Proposed Project
Evaluating the Implementation and
Outcomes of Policy and Environmental
Cancer Control Interventions—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Comprehensive Cancer
Control Program (NCCCP) is
administered by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion, Division of Cancer
Prevention and Control. Through the
NCCCP, 65 awardees receive support
through cooperative agreements (CDC–
RFA–DP12–1205). The current
cooperative agreements maintain core
comprehensive cancer control (CCC)
activities and build on policy, system,
and environmental (PSE) change
strategies that many NCCCP programs
have begun to incorporate into their
program plans and initiatives. Awardees
provide routine progress reports to CDC
which describe their overall objectives
and activities (Management Information
System for Comprehensive Cancer
Control Programs, OMB No. 0920–0841,
exp. 3/31/2016).
In 2010, additional pilot funding was
provided under CDC–RFA–D10–1017 to
13 of the 65 NCCCP awardees (‘‘1017
awardees’’). The additional funds are
intended to increase awardees’ focus on
PSE change strategies relating to cancer
control, and to strengthen collaboration
with both traditional and nontraditional
partners. With additional resources and
structure, CDC hopes that 1017
awardees will achieve greater health
impact through increased skills and
capacity and enhanced interactions with
partners. CDC plans to conduct a new
information collection to assess whether
the 1017 pilot is meeting its goals and
to compare the experiences of NCCCP
programs funded at both levels of
support. The study design includes a
Web-based survey of all 65 CCC funded
programs, administered at two points in
time; a longitudinal case study of 6 of
the 1017 programs involving interviews
with key awardee staff and NCCCP
partners; focus groups with staff who
provide technical assistance related to
the 1017 program; and a one-time
survey of coalition members and
strategic partners who are collaborating
with 1017 awardees.
Information collection activities are
designed to address specific evaluation
questions,such as: Did 1017 cooperative
agreement funding, training and
technical assistance enhance the ability
of grantees to inform PSE change as part
of comprehensive cancer control?; Did
the 1017 cooperative agreement
facilitate a shift towards primary
prevention?; How did 1017 programs
build infrastructure required to develop
an environmental scan, policy agenda,
evaluation plan, and media plans?;
What methods were used by 1017
programs to develop the policy agenda
and media plan?; What key outcomes
were achieved by 1017 programs?; How
did the PSE Workgroups facilitate
implementation and achievement of
PSE change?; and What lessons have
been learned that could inform the
expansion of the 1017 program to the
other NCCCP-funded programs?
Findings will be used to improve
program guidance and direct future
investments in the NCCCP.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
161.

The Laboratory Response Network
(LRN) was established by the
Department of Health and Human
Services, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) in accordance
with Presidential Decision Directive 39,
which outlined national anti-terrorism
policies and assigned specific missions
to Federal departments and agencies.
The LRN’s mission is to maintain an
integrated national and international
network of laboratories that can respond
to acts of biological, chemical, or
radiological terrorism and other public
health emergencies. Federal, State, and
local public health laboratories
voluntarily join the LRN.
The LRN Program Office maintains a
database of information for each
member laboratory that includes contact
information as well as staff and
equipment inventories. However,
semiannually or during emergency
response, the LRN Program Office may
conduct a Special Data Call to obtain
additional information from LRN
Member Laboratories in regards to
biological or chemical terrorism
preparedness. Special Data Calls may be
conducted via queries that are
distributed by broadcast emails or by
survey tools (i.e. Survey Monkey). This
is a request for an extension to this
generic clearance. The only cost to
respondents is their time to respond to
the data call. The total annual burden
hours requested is 400 hours.

comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on ‘‘utilization of health care’’
in the United States. NAMCS NEHRS
has been conducted annually since 2008
as a mail survey supplement under
NAMCS. Questions in NAMCS NEHRS
have been asked in NAMCS starting in
2001. NCHS is seeking OMB approval to
make NAMCS NEHRS as an
independent survey for the next three
years.
The purpose of NEHRS is to measure
progress toward goals for electronic
health records (EHRs) adoption.
NAMCS NEHRS target universe consists

of all non-Federal office-based
physicians (excluding those in the
specialties of anesthesiology, radiology,
and pathology) who are engaged in
direct patient care.
NAMCS NEHRS was initiated as a
mail survey supplement under NAMCS.
NAMCS NEHRS is the principal source
of data on national and state-level EHR
adoption in the United States. In 2008
and 2009, the sample size was 2,000
physicians annually. Starting in 2010,
the annual sample size was increased
five-fold, from 2,000 physicians to
10,302 physicians. The increased
sample size allows for more reliable
national estimates as well as state-level
estimates on EHR adoption without
having to be combined with NAMCS.
For these reasons, it is our intent to have
NEHRS stand as an independent survey,
not as a supplement under NAMCS.
NAMCS NEHRS collects information
on characteristics of physician practices,
the capabilities of EHRs in those
practices, and intent to apply for
meaningful use incentive payments.
These data, together with trend data,
may be used to monitor the adoption of
EHR as well as accessing factors
associated with EHR adoption.
