Information is collected electronically through a web-based Cost Assessment Tool (CAT) and 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. CDC requests OMB approval for a sixmonth extension of the current approval period in order to complete the data collection. Based on our experience with previous cycles of data collection, 20 grantees (30% of the total 68 grantees) will not be able to meet the current data collection deadline of 3/31/ 2011. These programs will complete their fiscal year (FY) closeout process in April or May 2011. As a result, these programs will not be prepared to submit data to CDC until their FY is complete and records have been reconciled. The requested six-month extension period will provide the time they need to complete their FY10 closeout and conduct data quality checks before submitting information to CDC. The requested six-month extension will improve the quality and completeness of information used for planned data analysis, and ensure CDC’s authority to receive late submissions. 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. All information 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. 11/30/2012). 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.

Proposed Project The Division of Behavior Surveillance (DBS) Gulf States Population Survey— New—Public Health Surveillance Program Office (PHSPO), Office of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services (OSELS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description On April 20, 2010, the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico spilling more than 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf. The lives and livelihoods of persons residing in the Gulf coastal communities were affected by this event due to loss of work, disruption in the fishing and tourism industries, and the effect on the physical environment in which they live. An ongoing public health concern following the spill is the effect on the PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 mental and behavioral health of populations living in and around the Gulf region and access to the mental health services required to meet that need. On October 7, 2010 the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) granted emergency clearance (OMB control # 0920–0868, expiration date April 30, 2011) to CDC’s Public Health Surveillance Program Office (PHSPO), Division of Behavioral Surveillance (DBS) to conduct a survey to monitor the mental and behavioral health status of this affected population. Data collection for the DBS Gulf States Population Survey began on December 14, 2010 and will continue monthly for a one-year period. No data was collected from October 2010 to December 2010, because the sampling and data collecting contracts were pending receipt of funding. Using the existing capacity and infrastructure of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), DBS implemented a standalone survey designed to monitor mental and behavioral health indicators in the adult population in selected coastal counties affected by the oil spill. The survey includes health related questions taken from the ongoing BRFSS as well as additional questions taken from standardized scales or from other surveys designed to measure anxiety, depression, and potential stressassociated physical health effects.

Coastal counties within 32 miles of an area where fishing was closed due to the Deepwater Horizon Event were selected for inclusion. These include the following Gulf coast counties: Louisiana: Assumption Parish, Calcasieu Parish, Cameron Parish, Iberia Parish, Jefferson Parish, Jefferson Davis Parish, Lafourche Parish, Orleans Parish, Plaquemines Parish, St. Bernard Parish, St. Charles Parish, St. Mary Parish, St. Tammany Parish, Tangipahoa Parish, Terrebonne Parish, Vermilion Parish. 80057 interviewed. Potential respondents will be notified through an introductory script that participation is voluntary and they will not be compensated for participating. For those who agree to participate, interviews should last approximately 20–25 minutes. Since the OMB emergency clearance for the DBS Gulf States Population Survey expires April 30, 2011, DBS is submitting an information collection request (ICR) for the portion of the data collection (May–December, 2011) that is not covered by the OMB emergency clearance approval. Preliminary data from the survey will be available to SAMHSA and participating states monthly (pending sample size). The final dataset and analyses will be provided to SAMHSA and participating states in January 2012. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP)—New—Division of Diabetes Translation, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Evidence from efficacy and effectiveness research studies has shown that lifestyle modifications leading to weight loss and increased physical activity can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in individuals with PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 prediabetes or those at high risk of developing diabetes. To translate these research findings into practice, lifestyle programs that are effective and affordable need to be widely available and delivered on an ongoing basis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is working to ensure that effective diabetes prevention programs are scalable, sustainable and affordable. To fullfill this mission, CDC is establishing the CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP) as an activity of the National Diabetes Prevention Program, housed in the Division of Diabetes Translation. The DPRP will provide a mechanism for recognizing organizations that deliver effective, community-based type 2 diabetes prevention programs. Information about program recognition status will be available to people at high risk of type 2 diabetes, their health care providers, and health payers. The Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program is authorized under section 399V–3 of Public Law 111–148, which directs CDC ‘‘to determine eligibility of entities to deliver community-based type 2 diabetes prevention services,’’ monitor and evaluate the services, and provide technical assistance.

