Proposed Project
Capacity Building Assistance (CBA)
Information, Collection, Reporting, and
Monitoring (OMB# 0920–0658)—two
year extension of the currently approved
collection—National Center for HIV and
AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually
Transmitted Disease, Tuberculosis
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this request is to
obtain OMB clearance to extend the
3-year clearance for information
collection to monitor the HIV
prevention activities of CBA provider
grantees funded by CDC to provide HIV
prevention CBA from April, 1 2004
through March 31, 2009. Capacity
building is a key strategy for the
promotion and sustainability of health
prevention programs. Capacity building
generally refers to the skills,
grantees in a timely fashion and
subsequently improve the effectiveness
of CBA program activities and to ensure
that they are aligned with national
goals. The data collected using the CBA
Notification and Completion Forms, and
the Training Events Report are now
being collected via a web portal
(www.cdc.gov/hiv/cba) that has gone
through a Certification and
Accreditation process. Continued
collection of this data in addition to the
Trimester Progress Report will assist
CDC, to aggregate data, and to discern
and refine national goals and objectives
for HIV prevention capacity building.
This information collection process is
also valuable for grantees as a
management tool to routinely examining
CBA program performance by assessing
strengths and weaknesses in line with
the CBA program, performance
indicators, and national objectives.
It is estimated that form A will require
4 hours of preparation by the
respondent, form B will require 15
minutes of preparation by the
respondent, and form C will require 30
minutes of preparation by the
respondent, and form D will require 2
hours of preparation by the respondent.
In aggregate, report preparation requires
approximately 1952 burden hours by
each respondent. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
infrastructure, and resources of
organizations and communities that are
necessary to effect and maintain
behavior change, thus reducing the level
of risk for disease, disability, and injury.
CDC is responsible for monitoring and
evaluating HIV prevention activities
conducted under these cooperative
agreement numbers 04019, 05015, and
06608. Reporting and monitoring forms
have been used to collect information
that assists in enhancing and assuring
quality programming. CDC requires
current information regarding CBA
activities and services supported
through these cooperative agreements.
Therefore, forms such as the Trimester
Interim Progress Report, CBA
Notification Form, CBA Completion
Form, and the CBA Training Events
Report are considered a critical
component of the monitoring/evaluation
process. Because this program
encompasses approximately 32 CBA
provider organizations, there is a
continued need for a standardized
system for reporting individual episodes
of CBA delivered by all CBA provider
grantees. The information collected
from the Trimester Progress Report,
CBA Notification, CBA Completion
Form, and the CBA Training Events
Report, will allow CDC to further
identify problems and technical
assistance needs of CBO, or CBA

Proposed Project
Weekly and Annual Morbidity and
Mortality Reports, 0920–0007–
Extension—National Center for Health
Marketing (NCHM), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is responsible for the
collection and dissemination of
nationally notifiable diseases’
information and for monitoring and
reporting the impact of epidemic
influenza on mortality, Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241).
In 1878, Congress authorized the U.S.
Marine Hospital Service (later renamed
the U.S. Public Health Service) to
collect morbidity reports on cholera,
smallpox, plague, and yellow fever from
U.S. consuls overseas; this information
was to be used for instituting quarantine
measures to prevent the introduction
and spread of these diseases into the
United States. In 1879, a specific
Congressional appropriation was made
for the collection and publication of
reports of these notifiable diseases.
Congress expanded the authority for
Epidemiologists (CSTE) for the purpose
of determining the diseases that should
be reported by the states to PHS.
Beginning in 1951, national meetings of
CSTE were held every two years until
1974, then annually thereafter.
In 1961, responsibility for the
collection of data on nationally
notifiable diseases and deaths in 122
U.S. cities was transferred from the
National Office of Vital Statistics to
CDC. For over 40 years the Morbidity
and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR)
has consistently served as the CDC
premier communication channel for
disease outbreaks and trends in health
and health behavior. The data collected
for publication in the MMWR provides
information which CDC and State
epidemiologists use to detail and more
effectively interrupt outbreaks.
Reporting also provides the timely
information needed to measure and
demonstrate the impact of changed
immunization laws or a new therapeutic
measure. Users of data include, but are
not limited to, congressional offices,
state and local health agencies, health
care providers, and other health related
groups.
The dissemination of public health
information is accomplished through
the MMWR series of publications. The
publications consist of the MMWR, the
CDC Surveillance Summaries, the
Recommendations and Reports, and the
Annual Summary of Notifiable Diseases.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
survey.
weekly reporting and publication in
1893 to include data from state and
municipal authorities throughout the
United States. To increase the
uniformity of the data, Congress enacted
a law in 1902 directing the Surgeon
General of the Public Health Service
(PHS) to provide forms for the collection
and compilation of data and for the
publication of reports at the national
level.
Reports on notifiable diseases were
received from very few states and cities
prior to 1900, but gradually more states
submitted monthly and annual
summaries. In 1912, state and territorial
health authorities—in conjunction with
PHS—recommended immediate
telegraphic reports of five diseases and
monthly reporting by letter of 10
additional diseases, but it was not until
after 1925 that all states reported
regularly. In 1942, the collection,
compilation, and publication of
morbidity statistics, under the direction
of the Division of Sanitary Reports and
Statistics, PHS, was transferred to the
Division of Public Health Methods,
PHS.
A PHS study in 1948 led to a revision
of the morbidity reporting procedures,
and in 1949 morbidity reporting
activities were transferred to the
National Office of Vital Statistics.
Another committee in PHS presented a
revised plan to the Association of State
and Territorial Health Officers (ASTHO)
at its meeting in Washington, DC,
October 1950. ASTHO authorized a

Title: Tribal TANF (Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families)
Financial Report, Form ACF–196T.
Description: Authority to collect and
report this information is found in the
Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996
(PRWORA), Pub. L. 104–193. Tribal
entities with approved Tribal plans for
implementation of the TANF program
are required by statute to report
financial data. Form ACF–196T
provides for collection of Federal
expenditures data. Failure to collect this
data would seriously compromise the
Administration for Children and
Families’ (ACF) ability to monitor
expenditures and maintain financial
management of the Tribal TANF
program. The financial data collected is
also used to estimate outlays and may
be used to prepare ACF budget
submissions to Congress. Federal policy
requires the strictest controls on funding
requirements, which necessitates review
of documentation in support of Tribal
expenditures for reimbursement.
Comments received from a previous
effort to implement a similar Tribal
TANF report Form ACR–196T were
used to guide ACF in the development
of the updated report form presented
with this submittal.
