The Act required that of the $5 million made available to carry out the national recreational boating safety program each year, $2 million shall be available only to ensure compliance with Chapter 43 of Title 46, U.S. Code—Recreational Vessels. On September 29, 2005, the Sportfishing and Recreational Boating Safety Amendments Act of 2005 was enacted (Pub. L. 109–74; 119 Stat. 2031). This Act increased the funds available to the national recreational boating safety program from $5 million to $5.5 million annually, and stated that ‘‘not less than’’ $2 million shall be available only to ensure compliance with Chapter 43 of Title 46, U.S. Code—Recreational Vessels.

Collection; Comment Request: Revision of the National Diabetes 
Education Program Comprehensive Evaluation Plan

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c) (2)(A) 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public 
comment on proposed data collection projects, the National Institute of 
Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National 
Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish periodic summaries of proposed 
projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and approval. This is a request for a revision to an 
existing approved information collection request.
    Proposed Collection: Title: The National Diabetes Education Program 
(NDEP) Comprehensive Evaluation Plan. Type of Information Collection 
Request: Revision of a currently approved collection (0925-
0552). Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Diabetes 
Education Program is a partnership of the National Institutes of Health 
(NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and more 
than 200 public and private organizations. The longterm goal of the 
NDEP is to reduce the burden of diabetes and pre-diabetes in the United 
States, and its territories, by facilitating the adoption of proven 
strategies to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes and its 
complications. The NDEP objectives are to: (1) Increase awareness and 
knowledge of the seriousness of diabetes, its risk factors, and 
effective strategies for preventing type 2 diabetes and complications 
associated with diabetes; (2) increase the number of people who live 
well with diabetes and effectively manage their disease to prevent or 
delay complications and improve quality of life; (3) decrease the 
number of Americans with undiagnosed diabetes; (4) Among people at risk 
for type 2 diabetes, increase the number who make and sustain effective 
lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes; (5) facilitate efforts to 
improve diabetes-related health care and education, as well as systems 
for delivering care (6) reduce health disparities in populations 
disproportionately burdened by diabetes, and (7) facilitate the 
incorporation of evidence-based research findings into health care 
practices.
    Multiple strategies have been devised to address the NDEP 
objectives. These have been described in the NDEP Strategic Plan and 
include: (1) Promoting and implementing culturally and linguistically-
appropriate diabetes awareness and education campaigns for a wide 
variety of audiences; (2) identifying, disseminating, and supporting 
the adoption of evidence-based, culturally and linguistically-
appropriate tools and resources that support behavior change, improved 
quality of life, and better diabetes outcomes; (3) expanding NDEP reach 
and visibility through collaborations with public, private, and 
nontraditional partners, and use of national, state, and local media, 
traditional and social media, and other relevant channels.; and (4) 
conducting and supporting the evaluation of NDEP resources, promotions, 
and other activities to improve future NDEP initiatives.
    The NDEP evaluation will document the extent to which the NDEP 
program has been implemented, and how successful it has been in meeting 
program objectives. The evaluation relies heavily on data gathered from 
existing national surveys such as National Health and Nutrition 
Examination Survey (NHANES), the National Health Interview Survey 
(NHIS), the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), among 
others for this information. This revision request is continued 
collection of additional primary data from NDEP target audiences on 
some key process and impact measures that are necessary to effectively 
evaluate the program. Continued approval and revision to revise and/or 
add questions is requested for a survey of audiences targeted by the 
National Diabetes Education Program including people at risk for 
diabetes, people with diabetes and their families, and the public.
    Burden Statement: The burden for the collection of information, 
conducted every two to three years (2-3 years) is estimated to average 
0.03 hours per response screening interview with ineligible persons and 
0.25 hours per response for the eligible respondent interview.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Adult individuals.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3759.
    Frequency of Response: Once per respondent.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 575. There are no Capital 
Costs, Operating or Maintenance Costs to report.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in estimate from the 
last ICR renewal.
    Request for Comments: Written comments and/or suggestions from the 
public and affected agencies are invited on one or more of the 
following points: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the function of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) The 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed 
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize 
the burden of the collection of information on those who are to 
respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology.
