represent a broad range of research,
practice, and policy expertise in
prevention, wellness, health promotion,
and public health. The CPSTF was
convened in 1996 by the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) to
identify community preventive
programs, services, and policies that
increase healthy longevity, save lives
and dollars, and improve Americans’
quality of life. CDC is mandated to
provide ongoing administrative,
research, and technical support for the
operations of the CPSTF. During its
meetings, the CPSTF considers the
findings of systematic reviews on
existing research and practice-based
evidence and issues recommendations.
CPSTF recommendations are not
mandates for compliance or spending.
Instead, they provide information about
evidence-based options that decision
makers and stakeholders can consider
when they are determining what best
meets the specific needs, preferences,
available resources, and constraints of
their jurisdictions and constituents. The
CPSTF’s recommendations, along with
the systematic reviews of the evidence
on which they are based, are compiled
in The Community Guide.
Matters Proposed for Discussion:
Cardiovascular Disease Prevention
(Pharmacy-Based Interventions to
Increase Medication Adherence); Mental
Health (Effectiveness of School-Based
Depression and Anxiety Prevention
Interventions); Cancer Prevention and
Control (Community Health Worker
Interventions to Improve Screening
Rates for Breast, Colorectal, and Cervical
Cancer); Health Equity (Supportive
Housing Policies to Address
Homelessness); Obesity Prevention and
Control (Combined School-Based Diet
and Physical Activity Interventions);
Economic Review (Active Travel to
School); and discussion of Community
Guide effectiveness methods. The
agenda is subject to change without
notice.
Roybal Campus Security Guidelines:
The Edward R. Roybal Campus is the
headquarters of the CDC and is located
at 1600 Clifton Road NE, Atlanta,
Georgia. The meeting is being held in a
Federal government building; therefore,
Federal security measures are
applicable.
All meeting attendees must register by
the dates outlined under MEETING
ACCESSABILITY. In planning your
arrival time, please take into account the
need to park and clear security. All
visitors must enter the Edward R.
Roybal Campus through the front
entrance on Clifton Road. Vehicles may
be searched, and the guard force will
then direct visitors to the designated

parking area. Upon arrival at the facility,
visitors must present government-issued
photo identification (e.g., a valid federal
identification badge, state driver’s
license, state non-driver’s identification
card, or passport). Non-United States
citizens must complete the required
security paperwork prior to the meeting
date and must present a valid passport,
visa, Permanent Resident Card, or other
type of work authorization document
upon arrival at the facility. Instructions
for completing the required security
paperwork will be provided after
registration. All persons entering the
building must pass through a metal
detector. CDC Security personnel will
issue a visitor’s ID badge at the entrance
to Building 19. Visitors may receive an
escort to the meeting room. All items
brought to HHS/CDC are subject to
inspection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. 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 submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
