DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Notice of Interest Rate on Overdue
Debts
Section 30.18 of the Department of
Health and Human Services’ claims
collection regulations (45 CFR part 30)
provides that the Secretary shall charge
an annual rate of interest, which is
determined and fixed by the Secretary
of the Treasury after considering private
consumer rates of interest on the date
that the Department of Health and
Human Services becomes entitled to
recovery. The rate cannot be lower than
the Department of Treasury’s current
value of funds rate or the applicable rate
determined from the ‘‘Schedule of
Certified Interest Rates with Range of
Maturities’’ unless the Secretary waives
interest in whole or part, or a different
rate is prescribed by statute, contract, or
repayment agreement. The Secretary of
the Treasury may revise this rate
quarterly. The Department of Health and
Human Services publishes this rate in
the Federal Register.
The current rate of 103⁄4%, as fixed by
the Secretary of the Treasury, is certified
for the quarter ended September 30,
2010. This interest rate is effective until
the Secretary of the Treasury notifies the
Department of Health and Human
Services of any change.
Dated: December 9, 2010.

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
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC or by fax to (202) 395–5806. Written
comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Economic Analysis of the National
Breast and Cervical Cancer Early
Detection Program—Revision—Division
of Cancer Prevention and Control,
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC administers the National Breast
and Cervical Cancer Early Detection
Program (NBCCEDP), the largest
organized cancer screening program in
the United States. The NBCCEDP
provides critical breast and cervical
cancer screening services to uninsured
and underserved low-income women in
all 50 states, the District of Columbia,
five U.S. territories, and 12 American
Indian/Alaska Native organizations. The
program provides breast and cervical
cancer screening for eligible women
who participate in the program as well
as diagnostic procedures for women
who have abnormal findings. During the
past decade, the NBCCEDP has provided
over 9.2 million breast and cervical
cancer screening and diagnostic exams
to over 3.7 million low-income women.
Those who are 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 received OMB approval
to collect one year of activity-based
economic cost data from NBCCEDP
grantees. In 2009, CDC received OMB
approval to collect two additional years
of cost data for FY09 and FY10 (OMB
E:\FR\FM\21DEN1.SGM
21DEN1
80056
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 244 / Tuesday, December 21, 2010 / Notices
No. 0920–0776, exp. 03/31/2011).
Respondents are the 68 programs
participating in the NBCCEDP.
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. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
440.

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 stressassociated physical health effects.
