Proposed Project 

Preventive Health and Health Services 

Block Grant, Annual Application and 

Reports, OMB No. 0920–0106–

Extension—National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and brief description:

In 1994, OMB approved the collection 

of information provided in the grant 

applications and annual reports for the 

Preventive Health and Health Services 

(PHHS) Block Grant (OMB No. 0920–

0106). This approval expires on January 

31, 2005. CDC is requesting OMB 

clearance for this legislatively mandated 

information collection until January 31, 

2008. The request is to approve the 

development and adherence to Healthy 

People 2010 (the Nation’s Health 

Objectives) which was released in the 

Spring of 2000. The PHHS block grant 

is mandated according to section 1904 

to adhere to the Healthy People 

framework. 

This information, which is collected 

through the application forms from the 

official State health agencies, is required 

from section 1905 of the Public Health 

Service Act. There is a slight change in 

the proposed information collection 

from previous years. The changes 

include more program specific 

information and the relationship of 

block funded activities to program 

strategy. The information collected from 

the annual report forms is required by 

section 1906. The development of a 

PHHS block grant web page, with data 

web links from existing federal 

databases, will be used to coincide with 

the collection of uniform data for the 

annual report. The availability to collect 

data through internet accessibility will 

allow for a more streamlined and 

efficient use of data processing by the 

states and reduce the states’ burden of 

duplicate reporting on outcome and risk 

factor data. There is no cost to 

respondents except their time to 

complete the application/report.
