Proposed Project Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) Monitoring Activities (OMB Control No. 0920–1074)— Reinstatement—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Background and Brief Description CDC is requesting a Reinstatement of OMB No. 0920–1074. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of death from cancer in the United States among cancers that affect both men and women. There is substantial evidence that CRC screening reduces the incidence of and death from the disease. Screening for CRC can detect disease early when treatment is more effective, and prevent cancer by finding and removing precancerous polyps. Of individuals diagnosed with early stage CRC, more than 90% live five or more years. To reduce CRC morbidity, mortality, and associated costs, use of CRC screening tests must be increased among age-eligible adults with the lowest CRC screening rates. The purpose of the Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) is to partner with health systems and their individual primary care clinics to implement evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to increase CRC screening among defined populations of adults ages 50–75 that have CRC screening rates lower than the national, regional, or local rate. In 2020, CDC issued the funding opportunity, Public Health and Health System Partnerships to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening in Clinical Settings (DP20–2002), a fiveyear cooperative agreement to increase CRC screening among defined populations of adults ages 50–75 that have CRC screening rates lower than the national, regional, or local rate. DP20– 2002 funds recipients to partner with health systems and their primary care clinics to implement multiple EBIs, partner with organizations to support implementation of EBIs in those clinics, and collect high-quality clinic-level data to monitor EBI implementation and assess screening rate changes. CDC proposes information collection using three data collection tools: the Annual Awardee Survey, Clinic-Level Data Collection Instrument, and Quarterly Program Update. The Annual Awardee Survey is administered once per year and assesses: program management, clinic readiness assessment activities, data management, technical assistance (TA) needs, partnerships, and the effect of COVID–19 on CRC implementation. The Clinic-Level Information Collection Instrument is administered three months following each program year end and assesses: health system and E:\FR\FM\29APN1.SGM 29APN1 33353 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 83 / Monday, April 29, 2024 / Notices clinic characteristics; program reach; CRC screening practices and outcomes; clinics’ quality improvement and monitoring activities; EBI implementation, and additional factors that affect EBI implementation over time. The Quarterly Program Update is administered in the month following each program quarter (i.e., October, January, April, July) and collects standardized recipient-level information on aspects of program management, including: quarterly program expenditures, current staff vacancies, program successes and challenges, current TA needs, and the effect of COVID–19 on CRCCP implementation at the recipient level. These data are collected quarterly to facilitate rapid reporting of programmatic information to support CDC program consultants in providing tailored and meaningful TA. This information collection enables CDC to gauge progress in meeting CRCCP program goals and monitor implementation activities, evaluate outcomes, and identify recipients’ TA needs. In addition, data collected will inform program improvement and help identify successful activities that need to be maintained, replicated, or expanded. OMB approval is requested for three years. The total estimated annualized burden is 760 hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.

(OMB Control No. 0920-1074)--Reinstatement--National Center for Chronic 
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC is requesting a Reinstatement of OMB No. 0920-1074. Colorectal 
cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of death from cancer in the 
United States among cancers that affect both men and women. There is 
substantial evidence that CRC screening reduces the incidence of and 
death from the disease. Screening for CRC can detect disease early when 
treatment is more effective, and prevent cancer by finding and removing 
precancerous polyps. Of individuals diagnosed with early stage CRC, 
more than 90% live five or more years. To reduce CRC morbidity, 
mortality, and associated costs, use of CRC screening tests must be 
increased among age-eligible adults with the lowest CRC screening 
rates.
    The purpose of the Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) is to 
partner with health systems and their individual primary care clinics 
to implement evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to increase CRC 
screening among defined populations of adults ages 50-75 that have CRC 
screening rates lower than the national, regional, or local rate. In 
2020, CDC issued the funding opportunity, Public Health and Health

outcomes; clinics' quality improvement and monitoring activities; EBI 
implementation, and additional factors that affect EBI implementation 
over time. The Quarterly Program Update is administered in the month 
following each program quarter (i.e., October, January, April, July) 
and collects standardized recipient-level information on aspects of 
program management, including: quarterly program expenditures, current
