Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review, 21747-21748 [2011-9280]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 74 / Monday, April 18, 2011 / Notices erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery. Abstract: The information collection activity will gamer qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful information, but it will not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: The target population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results. Below we provide AHRQ’s projected average annual estimates for the next three years: Current Actions: New collection of information. Type of Review: New Collection. Affected Public: Individuals and Households, Businesses and VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:25 Apr 15, 2011 Jkt 223001 Organizations, State, Local or Tribal Government. Average Expected Annual Number of Activities: 10. Respondents: 10,900. Annual Responses: 10,900. Frequency of Response: Once per request. Average Minutes per Response: 19. Burden Hours: 3,383. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number. Request for Comments In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, comments on AHRQ’s information collection are requested with regard to any of the following: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of AHRQ healthcare research and healthcare information dissemination functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of AHRQ’s estimate of burden (including hours and costs) of the proposed collection(s) of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information upon the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and included in the Agency’s subsequent request for OMB approval of the proposed information collection. All comments will become a matter of public record. Dated: March, 31 2011. Carolyn M. Clancy, Director.

Proposed Project Development and Evaluation of Eagle Books and Youth Eagle Books for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs)—New—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The development of effective diabetes prevention programs targeting AI/AN youth is a compelling priority in education and public health. AI/AN individuals develop type 2 diabetes at younger ages, experience more years of disease burden and have a high probability of developing diabetesrelated complications. However, research shows that type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed with healthy foods and nutrition, moderate physical activity, and social support. A number of health communication products have been developed specifically for AI/AN youth. These include the Eagle Books, the Youth Books, and the Diabetes Education in Tribal Schools (DETS) curriculum. The Eagle Books are a series of four books that have been incorporated into the lesson plans for the Kindergarten (K) through fourth grades of the DETS curriculum. The materials are a result of a project that engaged eight Tribal Colleges and Universities, NIH, CDC, and IHS to develop culturally-grounded, scientifically sound lessons to promote awareness about diabetes and lifestyle adaptations. CDC is currently developing additional books for Native American youth ages nine to thirteen (the ‘‘Youth Books’’). CDC plans to conduct a descriptive evaluation of the Eagle Books and the DETS curriculum. Data collection will involve discussion groups and in-depth interviews conducted during site visits to 12 selected American Indian communities. Each site visit will consist of: (i) Interviews with up to 3 community health representatives; (ii) Interviews with up to 2 school administrators from a local elementary school and a middle school; (iii) One discussion (focus) group with teachers from a local elementary school and one discussion group with teachers from a E:\FR\FM\18APN1.SGM 18APN1 21748 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 74 / Monday, April 18, 2011 / Notices local middle school; (iv) Two discussion (focus) groups with children: One group with younger children (grades K–1) and one group with older children (grades 2–4); (v) Two discussion (focus) groups with parents: one group with parents of younger children and one group with parents of older children; and (vi) Observational tours of the community. During the site visits, respondents will be asked to provide general feedback about the Eagle Books and how the Eagle Books have affected knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors; how materials currently support or could be used to support other local diabetes prevention efforts; and how the planned Youth Books could support the DETS curriculum. De-identified information will be collected and analyzed by staff from CDC’s Native Diabetes Wellness Program (NDWP), with the assistance of a data collection contractor. Findings will be used to identify ‘‘best practices’’ with regard to implementation and use of the Eagle Books and DETS curriculum; to inform the development of similar materials; and to enhance current and future community outreach and technical assistance efforts aimed at preventing or controlling diabetes in AI/AN youth. Information will be collected in an average of four communities per year over three years. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project

Development and Evaluation of Eagle Books and Youth Eagle Books for
American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs)--New--National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

The development of effective diabetes prevention programs targeting
AI/AN youth is a compelling priority in education and public health.
AI/AN individuals develop type 2 diabetes at younger ages, experience
more years of disease burden and have a high probability of developing
diabetes-related complications. However, research shows that type 2
diabetes can be prevented or delayed with healthy foods and nutrition,
moderate physical activity, and social support. A number of health
communication products have been developed specifically for AI/AN
youth. These include the Eagle Books, the Youth Books, and the Diabetes
Education in Tribal Schools (DETS) curriculum.
The Eagle Books are a series of four books that have been
incorporated into the lesson plans for the Kindergarten (K) through
fourth grades of the DETS curriculum. The materials are a result of a
project that engaged eight Tribal Colleges and Universities, NIH, CDC,
and IHS to develop culturally-grounded, scientifically sound lessons to
promote awareness about diabetes and lifestyle adaptations. CDC is
currently developing additional books for Native American youth ages
nine to thirteen (the ``Youth Books'').
CDC plans to conduct a descriptive evaluation of the Eagle Books
and the DETS curriculum. Data collection will involve discussion groups
and in-depth interviews conducted during site visits to 12 selected
American Indian communities. Each site visit will consist of: (i)
Interviews with up to 3 community health representatives; (ii)
Interviews with up to 2 school administrators from a local elementary
school and a middle school; (iii) One discussion (focus) group with
teachers from a local elementary school and one discussion group with
teachers from a

[[Page 21748]]

local middle school; (iv) Two discussion (focus) groups with children:
One group with younger children (grades K-1) and one group with older
children (grades 2-4); (v) Two discussion (focus) groups with parents:
one group with parents of younger children and one group with parents
of older children; and (vi) Observational tours of the community.
During the site visits, respondents will be asked to provide
general feedback about the Eagle Books and how the Eagle Books have
affected knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors; how materials currently
support or could be used to support other local diabetes prevention
efforts; and how the planned Youth Books could support the DETS
curriculum. De-identified information will be collected and analyzed by
staff from CDC's Native Diabetes Wellness Program (NDWP), with the
assistance of a data collection contractor.
Findings will be used to identify ``best practices'' with regard to
implementation and use of the Eagle Books and DETS curriculum; to
inform the development of similar materials; and to enhance current and
future community outreach and technical assistance efforts aimed at
preventing or controlling diabetes in AI/AN youth.
Information will be collected in an average of four communities per
year over three years. Participation is voluntary and there are no
costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 132.
