Proposed Project Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant (OMB No. 0920–0106, exp. 8/31/2011)—Revision—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCDDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant program provides awardees with their primary source of flexible funding for health promotion and disease prevention programs. Sixtyone awardees (50 states, the District of Columbia, two American Indian Tribes, and eight U.S. territories) currently receive block grants from CDC in order to address locally-defined public health needs in innovative ways. Block Grants allow awardees to prioritize the use of funds to fill funding gaps in programs that deal with the leading causes of death and disability. Block Grants also improve awardees’ ability to respond rapidly to emerging health issues. CDC currently collects standardized application and performance information from each awardee through a web-based system called the Block Grant Management Information System (BGMIS). As required by the authorizing legislation for the Block Grant program, the BGMIS collects information by the PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 areas described in Healthy People National Health Objectives, and improves adherence to its goals. The BGMIS requires awardees to enter their objectives in SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-based) format, and to use evidence based guidelines and best practices as the basis for public health programs and interventions. Finally, the BGMIS information collection includes a Compliance Review section, which provides feedback to each awardee pertaining to its past reviews. Information will be collected from awardees twice per year, once for the annual Work Plan, and once for the Annual Report. CDC will continue to use the information collected from Block Grant awardees to provide oversight and direction to recipients and to inform CDC management, decision makers, and the general public about PHHS Block Grant allocations, activities, and outcomes. There are no changes to the information being collected during the period of this Revision request, however, there are expected reductions in the estimated burden per response for both the Work Plan and the Annual Report. These reductions are due to changes in the BGMIS, which has been modified to allow pre-population of some fields. Respondents will only need to update information already entered into the system, thus improving the efficiency of reporting and reducing the burden per response. In addition, the guidance documents for both information collections are being revised to improve their usability. All information is collected electronically. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The estimated annualized burden hours are 2,135.

OMB No. 0970–0307. Description From the funds appropriated for the Promoting Safe and Stable Families Program (PSSF), $10 million is reserved annually for each of three grants to facilitate the State Court Improvement Program (CIP) to facilitate court improvement in the handling of child abuse and neglect cases. The Court Improvement Program (CIP) is composed of three grants, the Average burden per response (in hours) 1 1 20 15 basic, data, and training grants, governed by two separate Program Instructions (PIs). The training and data grants are governed by the ‘‘new grant’’ PI and the basic grant is governed by the ‘‘basic grant’’ PI. Current PIs require separate applications and program assessment reports for each grant. Every State applies for at least two of the grants annually and most States apply for all three. As many of the application requirements are the same for all three grants, this results in duplicative work and high degrees of repetition for State courts applying for more than one CIP grant. The purpose of this Program Instruction is to streamline and simplify the application and reporting processes by consolidating the PIs into one single PI and requiring one single, consolidated application package and program assessment report per State court annually. These revisions will satisfy statutory programmatic requirements and reduce both the number of required responses and associated total burden hours for State courts. This new PI also describes programmatic and fiscal provisions and reporting requirements for the grants, specifies the application submittal and approval procedures for the grants for fiscal years 2012 through 2015, and identifies technical resources for use by State courts during the course of the grants. The agency uses the information received to ensure compliance with the statute and provide training and technical assistance to the grantees. Respondents: State Courts.

Proposed Project

    Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant (OMB No. 0920-
0106, exp. 8/31/2011)--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCDDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant program 
provides awardees with their primary source of flexible funding for 
health promotion and disease prevention programs. Sixty-one awardees 
(50 states, the District of Columbia, two American Indian Tribes, and 
eight U.S. territories) currently receive block grants from CDC in 
order to address locally-defined public health needs in innovative 
ways. Block Grants allow awardees to prioritize the use of funds to 
fill funding gaps in programs that deal with the leading causes of 
death and disability. Block Grants also improve awardees' ability to 
respond rapidly to emerging health issues.
    CDC currently collects standardized application and performance 
information from each awardee through a web-based system called the 
Block Grant Management Information System (BGMIS). As required by the 
authorizing legislation for the Block Grant program, the BGMIS collects 
information by the areas described in Healthy People National Health 
Objectives, and improves adherence to its goals. The BGMIS requires 
awardees to enter their objectives in SMART (Specific, Measurable, 
Achievable, Realistic, and Time-based) format, and to use evidence 
based guidelines and best practices as the basis for public health 
programs and interventions. Finally, the BGMIS information collection 
includes a Compliance Review section, which provides feedback to each 
awardee pertaining to its past reviews.
    Information will be collected from awardees twice per year, once 
for the annual Work Plan, and once for the Annual Report. CDC will 
continue to use the information collected from Block Grant awardees to 
provide oversight and direction to recipients and to inform CDC 
management, decision makers, and the general public about PHHS Block 
Grant allocations, activities, and outcomes. There are no changes to 
the information being collected during the period of this Revision 
request, however, there are expected reductions in the estimated burden 
per response for both the Work Plan and the Annual Report. These 
reductions are due to changes in the BGMIS, which has been modified to 
allow pre-population of some fields. Respondents will only need to 
update information already entered into the system, thus improving the 
efficiency of reporting and reducing the burden per response. In 
addition, the guidance documents for both information collections are 
being revised to improve their usability.
    All information is collected electronically. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The estimated annualized burden 
hours are 2,135.
