ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on a proposed information
collection project titled Social and
Economic Barriers to Receiving Optimal
Services Along the Cancer Care
Continuum. This mixed methods data
collection effort will help CDC
understand the social and economic
barriers that colorectal, breast, and
cervical cancer survivors and their
caregivers face at each stage of the
cancer care continuum, from screening
through survivorship, and how these
barriers may vary by population.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before November 27,
2023.

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;
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
Social and Economic Barriers to
Receiving Optimal Services Along the
Cancer Care Continuum—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC)
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this project is to: (1)
examine and better understand social
and economic barriers faced by
colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer
survivors and their caregivers at each
stage of the Cancer Care Continuum
(CCC); and (2) quantify the impact of
individual and compounded barriers on
health outcomes along the CCC for
survivors. CDC will use a mixed
methods data collection approach.
First, CDC plans to pull our sample
from cancer registry data in California,
North Carolina, and Texas based on
inclusion criteria (received first cancer
diagnosis of either breast, cervical or
colorectal cancer in 2021; 18–75 years of
age at time of diagnosis; are nonHispanic Black/African American, nonHispanic White, or Hispanic; alive at the
time of data extraction/sample
selection). Then, CDC will administer a
Wave 1 (baseline) and Wave 2 (followup) survey to cancer survivors, as well
as a survey to their caregivers.
Additionally, CDC will conduct
interviews with survivors and caregivers
as well as focus groups with

representatives from patient/survivor
advocacy organizations. CDC will
incorporate cancer registry data into the
quantitative data analysis, and
triangulate findings from the
quantitative and qualitative data
collection efforts. Results will be used to
inform efforts aimed at increasing access
to cancer care services, reducing the
burden of cancers and closing the
disparities gap.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 1,681 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time to participate.

preliminary determination that funds
from the Federal fiscal year (FFY) 2022
Low Income Home Energy Assistance
Program (LIHEAP) are available for
reallotment to States, Territories, Tribes,

other entities may apply for these funds.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After
receiving Federal Financial Reports
(FFRs) and Carryover and Reallotment
Reports (CRRs) from FFY 2022 LIHEAP
recipients, ACF has determined that
$21,985,238 in FFY 2022 LIHEAP funds
were available for reallotment for FFY
2023. This determination was based on
the reports of 73 recipients, the total
obligations of 3 recipients, and minor
corrections to certain amounts available
for carryover. LIHEAP recipients
submitted the FFY 2022 CRRs to OCS,
as required by regulations applicable to
LIHEAP at 45 CFR 96.81(b).
The LIHEAP statute allows grant
recipients who have funds unobligated
at the end of the FFY for which they are
awarded to request that they be allowed
to carry over up to 10 percent of their
full-year allotments to the next FFY (42
U.S.C. 8626(b)(2)). Funds in excess of
this amount must be returned to the
U.S. Department of Health and Human

Services and are subject to reallotment
under 42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(1).
FFY 2022 funds appropriated under
the American Rescue Plan Act of 2022
(Pub. L. 117–2) were not subject to 42
U.S.C. 8626(b)(2)(B), which caps
carryover at 10 percent. Therefore, these
funds were not included in the
reallotment calculation.
In accordance with 42 U.S.C.
8626(b)(3), ACF notified each of the 76
recipients that reported or, in the
absence of reporting, had potentially
$21,985,238 of unobligated funds above
their carryover caps. In these notices,
ACF told each about the amount it
returned for de-obligation and the
amount that will be redistributed to FFY
2023 grant recipients as part of the
reallotment. It also gave each recipient
30 calendar days to provide comments
directly to ACF.
If funds are reallotted, then they will
be allocated in accordance with 42
U.S.C. 8623 and must be treated by
LIHEAP grant recipients that receive
them as an amount appropriated for
FFY 2023. As FFY 2023 funds, they will
be subject to all requirements of the
LIHEAP statute, including 42 U.S.C.
8626(b)(2), which requires that a grantee
obligate at least 90 percent of its total
block grant allocation for a fiscal year by
the end of the fiscal year for which the
funds are appropriated; that is, by
September 30, 2023.
All LIHEAP grant recipients that
receive a portion of these funds will be
notified of the final reallotment amount
redistributed to them for obligation in
FFY 2023. This decision will also be
published in the Federal Register and in
a Dear Colleague Letter that is posted to
