Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 24 / Friday, February 4, 2022 / Notices
for cancer survivors. Toward this end,
the DCPC supports the scientific
development and implementation of
various health communication
campaigns with an emphasis on specific
cancer burdens.
This process requires testing of
messages, concepts, and materials prior
to their final development and
dissemination, as described in the
second step of the health
communication process. The health
communication process is a scientific
model developed by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services’ National Cancer Institute to
guide sound campaign development.
The communication literature supports
various data collection methods to
conduct credible formative, concept,
message, and materials testing. This
process ensures that the public clearly
understands cancer-specific information
and concepts, are motivated to take the
desired action, and do not react
negatively to the messages. CDC was
previously approved to collect
information needed to plan and tailor
cancer communication campaigns (OMB
Control No. 0920–0800, Exp. 10/31/
2021), and seeks OMB approval to
revise the existing generic clearance to
include another cancer-related
communications campaign, expand the
modes of data collection to include
online focus groups and in-depth
interviews (in-person, phone, and
online), and to focus on respondents
from the general public.
Information collection will involve
discussions to assess numerous
qualitative dimensions of cancer
prevention and control messages,
including but not limited to, cancer
knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral
intentions, information needs and
sources, and compliance with cancer
screening as recommended by the
United States Preventive Services Task
Force. Insights gained from these
discussions will assist in the
development and/or refinement of
future campaign messages and
materials. Communication campaigns
and messages will vary according to the
type of cancer and the qualitative
dimensions of the message described
above.
A separate information collection
request will be submitted to OMB for
approval of each discussion activity.
The request will describe the purpose of
the activity and include the customized
information collection instruments.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. CDC requests OMB approval for
an estimated 1,680 annual burden
hours. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents except
their time.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
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 OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 24 / Friday, February 4, 2022 / Notices
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;
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Assessment of Outcomes Associated
with the Preventive Health and Health
Services Block Grant—Extension—
Center for State, Tribal, Local and
Territorial Support (CSTLTS), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
For more than 35 years, the
Preventive Health and Health Services
Block Grant (PHHS Block Grant) has
provided flexible funding for all 50
states, the District of Columbia, two
improvement, efficiency and
effectiveness of programs, services, and
operations); addressing emerging public
health needs; and implementing
evidence-based public health
interventions.
The purpose of this information
collection request (ICR) is to collect data
that assess select cross-cutting outputs
and outcomes of the grant (as defined by
the framework measures) and that
demonstrate the utility of the grant on
a national level. This data collection
will describe the outcomes of the PHHS
Block Grant as a whole, rather than
individual grantee activities or
outcomes. Findings from this data
collection will be used to: (1) Describe
the outcomes and achievements of
grantees’ public health efforts and
identify how the use of PHHS Block
Grant funds contributed to those results,
and (2) help assess how the PHHS Block
Grant advances work of the public
health system and provides evidence to
support future budgetary requests.
The respondent universe consists of
61 PHHS Block Grant coordinators, or
their designees, across 61 health
departments (50 states, the District of
Columbia, two tribes, five U.S.
territories, and three freely associated
states). The assessment will be
administered to PHHS Block Grant
coordinators electronically via a webbased questionnaire. A link to the
assessment will be provided by email
invitation. The survey will be
completed once every two years. The
total annualized estimated burden is 46
hours.
American Indian tribes, five U.S.
territories, and three freely associated
states to address the unique public
health needs of their jurisdictions in
innovative and locally defined ways.
First authorized by Congress in 1981
through the Public Health Service Act
(Pub. L. 102–531), the fundamental and
enduring purpose of the grant has been
to provide grantees with flexibility and
control to address their priority public
health needs. In 1992, Congress
amended the law to align PHHS Block
Grant funding priorities with the 22
chapters specified in Healthy People
(HP) 2000, a set of national objectives
designed to guide health promotion and
disease prevention efforts. Additional
amendments included set-aside funds
specifically dedicated to sex offense
prevention and victim services, thus
requiring grantees receiving this support
to include related HP objectives and
activities as part of their PHHS Block
Grant—funded local programs.
CDC is establishing a comprehensive,
standardized method to collect data to
describe select outputs and outcomes
and ensure the accountability of the
PHHS Block Grant. The CDC PHHS
Block Grant Measurement Framework is
an innovative approach to assessing
cross-cutting outputs and outcomes
resulting from grantees’ use of flexible
grant funds. The framework defines
measures that enable CDC to
standardize the collection of data on
grantee achievements. The CDC PHHS
Block Grant Measurement Framework is
an innovative approach to: Collecting
