Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 13, 2019 / Notices
CDC plans to conduct the Million
Hearts Hypertension Control Challenge
annually through 2022. The 2020
Challenge is planned to launch in
February 2020, coinciding with
American Heart Month. The application
period will be open for approximately
45–60 days, with recognition of the
2020 Champions in the fall of 2020. A
similar calendar year schedule is
planned for 2021 and 2022. Revision for
2020, 2021, and 2022 includes a
reduction in the estimated number of
respondents. During the period of this
revision request, on an annual basis,
CDC estimates that information will be
collected from up to 200 applicants
using the application form, at most 40
data verifications, and at most 35 semistructured interviews. There is an
overall reduction in estimated
annualized burden hours.
The overall goal of the Million Hearts
initiative is to prevent one million heart
attacks and strokes, and controlling
hypertension is one focus of the
initiative. CDC will use the information
collected through the Million Hearts
Hypertension Control Challenge to
increase widespread attention to
hypertension at the clinical practice
level, improve understanding of
successful and sustainable
implementation strategies at the practice
or health system level, bring visibility to
organizations that invest in
hypertension control, and motivate
individual practices to strengthen their
hypertension control efforts.
Information collected through the
Million Hearts Hypertension Control
Challenge will link success in clinical
outcomes of hypertension control with
information about strategies that can be
used to achieve similar favorable
outcomes so that the strategies can be
replicated by other providers and health
care systems.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation is voluntary. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 215. There are no costs to the
respondents other than their time.

In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled ‘‘The
Performance Measures Project:
Improving Performance Measurement
and Monitoring by CDC Programs’’ 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 7, 2019 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC received one nonsubstantive comment 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
The Performance Measures Project:
Improving Performance Measurement
and Monitoring by CDC Programs—
New—Program Performance and
Evaluation Office (PPEO), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Each year, approximately 75% of the
CDC’s congressionally appropriated
funding goes to extramural
organizations, including state and local
partners, via contracts, grants, and, most
commonly, cooperative agreements. A
cooperative agreement is an award
mechanism used when there will be
substantial Federal programmatic
involvement, meaning that the CDC
program staff will collaborate or
participate in project or program
activities. These funds are distributed
from the Office of Grant Services to
partners throughout the world to
promote health, prevent disease, injury
and disability and prepare for new
health threats. The availability of
funding for cooperative agreements is
announced through a Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO). CDC awards
approximately 65 new domestic, nonresearch NOFOs each year (each funded
E:\FR\FM\13AUN1.SGM
13AUN1
40067
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 13, 2019 / Notices
for one to five years). Cooperative
agreements may have only a few funded
recipients or more than 50 (such as
when a CDC program provides funding
to all states and territories).
To monitor the performance of
recipients and CDC programs toward
achieving outcomes specified by
cooperative agreements, CDC currently
uses the PPMR (OMB Control Number0920–1132, Expiration Date: 08/31/
2019), a progress report form adapted
from an information collection owned
by the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF). This tool may be used
to collect information periodically from
recipients of CDC funds regarding the
progress made on CDC funded projects.
The Performance Measures Project
will work with up to 25 CDC programs
developing cooperative agreements to
address the challenges they face with
performance planning, measurement
and monitoring. Each cooperative
agreement will provide funding to an
average of 35 local entities, for a total of
up to 875 locally funded entities.
Through participation in this Project,
CDC programs and recipients of
cooperative agreement funds will: (1)
Develop strong performance
measurement systems and practices; (2)
define and operationalize priority
performance measures tailored to a
specific cooperative agreement; and (3)
establish common data collection and
reporting expectations across all
recipients for a specific cooperative
agreement. The Project focuses on
addressing these issues during the early
stages of cooperative agreement
development and implementation.
The Project proposes a generic
clearance adapted from a previously
approved generic clearance (OMB
Control Number: 0970–0490, Expiration
Date 1/31/2020) owned by ACF. This
ACF generic clearance replaces the
information collection that is the basis
of CDC’s current PPMR. Project
participants will customize sample
information collections to meet
program-specific needs. The
information collected will enable the
accurate, reliable, uniform and timely
submission to CDC of each recipient’s
progress and performance measures.
The information collected by the
generic information collection is
designed to align with, and support the
goals outlined for each of the CDC
recipients. Collection and reporting of
the information will occur in an
efficient, standardized, and userfriendly manner that will generate a
variety of routine and customizable
reports. The generic information
collection will allow each recipient to
summarize activities and progress
towards meeting performance measures
and goals over a specified time period
specific to each award. CDC will also
have the capacity to generate reports
that describe activities across multiple
recipients. In addition, CDC will use the
information collected to respond to
inquiries from HHS, Congress and other
stakeholder inquiries about program
activities and their impact. CDC
requests OMB approval for three years.
The total estimated burden is 35,000
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.
