To request more information on the below proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 404–639–7570 or send comments to Leroy A. Richardson, 1600 Clifton Road, MS–D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Written comments should be received within 60 days of this notice. (the ‘‘VP Program’’) to coordinate and integrate efforts in high-risk communities involving CDC, national organizations, and community partners. Through the VP Program, six national organizations received cooperative agreements to assist a total of 18 communities with planning, implementing, and evaluating community-based diabetes control programs. Each VP awardee is required to use the community change framework to guide their work with three communities. CDC proposes to collect information to learn more about how the community change approach is working in communities that are significantly impacted by factors that influence the disproportionate burden of diabetes in vulnerable populations, such as low income, limited education, limited access to health care, and a physical environment that does not promote health. Semi-structured telephone interviews will be conducted with key personnel associated with each national organization (awardee) and each community site. One project coordinator and one consultant at each of the six VP grantee organizations (n=12) will be asked to participate in an interview of 1.5 hours in length. In addition, an interview of approximately 1.5 hours will be conducted with one community partner or one coalition member at each community site (n=18) and one site coordinator at each community site (n=18) over a two-month period. The interviews will allow CDC to explore capacity building and support strategies used by the awardees to facilitate community change, and provide insight into the facilitators and barriers experienced by the program stakeholders in addressing diabetes in their communities. OMB approval is requested for one year. Data collection, management, and analysis will be conducted by a contractor working on behalf of CDC. Participation in the interviews is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. Proposed Project A Comprehensive Assessment of the National Program to Eliminate Diabetes Related Health Disparities in Vulnerable Populations—New—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Diabetes affects over 29 million people in the United States, is the sixth leading cause of death in the country, and can cause serious health complications including heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, and lowerextremity amputations. The overall prevalence of diabetes in the U.S. is > 9%, however, higher rates of type 2 diabetes and its complications exist in particular subgroups of the population. These subgroups include adults ages 60 years and older, racial and ethnic minority groups (e.g., African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, American Indians, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, and some Asian Americans), people with low socioeconomic status (SES), and rural populations. Population subgroups that are not well integrated into the health care system because of ethnic, cultural, economic, or geographic characteristics, and that may not receive adequate health care, are considered vulnerable populations. In an effort to reduce diabetes-related disparities, CDC’s Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT) aims to concentrate efforts where the greatest impact can be achieved for populations with the greatest burden or risk of diabetes.

Proposed Project

    A Comprehensive Assessment of the National Program to Eliminate 
Diabetes Related Health Disparities in Vulnerable Populations--New--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Diabetes affects over 29 million people in the United States, is 
the sixth leading cause of death in the country, and can cause serious 
health complications including heart disease, blindness, kidney 
failure, and lower-extremity amputations. The overall prevalence of 
diabetes in the U.S. is > 9%, however, higher rates of type 2 diabetes 
and its complications exist in particular subgroups of the population. 
These subgroups include adults ages 60 years and older, racial and 
ethnic minority groups (e.g., African Americans, Hispanic/Latino 
Americans, American Indians, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific 
Islanders, and some Asian Americans), people with low socioeconomic 
status (SES), and rural populations. Population subgroups that are not 
well integrated into the health care system because of ethnic, 
cultural, economic, or geographic characteristics, and that may not 
receive adequate health care, are considered vulnerable populations.
    In an effort to reduce diabetes-related disparities, CDC's Division 
of Diabetes Translation (DDT) aims to concentrate efforts where the 
greatest impact can be achieved for populations with the greatest 
burden or risk of diabetes. DDT established the National Program to 
Eliminate Diabetes Related Health Disparities in Vulnerable Populations 
(the ``VP Program'') to coordinate and integrate efforts in high-risk 
communities involving CDC, national organizations, and community 
partners. Through the VP Program, six national organizations received 
cooperative agreements to assist a total of 18 communities with 
planning, implementing, and evaluating community-based diabetes control 
programs. Each VP awardee is required to use the community change 
framework to guide their work with three communities.
    CDC proposes to collect information to learn more about how the 
community change approach is working in communities that are 
significantly impacted by factors that influence the disproportionate 
burden of diabetes in vulnerable populations, such as low income, 
limited education, limited access to health care, and a physical 
environment that does not promote health.
    Semi-structured telephone interviews will be conducted with key 
personnel associated with each national organization (awardee) and each 
community site. One project coordinator and one consultant at each of 
the six VP grantee organizations (n=12) will be asked to participate in 
an interview of 1.5 hours in length. In addition, an interview of 
approximately 1.5 hours will be conducted with one community partner or 
one coalition member at each community site (n=18) and one site 
coordinator at each community site (n=18) over a two-month period. The 
interviews will allow CDC to explore capacity building and support 
strategies used by the awardees to facilitate community change, and 
provide insight into the facilitators and barriers experienced by the 
program stakeholders in addressing diabetes in their communities.
    OMB approval is requested for one year. Data collection, 
management, and analysis will be conducted by a contractor working on 
behalf of CDC. Participation in the interviews is voluntary and there 
are no costs to respondents other than their time.
