The respondent universe is comprised
of STLT governmental staff or delegates
acting on behalf of a STLT agency
involved in the provision of essential
public health services in the United
States. Delegate is defined as a
governmental or non-governmental
agent (agency, function, office or
individual) acting for a principal or
submitted by another to represent or act
on their behalf. The STLT agency is
represented by a STLT entity or delegate
with a task to protect and/or improve
the public’s health.
Information will be used to assess
situational awareness of current public
health emergencies; make decisions that
affect planning, response and recovery
activities of subsequent emergencies; fill
CDC and HHS gaps in knowledge of
programs and/or STLT governments that
will strengthen surveillance,
epidemiology, and laboratory science;
improve CDC’s support and technical
assistance to states and communities.
CDC and HHS will conduct brief data
collections, across a range of public
health topics related to essential public
health services.
CDC estimates up to 30 data
collections with STLT governmental
staff or delegates, and 10 data
collections with local/county/city
governmental staff or delegates will be
conducted on an annual basis. Ninetyfive percent of these data collections
will be web-based and five percent
telephone, in-person, and focus groups.
The total annualized burden of 54,000
hours is based on the following
estimates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 the 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,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Center for State, Tribal, Local, and
Territorial Support (CSTLTS), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC’s Center for State, Tribal, Local,
and Territorial Support (CSTLTS) plays
a vital role in helping health agencies
work to enhance their capacity and
improve their performance to strengthen
the public health system on all levels.
CSTLTS is CDC’s primary connection to
health officials and leaders of state,
tribal, local, and territorial public health
agencies, as well as to other government
leaders who work with health
departments.
CSTLTS administers the Preventive
Health and Health Services (PHHS)
Block Grant funding for health
promotion and disease prevention
programs. Sixty-one awardees (50 states,
the District of Columbia, two American
Indian tribes, five U.S. territories, and
awardees to monitor their objectives and
activities. Awardees will submit
information on the following:
Recipient information: Unique
identifying information about each
recipient.
Work plan: Information about
objectives, activities, and the
populations to be addressed each year.
Annual Progress Report: Information
about success and progress toward
meeting health objectives.
Since 2008, CDC has collected this
information using a web-based
electronic system, the Block Grant
Management Information System
(BGMIS). Beginning with the FY2021
award, CDC will be using a new
information management system, the
Block Grant Information System (BGIS)
to collect this information. The new
system will collect substantially the
same information as the old system but
will offer a variety of updates and
improvements. Examples of
improvements include updated
technological infrastructure, updated
Healthy People Objectives (from 2020 to
2030) for awardees to use when
planning programs, usability
improvements, and redesigned
instruments to capture data in more
useful formats for both the recipients
and reporting purposes.
The respondent universe will include
PHHSBG Block Grant Coordinators
(n=61). All modules will be accessed
electronically through the BGIS system.
The total annualized estimated burden
is 1,525 hours.
three freely associated states) receive
block grant funds to address locally
defined public health needs in
innovative ways. The PHHS Block Grant
allows awardees to prioritize the use of
funds to fill funding gaps in programs
that deal with leading causes of death
and disability, as well as the ability to
respond rapidly to emerging health
issues, including outbreaks of foodborne infections and water-borne
diseases. CSTLTS ensures that the CDC
PHHS Block Grant Program Manager
and recipients account for funds in
accordance with legislative mandates.
Each awardee is required to submit a
work plan with its selected health
outcome objectives, as well as
descriptions of the health problems,
identified target populations (including
portions of those populations
disproportionately affected by the
health problems), and activities to be
addressed in the planned work. CDC
will use the Block Grant Information
System to collect recipient data, monitor
awardees’ 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.
CDC requests OMB approval for
revision to an existing information
collection request to accommodate the
needed updates to the system and
templates used to collect the
information. As specified in the
authorizing legislation, CDC currently
collects information from Block Grant
