Jkt 229001
Under the authority of the Public
Health Service Act, CDC is seeking a
three-year extension of OMB approval
for the Asthma Information Reporting
System (AIRS) information collection.
In 1999, the CDC initiated its National
Asthma Control Program, a populationbased public health approach to address
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the burden of asthma. The program
supports the goals and objectives of
‘‘Healthy People 2020’’ for asthma and
is based on the public health principles
of surveillance, partnerships, and
interventions. Through AIRS, the
information collection request has and
will continue to provide NCEH with
routine information about the activities
and performance of the state and
territorial grantees funded under the
National Asthma Control Program
https://www.cdc.gov/asthma/nacp.htm.
The primary purpose of the National
Asthma Control Program is to develop
program capacity to address asthma
from a public health perspective to
bring about: (1) A focus on asthmarelated activity within states; (2) an
increased understanding of asthmarelated data and its application to
program planning and evaluation
through the development and
maintenance of an ongoing asthma
surveillance system; (3) an increased
recognition, within the public health
structure of states, of the potential to use
a public health approach to reduce the
burden of asthma; (4) linkages of state
health agencies to other agencies and
organizations addressing asthma in the
population; and (5) implementation of
interventions to achieve positive health
impacts, such as reducing the number of
deaths, hospitalizations, emergency
department visits, school or work days
missed, and limitations on activity due
to asthma.
Prior to the implementation of AIRS,
data were collected on a semi-annual
basis from state asthma control
programs as part of regular reporting of
cooperative agreement activities. States
reported information such as progressto-date on accomplishing intended
objectives, programmatic changes,
changes to staffing or management, and
budgetary information.
As implemented since 2010, the AIRS
management information system is
comprised of multiple components that
enable the electronic reporting of three
types of data/information from state
asthma control programs: (1)
Information that is currently collected
as part of regular programmatic
reporting, (2) Aggregate level reports of
surveillance data on long-term program
outcomes, and (3) Specific data
indicative of progress made on
partnerships, surveillance,
interventions, and evaluation.
Regular reporting of this information
remains a requirement of the current
cooperative agreement mechanism
utilized to fund state asthma control
programs. States are asked to submit
interim and year-end progress report
information into AIRS, thus this type of
E:\FR\FM\25APN1.SGM
25APN1
24423
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 80 / Thursday, April 25, 2013 / Notices
programmatic information on activities
and objectives will continue to be
collected twice per year.
The National Asthma Control Program
at CDC has access to and analyzes
national-level asthma surveillance data
(https://www.cdc.gov/asthma/
asthmadata.htm). With the exception of
data from the Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System (BRFSS), state level
analyses cannot be performed.
Therefore, as part of AIRS, state asthma
control programs submit aggregate
surveillance data to allow calculation of
asthma surveillance indicators across all
funded states (where data are available)
in a standardized manner. Data requests
through this system regularly include:
Hospital discharges (with asthma as first
listed diagnosis), and emergency
department visits (with asthma as first
listed diagnosis). Under AIRS,
participating states annually submit this
information to the AIRS system in
conjunction with an end-of-year report
describing state activities that meet
project objectives described above.
National and state asthma
surveillance data provide information
useful to examine progress on long-term
outcomes of state asthma programs. To
identify appropriate indicators of
program implementation and short-term
outcomes for AIRS, CDC previously
convened and facilitated workgroups
comprised of state asthma control
program representatives to generated
specific questions to collect data on key
features of state asthma control
programs: Partnerships, surveillance,
interventions, and evaluation.
With technical assistance provided by
NCEH staff, AIRS has provided states
with uniform data reporting methods
and linkages to other states’ asthma
programs and data. Thus, AIRS has
saved state resources and staff time
when they embark on asthma activities
similar to those being done elsewhere.
Also, the AIRS system has been
similarly helpful in linking states
together on occasions when a given state
seeks to report their results at national
meetings or publish their findings and
program results in scholarly journals.
For example, with CDC staff, three state
programs co-presented on a panel
regarding evaluations of their asthma
partnerships at the November, 2012
American Evaluation Association’s
Evaluation 2012 conference.
In addition, CDC staff have regularly
made requests from AIRS to obtain
standardized summaries of state
programs regarding such activities as
the number of states meeting staffing
requirements, number and timeliness of
state strategic evaluation plans, topics
for individual evaluation selected by
states, types and targets of interventions,
and use of asthma surveillance data in
state programs.
Furthermore, access to standardized
AIRS surveillance and programmatic
data allows CDC to provide timely and
accurate responses to the public and
Congress regarding the NCEH asthma
program (e.g., how many states have
asthma interventions targeting schools,
how many children are treated in
emergency departments, etc.).
There will be no cost for respondents,
other than their time, to participate in
AIRS. Based on the program’s
evaluation of past performance, it was
noted that the hours for the interim
report should be increased from 2 to 4
hours and those of the end of year be
decreased from 6 to 4 hours; however,
total burden hours remain at 8 hours per
year per respondent. The total estimated
annual burden hours are 288.

Title: Child Support Noncustodial

collection activity as part of the Child
Support Noncustodial Parent
Employment Demonstration (CSPED). In
October 2012, OCSE issued grants to
eight state child support agencies to
provide employment, parenting, and
child support services to noncustodial
parents who are having difficulty
meeting their child support obligation.
The overall objective of the CSPED
evaluation is to document and evaluate
the effectiveness of the approaches
taken by these eight CSPED grantees.
This evaluation will yield information
about effective strategies for improving
child support payments by providing
noncustodial parents employment and
other services through child support
programs. It will generate extensive
information on how these programs
operated, what they cost, the effects the
programs had, and whether the benefits
of the programs exceed their costs. The
information gathered will be critical to
informing decisions related to future

investments in child support-led

The CSPED evaluation will include
the following two interconnected
components or ‘‘studies’’:
1. Implementation and Cost Study.
The goal of the implementation and cost
study is to provide a detailed
description of the programs—how they
are implemented, their participants, the
contexts in which they are operated,
their promising practices, and their
costs. The detailed descriptions will
assist in interpreting program impacts,
identifying program features and
conditions necessary for effective
program replication or improvement,
and carefully documenting the costs of
delivering these services. Key activities
of the implementation and cost study
will include: (1) Conducting semistructured interviews with program staff
