Colorectal Cancer Screening’’ (CDC–
RFA–DP15–1502). CRCCP grantees
include state governments or bona-fide
agents, universities, and tribal
organizations. The purpose of the new
cooperative agreement program is to
increase CRC screening rates among an
applicant defined target population of
persons 50–75 years of age within a
partner health system serving a defined
geographical area or disparate
population.
The CRCCP was significantly
redesigned in 2015 and has two
components. Under Component 1, all 31
CRCCP grantees receive funding to
support partnerships with health
systems to implement up to four priority
evidence-based interventions (EBIs)
described in the Guide to Community
Preventive Services, as well as other
supporting strategies. Grantees must
implement at least two EBIs in each
partnering health system. Under
Component 2, 6 of the 31 CRCCP
grantees will provide direct screening
and follow-up clinical services for a
limited number of individuals aged 50–
64 in the program’s priority population
who are asymptomatic, at average risk
for CRC, have inadequate or no health
insurance for CRC screening, and are
low income.
Based on the redesigned CRCCP, the
information collection plan has also
been redesigned to address the two
program components. The new
cooperative agreement program (CDC–
RFA–DP15–1502) requires that CDC
monitor and evaluate the CRCCP and
individual grantee performance using
both process and outcome evaluation.
Two forms are proposed. First, the
CRCCP grantee survey was redesigned
to align with new CRCCP goals. The
grantee survey will be submitted to CDC
annually. Second, CDC proposes to
collect clinic-level information to assess
changes in CDC’s primary outcome of
interest, i.e., CRC screening rates within
partner health systems. Each grantee
will complete a clinic-level collection
template once per year. All information
will be reported to CDC electronically.
The information collection will
enable CDC to gauge progress in meeting
CRCCP program goals and to monitor
implementation activities, evaluate
outcomes, and identify grantee technical
assistance needs. In addition, findings
will inform program improvement and
help identify successful activities that
need to be maintained, replicated, or
expanded.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation is required for
CRCCP awardees. In the pilot test for the
CRCCP annual grantee survey, the
average time to complete the instrument
was approximately 45 minutes. In the
pilot test for the CRCCP clinic-level
information collection, the average time
to complete the instrument was
approximately 30 minutes. CDC
estimates an average of 12 responses per
grantee annually to correspond with the
number of health system partners. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 209. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

Report Format, FFY 2017–2019—(OMB
No. 0930–0222)—Revision
Section 1926 of the Public Health
Service Act [42 U.S.C. 300x–26]
stipulates that funding Substance Abuse
Prevention and Treatment Block Grant
(SABG) agreements for alcohol and drug
abuse programs for fiscal year 1994 and
subsequent fiscal years require states to
have in effect a law providing that it is
unlawful for any manufacturer, retailer,
or distributor of tobacco products to sell
or distribute any such product to any
individual under the age of 18. This
section further requires that states
conduct annual, random, unannounced
inspections to ensure compliance with
the law; that the state submit annually
a report describing the results of the
inspections, the activities carried out by
the state to enforce the required law, the
success the state has achieved in
reducing the availability of tobacco
products to individuals under the age of
18, and the strategies to be utilized by
the state for enforcing such law during

the fiscal year for which the grant is
sought.
Before making an award to a State
under the SABG, the Secretary must
make a determination that the state has
maintained compliance with these
requirements. If a determination is made
that the state is not in compliance,
penalties shall be applied. Penalties
ranged from 10 percent of the Block
Grant in applicable year 1 (FFY 1997
SABG Applications) to 40 percent in
applicable year 4 (FFY 2000 SABG
Applications) and subsequent years.
Respondents include the 50 states, the
District of Columbia, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa,
the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, Palau, Micronesia, and
the Marshall Islands.
Regulations that implement this
legislation are at 45 CFR 96.130, are
approved by OMB under control
number 0930–0163, and require that
each state submit an annual Synar
report to the Secretary describing their
progress in complying with section 1926
of the PHS Act. The Synar report, due
December 31 following the fiscal year

