leadership survey will be sent to the 

clinic directors in each of the 43 clinics 

that participated in the DDI across the 

10 locations to obtain information on 

the cost of delivering the medical 

services required in diabetes screening 

and diagnosis; and (3) a patient survey 

will be administered to a sample of 600 

patients at the 43 participating clinics to 

obtain information regarding patient 

out-of-pocket medical and non-medical 

direct health care costs and the 

perceived economic benefits of diabetes 

screening. The results of the study will 

also provide information needed for 

conducting a more complete costeffectiveness analysis of screening for 

undiagnosed diabetes. 

The local implementation team 

survey will be mailed to the local DDI 

implementation team leader in each of 

the 10 regions to collect information 

regarding the staff time and other 

resources used to implement the DDI 

program (including the staff time and 

resources used by community-based 

organizations that participated in the 

DDI implementation). These planning 

and implementation activities include 

participating in meetings and 

conference calls, recruiting clinics and 

community-based organizations to 

participate in the DDI, distributing risk 

tests, organizing health fairs and other 

community events, and designing media 

campaigns to promote the DDI. 

The health clinic leadership survey 

will be mailed to the clinic director at 

each of the 43 clinics across the 10 

locations that participated in the DDI 

implementation. The survey will collect 

information regarding the costs 

associated with the clinic’s participation 

in the DDI. These will include the 

medical costs of providing care to 

patients who visited the clinic as a 

result of the DDI, staff time associated 

with DDI planning and implementation, 

and any staff time that was devoted to 

performing finger stick tests at locations 

other than the health clinic (e.g., health 

fairs, shopping malls, work sites, 

housing complexes). Of the 43 clinics to 

be surveyed, we expect that 30 (70%) 

will complete the survey. 

A computer-assisted in-person patient 

survey will be administered to a sample 

of 600 clinic patients at the 43 clinics 

that participated in the DDI. The survey 

will collect background information, 

out-of-pocket medical and non-medical 

direct health care costs (e.g., copayments, transportation costs, value of 

patients’ time associated with the clinic 

visit), and preferred features of a 

diabetes screening program. There are 

no costs to respondents other than their 

time.

Proposed Data Collections Submitted 

for Public Comment and 

Recommendations 

In compliance with the requirement 

of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for 

opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects, the 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic 

summaries of proposed projects. To 

request more information on the 

proposed projects or to obtain a copy of 

the data collection plans and 

instruments, call 404–639–5960 and 

send comments to Joan Karr, CDC

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)

Proposed Project 

Racial and Ethnic Approaches to 

Community Health across the U.S. 

(REACH US) Management Information 

System (MIS)—New—National Center 

for Chronic Disease Prevention and 

Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Racial and Ethnic Approaches to 

Community Health (REACH) currently 

funds forty local coalitions to establish 

community based programs and 

culturally appropriate interventions to 

eliminate racial and ethnic health 

disparities. Communities served by 

REACH include: African American, 

American Indian, Hispanic American, 

Asian American, and Pacific Islander. 

These communities select among infant 

mortality, deficits in breast and cervical 

cancer screening and management, 

cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, HIV/ 

AIDS, and deficits in childhood and 

adult immunizations to focus their 

interventions. Guided by logic models, 

each community articulates goals, 

objectives, and related activities; tracks 

whether goals and objectives are met, 

ongoing, or revised; and evaluates all 

program activities. This information 

will then be entered into the REACH 

Management Information System 

(REACH MIS). REACH MIS is a 

customized internet-based support 

system that allows REACH grantees to 

perform remote data entry and retrieval 

of data. The contract for our current 

Information Network (REACH IN), OMB 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 38 / Tuesday, February 27, 2007 / Notices 8739 

control number 0920–0603, (Expires 02/ 

28/2010) is expected to end and since 

we will not be renewing the contract 

CDC is developing its own system. 

This support system is designed to 

create on-demand graphs and reports of 

grantees’ activities and 

accomplishments, monitor progress 

toward the achievement of goals and 

objectives, and share and synthesize 

information across grantees’ activities. 

Both quantitative and qualitative 

analyses can be performed. 

The REACH Management Information 

System will collect in electronic format: 

(a) Data needed to measure progress 

toward, or achievement of, newly 

developed performance indicators, (b) 

information on REACH grantees that is 

currently being reported in hard-copy 

documents. An Internet-based 

management information system will 

allow CDC to monitor, and report on, 

grantee activities more efficiently. Data 

reported to CDC through the REACH 

management information system will be 

used by CDC to identify training and 

technical assistance needs, monitor 

compliance with cooperative agreement 

requirements, evaluate the progress 

made in achieving center-specific goals, 

and obtain information needed to 

respond to Congressional and other 

inquiries regarding program activities 

and effectiveness. 

The annualized estimated burden is 

based on 40 respondents. It is estimated 

that they each will use the system four 

times a year to enter data, each data 

entry taking about 45 minutes. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time.
