In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Preventive
Health and Health Services Block Grant
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 21, 2019 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC received two 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;
VerDate Sep<11>2014

(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
notice to the Attention: CDC Desk
Officer, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 17th Street NW,
Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395–5806. Provide written comments
within 30 days of notice publication.
Proposed Project
Preventive Health and Health Services
Block Grant (OMB Control No. 0920–
0106, Exp. 7/31/2019)—Extension—
Center for State, Tribal, Local and
Territorial Support (CSTLTS), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Preventive Health and Health
Services Block Grant (PHHSBG), Public
Law 102–531, Public Health Service
Act, provides funds to 61 awardees (50
states, the District of Columbia, two
American Indian Tribes, and eight U.S.
territories) and provides funding to
address locally-defined public health
needs in innovative ways. Block Grants
allow awardees to prioritize the use of
funds to address leading causes of death
and disability. Block Grant funding also
provides awardees with the ability to
respond rapidly to emerging health
issues, including outbreaks of diseases

or pathogens. The PHHS Block Grant
program is authorized by sections 1901–
1907 of the Public Health Service Act.
CDC currently collects information
from Block Grant awardees to monitor
their objectives and activities
(Preventive Health and Health Services
Block Grant, OMB No. 0920–0106, exp.
7/31/2019). Each awardee is required to
submit an annual application for
funding (Work Plan) that describes its
objectives and the populations to be
addressed, and an Annual Report that
describes activities, progress toward
objectives, and Success Stories which
highlight the improvements Block Grant
programs have made and the value of
program activities. Information is
submitted electronically through the
web-based Block Grant Information
Management System (BGMIS).
The CDC PHHS Block Grant program
has benefited from this system by
efficiently collecting mandated
information in a format that allows data
to be easily retrieved in standardized
reports. The electronic format verifies
completeness of data at data entry prior
to submission to CDC, reducing the
number of re-submissions that are
required to provide concise and
complete information.
The Work Plan and Annual Report are
designed to help Block Grant awardees
attain their goals and meet reporting
requirements specified in the program’s
authorizing legislation. Each Work Plan
objective is defined in SMART format
(Specific, Measurable, Achievable,
Realistic and Time-based), and includes
a specified start date and end date.
Block Grant activities adhere to the
Healthy People (HP) framework
established by the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS). The current
version of the BGMIS associates each
awardee-defined activity with a specific
HP National Objective, and identifies
the location where funds are applied.
There are no changes to the number
of Block Grant awardees (respondents),
or the estimated burden per response for
the Work Plan or the Annual Report.

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 108 / Wednesday, June 5, 2019 / Notices
The BGMIS does not collect data related
to assessing aggregate outcomes. A
separate information collection request,
designed to assess cross-cutting outputs
and outcomes resulting from Block grant
has been developed and is undergoing
public comment.
Legislation requires awardees to be
accountable for funds they receive by
evaluating and reporting on program
activities and health status on an annual
basis. The BGMIS system allows CDC
and awardees to measure performance,
identifying the extent to which
objectives were met and identifying the
most highly successful program
interventions. CDC requests OMB
approval to continue the Block Grant
information collection for three years.
CDC will continue to use the BGMIS to
monitor awardee progress, identify
activities and personnel supported with
Block Grant funding, conduct
compliance reviews of Block Grant
awardees, and promote the use of
evidence-based guidelines and
interventions. There are no changes to
the number of respondents or the
estimated annual burden per
respondent. The Work Plan and the
Annual Report will be submitted
annually. The estimated burden per
response for the Work Plan is 20 hours
and the estimated burden per response
for the Annual Report is 15 hours.
Participation in this information
collection is required for Block Grant
awardees. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
Awardees continue to submit Success
Stories with their Annual Progress
reports through BGMIS, without
changes.

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 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,
