Download as PDF 3915 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 15 / Thursday, January 23, 2020 / Notices accredited. Accreditation is granted for a five-year period and the first several health departments have successfully completed the reaccreditation process. Formal efforts to assess the outcomes of the accreditation program began in late 2012 and continue to date. Priorities focus on gathering feedback for program improvement and documenting program outcomes to demonstrate impact and inform decision making about future program direction. Starting in 2012 and running through December 2019, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the social science organization NORC at the University of Chicago, led evaluation efforts. CDC will assume support of the evaluation starting in 2020 and as a result, OMB approval for data collection is being sought. The purpose of this ICR is to support the collection of information from participating health departments through a series of five surveys. The surveys seek to collect longitudinal data on each health department throughout their accreditation process. The respondent universe will include STLT health department directors or designees. All surveys will be administered electronically; a link to the survey website will be provided in the email invitation. The surveys will be administered on a quarterly basis and sent to all health departments that reach each milestone in the accreditation process (application, recently accredited, accredited for one year, approaching reaccreditation, and reaccreditation). Each health department will be invited to participate in each survey once (for a total of 5 surveys max per health department). The total annualized estimated burden is 100 hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.

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 StateBased Tobacco Control Programs) and DP14–1410PPHF14 (Public Health Approaches for Ensuring Quitline Capacity) continue to support efforts E:\FR\FM\23JAN1.SGM 23JAN1 3916 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 15 / Thursday, January 23, 2020 / Notices 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 plans to request OMB approval to collect information from the 53 statebased 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 submit an Annual Performance Measure report using an Excel-based Performance Measures tool. The estimated burden per response on each of the abovementioned tools is five hours for each. Each awardee will submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) using an Excel-based APR tool. The estimated burden per response on each of the abovementioned tools is 18 hours for each. Each awardee will submit an Annual Component Model of Infrastructure (CMI) using an Excelbased CMI tool. The estimated burden per response on each of the abovementioned tools is three hours for each. In addition, each awardee will submit an Annual Budget Progress Report using an Excel-based Budget Tool. The estimated burden per response is five hours for each Annual Budget Progress Report. The same instruments will be used for all information collection and reporting throughout the OMB approval period. Awardees will upload their information 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.

Proposed Project

    Monitoring and Reporting System for the National Tobacco Control 
Program (0920-1097)--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 plans to request 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 submit an Annual Performance Measure report using an Excel-based 
Performance Measures tool. The estimated burden per response on each of 
the abovementioned tools is five hours for each. Each awardee will 
submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) using an Excel-based APR tool. 
The estimated burden per response on each of the abovementioned tools 
is 18 hours for each. Each awardee will submit an Annual Component 
Model of Infrastructure (CMI) using an Excel-based CMI tool. The 
estimated burden per response on each of the abovementioned tools is 
three hours for each. In addition, each awardee will submit an Annual 
Budget Progress Report using an Excel-based Budget Tool. The estimated 
burden per response is five hours for each Annual Budget Progress 
Report. The same instruments will be used for all information 
collection and reporting throughout the OMB approval period. Awardees 
will upload their information 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.
