Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 15 / Monday, January 26, 2009 / Notices
calculated from a complete census of
cable systems. 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.

meeting will be the first of several meetings

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. The total
