Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program 
(DPRP) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection 
Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on July 14, 
2017 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC 
received and responded to 33 unique public comments that were related 
to this notice from both individuals and organizations that are outside 
of CDC. Within those 33 of comments, there were 119 unique questions/
comments that CDC answered. This notice serves to allow an additional 
30 days for public and affected agency comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (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 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Direct written comments 
and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice to the 
Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide 
written comments within 30 days of notice publication.

Proposed Project

    CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP)(OMB Control 
Number 0920-0909, exp. 12/31/2017)--Revision--National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention.

Background and Brief Description

    Evidence from efficacy and effectiveness research studies has shown 
that lifestyle modifications leading to weight loss and increased 
physical activity can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in persons with 
prediabetes or those at high risk of developing type 2. To translate 
these research findings into practice, Section 399V-3 of Public Law 
111-148, directed CDC ``to determine eligibility of entities to deliver 
community-based type 2 diabetes prevention services,'' monitor and 
evaluate the services, and provide technical assistance. To this end, 
CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT) established and 
administers the DPRP as part of the National Diabetes Prevention 
Program, which recognizes organizations that deliver type 2 diabetes 
prevention programs according to requirements set forth in the 
``Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Recognition Program 
Standards and Operating Procedures'' (Standards).
    Currently CDC has 1,363 organizations in its DPRP registry. On July 
7, 2016, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed 
the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP). Sections 1102 and 1871 
of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1302 and 1395hh Sec.  424.59)

[[Page 56027]]

authorized CDC-recognized organizations to prepare for enrollment as 
MDPP suppliers in order to bill CMS for these services beginning in 
2018; only organizations in good standing with the CDC DPRP are 
eligible as MDPP suppliers. CDC anticipates an additional 500 
organizations per year will apply for recognition.
    Previously, in 2011, CDC received OMB approval to collect 
organizational and de-identified participant information needed to 
administer the DPRP (OMB No. 0920-0909, expired 11/30/2014). In 2015, 
CDC renewed these Standards for three years (OMB No. 0920-0909, expires 
12/31/2017) to continue collecting information needed to manage the 
DPRP. Virtual organizations were added in the 2015 Standards based on 
new published evidence and to reach a broader audience.
    Two levels of CDC recognition have been provided: Pending 
recognition for new applicants that have submitted an application and 
meet eligibility criteria defined by the Standards, and Full 
recognition for programs that have demonstrated effectiveness according 
to the Standards. CMS allows for a new recognition status, Preliminary, 
in addition to Pending and Full. MDPP reimbursement is directly tied to 
Preliminary and Full statuses. The intent of this current Standards' 
revision is to align with the CMS MDPP that will be finalized in 2017 
and is scheduled to go in effect January 1, 2018, and to account for 
new evidence in the type 2 diabetes prevention literature. The MDPP 
benefit will scale type 2 diabetes prevention programs more broadly.