for which the state is reporting,
describes the results of the inspections
and the activities carried out by the state
to enforce the required law; the success
the state has achieved in reducing the
availability of tobacco products to
individuals under the age of 18; and the
strategies to be utilized by the state for
enforcing such law during the fiscal
year for which the grant is sought.
SAMHSA’s Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention will request OMB approval
of revisions to the current report format
associated with Section 1926 (42 U.S.C.
300x–26). The report format is not
changing significantly. Any changes in
either formatting or content are being
made to simplify the reporting process
for the states and to clarify the
information as the states report it; both
outcomes will facilitate consistent,
credible, and efficient monitoring of
Synar compliance across the states. All
of the information required in the new
report format is already being collected
by the states. Specific changes are listed
below:
Clarification Changes
To decrease the need for
supplemental questions and reporting,
additional instruction has been
included in 3 portions of the report.
In Section I (Compliance Progress),
the following clarification changes are
being made with respect to the Annual
Synar Report:
Question 1b: Changes to state law—
This question asks about changes in
state laws that impact the state’s
protocol for conducting Synar
inspections and has been edited to
include an option for changes to state
law concerning changes in the
definition of tobacco products. Many
states are changing the definition of
tobacco products in their state laws to
include electronic nicotine delivery
systems, which would impact the types
of products that could be included in
Synar surveys.
Question 1c: Changes to state law—
This question asks about changes to
state youth access to tobacco laws and
has been edited to include an option for
changes to state law concerning
additional product categories to their
youth tobacco access law. While some
states have changed the definition in the
state law to include electronic nicotine
delivery systems, smokeless tobacco,
and other tobacco products, other states
have added these products as additional
product categories in addition to
tobacco products.
Question 2: Describe how the Annual
Synar Report and the state plan were
made public prior to submission of the
ASR. This question asks states to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:09 Mar 30, 2016
Jkt 238001
describe how they make their ASR
public prior to submission. States have
been asked to provide a web address
and the date the ASR was posted to that
web address if they choose to post the
ASR on an agency Web site. The ASR
format has been clarified to provide a
separate text box to enter both of these
pieces of information. The time frame
was corrected per the comments.
Questions 4d–f—Coordination with
Agency that Receives the FDA State
Enforcement Contract—These closeended questions ask the state to list the
agency that is under contract to the FDA
to enforce federal youth access laws, to
describe the relationship between the
state’s Synar program and this agency,
and to identify if the state uses data
from the FDA enforcement inspections
for the Synar survey. This question has
been edited to include skip logic and
response options if a state does not have
a current contract with the FDA.
Questions 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f:
Enforcement Agencies, Evidence of
Enforcement and Frequency of
Enforcement—These questions have
been clarified so it is clear that they
refer to enforcement of state youth
access laws, and not federal or local
youth access laws. In addition, these
questions have been re-ordered (but the
wording has not been changed) to
improve logical flow of the questions. In
addition, question 5e has been edited to
include separate response options to
allow states to describe each of the
additional activities listed in the
question stem to encourage states to
describe each of those activities fully.
The timeframe for this question was
corrected per the comments.
Questions 8a and 8b: Sampling Frame
Coverage Study—Language was changed
in these questions to emphasize the
word sampling regarding the frame
coverage study as requested during the
comment period.
In Section II (Intended Use), the
following clarification change is being
made:
Question 3—State Challenges: This
question asks states to identify and
describe their challenges in
implementing the Synar program. This
question has been edited to include
separate response options to allow states
to describe each of the challenges listed
in the question stem to encourage states
to describe each of the challenges fully
and to make targeted technical
assistance requests.
In Appendix C (Synar Survey
Inspection Protocol Summary), the
following changes are being made:
Title: The title of this Appendix has
been edited to reflect that it is the
summary of the state’s inspection
PO 00000
Frm 00070

