Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled CDC Worksite
Health Scorecard to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. CDC previously
published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection
Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on March 2,
2017 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC
received three comments related to the
previous notice. This notice serves to
allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(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.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or
send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions
regarding the items contained in this

Proposed Project
CDC Worksite Health Scorecard (OMB
Control Number 0920–1014, expired 4/
30/2017)—Reinstatement with Change—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has established the
Worksite Health Scorecard (Scorecard),
an online organizational assessment
tool, to enable employers to assess the
number of evidence-based health
promotion interventions or strategies in
their worksites to prevent heart disease,
stroke, and related conditions such as
hypertension, diabetes, and obesity.
The CDC Worksite Health Scorecard
will support small, mid-size, and large
employer with three primary goals: (1)
Assist employers in identifying gaps in
their health promotion programs, and
help them to prioritize high-impact
strategies for health promotion at their
worksites; (2) Improve the health and
wellbeing of employees and their
families through science-based
workplace health interventions and
promising practices; and (3) Support
research and increase understanding of
the organizational programs, policies,
and practices that employers of various
sizes and industry sectors have
implemented to support healthy
lifestyle behaviors.
The Scorecard approval under OMB
Control number 0920–1014 expired at a
time when it was unclear if resources
would be available to continue its use.
Strong commitments from internal and
external stakeholders have enabled CDC
to continue to offer a revised Scorecard
to employers nationwide. CDC is
requesting a reinstatement with change
to a previously approved data
collection. CDC plans to first pilot test
an updated version of the Scorecard and
when finalized submit a revision
request to expand the number of
employers the new Scorecard is offered
to.
From 2014–2016, 1,531 worksites
have submitted CDC Worksite Health
Scorecards from employers in 40
different states. The average employer is
implementing a little more than half of
the recommended programmatic, policy,
environmental support, and healthbenefit intervention strategies assessed
in the Scorecard. Additionally, those
employers who have re-assessed at least
once during this period have seen their
Scorecard score improve from an
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
average of 95.85 points to 139.72 points.
This represents an improvement in the
total number of intervention strategies
being implemented as well as the
number of best practice and high-impact
strategies, which garner more points
improving the work environment for
employees to improve their health and
well-being. Overall, exposure to the
Scorecard is contributing to better and
more effective work-place health
program offerings to employees.
CDC will recruit a convenience
sample of one hundred employers (each
represented by two knowledgeable
employees for 200 total respondents) to
pilot test and evaluate the updated
Scorecard. CDC will seek a diverse set
of employers with respect to size and
industry type who will be reached
through meetings, presentations, and
through gatekeeper organizations to be
enrolled/registered. The updated
Scorecard includes questions in four
new topic areas: Sleep (8 questions);
Alcohol & Other Substance Abuse (6
questions); Cancer (7 questions); and
Musculoskeletal Disorders (7 questions),
to include minor revisions to previously
existing questions or adjustment in the
associated points received for answering
affirmatively to a question based on
supporting evidence from the peer
reviewed literature as well as sources
such as the Community Guide.
Additional updates also included
dropping 20 questions from the prior
version due to redundancy or lack of
evidence to support their use. From the
employers that complete the survey,
CDC will conduct follow-up telephone
interviews on a subset of about 16
employers (each represented by two
knowledgeable employees, for 32
respondents in total). The follow-up
telephone interviews will gather general
impressions of the Scorecard—
particularly the new modules and allow
for discussion of items that presented
discrepancies (and items that were left
blank) to understand the respondent’s
interpretation and perspective of their
answers these questions. This process
will assess the validity and reliability of
the questions, as well as allow CDC to
gather suggestions for additional
refinements, where necessary.
Following this pilot testing, CDC will
continue to provide outreach to and
register approximately 800 employers
per year to use the online survey
Scorecard in their workplace health
program assessment, planning, and
implementation efforts, which is open
to employers of all sizes, industry
sectors, and geographic locations across
the country.
CDC requests a one-year OMB
approval for this project. CDC will pilot

test the updated Scorecard in year one
and create a finalized version of the
instrument based on respondent
feedback gathered during the pilot. After
the completion of the pilot test, CDC
will submit a finalized instrument as a
revision request for a three-year
clearance.
Participation in the CDC Worksite
Health Scorecard is voluntary and there
are no costs to respondents other than
their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 303.
