Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) works with states, territories, tribal organizations, and the District of Columbia (collectively referred to as ‘‘state-based’’ programs) to develop, implement, manage, and PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 16867 evaluate tobacco prevention and control programs. Support and guidance for these programs have been provided through cooperative agreement funding and technical assistance administered by CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP). Partnerships and collaboration with other federal agencies, nongovernmental organizations, local communities, public and private sector organizations, and major voluntary associations have been critical to the success of these efforts. NCCDPHP cooperative agreements DP15–1509 (National StateBased Tobacco Control Programs) and DP14–1410PPHF14 (Public Health Approaches for Ensuring Quitline Capacity) continue to support efforts since 1999 to build state health department infrastructure and capacity to implement comprehensive tobacco prevention and control programs. Through these cooperative agreements, health departments in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam are funded to implement evidence-based environmental, policy, and systems strategies and activities designed to reduce tobacco use, secondhand smoke exposure, tobacco related disparities and associated disease, disability, and death. CDC requests OMB approval to collect information from the 53 state-based programs funded under both DP15–1509 and DP14–1410PPHF14. Awardees will report information about their work plan objectives, activities, infrastructure, and performance measures. Each awardee will submit an Annual Work Plan Progress Report using an Excel-based Work Plan Tool. The estimated burden per response on each of the abovementioned tools is six hours for each. Each awardee will also submit an Annual Performance Measure report using an Excel-based Performance Measures tool. The estimated burden per response for this tool is five hours. Additionally, each awardee will submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) using an Excel-based APR tool. The estimated burden per response for the APR tool is 18 hours for each. Awardees will also submit an Annual Component Model of Infrastructure (CMI) using an Excel-based CMI tool, with an estimated burden per response of three hours, and an Annual Budget Progress Report using an Excel-based Budget Tool, with an estimated burden per response of five hours. The same instruments will be used for all information collection and reporting throughout the OMB approval period. Awardees will upload their information E:\FR\FM\23APN1.SGM 23APN1 16868 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 78 / Tuesday, April 23, 2019 / Notices to www.grantssolutions.gov on an annual basis to satisfy routine cooperative agreement reporting requirements.

Proposed Project

    Monitoring and Reporting System for the National Tobacco Control 
Program--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) works with 
states, territories, tribal organizations, and the District of Columbia 
(collectively referred to as ``state-based'' programs) to develop, 
implement, manage, and evaluate tobacco prevention and control 
programs. Support and guidance for these programs have been provided 
through cooperative agreement funding and technical assistance 
administered by CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP). Partnerships and collaboration with 
other federal agencies, nongovernmental organizations, local 
communities, public and private sector organizations, and major 
voluntary associations have been critical to the success of these 
efforts. NCCDPHP cooperative agreements DP15-1509 (National State-Based 
Tobacco Control Programs) and DP14-1410PPHF14 (Public Health Approaches 
for Ensuring Quitline Capacity) continue to support efforts since 1999 
to build state health department infrastructure and capacity to 
implement comprehensive tobacco prevention and control programs. 
Through these cooperative agreements, health departments in all 50 
states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam are funded to 
implement evidence-based environmental, policy, and systems strategies 
and activities designed to reduce tobacco use, secondhand smoke 
exposure, tobacco related disparities and associated disease, 
disability, and death.
    CDC requests OMB approval to collect information from the 53 state-
based programs funded under both DP15-1509 and DP14-1410PPHF14. 
Awardees will report information about their work plan objectives, 
activities, infrastructure, and performance measures. Each awardee will 
submit an Annual Work Plan Progress Report using an Excel-based Work 
Plan Tool. The estimated burden per response on each of the 
abovementioned tools is six hours for each. Each awardee will also 
submit an Annual Performance Measure report using an Excel-based 
Performance Measures tool. The estimated burden per response for this 
tool is five hours. Additionally, each awardee will submit an Annual 
Progress Report (APR) using an Excel-based APR tool. The estimated 
burden per response for the APR tool is 18 hours for each. Awardees 
will also submit an Annual Component Model of Infrastructure (CMI) 
using an Excel-based CMI tool, with an estimated burden per response of 
three hours, and an Annual Budget Progress Report using an Excel-based 
Budget Tool, with an estimated burden per response of five hours. The 
same instruments will be used for all information collection and 
reporting throughout the OMB approval period. Awardees will upload 
their information

[[Page 16868]]

to www.grantssolutions.gov on an annual basis to satisfy routine 
cooperative agreement reporting requirements.
    CDC will use the information collected to monitor each awardee's 
progress and to identify facilitators and challenges to program 
implementation and achievement of outcomes. Monitoring allows CDC to 
determine whether an awardee is meeting performance and budget goals 
and to make adjustments in the type and level of technical assistance 
provided to them, as needed, to support attainment of their performance 
measures.
    Monitoring and evaluation activities also allow CDC to provide 
oversight of the use of federal funds, and to identify and disseminate 
information about successful prevention and control strategies 
implemented by awardees. These functions are central to NCCDPHP's broad 
mission of reducing the burden of chronic diseases. Finally, the 
information collection will allow CDC to monitor the increased emphasis 
on partnerships and programmatic collaboration, and is expected to 
reduce duplication of effort, enhance program impact and maximize the 
use of federal funds. OMB approval is requested for three years. 
Participation in the information collection is required as a condition 
of funding. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