protocol and that the Appendix itself is
not detailed enough to serve as the
entirety of the state’s inspection
protocol.
Questions 4—Type of Tobacco
Products—These questions, which ask
the state to define the type of tobacco
products requested during Synar
inspections and to describe the protocol
for tobacco type selection, have been
edited to separate the options of
including small cigars and cigarillos and
to add the option of including electronic
nicotine delivery systems or electronic
cigarettes.
Questions 5a and b—The previous
question 5 has been separated into two
sections to ensure states are able to fully
describe the methods used to recruit,
select and train adult supervisors for the
survey separately from the methods
used to recruit, select, and train youth
inspectors.
Content Changes
The content of the Synar Report has
changed little. The content changes that
have been made address the need to (1)
clarify the intent of information
requested via the addition of clarifying
questions, and (2) reduce the need for
State Project Officers to ask additional
questions to supplement the originally
submitted Report. These additions and
changes are essential to SAMHSA’s
ability to adequately assess state and
jurisdictional compliance with the
Synar regulation.
In Section I (Compliance Progress),
the following changes are being made
with respect to the Annual Synar
Report:
Question 6: Changes to the sampling
methodology—This question asks states
if their sampling methodology has
changed from the previous year. If there
has been a change, a sub-question has
been added to document how that
change was communicated to SAMHSA.
Since this change requires prior
approval, a state that had not received
prior approval will have the opportunity
to discuss the process used to determine
the need for a change. Language in the
report format and the instructions was
adjusted to reflect the comments. The
time period was also corrected per the
comments.
Question 9: Changes to the inspection
protocol—This question asks states if its
inspection protocol has changed from
the previous year. If there has been a
change, a sub-question has been added
to document how that change was
communicated to SAMHSA. Since this
change requires prior approval, a state
that had not received prior approval
will have the opportunity to discuss the
process used to determine the need for
E:\FR\FM\31MRN1.SGM
31MRN1
18634

a change. Existing questions 9a, 9b, and
9c have been renumbered to account for
this new sub-question. Language in the
report format and the instructions was
adjusted to reflect the comments.
In Appendix B (Synar Survey
Sampling Methodology), the following
changes are being made:
Question 4—Vending machine
inclusion in Synar Survey—This
question, whether asks vending
machines are included in the Synar
survey and the reasons for their
elimination if they are not included.
Because many states have a contract
with the FDA and are actively enforcing
the vending machine requirements of
the Family Smoking Prevention and
Tobacco Control Act, some states that
include vending machines in their
sampling protocols do not sample any
because there are few eligible vending
machines remaining on their list frame.
A second part has been added to this
question to determine how vending
machines are sampled.
There are no changes to Forms 1–5 or
Appendix D.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The National Customs Automation
Program (NCAP) was established by
Subtitle B of Title VI—Customs
Modernization, in the North American
Free Trade Agreement Implementation
Act (Pub. L. 103–182, 107 Stat. 2057,
December 8, 1993) (Customs
Modernization Act). See 19 U.S.C. 1411.
Through NCAP, the thrust of customs
modernization was on trade compliance
and the development of the Automated
Commercial Environment (ACE), the
planned successor to the legacy
Customs Automated Commercial
System (ACS). ACE is an automated and
electronic system for commercial trade
processing. ACE will streamline
business processes, facilitate growth in
trade, ensure cargo security, and foster
participation in global commerce, while
ensuring compliance with U.S. laws and
regulations and reducing costs for CBP
and all its communities of interest. The
ability to meet these objectives depends
upon successfully modernizing CBP’s
business functions and the information
technology that supports those
functions. CBP’s modernization efforts
are accomplished through phased
releases of ACE component
functionality, designed to introduce a

Report Format, FFY 2017-2019--(OMB No. 0930-0222)--Revision
Section 1926 of the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 300x-26]
stipulates that funding Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block
Grant (SABG) agreements for alcohol and drug abuse programs for fiscal
year 1994 and subsequent fiscal years require states to have in effect
a law providing that it is unlawful for any manufacturer, retailer, or
distributor of tobacco products to sell or distribute any such product
to any individual under the age of 18. This section further requires
that states conduct annual, random, unannounced inspections to ensure
compliance with the law; that the state submit annually a report
describing the results of the inspections, the activities carried out
by the state to enforce the required law, the success the state has
achieved in reducing the availability of tobacco products to
individuals under the age of 18, and the strategies to be utilized by
the state for enforcing such law during the fiscal year for which the
grant is sought.
Before making an award to a State under the SABG, the Secretary
must make a determination that the state has maintained compliance with
these requirements. If a determination is made that the state is not in
compliance, penalties shall be applied. Penalties ranged from 10
percent of the Block Grant in applicable year 1 (FFY 1997 SABG
Applications) to 40 percent in applicable year 4 (FFY 2000 SABG
Applications) and subsequent years. Respondents include the 50 states,
the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, Palau, Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands.
Regulations that implement this legislation are at 45 CFR 96.130,
are approved by OMB under control number 0930-0163, and require that
each state submit an annual Synar report to the Secretary describing
their progress in complying with section 1926 of the PHS Act. The Synar
