Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on the information 
collection project entitled ``Colorectal Cancer Control Program CRCCP) 
Monitoring Activities''. CDC is requesting a reinstatement with change

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 OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

Background and Brief Description

    CDC is requesting a reinstatement with change of the information 
collection with the OMB Control number 0920-1074, formerly entitled 
``Annual Survey of Colorectal Cancer Control Activities Conducted by 
States and Tribal Organizations.'' In the previous OMB approval period, 
information collection consisted of an annual grantee survey. In the 
next OMB approval period, information collection will consist of a 
redesigned survey and a new clinic-level data collection. The number of 
respondents will increase and the total estimated annualized burden 
will increase.
    Among cancers that affect both men and women, colorectal cancer 
(CRC) is

[[Page 3140]]

the second leading cause of death from cancer in the United States. CRC 
screening has been shown to reduce 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. Despite strong evidence supporting screening, 
only 65% of adults currently report being up-to-date with CRC screening 
as recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, with more 
than 22 million age-eligible adults estimated to be untested. 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.
    CDC's Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) currently provides 
funding to 31 grantees under ``Organized Approaches to Increase 
Colorectal Cancer Screening'' (CDC-RFA-DP15-1502). CRCCP grantees 
include state governments or bona-fide agents, universities, and tribal 
organizations. The purpose of the new cooperative agreement program is 
to increase CRC screening rates among an applicant defined target 
population of persons 50-75 years of age within a partner health system 
serving a defined geographical area or disparate population.
    The CRCCP was significantly redesigned in 2015 and has two 
components. Under Component 1, all 31 CRCCP grantees receive funding to 
support partnerships with health systems to implement up to four 
priority evidence-based interventions (EBIs) described in the Guide to 
Community Preventive Services, as well as other supporting strategies. 
Grantees must implement at least two EBIs in each partnering health 
system. Under Component 2, 6 of the 31 CRCCP grantees will provide 
direct screening and follow-up clinical services for a limited number 
of individuals aged 50-64 in the program's priority population who are 
asymptomatic, at average risk for CRC, have inadequate or no health 
insurance for CRC screening, and are low income
    Based on the redesigned CRCCP, the information collection plan has 
also been redesigned to address the two program components. The new 
cooperative agreement program (CDC-RFA-DP15-1502) requires that CDC 
monitor and evaluate the CRCCP and individual grantee performance using 
both process and outcome evaluation. Two forms of data collection are 
proposed. First, the CRCCP grantee survey was redesigned to align with 
new CRCCP goals. The grantee survey will be submitted to CDC annually. 
Second, CDC proposes to collect clinic-level data to assess changes in 
CDC's primary outcome of interest, i.e., CRC screening rates within 
partner health systems. Each grantee will complete a clinic-level data 
template once per month. All information will be reported to CDC 
electronically.
    The information collection will enable CDC to gauge progress in 
meeting CRCCP program goals and to monitor implementation activities, 
evaluate outcomes, and identify grantee technical assistance needs. In 
addition, findings will inform program improvement and help identify 
successful activities that need to be maintained, replicated, or 
expanded.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is 
required for CRCCP awardees. There are no costs to respondents other 
than their time.
