Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call (404) 639–7570 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395–5806. Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice. Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is requesting approval to continue data collection under the Select Agent Distribution Activity (SADA). The purpose of this data collection is to provide a systematic and consistent mechanism to review requests that come to CDC for Select Agents. The term select agents is used to describe a limited group of viruses, bacteria, rickettsia, and toxins that have the potential for use as agents of bioterrorism, inflicting significant morbidity and mortality on susceptible populations. The SADA form is scheduled to expire on 07/31/2014. SADA was originally created for the anticipated large number of requests for select agents by investigators seeking National Institutes of Health grants. The process was established to lessen the burden on CDC Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who would be receiving requests for access to select agents housed within NCEZID. The SADA application is a Material Transfer Agreement that is specific to select agent requests. Although the SADA Office has not received a new application since the last OMB request, they have received several inquiries and provided assistance to both internal SMEs as well as outside requestors. CDC has deposited a variety of strains into the BEI Resources repository and requestors now have the option of requesting materials using this mechanism. However, CDC would like to maintain the ability to process requests if they receive them and is therefore making a request to use the SADA application indefinitely. The number of potential respondents in a given year is unknown. The estimates below are based on if they were to receive requests from 900 respondents. A user fee will be collected to recover costs for materials, handling and shipping (except for public health laboratories). The cost to the respondent will vary based on which agent is requested. The total hour burden is 450 hours. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Type of respondents Form name Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Avg. burden per response (in hrs.)

Proposed Project CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP) (OMB No. 0920–0909, exp. 11/30/2014)—Revision—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Evidence from efficacy and effectiveness research studies has shown that lifestyle modifications leading to weight loss and increased physical activity can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in individuals with prediabetes or those at high risk of developing diabetes. To translate these research findings into practice, section 399V–3 of Public Law 111–148, directed Centers for Disease Control ‘‘to determine eligibility of entities to deliver community-based type 2 diabetes prevention services,’’ monitor and evaluate the services, and provide technical assistance. To this end, CDC’s Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT) established and administers the Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP), which recognizes organizations that deliver diabetes prevention programs according to requirements set forth in the ‘‘Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Recognition Program Standards and Operating Procedures’’ (DPRP Standards). Two levels of recognition are provided: Pending recognition, for new applicants that have submitted an application and meet eligibility criteria defined by the DPRP Standards, and data elements collected: (1) Add fields, if applicable, for contact information for an additional organizational contact and data preparer to the application form. These additional organization contacts are necessary to facilitate communication in light of a large volume of turnover in recognized organizations and to enable DPRP staff to provide technical assistance directly to the data preparer. (2) Add Participant State [of residence] to the evaluation data. This information will allow DPRP to capture the reach of virtual programs and allow for reporting by state or region. (3) Change the Core Course Code to Class Code. This change will allow DPRP to track each one-year lifestyle program when participants move from one participant group to another, even when the change involves a different mode of delivery. (4) Simplify the codes for Participation Prediabetes Determination by reducing the number of required responses from five to three. (5) Discontinue the collection of the Location Code, Lifestyle Coach ID, Session Type and Session ID. Additional changes to the DPRP Standards or DPRP information collection may be requested during the period of the Revision request, as CDC continues discussions with recognized programs and potential applicants and reviews results from ongoing studies. During the period of this Revision, CDC estimates receipt of approximately 350 DPRP application forms per year. The estimated burden per response is one hour. In addition, CDC estimates receipt of semi-annual evaluation data submissions from 1,200 organizations. Evaluation data will be received from a mix of new DPRP applicant organizations as well as previous applicants whose performance is being assessed for