Background and Brief Description
Of cancers affecting both men and
women, Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the
second leading cause of cancer-related
deaths in the United States. Based on
scientific evidence which indicates that
regular screening is effective in reducing
CRC incidence and mortality, regular
CRC screening is now recommended for
adults starting at age 50 and continuing
until age 75 years. Screening tests that
are recommended by the United States
Preventive Services Task Force, and that
may be used alone or in combination,
include fecal occult blood testing
(FOBT), fecal immunochemical testing
(FIT), flexible sigmoidoscopy, and
colonoscopy.
In 2005, CDC established a three-year
demonstration program, subsequently
extended to four years, to screen low-

income individuals 50 years of age and
older who have no health insurance or
inadequate health insurance for CRC.
The five demonstration sites reported
information to CDC including deidentified, patient-level demographic,
screening, diagnostic, treatment,
outcome and cost reimbursement data
(Colorectal Cancer Screening
Demonstration Program, OMB No.
0920–0745, exp. 7/31/2010). The
information was used to assess the
feasibility and cost effectiveness of a
publicly funded screening program,
describe key outcomes, and guide
program expansion.
In 2009, CDC received additional
funding from Congress and established
the expanded Colorectal Cancer Control
Program (CRCCP) to increase screening
rates in the general population through
evidence-based screening provision and
screening promotion activities. All
funded sites provide CRC screening and
follow-up services to low-income men
and women who are underinsured or
uninsured for CRC screening. Funded
sites also plan and implement program
activities that promote CRC screening in
the general population through policy,
systems, community and individual
level interventions. With expanded
CRCCP support, the number of sites
funded to provide CRC screening
services increased from five to 26 and
the original information collection was
revised. Changes incorporated through
the revision process included an
increase in the number of respondents;
simplification of the clinical data
collection based on experience with the
five demonstration program sites;

of an activity-based economic data
collection; and deletion of the term
‘‘Demonstration’’ from the title.
Information currently reported to CDC
includes program-level activity cost
data, and de-identified patient-level
demographic, screening, diagnostic,
treatment and outcome data (Colorectal
Cancer Screening Program, OMB No.
0920–0745, exp. 6/30/2013).
CDC plans to request a three-year
extension of the current approval. No
changes are proposed to the content of
the information collection, reporting
procedures for awardees, or the
estimated burden per respondent.

screening sites will increase from 26 to

Analysis of the National Program of

CDC will use the information
collected from Colorectal Cancer

and evaluate the CRC screening program

outreach strategies to increase

Through this program, funded
awardees will provide CRC screening
services to low-income individuals 50
years of age and older who have no
health insurance or inadequate health
insurance for CRC. On average, each
program awardee is expected to provide
services to 375 individuals per year. Deidentified clinical data elements will be
reported to CDC electronically. In
addition, each awardee will collect and
report program-level activity-based cost
data to CDC through an electronic Cost
Assessment Tool (CAT). The activitybased cost information allows CDC to
monitor individual awardees and

Title: School Readiness Goals and
Head Start Program Functioning.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is proposing a data
collection as part of the ‘‘School
Readiness Goals and Head Start Program
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:01 Jan 15, 2013
Jkt 229001
Functioning’’ research project. The
purpose of this study is to improve
understanding of how local Head Start
and Early Head Start programs define,
measure, and communicate school
readiness goals, and how they use these
goals in program planning to improve
program functioning. ACF is proposing
to use a semi-structured telephone
interview protocol to collect
information from program directors and
other key staff from approximately 60
local grantees and site visit protocols to
collect further qualitative information
through interviews and/or focus groups
with program staff, oversight boards,
key stakeholders, and parents in a
subset of 12 of these grantees. ACF has
contracted with the Urban Institute to
collect and analyze the data gathered in
the telephone interviews and site visits.
Topics to be covered in the telephone
interview and site visit protocols
include: A description of school
readiness goals set by local grantee; the
process used to set school readiness
goals; contextual factors informing

choices made about school readiness
goals (e.g., needs of local children and
families, program and staff
characteristics, and community
characteristics); how programs use and
analyze data about school readiness
goals; how programs report progress on
goals; and how school readiness goals
and data form program planning and
improvement efforts.
Respondents: Head Start and Early
Head Start program directors and
managers closely involved with school
readiness goal setting (e.g. education
services coordinators); others in
leadership positions (e.g. agency
directors, center directors, home-based
services coordinators or assistant
program directors); front-line staff (e.g.
Head Start teachers, Early Head Start
teachers, home visitors, family service
workers, and program specialists);
members of Head Start governing bodies
and local policy councils; liaisons from
local education agencies; and parents
with children in Head Start and Early
Head Start programs.

CDC to monitor individual awardees and compare activity-based costs
