Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a 
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC at (404) 639-7570 or send an email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#553a3837153631367b323a23"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="147b7976547770773a737b62">[email protected]</span></a>. Send written 
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 
Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Written comments should be 
received within 30 days of this notice.

Economic Analysis in Select Communities--New--National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    As part of a multi-component evaluation plan for the Community 
Transformation Grant program (CTG), CDC is seeking OMB approval to 
collect the information needed to conduct cost and cost-benefit 
analyses relating to the implementation of CTG-funded community 
interventions. Using a system dynamics approach, CDC also plans to 
conduct simulation modeling which will integrate the cost data with 
other data to predict selected chronic disease outcomes and their 
associated monetary impacts under various scenarios. CDC and NIH have 
previously collaborated on the development of analytic tools for system 
dynamics modeling under more limited conditions. The collection and 
analysis of actual cost data from CTG awardees will support the 
expansion and refinement of these analytic tools with respect to short-
, intermediate- and long-term outcomes for large-scale, community-based 
programs that employ multiple policy and environmental change 
strategies.
    Information to be collected from participating CTG awardees 
includes the interventions to be implemented; expenditures for labor, 
personnel, consultants, materials, travel, services, and 
administration; in-kind contributions; and partner organizations and 
their expenditures. Information will be collected electronically via a 
user-friendly, Web-based CTG Cost Study Instrument (CTG-CSI). 
Respondents will be a subset of 30 out of 35 CTG awardees funded 
specifically for implementation activities. CDC will select awardees 
for participation in the cost data collection based on a list of 
priority interventions appropriate for cost analysis.
    Results of this data collection and planned analyses, including 
improvements in CDC's analytic and modeling tools, will be used to 
assist CTG awardees, CDC, and HHS in choosing intervention approaches 
for particular populations that are both beneficial to public health 
and cost-effective.
    OMB approval is requested for the first three years of a five-year 
project. CDC requests OMB approval by June 1, 2012, to initiate data 
collection on July 1, 2012. CDC plans to seek an extension of OMB 
approval to support information collection through the end of the five-
year award period.
    Information will be collected electronically on a quarterly 
schedule. The estimated burden per response is 13 hours and there are 
no costs to respondents except their time to participate in the survey. 
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1,560.