compliance with the DPRP Standards. The estimated burden per response is one hour. The estimated burden per response is modest since the information requested for DPRP recognition is routinely collected by most organizations that deliver lifestyle programs. Participation in the DPRP is voluntary, and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. Full recognition, for programs that have demonstrated effectiveness according to DPRP standards. DDT maintains a public registry of these organizations, which can be used by people at high risk of type 2 diabetes, their health care providers, and health payers to locate organizations that offer DPRPrecognized diabetes prevention programs or are in the processing of obtaining recognition through the DPRP. In 2011, CDC received Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to collect information needed to administer the DPRP (CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program, OMB No. 0920–0909, exp. 11/30/2014). Two types of information are collected from organizations seeking DPRP recognition: Application data and evaluation data. The one-time application form can be completed on-line at any time. In addition, organizations submit deidentified process and outcome evaluation data to CDC electronically twice per year. The due dates for these submissions are determined by the date of the organization’s initial application. CDC uses the process and outcome data to monitor and evaluate program effectiveness and to provide targeted technical assistance to applicants. CDC requests an additional three years of OMB approval to continue collecting the information needed to administer the DPRP. Based on experience with the DPRP from 2011– 2014, and feedback from applicant organizations and internal and external partners, CDC plans to revise the DPRP Standards and the associated information collection. A key change relates to incorporation of a new mode of service delivery. Because future programs will be allowed to deliver lifestyle programs in a virtual or electronic mode, DPRP requirements for hour-long sessions and written materials for participants have been dropped. A new program mode data element (inperson, virtual, other) will be added to the DPRP application form to facilitate the identification and evaluation of programs, by mode. This information will also be published in the DPRP registry.

Proposed Project Application of a Web-based Health Survey Tool in Schools—New— National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The mission of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is to promote safety and health at work for all people through research and prevention. The Occupational Safety and Health Act, Public Law 91– 596 (section 20[a] [1]), authorizes NIOSH to conduct research to advance the health and safety of workers. NIOSH is proposing to conduct a health questionnaire of employees in 50 elementary schools in a large school district in the Northeastern United States. According to the 2012 Bureau of Labor Statistics survey, the educational services sector employs approximately 12.9 million workers, with 8.4 million working in elementary and secondary schools. A 2010 analysis of data on U.S. working adults indicated that the educational services sector had one of the highest prevalences of current asthma at 13.1%. In 1995, the Government Accounting Office reported that about 33% of schools in the U.S. needed extensive repair or replacement of one or more buildings, which includes problems related to dampness and mold. A better understanding of school building conditions related to dampness and mold, as well as associated health effects, is essential for the prevention of work-related illness in school staff. NIOSH requests OMB approval to administer an internet-based questionnaire to collect health information on staff from 50 schools within this school district. The survey Total burden (in hr) 2,750 will be conducted concurrently with a field-based environmental survey using a dampness and mold assessment tool, which was developed by NIOSH to collect information on dampness and mold in buildings. NIOSH will collaborate with the school district and local teachers union to recruit a broad range of school staff as participants, including teachers, administrative staff, facilities and maintenance staff, nurses and counselors, and kitchen staff for this study. Results will be used to determine possible relationships between health outcomes and environmental conditions, specifically conditions related to dampness and mold. Results will also help to validate the dampness and mold assessment tool. Overall results will benefit many stakeholders, including school-affiliated and general administrative personnel, facilities and maintenance representatives, building owners, and safety and health professionals charged with the prevention, identification, and remediation of environmental issues when occupant health concerns are raised. NIOSH anticipates that the internetbased questionnaire will begin in the spring of 2014. All participants will be asked to complete the same questionnaire, which will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. All questionnaire results will be stored and analyzed the CDC. The total estimated burden for this one-time collection of data is 1,567 hours.

    CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP) (OMB No. 0920-
0909, exp. 11/30/2014)--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Evidence from efficacy and effectiveness research studies has shown 
that lifestyle modifications leading to weight loss and increased 
physical activity can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in individuals 
with prediabetes or those at high risk of developing diabetes. To 
translate these research findings into practice, section 399V-3 of 
Public Law 111-148, directed Centers for Disease Control ``to determine 
eligibility of entities to deliver community-based type 2 diabetes 
prevention services,'' monitor and evaluate the services, and provide 
technical assistance. To this end, CDC's Division of Diabetes 
Translation (DDT) established and administers the Diabetes Prevention 
Recognition Program (DPRP), which recognizes organizations that deliver 
diabetes prevention programs according to requirements set forth in the 
``Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Recognition Program 
Standards and Operating Procedures'' (DPRP Standards). Two levels of 
recognition are provided: Pending recognition, for new applicants that 
have submitted an application and meet eligibility criteria defined by 
the DPRP Standards, and Full recognition, for programs that have 
demonstrated effectiveness according to DPRP standards. DDT maintains a 
public registry of these organizations, which can be used by people at 
high risk of type 2 diabetes, their health care providers, and health 
payers to locate organizations that offer DPRP-recognized diabetes 
prevention programs or are in the processing of obtaining recognition 
through the DPRP.
    In 2011, CDC received Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
approval to collect information needed to administer the DPRP (CDC 
Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program, OMB No. 0920-0909, exp. 11/30/
2014). Two types of information are collected from organizations 
seeking DPRP recognition: Application data and evaluation data. The 
one-time application form can be completed on-line at any time. In 
addition, organizations submit de-identified process and outcome 
evaluation data to CDC electronically twice per year. The due dates for 
these submissions are determined by the date of the organization's 
initial application. CDC uses the process and outcome data to monitor 
and evaluate program effectiveness and to provide targeted technical 
assistance to applicants.
    CDC requests an additional three years of OMB approval to continue 
collecting the information needed to administer the DPRP. Based on 
experience with the DPRP from 2011-2014, and feedback from applicant 
organizations and internal and external partners, CDC plans to revise 
the DPRP Standards and the associated information collection. A key 
change relates to incorporation of a new mode of service delivery. 
Because future programs will be allowed to deliver lifestyle programs 
in a virtual or electronic mode, DPRP requirements for hour-long 
sessions and written materials for participants have been dropped. A 
new program mode data element (in-person, virtual, other) will be added 
to the DPRP application form to facilitate the identification and 
evaluation of programs, by mode. This information will also be 
published in the DPRP registry. Additionally, CDC plans to initiate the 
following changes in the data elements collected: (1) Add fields, if 
applicable, for contact information for an additional organizational 
contact and data preparer to the application form. These additional 
organization contacts are necessary to facilitate communication in 
light of a large volume of turnover in recognized organizations and to 
enable DPRP staff to provide technical assistance directly to the data 
preparer. (2) Add Participant State [of residence] to the evaluation 
data. This information will allow DPRP to capture the reach of virtual 
programs and allow for reporting by state or region. (3) Change the 
Core Course Code to Class Code. This change will allow DPRP to track 
each one-year lifestyle program when participants move from one 
participant group to another, even when the change involves a different 
mode of delivery. (4) Simplify the codes for Participation Prediabetes 
Determination by reducing the number of required responses from five to 
three. (5) Discontinue the collection of the Location Code, Lifestyle 
Coach ID, Session Type and Session ID.
    Additional changes to the DPRP Standards or DPRP information 
collection may be requested during the period of the Revision request, 
as CDC continues discussions with recognized programs and potential 
applicants and reviews results from ongoing studies.
    During the period of this Revision, CDC estimates receipt of 
approximately 350 DPRP application forms per year. The estimated burden 
per response is one hour. In addition, CDC estimates receipt of semi-
annual evaluation data submissions from 1,200 organizations. Evaluation 
data will be received from a mix of new DPRP applicant organizations as 
well as previous applicants whose performance is being assessed for 
compliance with the DPRP Standards. The estimated burden per response 
is one hour. The estimated burden per response is modest since the 
information requested for DPRP recognition is routinely collected by 
most organizations that deliver lifestyle programs.
    Participation in the DPRP is voluntary, and there are no costs to 
respondents other than their time.
