Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review, 57959-57960 [2010-23758]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 184 / Thursday, September 23, 2010 / Notices srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES healthcare is delivered. The public health model’s population-based perspective can be deployed to enhance healthcare-associated infection prevention, particularly given the shifts in healthcare delivery from the acute care (Tier 1) to ambulatory (Tier 2) and other settings. Also, influenza transmission to patients by healthcare personnel is well documented. Healthcare personnel can acquire and transmit influenza from patients or transmit influenza to patients and other staff. Higher vaccination coverage among healthcare personnel has been associated with a lower incidence of healthcare-associated influenza cases. In addition, the proportion of healthcare-associated cases among hospitalized patients decreases as well, suggesting that increased staff vaccination can contribute to the decline in the number of healthcare-associated influenza cases. The Steering Committee has drafted two strategies or modules that address healthcare-associated infection prevention in ambulatory surgical centers and end-stage renal disease facilities. An additional module addresses influenza vaccination of healthcare personnel. Similar to its Tier 1 efforts, Tier 2 healthcare-associated infection reduction strategies expect to be executed through research and guideline development, implementation of national quality improvement initiatives at the provider level, and creation of payment policies that promote infection control and reduction in healthcare facilities. To assist the Steering Committee in obtaining broad input in the development of the three draft modules, HHS, through this request for information (RFI), is seeking comments from stakeholders and the general public on the draft Tier 2 modules. The modules can be found at https:// www.hhs.gov/ophs/initiatives/hai/ actionplan/#tier2. II. Information Request The Office of Healthcare Quality, on behalf of the HHS Steering Committee for the Prevention of HealthcareAssociated Infections, requests input on three drafts: ‘‘Section A: Ambulatory Surgical Centers,’’ ‘‘Section B: End-Stage Renal Disease Facilities,’’ and ‘‘Section C: Influenza Vaccination of Healthcare Personnel.’’ In addition to general comments, the Steering Committee is seeking input on any additional gaps not addressed in the draft strategies. III. Potential Responders HHS invites input from a broad range of individuals and organizations that VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:52 Sep 22, 2010 Jkt 220001 have interests in preventing and reducing healthcare-associated infections. Some examples of these organizations include, but are not limited to the following: —General public —Healthcare, professional, and educational organizations/societies —Caregivers or health system providers (e.g., physicians, physician assistants, nurses, infection preventionists) —State and local public health agencies —Public health organizations —Foundations —Medicaid- and Medicare-related organizations —Insurers and business groups —Collaboratives and consortia When responding, please self-identify with any of the above or other categories (include all that apply) and your name. Anonymous submissions will not be considered. The submission of written materials in response to the RFI should not exceed 10 pages, not including appendices and supplemental documents. Responders may submit other forms of electronic materials to demonstrate or exhibit concepts of their written responses. All comments received before the close of the comment period are available for viewing by the public, including any personally identifiable or confidential business information that is included in a comment.

CDC has learned additional information about violence and risk factors for adolescents in urban, highrisk communities since the original OMB clearance package was submitted. Recent research also has shown that adolescents who live in urban, disadvantaged communities report significantly higher prevalence of some risky behaviors, including violence, than nationally representative U.S. adolescents (Swahn & Bossarte, 2009). To assess whether Safe Dates should be modified for urban, high-risk adolescents, CDC requests OMB approval to conduct focus groups with 1 10/60 250 950 Proposed Project Evaluation of Safe Dates Project— (OMB No. 0920–0783 exp. 6/30/2011)— Revision—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 4 1 1 2 10/60 30/60 students and interviews with teachers at urban schools in the 2010–2011 school year. Data collection staff will use new interview guides designed for this purpose. The data collection will require participation from teachers at eight schools who delivered the Safe Dates program and students at one school who received the program. Qualitative data will be collected through student focus groups and teacher interviews. Students will complete a participant profile form to capture basic demographic information. Approximately 40 students at one school will participate in focus groups. Two focus groups will consist of 8–10 boys, and two focus groups will include 8–10 girls. Informed written consent from parents for each student’s participation and informed written assent from tenth graders for their own participation will be obtained. Twenty teachers will participate in interviews. Students and teachers will be asked about their experiences with the Safe Dates program and ideas they may have about adapting the program for urban schools.

for Preventing Obesity--New--Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity 
and Obesity (DNPAO), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The need for prevention and reduction of overweight and obesity is 
compelling. In the U.S., 65% of adults are overweight or obese. Obesity 
contributes to chronic conditions such as hypertension, Type 2 
diabetes, stroke, coronary heart disease, and osteoarthritis. Beyond 
the human costs, economic costs are extreme and are climbing. A report 
on prevention of childhood obesity, prepared by the Institute of 
Medicine in 2007, concluded that there are insufficient studies to 
generate recommendations for best practices in obesity prevention. 
Instead, the report compiles promising practices, including those set 
in communities.
    CDC plans to apply methodology recommended by the CDC Task Force on 
Community Preventive Services to improve the translation and 
dissemination of promising practices into community-based obesity 
prevention programs. Information necessary to this purpose will be 
collected from the general public. Information will be collected 
concerning respondents' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about obesity 
and physical activity; the need for community leaders to encourage 
healthier diets and more physical activity; and opportunities for 
leveraging current community efforts.
    Two hundred fifty respondents will be recruited to participate in a 
series of four, small-group discussions using Voice over Internet 
Protocol. In preparation for the initial discussion, respondents will 
be asked to review a set of briefing materials and a guide to on-line 
discussion groups. In addition, these respondents will complete an on-
line questionnaire on two occasions. The questionnaire is designed to 
measure the relative importance of various proposals for policy and 
environmental change, and whether change has occurred in perceptions of 
roles and responsibilities for obesity prevention. The baseline or 
``pre-test'' questionnaire will be administered before the initial 
discussion group, and the ``post-test'' questionnaire will be 
administered after all discussion groups have been completed.

    Information will also be collected from a comparison group of 700 
respondents who will complete pre- and post-intervention 
questionnaires, but will not participate in the discussion groups or 
review the briefing materials.
    The goal is to identify key issues for community obesity prevention 
programs, to refine promising obesity prevention practices for targeted 
communities, and to facilitate the dissemination of promising practices 
for obesity prevention. OMB approval is requested for one year. There 
are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 2,034.
