ACTION: Notice with comment period. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed and/or continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled CDC Worksite Health Scorecard, an updated organizational assessment and planning tool designed to help employers identify gaps in their health promotion programs and prioritize high-impact strategies for health promotion at their worksites. DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before December 21, 2018. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2018- 0096 by any of the following methods:Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329. Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments to Regulations.gov. Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking portal (regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the address listed above. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329; phone: 404-639-7570; Email: omb@cdc.gov. 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 the OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described below. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help: 1. 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; 2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. 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 submissions of responses. 5. Assess information collection costs. Proposed Project CDC Worksite Health ScoreCard--Revision--(OMB# 0920-1014 Exp. 02/ 28/2019) National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description In the United States, chronic diseases such as heart disease, obesity and diabetes are among the leading causes of death and disability. Although chronic diseases are among the most common and costly health problems, they are also among the most preventable. Adopting healthy behaviors--such as eating nutritious foods, being physically active and avoiding tobacco use--can prevent the devastating effects and reduce the rates of these diseases. Employers are recognizing the role they can play in creating healthy work environments and providing employees with opportunities to make healthy lifestyle choices. To support these efforts, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed an online organizational assessment tool called the CDC Worksite Health Scorecard (``Scorecard''). The Scorecard is a tool designed to help employers assess whether they have implemented evidence-based health promotion interventions or strategies in their worksites to prevent heart disease, stroke, and related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. The updated, validated, and pilot tested instrument contains 154 core health topic yes/no questions, eight core worksite demographic questions, with an additional eight optional worksite demographic questions divided into 19 modules (risk factors/conditions/ demographics) that assess how evidence-based health promotion strategies are implemented at a worksite. These strategies include health promoting counseling services, environmental supports, policies, health plan benefits, and other worksite programs shown to be effective in preventing heart disease, stroke, and related health conditions. Employers can use this tool to assess how a comprehensive health promotion and disease prevention program is offered to their employees, to help identify program gaps, and to prioritize high impact strategies for health promotion at the worksite. [[Page 53253]] This is a revised Information Collection Request (ICR) supporting a broader group of employers to access the updated and pilot tested Scorecard, a web-based worksite organizational assessment, to regularly assess their workplace health programs and practices. Scorecard users will create a user account, complete the online assessment and receive an immediate feedback report that summarizes the current status of their worksite health program; identifies gaps in current programming; benchmarks individual employer results against other users of the system; and provides access to worksite health tools and resources to address employer gaps and priority program areas. The updated Scorecard is based on a 2017 pilot test to determine the validity and reliability involving 89 employers (each represented by two knowledgeable employees) who completed the survey and follow-up telephone interviews to gather general impressions of the Scorecard-- particularly the new modules--and also to discuss items where there were discrepancies (and items that were left blank) to understand the respondent's interpretation and perspective of their answers to these questions. The revised instrument includes some reorganization of the instrument and minor revisions, particularly to the new modules/ questions, to better explain and define the context, concepts, or administration of the strategies and interventions contained in the questions has been completed. This will streamline future information collection and minimize additional response time. CDC will continue to provide outreach to, and register approximately 800 employers per year to use the online Scorecard survey in their workplace health program assessment, planning, and implementation efforts, which is open to employers of all sizes, industry sectors, and geographic locations across the country. OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time.
