Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has submitted the
following information collection request
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for
the proposed information collection is
published to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies.
Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your
comments should address any of the
following: (a) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of the agencies estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) Minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and (e) Assess information
collection costs.

Proposed Project
Testing Act Early Messages and
Materials for ‘‘Learn the Signs. Act
Early.’’—Phase II,—New—National
Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC initiated the ‘‘Learn the
Signs. Act Early.’’ (LTSAE) campaign in
2004 in an effort to improve the
likelihood that children with
developmental disabilities are identified
and connected with appropriate services
at the earliest age possible. To this end,
the campaign’s overall goal has been to
empower parents to ‘‘Act Early’’ if they
have concerns about their child’s
development. Children from families
insured by Medicaid and those from
families with low incomes are at higher
risk for developmental delays and
disabilities, and thus are the target
audience for the campaign.
The study described in this
information collection request seeks to
assess the impact of ‘‘Act Early’’
messages embedded within LTSAE
campaign materials. To achieve this
goal, we will work with our contractor,
Westat, to test revised draft messages
and materials with low-income parents
through focus groups and intercept
interviews administered via the web on
a tablet device. Parents/guardians who
are age 18–55 and who have children
age 5 or younger will recruited from six
primary care practices (3 in the
Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan area
and 3 in the Atlanta, Georgia
metropolitan area) to participate in
focus groups followed by an intercept
interview.
Selected primary care practices will
see children as part of their patient
population and consist of a substantial
number of low income families. Each of
the six selected practices will receive
study promotional materials, including
a poster to hang in the office and
waiting room as well as handouts to
leave at the front desk. These materials
will advertise the focus groups and
outline eligibility criteria.
Parents interested in participating
will be advised to call an 800 number
to be screened and scheduled for a
group discussion (if eligible). The 800
number will be staffed by the Westat
study team who will be responsible for
screening and scheduling.
Representatives from each of the
practices will be provided with brief
‘‘talking points’’ and study FAQs to
refer to if interested parents have any
basic questions about the study. It is
estimated that 80 respondents will have
to be screened in order to recruit 40
participants for the focus groups.
The focus groups will have 10
participants each. Four focus groups
will be conducted in two locations (the
metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Georgia
and Baltimore, Maryland) with a total of
40 participants. Parents/guardians will
be asked to complete an informed
consent, which will take approximately
15 minutes to review and the focus
group discussion using the moderator’s
guide will take 60 minutes to complete.
Both of these focus group activities will
have a total burden of 50 hours.
We plan to conduct a total of 40
intercept interviews. The intercept
interviews will take place in the waiting
rooms or right outside the waiting
rooms. Parents will be recruited as they
are waiting for their appointment. It is
estimated that 80 respondents will have
to be screened in order to recruit 40
participants. Twenty interviews will be
conducted in each of two locations
(Atlanta, Georgia and Baltimore,
Maryland). The intercept interview will
be conducted as a computer-assisted
personal interviewing (CAPI) and will
take each respondent approximately 15
minutes to complete, for an estimated
total burden of 10 hours.
The total estimated burden for this
data collection is 74 hours. There is no
cost to respondents other than their
time.

Proposed Project
Monitoring and Reporting System for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Control
Programs (OMB No. 0920–0870, 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
Tobacco use is the single most
preventable cause of death and disease
in the United States. Tobacco use causes
heart disease and strokes, lung cancer
and many other types of cancer, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, lung
disorders, pregnancy problems, sudden
infant death syndrome, gum disease,
and vision problems. Approximately
480,000 Americans die from tobaccorelated illnesses annually, a higher
number of deaths than the combined
total deaths from HIV/AIDS, alcohol
use, cocaine use, heroin use, homicides,
suicides, motor vehicle crashes, and
fires. For every person who dies from
tobacco use, 20 more people suffer with
at least one serious tobacco-related
illness. There are also severe economic
consequences of tobacco use as the U.S.
spends approximately $280 billion
annually in direct medical expenses and
lost productivity attributable to the
effects of tobacco use.
The National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP) provides
funding to health departments in States,
territories, and the District of Columbia
to implement and evaluate chronic
disease prevention and control
programs, including tobacco control
programs. Currently, CDC has
cooperative agreements to support
tobacco control programs in all 50 states
and the District of Columbia under FOA

DP14–1415, an extension of FOA DP09–
901. These cooperative agreements
technically ended on March 28, 2014,
however a one-year cost extension
(DP14–1415) was granted. Due to the
cost extension, final reports on awardee
activities are due to CDC approximately
90 days after the end of the funding
period (Summer 2015).
In order to maintain continuity in
progress reporting through the end of
the cost extension, CDC requests OMB
approval to continue the collection of
information from tobacco control
program awardees for one year.
Awardees will continue to submit
progress reports through a Web-based
management information system (MIS).
CDC will continue to collect
information about each awardee’s
tobacco control objectives, planning,
activities, resources, partnerships,
strategies, and progress toward meeting
objectives. Awardees will use the
information reported through the
electronic MIS to manage and
coordinate their activities and to
improve their efforts. CDC will use the
information reported through the MIS to
document and monitor each awardee’s
progress and to make adjustments, as
needed, in the type and level of
technical assistance provided to them.
The information collection allows CDC
to oversee the use of federal funds, and
identify and disseminate information
about successful tobacco control
strategies implemented by awardees.
CDC also uses the information to
respond to Congressional and
stakeholder inquiries about awardee
activities, program implementation, and
program impact.
Progress reporting through the MIS is
required for CDC funded awardees.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time. There are no changes to
the content of the information collection
or the estimated burden per response.
The only changes are a decrease in the
number of tobacco control program
respondents from 53 to 51, and a change
in reporting frequency from semi-annual
to annual. As a result, there will be a net
reduction of 330 annualized burden
hours. For the one-year period of this
Revision request, the total estimated
annualized burden hours are 306.
