DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [30Day–10–0128] Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of information collection requests under review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639–5960 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written Number of responses per respondent Number of respondents Regulation Background and Brief Description The purpose of the proposed revision is to continue data collection for congenital syphilis case investigations with a revised ‘‘Congenital Syphilis (CS) Case Investigation and Report Form’’ (CDC73.126). The CS Form is currently approved under OMB No. 0920–0128. This request is to extend clearance for 0920–0128 for an additional three years with revisions to the instrument, and decrease in the burden hours. The 3,750 3,750 1 1 Average burden per response (in hours) 15/60 15/60 instrument is revised to exclude ‘‘reporting city’’ and ‘‘resident city’’ information blocks from the CS Form. Reducing congenital syphilis is a national objective in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Report entitled Healthy People 2010 (Vol. I and II). Objective 25–9 of the DHHS document states the goal to ‘‘reduce congenital syphilis to 1 new case per 100,000 live births.’’ In order to meet this national objective, an effective surveillance system for congenital syphilis must be continued to monitor current levels of disease and progress towards the year 2010 objective. These data will also be used to develop intervention strategies and to evaluate ongoing control efforts. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. In addition to modifications to the form, seven reporting areas have stopped using the paper collection form and are now reporting CS data electronically. As a result, the total estimated annualized burden hours have been reduced from 130 to 63. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Form name State Health Departments ..............................

Background and Brief Description CDC received OMB approval (0920– 0818) to collect data for the Cost and Follow-up Assessment of Fall Prevention Programs. This approval expires on 7/31/10. In June 2009, all Matter of Balance programs implemented a new consent form. This form asked participants for permission for CDC to contact them six months after they finished the program to complete a survey. For this reason, we will not begin administering the follow-up survey to Matter of Balance participants until January 2010. At this time we are requesting a three-year extension to collect data. NCIPC seeks to examine cost of implementing each of the three AoA funded fall prevention programs for older adults (Stepping On, Moving for Better Balance and Matter of Balance) and to assess the maintenance of fall prevention behaviors among participants six months after completing the Matter of Balance program. To assess the maintenance of fall prevention behaviors, CDC will conduct telephone interviews of 425 Matter of Balance program participants six months after they have completed the program. The interview will assess their knowledge and self-efficacy related to falls as taught in the course, their activity and exercise levels, and their reported falls both before and after the program. The results of the follow-up assessment will determine the extent to which preventive behaviors learned during the Matter of Balance program are maintained and can continue to reduce fall risk. The cost assessment will calculate the lifecycle cost of the Stepping On, Moving for Better Balance, and Matter of Balance programs. It will also include calculating the investment costs required to implement each program, as well as the ongoing operational costs associated with each program. These costs will be allocated over a defined period of time, depending on the average or standard amount of time these programs continue to operate (standard lifecycle analysis ranges from five to 10 years). As part of the lifecycle cost calculation, these data will allow us to compare program costs and to identify specific cost drivers, cost risks, and unique financial attributes of each program. Local program coordinators for the 200 sites in each of the AoA-funded states will collect the cost data using lifecycle cost spreadsheets that will be returned to CDC for analysis. The results of these studies will support the replication and dissemination of these fall prevention programs and enable them to reach more older adults. The Survey Screen takes 3 minutes, the survey instrument takes forty-five minutes, and the cost tool takes two hours to complete. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annual burden is 248 hours.

Background and Brief Description

    CDC received OMB approval (0920-0818) to collect data for the Cost 
and Follow-up Assessment of Fall Prevention Programs. This approval 
expires on 7/31/10. In June 2009, all Matter of Balance programs 
implemented a new consent form. This form asked participants for 
permission for CDC to contact them six months after they finished the 
program to complete a survey. For this reason, we will not begin 
administering the follow-up survey to Matter of Balance participants 
until January 2010. At this time we are requesting a three-year 
extension to collect data.
    NCIPC seeks to examine cost of implementing each of the three AoA 
funded fall prevention programs for older adults (Stepping On, Moving 
for Better Balance and Matter of Balance) and to assess the maintenance 
of fall prevention behaviors among participants six months after 
completing the Matter of Balance program. To assess the maintenance of 
fall prevention behaviors, CDC will conduct telephone interviews of 425 
Matter of Balance program participants six months after they have 
completed the program. The interview will assess their knowledge and 
self-efficacy related to falls as taught in the course, their activity 
and exercise levels, and their reported falls both before and after the 
program. The results of the follow-up assessment will determine the 
extent to which preventive behaviors learned during the Matter of 
Balance program are maintained and can continue to reduce fall risk. 
The cost assessment will calculate the lifecycle cost of the Stepping 
On, Moving for Better Balance, and Matter of Balance programs. It will 
also include calculating the investment costs required to implement 
each program, as well as the ongoing operational costs associated with 
each program. These costs will be allocated over a defined period of 
time, depending on the average or standard amount of time these 
programs continue to operate (standard lifecycle analysis ranges from 
five to 10 years). As part of the lifecycle cost calculation, these 
data will allow us to compare program costs and to identify specific 
cost drivers, cost risks, and unique financial attributes of each

AoA-funded states will collect the cost data using lifecycle cost 
spreadsheets that will be returned to CDC for analysis. The results of 
these studies will support the replication and dissemination of these 
fall prevention programs and enable them to reach more older adults. 
The Survey Screen takes 3 minutes, the survey instrument takes forty-
five minutes, and the cost tool takes two hours to complete.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annual burden is 248 hours.
