Proposed Project Management Information System for Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs (OMB No. 0920–0841, exp. 3/ 31/2016)—Revision—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description From 2007–2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provided funding to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, seven tribes/tribal organizations, and seven territories/U.S. Pacific Island Jurisdictions through the National Cancer Prevention and Control Program (CDC Funding Opportunity Announcement [FOA] DP07–703). New five-year cooperative agreements were established in June 2012 under FOA DP12–1205 (‘‘Cancer Prevention and Control Program for State, Territorial and Tribal Organizations’’). From 2012– 2015, a subset of 13 awardees received additional funding for demonstration programs to advance cancer control using policy, systems, and environmental change strategies. Since 2010, cancer prevention and control (CPC) awardees have used an electronic management information system (MIS) to submit semi-annual progress reports to CDC (‘‘Management Information System for Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs,’’ OMB No. 0920–0841, exp. 3/31/2016). The progress reports satisfy federal reporting requirements and allow CDC to provide targeted technical assistance to awardees while monitoring their activities and progress. The MIS also provides CDC with the capacity to respond in a timely manner to requests for information from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Congress, and other sources. CDC plans to request a revision of the current MIS-based reporting system. Minor modifications will be made to standardize and streamline data entry; for example, the open-ended text boxes previously used to develop objectives will be replaced with a drop-down menu of evidence-based indicators. The modifications will also make MIS entries and output more user-friendly for CDC staff who use the MIS to monitor and evaluate specific program outcomes. The search function will also be modified to search for these indicators. All 65 DP12–1205 cancer prevention and control awardees will continue to submit semi-annual reports to CDC through the end of the cooperative agreement period. These reports include information about personnel, resources, finances, planning, action plans, and progress. Information will be submitted by the program director for the state, territory, or tribal cancer control program. Awardees will be responsible for verifying their current information and entering new objectives and progress. To minimize respondent burden, information that has not changed does not need to be re-entered into the MIS. The estimated burden for ongoing system maintenance and semiannual reporting is being reduced from three hours per response to two hours per response. CDC anticipates that DP12–1205 will be succeeded in 2017 by a new FOA based on similar objectives and a comparable monitoring and evaluation plan. The burden table includes an annualized, one-time allocation of two hours per response for initial population of the MIS with information that is specific to the new FOA. Due to annualization, this activity is represented in the table as 22 awardees instead of 65 awardees. CDC is considering a change in the frequency of progress reporting, effective with the new FOA. Routine progress reporting is likely to occur once per year instead of twice per year, however, this decision has not been finalized. Therefore, to avoid underestimating total annualized burden, the burden table has been constructed to account for semi-annual reporting throughout the 3-year clearance period. If a decision is made to change the frequency of reporting, CDC will process a Change Request or Revision Request, as needed, to adjust (reduce) total estimated annualized burden. OMB approval will be requested for three years. The total estimated annualized burden for this reporting period will decrease due to a reduction in the estimated burden per response for semi-annual reporting; a reduction in the estimated burden per response for populating the MIS with information specific to the new FOA; and discontinuation of semi-annual reporting for demonstration of program activities. Awardees are required to submit the requested information to CDC as a condition of funding. CDC will use the information submitted by awardees to identify training and technical assistance needs, monitor compliance with cooperative agreement requirements, evaluate progress made in achieving program-specific goals, and obtain information needed to respond to Congressional and other inquiries regarding program activities and effectiveness. All information will be collected electronically. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 304.

Proposed Project

    Management Information System for Comprehensive Cancer Control 
Programs (OMB No. 0920-0841, exp. 3/31/2016)--Revision--National Center 
for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    From 2007-2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC) provided funding to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, 
seven tribes/tribal organizations, and seven territories/U.S. Pacific 
Island Jurisdictions through the National Cancer Prevention and Control 
Program (CDC Funding Opportunity Announcement [FOA] DP07-703). New 
five-year cooperative agreements were established in June 2012 under 
FOA DP12-1205 (``Cancer Prevention and Control Program for State, 
Territorial and Tribal Organizations''). From 2012-2015, a subset of 13 
awardees received additional funding for demonstration programs to 
advance cancer control using policy, systems, and environmental change 
strategies.
    Since 2010, cancer prevention and control (CPC) awardees have used 
an electronic management information system (MIS) to submit semi-annual 
progress reports to CDC (``Management Information System for 
Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs,'' OMB No. 0920-0841, exp. 3/31/
2016). The progress reports satisfy federal reporting requirements and 
allow CDC to provide targeted technical assistance to awardees while 
monitoring their activities and progress. The MIS also provides CDC 
with the capacity to respond in a timely manner to requests for 
information from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), 
Congress, and other sources.
    CDC plans to request a revision of the current MIS-based reporting 
system. Minor modifications will be made to standardize and streamline 
data entry; for example, the open-ended text boxes previously used to 
develop objectives will be replaced with a drop-down menu of evidence-
based indicators. The modifications will also make MIS entries and 
output more user-friendly for CDC staff who use the MIS to monitor and 
evaluate specific program outcomes. The search function will also be 
modified to search for these indicators.
    All 65 DP12-1205 cancer prevention and control awardees will 
continue to submit semi-annual reports to CDC through the end of the 
cooperative agreement period. These reports include information about 
personnel, resources, finances, planning, action plans, and progress. 
Information will be submitted by the program director for the state, 
territory, or tribal cancer control program. Awardees will be 
responsible for verifying their current information and entering new 
objectives and progress. To minimize respondent burden, information 
that has not changed does not need to be re-entered into the MIS. The 
estimated burden for ongoing system maintenance and semi-annual 
reporting is being reduced from three hours per response to two hours 
per response.
    CDC anticipates that DP12-1205 will be succeeded in 2017 by a new 
FOA based on similar objectives and a comparable monitoring and 
evaluation plan. The burden table includes an annualized, one-time 
allocation of two hours per response for initial population of the MIS 
with information that is specific to the new FOA. Due to annualization, 
this activity is represented in the table as 22 awardees instead of 65 
awardees.
    CDC is considering a change in the frequency of progress reporting, 
effective with the new FOA. Routine progress reporting is likely to 
occur once per year instead of twice per year, however, this decision 
has not been finalized. Therefore, to avoid under-estimating total

reporting; a reduction in the estimated burden per response for 
populating the MIS with information specific to the new FOA; and 
discontinuation of semi-annual reporting for demonstration of program 
activities.
    Awardees are required to submit the requested information to CDC as 
a condition of funding. CDC will use the information submitted by 
awardees to identify training and technical assistance needs, monitor 
compliance with cooperative agreement requirements, evaluate progress 
made in achieving program-specific goals, and obtain information needed 
to respond to Congressional and other inquiries regarding program 
activities and effectiveness. All information will be collected 
electronically. There are no costs to respondents other than their
