The only way to accurately conclude that the 70/70 test has been met is to have the entire cable industry provide to the Commission the data for all cable systems. Specifically, we will require each cable operator to provide for 2006 and 2007 for each cable system on a zip code basis: (1) The total number of homes the cable operator currently passes; (2) the total number of homes the cable operator currently passes with 36 or more activated channels; (3) the total number of actual subscribers, including all subscribers in multiple dwelling units (MDUs); and (4) the total number of subscribers to systems with 36 or more activated channels. The submitted information will allow the Commission to calculate the 70/70 test for the entire universe of cable systems, which will be more accurate than relying on the available sample statistics. A cable operator may certify to the Commission that it does not possess the requested information for calendar year 2006 and that it is not possible for the operator to compile such data for calendar year 2006. The Commission will provide cable operators that do not possess 2006 data with a certification form to be signed, dated, and returned to the Commission. This form will not impose any additional burden on cable operators. move rapidly into the information age.

Proposed Project Economic Analysis of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) (OMB No. 0920–0776 exp. 4/30/2009)— Revision—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCDDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Background and Brief Description The CDC-funded National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) is the largest organized cancer screening program in the United States. The NBCCEDP provides critical breast and cervical cancer screening services to underserved women through grants to 50 states, the District of Columbia, 4 U.S. territories, and 13 American Indian/Alaska Native organizations. In the past decade, the NBCCEDP has provided over 7.8 million breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic exams to over 3.2 million low-income women. Women diagnosed with cancer through the program are eligible for Medicaid coverage through the Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Act passed by Congress in 2000. In 2008, CDC obtained OMB approval to collect one year of activity-based cost information from all 68 NBCCEDP grantees. With this revision request, CDC proposes to collect two additional, consecutive years of information and to implement a minor change to the data collection instrument, the Cost Assessment Tool (CAT), regarding screening activities supported through non-Federal funds. The additional information will allow CDC to calculate averages over time that reduce year-toyear fluctuations and provide better estimates of activity-based costs. The information is being collected to support activity-based analysis of the costs and cost-effectiveness of the NBCCEDP. The information will be used to assess the costs of various program components, identify factors that impact average cost, perform cost-effectiveness analysis, and to develop a resource allocation tool for ensuring the most appropriate use of limited program resources. The information required to perform an activity-based cost analysis includes: staff and consultant salaries, screening costs, contracts and material costs, provider payments, in-kind contributions, administrative costs, allocation of funds, and staff time devoted to specific program activities. Data will be collected electronically. NBCCEDP grantees currently report information on screening and diagnosis volumes (the effectiveness measures for the program) as part of the Minimum Data Elements (MDE) for the NBCCEDP (OMB 0920–0571, exp. 1/31/2010). Cost information to be collected through the CAT will complement information currently collected through the MDE project. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
