agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on an

organizational assessment and planning
tool designed to help employers identify
gaps in their health promotion programs
and prioritize high-impact strategies for
health promotion at their worksites.

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;

Proposed Project
CDC Worksite Health ScoreCard (CDC
ScoreCard) (OMB Control No. 0920–
1014, Exp. 3/31/2022)—Extension—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In the United States, chronic diseases
such as heart disease, obesity, and
diabetes are among the leading causes of
death and disability. Although chronic
diseases are among the most common
and costly health problems, they are
also among the most preventable.
Adopting healthy behaviors—such as
eating nutritious foods, being physically
active, and avoiding tobacco use—can
prevent the devastating effects and
reduce the rates of these diseases.
Employers are recognizing the role
they can play in creating healthy work
environments and providing employees
with opportunities to make healthy
lifestyle choices. To support these
efforts, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) developed an
online organizational assessment tool
called the CDC Worksite Health
Scorecard.
The CDC Worksite Health Scorecard
is a tool designed to help employers
assess whether they have implemented
evidence-based health promotion
interventions or strategies in their
worksites to prevent heart disease,
stroke, and related conditions such as
hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. The
assessment contains 151 core yes/no
questions with an additional 20 optional
demographic questions divided into 19
E:\FR\FM\27SEN1.SGM
27SEN1
53316
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 184 / Monday, September 27, 2021 / Notices
modules (risk factors/conditions/
demographics) that assess how
evidence-based health promotion
strategies are implemented at a
worksite. These strategies include
health promoting counseling services,
environmental supports, policies, health
plan benefits, and other worksite
programs shown to be effective in
preventing disease and promoting
healthy lifestyles for employees.
Employers can use this tool to assess
how a comprehensive health promotion
and disease prevention program is
offered to their employees, to help
identify program gaps, and to prioritize
high-impact health promotion strategies
to be incorporated into their programs.
This is an Extension Information
Collection Request (ICR) enabling
existing users, as well as new users to
continue to have access to the CDC
ScoreCard, a web-based organizational
assessment tool designed to help
employers identify gaps in their health
promotion programs and prioritize highimpact strategies for health promotion at
their worksites (available at https://
www.cdc.gov/healthscorecard).
CDC ScoreCard users will create a
user account, complete the online
assessment, and receive an immediate
feedback report that summarizes the
current status of their worksite health
program; identifies gaps in current
programming; benchmarks individual
employer results against other users of
the system; and provides access to
worksite health tools and resources to
address employer gaps and priority
program areas. To realize the full benefit
of the tool, employers are encouraged to
reassess their progress on an annual
basis and track improvements over time.
CDC will continue to provide outreach
to and to register approximately 800
employers per year to use the online
survey CDC ScoreCard in their
workplace health program assessment,
planning, and implementation efforts.
CDC Scorecard is open to employers of
all sizes, industry sectors, and
geographic locations across the country.
CDC will continue to use the
information gathered from the Scorecard
to provide better technical assistance,
training, and support to employers
seeking guidance on building or
maintaining workplace health
promotion programs including tool and
resource development for program
planning, implementation, and
evaluation related to the CDC
ScoreCard’s strategies.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. CDC requests approval for an
estimated 1,000 burden hours annually.
Participation is voluntary and there are
no costs to respondents other than their
time.
