oral conditions, as well as leading to
nicotine addiction and dependence.
Furthermore, SLT use is not a safe
substitute for cigarette smoking.
Adolescents who use smokeless tobacco
are more likely to become cigarette
smokers.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Office on Smoking
and Health (OSH), has primary
responsibility for the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
smoking and health program. HHS’s
overall goal is to reduce death and
disability resulting from the use of
smokeless tobacco products and other
forms of tobacco through programs of
information, education and research.
The Comprehensive Smokeless
Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986
(CSTHEA, 15 U.S.C. 4401 et seq., Pub.
L. 99–252) requires each person who
manufactures, packages, or imports
smokeless tobacco products to provide
products. Typically, respondents submit
a summary report to CDC with the
ingredient information for multiple
products, or a statement that there are
no changes to their previously
submitted ingredient report.
Respondents may submit the required
information to CDC through a
designated representative.
Ingredient reports for new SLT
products are due at the time of first
importation. Thereafter, ingredient
reports are due annually on March 31.
Information is submitted to OSH by
mailing a written report on the
respondent’s letterhead, by CD, threeinch floppy disk, or thumb drive.
Electronic mail submissions are not
accepted. Upon receipt and verification
of the annual nicotine and ingredient
report, OSH issues a Certificate of
Compliance to the respondent.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (HHS) with a list of ingredients
added to tobacco in the manufacture of
smokeless tobacco products. CSTHEA
further requires submission of the
quantity of nicotine contained in each
smokeless tobacco product. Finally, the
legislation authorizes HHS to undertake
research, and to report to Congress (as
deemed appropriate) discussing the
health effects of these ingredients.
HHS has delegated responsibility for
implementing the required information
collection to CDC’s Office on Smoking
and Health. Respondents are not
required to submit specific forms;
however, they are required to meet
reporting guidelines and to submit the
ingredient report by chemical name and

accepted reporting practices for other

Title: Office of Community Services
(OCS) Community Economic
Development (CED) and Job
Opportunities for Low-Income
Individuals (JOLI) Standard Reporting
Format.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Office of Community
Services (OCS) is collecting key
information about projects funded
through the Community Economic
Development (CED) and Job
Opportunities for Low-Income
Individuals (JOLI) programs. The
legislative requirement for these two
programs is in Title IV of the
Community Opportunities,
Accountability and Training and
Educational Services Act (COATS
Human Services Reauthorization Act) of
October 27, 1998, Public Law 105–285,
section 680(b) as amended. The
Performance Progress Report (PPR) is a
new proposed reporting format that will
collect information concerning the
outcomes and management of CED and
JOLI projects. OCS will use the data to
critically review the overall design and
effectiveness of each program.
The PPR will be administered to all
active grantees of the CED and JOLI
programs. Grantees will be required to
use this reporting tool for their
semiannual reports. The majority of the
questions in this tool were adapted from
a previously approved questionnaire,
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Control Number: 0970–0317.
Questions were also adapted to the
OMB-approved reporting format of the
PPR, specifically forms SF–PPR, SF–
PPR–A, SF–PPR–B, and SF–PPR–E.
Additional changes were made to
improve the clarity and quality of the
data and to eliminate unnecessary
questions. The PPR will replace both the
annual questionnaire and the current
semi-annual reporting format, which
will result in an overall reduction in
burden for the grantees while
significantly improving the quality of
the data collected by OCS.
Respondents: Current CED and JOLI
grantees.

ACTION: Request for Information.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) located
within the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) is seeking public
comment on the development of
guidance concerning Health Risk
Assessment (HRAs). Section 4103 of the
Affordable Care Act (ACA) (Pub. L. 111–
148) requires that a health risk
assessment be included in the annual
wellness visit benefit authorized for
Medicare beneficiaries under the ACA.

for Medicare and Medicaid Services
(CMS), also located within HHS, in the

development of guidance for this type of
assessment. This guidance is also
intended to be useful for HRAs
conducted in other patient populations
such as privately insured populations,
including those persons covered by
employer healthcare plans. Comments
received from this request for
information will be used to inform the
HRA guidance development process.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before January 3, 2011.
Comments received after January 3,
2011 will be considered to the extent
possible.
ADDRESSES: You may submit written
comments to the following address:
Office of Prevention through Healthcare,
Office of the Associate Director for
Policy, Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road, NE.,
Mailstop D–28, Atlanta, Georgia, 30333,
ATTN: Health Risk Assessment
Guidance.
You may also submit written
comments via e-mail to: OPTH@cdc.gov.
Please use ‘‘Health Risk Assessment
Guidance’’ for the subject line.
Submitted comments will be available
for public review from Monday through
Friday, except for legal holidays, from 9
a.m. until 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time,
at 1600 Clifton Road NE., Atlanta,
Georgia 30333. Please call ahead to 1–

representative in the Office of
Prevention through Healthcare to
schedule your visit. Comments will also
be available for viewing at the following
Internet address: https://www.cdc.gov/
policy/opth/.
CDC will make all comments it
receives available to the public without
change, including personal information
you may provide, which includes the
name of the person submitting the
comment or signing the comment on
behalf of an organization, business, or
any such entity. If anyone does not wish
to have this information published, then

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Section 4103 of the Affordable Care
Act (ACA) requires that a health risk
assessment be included in the annual
wellness visit benefit authorized for
Medicare beneficiaries under the ACA.
CDC is collaborating with CMS to
develop guidance for this type of
assessment. This guidance is also

intended to be useful for HRAs
conducted in other patient populations
such as privately insured populations,
including those persons covered by
employer healthcare plans.
Currently there is considerable
variation in available HRAs, with the
majority of assessments created to
support employer-based health and
wellness programs. Several instruments
have been created for use in research
and are not available in the marketplace;
and the scientific rigor of HRA tools is
not always evident. Therefore, the
development of HRA guidance is
essential for effective implementation of
this part of the Medicare wellness visit
and to support broader HRA use within
primary care.
Although comments on any aspect of
the guidance development process will
be accepted, comments are especially
solicited about these areas of emphasis:
Content and Design
• Risk assessment domains—What
are generic elements of any HRA and
what elements must be tailored to
specific populations, particularly those
stratified by age?
• How should literacy and other
cultural appropriateness factors be
factored into the design?
• How should the HRA instrument
support shared decision-making by
provider and patient?
Mode of Administration
• How will individuals access the
HRA (e.g., via kiosk or some other
means in the physician’s office, Internet,
mail-in paper form, other nontraditional healthcare locations, such as,
kiosk in a pharmacy)?
• What are the cultural
appropriateness factors in patient HRA
access?
Primary Care Office Capacity
• What primary care office capacity
(personnel, Information Technology
(IT), etc) is required to utilize HRA data
effectively in support of personalized
prevention planning?
• Are training and technical
assistance necessary for effective
practice utilization of an HRA? What
entity should provide this technical
assistance?
• What are potential or demonstrated
community care transition linkages—
follow-up outside the office by other
providers—that help patients and
providers manage priority risks
identified by the HRA?
• What is the current practice of HRA
in medical practices of various sizes,
particularly those with five or fewer
physicians?
