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.

Proposed Project

    Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women across the 
Nation (WISEWOMAN) Reporting System (OMB No. 0920-0612, exp. 12/31/
2016)--Extension--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The WISEWOMAN program (Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for 
Women Across the Nation), sponsored by the CDC, was established to 
examine ways to improve the delivery of services for women who have 
limited access to health care and elevated risk factors for 
cardiovascular disease (CVD). The program focuses on reducing CVD risk 
factors and provides screening services for selected risk factors such 
as elevated blood cholesterol, hypertension, and abnormal blood glucose 
levels. The program also provides women with referrals to lifestyle 
programs and medical care. The WISEWOMAN program provides services to 
women who are jointly enrolled in the National Breast and Cervical 
Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), also administered by CDC.
    The WISEWOMAN program is administered by state health departments 
and tribal programs. In 2013, new cooperative agreements were awarded 
under Funding Opportunity Announcement DP13-1302. These awards are 
currently in the final year of funding, but may be extended by CDC for 
one additional year, subject to the availability of funds.
    CDC collects two types of information from WISEWOMAN awardees. The 
hardcopy Annual Progress Report provides a narrative summary of each 
awardee's objectives and the activities undertaken to meet program 
goals. The estimated burden per response is 16 hours.
    In addition, each WISEWOMAN awardee submits an electronic data file 
to CDC twice per year. The Minimum Data Elements (MDE) file contains 
de-identified, client-level information about the cardiovascular 
disease risk factors of women served by the program, and the number and 
type of lifestyle program sessions they attend. The estimated burden 
per response for the MDE file is 24 hours.
    CDC seeks a one-year extension to enable reporting for the final 
year of activities funded under the current cooperative agreement and 
the option year, subject to the availability of funds. There are no 
changes to the information collected, the burden per response, 
reporting frequency, the number of awardees, or the total annualized 
burden hours.
    CDC will continue to use the information collected from WISEWOMAN 
awardees to support program monitoring and improvement activities, 
evaluation, and assessment of program outcomes. The overall program 
evaluation is designed to demonstrate how WISEWOMAN can obtain more 
complete health data on vulnerable populations, promote public 
education about disease incidence, cardiovascular disease risk-factors, 
health promotion, improve the availability of screening and diagnostic 
services for under-served women, ensure the quality of services 
provided to underserved women, and develop strategies for improved 
interventions.
    OMB approval is requested for one year. Participation in this 
information collection is required as a condition of cooperative 
agreement funding. There are no costs to respondents other than their 
time. The total annualized burden hours are 1,344.
