enhancing the quality, appropriateness,
and effectiveness of health care services
and access to such services. 42 U.S.C.
299(b). AHRQ accomplishes these goals
through scientific research and
promotion of improvements in clinical
practice, including clinical prevention
of diseases and other health conditions.
See 42 U.S.C. 299(b).
The USPSTF, an independent body of
experts in prevention and evidencebased medicine, works to improve the
health of all Americans by making
evidence-based recommendations about
the effectiveness of clinical preventive
services and health promotion. The
recommendations made by the USPSTF
address clinical preventive services for
adults and children, and include
screening tests, counseling services, and
preventive medications.
The USPSTF was first established in
1984 under the auspices of the U.S.
Public Health Service. Currently, the
USPSTF is convened by the Director of
AHRQ, and AHRQ provides ongoing
scientific, administrative, and
dissemination support for the USPSTF’s
operation. USPSTF members serve four
year terms. New members are selected
each year to replace those members who
are completing their appointments.
The USPSTF is charged with
rigorously evaluating the effectiveness,
appropriateness and cost-effectiveness
of clinical preventive services and
formulating or updating
recommendations regarding the
appropriate provision of preventive
services. See 42 U.S.C. 299b–4(a)(1).
Current USPSTF recommendations and
associated evidence reviews are
available on the internet (www.
uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org).
USPSTF members currently meet
three times a year for two days in the
Washington, DC area. A significant
portion of the USPSTF’s work occurs
between meetings during conference
calls and via email discussions. Member
duties include prioritizing topics,
designing research plans, reviewing and
commenting on systematic evidence
reviews of evidence, discussing and
making recommendations on preventive
services, reviewing stakeholder
comments, drafting final
recommendation documents, and
participating in workgroups on specific
topics and methods. Members can
expect to receive frequent emails, can
expect to participate in multiple
conference calls each month, and can
expect to have periodic interaction with
stakeholders. AHRQ estimates that
members devote approximately 200
hours a year outside of in-person
meetings to their USPSTF duties. The
members are all volunteers and do not
receive any compensation beyond
support for travel to in person meetings.
Dated: January 2, 2020.
Virginia L. Mackay-Smith,
Associate Director.

Submission for OMB Review; Office of

Community Economic Development
(CED) Standard Reporting Format
Office of Community Services,
Administration for Children and
Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Office of Community
Services (OCS) is requesting a three-year
extension of the semi-annual reporting
format for Community Economic
Development (CED) grantees, the
Performance Progress Report (PPR),
which collects information concerning
the outcomes and management of CED
projects (OMB #0970–0386, expiration
6/30/2020). There are no changes
requested to the form.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB is required to make a
decision concerning the collection of
information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment
is best assured of having its full effect
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
SUMMARY:
information collection should be sent
directly to the following: Office of
Management and Budget, Paperwork
Reduction Project, Email: OIRA_
SUBMISSION@OMB.EOP.GOV, Attn:
Desk Officer for the Administration for
Children and Families.
Copies of the proposed collection may
be obtained by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. Alternatively, copies can
also be obtained by writing to the
Administration for Children and
Families, Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation, 330 C Street SW,
Washington, DC 20201, Attn: ACF
Reports Clearance Officer. All requests,
emailed or written, should be identified
by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: OCS will continue
collecting key information about
projects funded through the CED
program. The legislative requirement for
this program is in Title IV of the
Community Opportunities,
Accountability and Training and
Educational Services Act (COATS
Human Services Reauthorization Act) of
October 27, 1998, Public Law 105–285,
section 680(b) as amended. The PPR,
collects information concerning the
outcomes and management of CED
projects. OCS will use the data to
critically review the overall design and
effectiveness of the program.
The PPR will continue to be
administered to all active grantees of the
CED program. Grantees will be required
to use this reporting tool for their semiannual reports to be submitted twice a
year. The current PPR replaced both the
annual questionnaire and other semiannual reporting formats, which
resulted in an overall reduction in
burden for the grantees while
significantly improving the quality of
the data collected by OCS. OCS seeks to
renew this PPR to continue to collect
quality data from grantees. To ensure
the burden on grantees is not increased,
but that the information collected
demonstrates the full impact of the
program, OCS has conducted an indepth review of the forms and requests
no changes to the PPR.
Respondents: Active CED Grantees.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA
has submitted the following proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
Center for Tobacco Products, Food and
Drug Administration Funded Trainee/
Scholar Survey
OMB Control Number 0910–NEW
The Tobacco Control Act (Pub. L.
111–31) amends the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) to grant
FDA authority to regulate the
manufacture, marketing, and
distribution of tobacco products to
protect the public health and to reduce
tobacco use by minors.
FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products
(CTP) and the National Institutes of
Health maintain an interagency
partnership to foster the development of
the emerging field of tobacco regulatory
science (TRS). This study will use the
CTP, FDA Funded Trainee/Scholar
Survey to gather data on the
characteristics, activities, and impact of
training programs funded by the CTP
and other partners. This evaluation will
also determine how CTP-funded
research and associated training
programs and activities increase
knowledge and skills related to TRS and
interest to pursue careers in a TRSrelated field. This survey provides
713
support to determine the extent to
which programs and activities generate
positive impacts to increase the number
of researchers who focus on TRS and
TRS-related topics, specifically within
CTP’s priority domains. The survey
builds upon previous evaluations of
trainees and training activities and
provides necessary evidence to inform
FDA decision making. The web survey
will gather responses from Tobacco
Centers of Regulatory Science (TCORS)
trainees and other CTP-funded trainees
and scholars. Results will provide
insights and directions to support future
training and funding investments.
FDA CTP will use findings from this
study to determine whether its TRS
training support investments lead to
meaningful change that supports CTP
aims, and to inform decisions about
potential future investments. CTP’s
training support intends to build
additional capacity for TRS that
establishes an evidence base related to
CTP’s research priorities so that FDA
regulations, communications, and
application review are founded on
rigorous, relevant scientific study.
Respondents include current and
former TCORS or other CTP-funded
trainees and trainee principal
investigators (PIs) or training directors.
PIs and training directors will be asked
to provide trainee names and email
addresses and encourage trainees to
participate in the survey. Current and
former trainees will be asked to read an
informed consent and take a brief webbased survey.
In the Federal Register of September
12, 2019 (84 FR 48148), FDA published
a 60-day notice requesting public
comment on the proposed collection of
information. No comments were
received.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:
