Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted 
the following information collection request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed 
information collection is published to obtain comments from the public 
and affected agencies.
    Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are 
encouraged. Your comments should address any of the following: (a) 
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; (b) Evaluate the 
accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed 
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; (d) 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 submission of responses; and 
(e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call

Proposed Project

    Division of Community Health (DCH) Awardee Training Needs 
Assessment--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established 
the Division of Community Health (DCH) to support multi-sector, 
community-based programs that promote healthy living. To support these 
efforts, DCH announced two new cooperative agreement programs in 2014, 
as authorized by the Public Health Service

[[Page 22194]]

Act. Both programs will apply public health strategies to reduce 
tobacco use and exposure, improve nutrition, increase physical 
activity, and improve access to opportunities for chronic disease 
prevention, risk reduction, and management.
    The Partnerships to Improve Community Health (PICH) program 
(Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DP14-1417) will promote the use 
of evidence- and practice-based strategies to create or strengthen 
healthy environments that make it easier for people to make healthy 
choices and take charge of their health. The 39 PICH awardees include 
both state and local governmental agencies and nongovernmental 
organizations. Awardees will work through multi-sector community 
coalitions of businesses, schools, nonprofit organizations, and other 
community organizations. Projects will serve three types of geographic 
areas: Large cities and urban counties, small cities and counties, and 
American Indian tribes.
    The new Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) 
cooperative agreement (FOA DP14-1419PPHF14) builds on previous REACH 
program activities that began in 1999 with a focus on racial and ethnic 
communities experiencing health disparities. The 49 new REACH awardees 
include local governmental agencies, community-based nongovernmental 
organizations, tribes and tribal organizations, Urban Indian Health 
Programs, and tribal and intertribal consortia. Of these awardees, 17 
are receiving funds for basic implementation activities, and 32 are 
receiving funds to immediately expand their scope of work to improve 
health and reduce health disparities. REACH is financed in part by the 
Prevention and Public Health Fund of the Affordable Care Act.
    CDC proposes to collect information needed to assess and prioritize 
the training needs of PICH and REACH awardees and key collaborators. A 
DCH Training Needs Assessment survey will be conducted at two points in 
time: once near the beginning of the project period (approximately 
third quarter of 2015) and again in the second year of the project 
period (last quarter of 2016). The first administration of the survey 
will provide an initial assessment of awardee needs at program start-
up. The second administration of the needs assessment will identify any 
new or modified training needs that arise as awardees progress in their 
cooperative agreement activities. Questions within the needs assessment 
focus on awardee preferences for training modalities as well as 
facilitators and barriers to training access.
    Respondents will be staff members and coalition members associated 
with the 88 DCH awardees. Information will be requested from four 
individuals affiliated with each award: The principal investigator or 
program manager, the lead evaluation staff member, the lead media/
communications staff member, and a coalition member. The maximum number 
of respondents is 352 (88 awardees x 4 respondents/awardee). Because 
the REACH and PICH awards aim to promote collaborative, multi-sector 
efforts, respondents will be associated with both private sector 
entities and state, local, and tribal government entities.
    The same survey instrument will be administered to all respondents, 
however the estimated burden per response varies according to the 
respondent's project role and responsibilities. Information will be 
collected using a Web-based platform. Data collection and management 
will be conducted by a contractor on behalf of CDC. A telephone 
interview option is available for respondents who prefer this mode of 
participation.
    Findings will enable DCH to develop appropriate training activities 
that best support awardees' community efforts to fulfill their funded 
objectives.
    OMB approval is requested for two years. Participation is voluntary 
and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 237.
