Proposed Project 

National Public Health Performance 

Standards Program Local Public Health 

System Assessment (OMB 0920–0555)— 

Revision—Office of Chief of Public 

Health Practice (OCPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Office of Chief of Public Health 

Practice is proposing to revise the 

formal, voluntary data collection that 

assesses the capacity of local public 

health systems to deliver the essential 

services of public health. Local health 

departments will respond to the survey 

on behalf of the collective body of 

representatives from the local public 

health system. Electronic data 

submission will be used when local 

public health agencies complete the 

public health assessment. 

A three-year approval is being sought 

with the revised data collection 

instrument. The original data collection 

instrument has been valuable in 

assessing performance and capacity and 

identifying areas for improvement. It is 

anticipated that the updated data 

collection instrument will be 

voluntarily used by local public health 

systems for similar purposes. 

From 1998–2002, the National Public 

Health Performance Standards Program 

convened workgroups with the National 

Association of County and City Health 

Officials (NACCHO), The Association of 

State and Territorial Health Officials 

(ASTHO), the National Association of 

Local Boards of Health (NALBOH), the 

American Public Health Association 

(APHA), and the Public Health 

Foundation (PHF) to develop 

performance standards for public health 

systems based on the essential services 

of public health. In 2005, CDC 

reconvened workgroups with these 

same organizations to revise the data 

collection instruments, in order to 

ensure the standards remain current and 

improve user friendliness. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

5600.
