Proposed Project
Costs of Implementing Communitybased Sodium Reduction Strategies—
New—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) is the primary Federal
agency for protecting health and
promoting quality of life through the
prevention and control of disease,
injury, and disability. CDC is committed
to programs that reduce the health and
economic consequences of the leading
causes of death and disability, thereby
ensuring a long, productive, healthy life
for all people.
Sodium reduction is a public health
imperative. Although the 2015–2020
Dietary Guidelines for Americans
recommends no more than 2,300 mg/
day of sodium for adults, U.S. adults
consume an average of more than 3,500
mg/day. The significant gap between
recommended intake and average intake
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
poses a serious public health risk; high
sodium intake leads to hypertension, a
common and costly health risk in the
United States. The increasing
prevalence of hypertension is especially
troubling because high blood pressure
leads to serious health issues, including
cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke,
and kidney disease. One study projected
that the real direct medical costs of CVD
will triple between 2010 and 2030, from
$273 billion to $818 billion. Recent
studies have shown that even modest
population-level sodium reductions can
lead to significant decreases in blood
pressure and to potentially enormous
savings—in lives and in dollars.
Reducing sodium levels presents a
special set of challenges for public
health programs because high sodium
intake is largely the result of sodium
found in processed foods and foods
prepared in restaurants. As such,
multiple reports by the Institute of
Medicine (IOM) and the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) have asserted the
need for large-scale, population-based
efforts to decrease sodium consumption.
Recognizing the importance of
population-based approaches, CDC
launched the first round of the Sodium
Reduction in Communities Program
(SRCP) in 2010 to reduce sodium intake
by helping to create healthier food
environments and a second round in
2013 to reduce sodium intake in food
environments through population-based
sodium reduction strategies. SRCP’s
project goals include increasing access
to and availability of lower-sodium food
options. The long-term goal of the
initiative is to reduce sodium intake to
within the recommended levels in the
2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
CDC funded eight SRCP grantees in
2016 to continue improving community
and environmental supports for sodium
reduction and to build practice-based
evidence around effective populationbased strategies to reduce sodium
consumption. Grantees included state
and local health departments and one
university medical center. These
communities are partnering with
organizations to implement sodium
reduction strategies in their food service
venues. By creating a healthier
environment, CDC seeks to decrease the
population-wide burden of sodium
intake.
CDC and RTI International propose to
collect information from all partners of
SRCP recipients that are willing to
participate in order to estimate the costs
to SRCP partners of implementing
sodium reduction strategies. Partner
organizations are those that work to
implement the sodium reduction
strategies in their food services and can
E:\FR\FM\22FEN1.SGM

5681
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 36 / Friday, February 22, 2019 / Notices
include worksites, schools, universities,
hospitals, senior meal programs, food
banks, and restaurants. The information
collection will occur via the SRCP
Partner Cost Survey, in which
respondents will be asked about a key
set of sodium reduction activities that
were developed based on a pilot study
with eight partners as part of the
evaluation of SRCP Round 2. Activities
include: Establishing nutrition
guidelines, developing lower sodium
products or recipes, preparing lowersodium food, promoting lower-sodium
foods, and attending additional
meetings. We will request participation
from all SRCP partners via email and
offer a $50 gift card as an incentive.
Complete surveys will be returned to
CDC’s data collection contractor by
email. The estimated burden per
response is one hour.
The insights to be gained from this
data collection will be critical to
understanding the full costs of
implementing community-based sodium
reduction strategies. Estimates will be
considered preliminary and not
externally generalizable but can provide
a basis for future planning and
evaluation. Understanding the costs to
partners is important for program
planning to support program longevity
and sustainability. For example, CDC
can use findings to provide guidance or
technical assistance to entities that are
interested in population-based strategies
for reducing sodium consumption.
Results will also be disseminated to
other state and local organizations to
inform planning and sustainability of
other community-based public health
initiatives.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. CDC estimates that information
will be collected from 44 of the SRCP’s
community partners (50% response
rate). Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The estimated
annualized burden hours are 44.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 2, 2014, CDC published a
notice in the Federal Register (79 FR
71433) requesting public comment on a
draft document titled Recommendations
for Providers Counseling Male Patients
and Parents Regarding Male
Circumcision and the Prevention of HIV
Infection, STIs, and Other Health
Outcomes (referred to as The Initial
Draft Document). On August 30, 2018,
the title was changed to Information for
Providers to Share with Male Patients
and Parents Regarding Male
Circumcision and the Prevention of HIV
infection, Sexually Transmitted
Infections, and other Health Outcomes
to better align with the content in the
final version of the document.
The intent of this document is to
assist health care providers in the
United States who share information
with men and parents of male infants,
children and adolescents for their use in
decision making about male
circumcision as it relates to the
prevention of human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) infection, sexually
transmitted infections (STIs), and other
health outcomes. Such decision making
is made in the context of not only health
considerations, but also other social,
cultural, ethical, and religious factors.
Although observational and ecologic
data have been accumulating about
infant male circumcision for many
years, clinical trials conducted between
2005–2010 have demonstrated safety

and significant efficacy of voluntary
adult male circumcision performed by
clinicians for reducing the risk of
acquisition of human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by a
male during penile-vaginal sex
(‘‘heterosexual sex’’). Three randomized
clinical trials conducted in Kenya,
Uganda, and South Africa 1 2 3 showed
that adult male circumcision reduced
HIV infection risk by 50–60%. These
trials also found that adult circumcision
reduced the risk of men acquiring two
common sexually transmitted infections
(STIs), herpes simplex virus type-2
(HSV–2) and types of human papilloma
virus (HPV) that can cause penile and
other anogenital cancers. Since the
release of these trial data, various
medical professional organizations have
updated their information about adult
male and infant male circumcision.
