an electronic means for
efficient collection and transmission to
the CDC headquarters.
The MIS has facilitated the staff’s
ability at CDC to fulfill its obligations
under the cooperative agreements; to
monitor, evaluate, and compare
individual programs; and to assess and
report aggregate information regarding
the overall effectiveness of the DCP
program. It has also supported DDT’s
broader mission of reducing the burden
of diabetes by enabling DDT staff to
more effectively identify the strengths
and weaknesses of individual DPCPs
and to disseminate information related
to successful public health interventions
implemented by these organizations to
prevent and control diabetes.
Implementation of the MIS has
provided for efficient collection of statelevel diabetes program data.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
5,664.
