In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Evaluation of
the Chronic Disease Self-Management
Program in the US Affiliated Pacific
Islands 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 February 2, 2018 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC did not receive 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

Proposed Project
Evaluation of the Chronic Disease
Self-Management Program in the US
Affiliated Pacific Islands—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NCCDPHP plans to evaluate the first
ever implementation of Stanford
University’s Chronic Disease SelfManagement Program (CDSMP) in the
US Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPIs).
CDSMP is a 6-week series of workshops

for people with arthritis, diabetes, lung
disease, cancer, and other health
problems. The workshops focus on
helping participants learn strategies to
manage chronic disease, including
techniques to deal with problems such
as frustration, fatigue, pain and
isolation; appropriate exercise for
maintaining and improving strength,
flexibility, and endurance; and
appropriate use of medications among
others. Proven benefits of CDSMP
include decreased pain and health
distress, increased energy and fatigue,
increased physical activity, better
communication with health care
providers, and increased confidence in
managing chronic disease.
The program will be offered
repeatedly over the course of three
years, which will cover repeated data
collections in the USAPIs. These
jurisdictions include American Samoa,
Guam, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic
of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall
Islands, and the Federated States of
Micronesia. Because this is the first time
CDSMP is being implemented in the
USAPIs, we do not know if the
intervention, which has proven to
improve health outcomes in many
ethnic groups within the United States,
will lead to improved health outcomes
for these communities.
The purpose of the evaluation is to
understand how CDSMP is being
implemented in the region, to identify
barriers and facilitators to
implementation, to monitor fidelity to
Stanford University’s model and
document adaptations to the
curriculum, and to understand the selfreported effects of the program on
program participants. The estimated
annual burden hours are 95. There are
no costs to respondents other than their
time.

Part F of the Statement of
Organization, Functions, and
Delegations of Authority for the
Department of Health and Human
Services, Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS), (last amended
at Federal Register, Vol. 76, No. 203,
pp. 65197–65199, dated October 20,
2011 is amended to reflect a change in
functional responsibility between the
Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services
(CMCS) within the Office of the
Administrator and the Consortium for
Medicaid and Children’s Health
Operations (CMCHO) within the Chief
Operating Officer.
CMCS serves as CMS’ focal point for
assistance with formulation,
coordination, integration, and
implementation of all national program
policies and operations relating to
Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance
Program (CHIP), and the Basic Health
Program. In partnership with States,
CMCS assists State agencies in
successfully carrying out their
responsibilities for effective program
administration and beneficiary
protection, and, as necessary, supports
States in correcting problems and
improving the quality of their
operations. CMCHO serves as the local
point of contact for CMS activities
related to Medicaid and CHIP.
CMCHOs’ key activities are linked to
and carried out in conjunction with
CMCS. The key activities include:
supporting program transparency and
fiscal oversight of the Medicaid and

CHIP; and delivering technical
assistance to States to help achieve the
Administration’s and States’ Medicaid
goals and objectives to support highfunctioning State Medicaid programs.
Close collaboration between CMCS
and CMCHO is critical in addressing the
need for an increased level of
consistency and accountability in
working with the States. The
complexities of the Medicaid program
make this particularly challenging since
each State has a different approach to
the program. In order to maximize
consistency across the two
organizations, there already have been
several standard operating procedures
and quality improvement initiatives
instituted.
This reorganization addresses the
Agency’s needs by supporting
consistent policy implementation and
accountability (structural and outcome
measures) for Medicaid and CHIP
activities, and improved
communication. The functions in
CMCHO were merged within CMCS as
the Regional Operations Group in
addition to establishing the Regional
Management Office (RMO) and the
Division of Health Information
Technology for Economic and Clinical
Health and Medicaid Management
Information System. The functions in
the Special Initiatives Division were
merged within CMCS and the RMO.
Part F, Section FC.20 (Functions) is
amended as follows:
Section FC.20 (Functions)
• Serves as CMS’ focal point for
assistance with formulation,
coordination, integration, and
implementation of all national program
policies and operations relating to
Medicaid, the Children’s Health
Insurance Program (CHIP), and the Basic
Health Program (BHP).
• In partnership with States, assists
State agencies in successfully carrying
out their responsibilities for effective
program administration and beneficiary
protection, and, as necessary, supports
States in correcting problems and
improving the quality of their
operations.

• Serves as CMS’ lead for
management, oversight, budget, and
performance issues relating to Medicaid,
CHIP, BHP and the related interactions
with States and the stakeholder
community.
• Coordinates with the Center for
Program Integrity on the identification
of program vulnerabilities and
implementation of strategies to
eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse. Leads
and supports all CMS interactions and
collaboration relating to Medicaid,
CHIP, and BHP with States and local
governments, territories, Indian tribes
and tribal healthcare providers, key
stakeholders (e.g., consumer and policy
organizations and the health care
provider community) and other Federal
government entities. Facilitates
communication and disseminates policy
and operational guidance and materials
to all stakeholders and works to
understand and consider their
perspectives, support their efforts, and
to develop best practices for
beneficiaries across the country and
throughout the health care system.
• Develops and implements a
comprehensive strategic plan,
objectives, and measures to carry out
CMS’ Medicaid, CHIP, and BHP mission