Proposed Project

    The Division of Behavior Surveillance (DBS) Gulf States Population 
Survey--New--Public Health Surveillance Program Office (PHSPO), Office 
of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services (OSELS), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    On April 20, 2010, the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the 
Gulf of Mexico spilling more than 4.9 million barrels of oil into the 
Gulf. The lives and livelihoods of persons residing in the Gulf coastal 
communities were affected by this event due to loss of work, disruption 
in the fishing and tourism industries, and the effect on the physical 
environment in which they live.
    An ongoing public health concern following the spill is the effect 
on the mental and behavioral health of populations living in and around 
the Gulf region and access to the mental health services required to 
meet that need.
    On October 7, 2010 the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
granted emergency clearance (OMB control  0920-0868, 
expiration date April 30, 2011) to CDC's Public Health Surveillance 
Program Office (PHSPO), Division of Behavioral Surveillance (DBS) to 
conduct a survey to monitor the mental and behavioral health status of 
this affected population. Data collection for the DBS Gulf States 
Population Survey began on December 14, 2010 and will continue monthly 
for a one-year period. No data was collected from October 2010 to 
December 2010, because the sampling and data collecting contracts were 
pending receipt of funding.
    Using the existing capacity and infrastructure of the Behavioral 
Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), DBS implemented a standalone 
survey designed to monitor mental and behavioral health indicators in 
the adult population in selected coastal counties affected by the oil 
spill. The survey includes health related questions taken from the 
ongoing BRFSS as well as additional questions taken from standardized 
scales or from other surveys designed to measure anxiety, depression, 
and potential stress-associated physical health effects.

[[Page 80057]]

    The survey questionnaire was developed by DBS in partnership with 
the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) 
and state public health and mental health departments from Louisiana, 
Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, where the survey is being conducted.
    Coastal counties within 32 miles of an area where fishing was 
closed due to the Deepwater Horizon Event were selected for inclusion. 
These include the following Gulf coast counties:
    Louisiana: Assumption Parish, Calcasieu Parish, Cameron Parish, 
Iberia Parish, Jefferson Parish, Jefferson Davis Parish, Lafourche 
Parish, Orleans Parish, Plaquemines Parish, St. Bernard Parish, St. 
Charles Parish, St. Mary Parish, St. Tammany Parish, Tangipahoa Parish, 
Terrebonne Parish, Vermilion Parish.
    Mississippi: Hancock County, Harrison County, Jackson County.
    Alabama: Baldwin County, Mobile County.
    Florida: Escambia County, Okaloosa County, Santa Rosa County, 
Walton County.

    The objective of the survey is to provide state health and mental 
health departments, SAMHSA, and other appropriate organizations data 
they need to assess the need for mental and behavioral health services 
in the selected counties and to inform the provision of those services.
    The telephone survey will collect data from a random sample of 
households with land-line telephones in the selected counties. 
Approximately 2,500 interviews will be completed each month. Adults 18 
years or older will be asked to take part in the survey, but only one 
adult per household will be interviewed. Potential respondents will be 
notified through an introductory script that participation is voluntary 
and they will not be compensated for participating. For those who agree 
to participate, interviews should last approximately 20-25 minutes.
    Since the OMB emergency clearance for the DBS Gulf States 
Population Survey expires April 30, 2011, DBS is submitting an 
information collection request (ICR) for the portion of the data 
collection (May-December, 2011) that is not covered by the OMB 
emergency clearance approval.
    Preliminary data from the survey will be available to SAMHSA and 
participating states monthly (pending sample size). The final dataset 
and analyses will be provided to SAMHSA and participating states in 
January 2012.
    There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
