polyps. Of individuals diagnosed with 

early stage CRC, more than 90% live 

five or more years. Despite strong 

evidence supporting screening, only 

68.8% of adults currently report being 

up-to-date with CRC screening as 

recommended by the U.S. Preventive 

Services Task Force in 2018, with more 

than 22 million age-eligible adults 

estimated to be untested. To reduce CRC 

morbidity, mortality, and associated 

costs, use of CRC screening tests must 

be increased among age-eligible adults 

with the lowest CRC screening rates. 

The purpose of the Colorectal Cancer 

Control Program (CRCCP) is to partner 

with health systems and their 

individual primary care clinics to 

implement Evidence-based 

interventions (EBIs) to increase CRC 

screening among defined populations of 

adults ages 50–75 that have CRC 

screening rates lower than the national, 

regional, or local rate. In 2020, CDC 

issued the funding opportunity, Public 

Health and Health System Partnerships 

to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening 

in Clinical Settings (DP20–2002), a 5- 

year cooperative agreement to increase 

CRC screening among defined 

populations of adults ages 50–75 that 

have CRC screening rates lower than the 

national, regional, or local rate. DP20– 

2002 funds recipients to partner with 

health systems and their primary care 

clinics to implement multiple EBIs, 

partner with organizations to support 

implementation of EBIs in those clinics, 

and collect high-quality clinic-level data 

when a clinic is recruited to participate 

(baseline) and annually thereafter to 

monitor EBI implementation and assess 

screening rate changes. DP20–2002 also 

requires recipients to conduct a formal 

capacity/readiness assessment of 

potential clinics to implement EBIs, use 

assessment findings to select 

appropriate EBIs for implementation, 

and provide clinics with limited 

financial resources to support follow-up 

colonoscopies for under- and uninsured 

patients after an abnormal CRC 

screening test. 

CDC proposes three information 

collections—the Annual Awardee 

Survey, the Clinic-Level Data Collection 

Instrument, and the Quarterly Program 

Update—to reflect the strategies and 

objectives detailed in DP20–2002. CDC 

will conduct data collections for each of 

these three proposed activities among 

all 35 recipients following the end of 

each program year which runs from July 

1–June 30. 

The Annual Awardee Survey assesses: 

(1) program management; (2) clinic 

readiness assessment activities; (3) data 

management; (4) technical assistance 

(TA) needs; (5) partnerships; and (6) the 

effect of COVID–19 on CRC 

implementation at the recipient level. 

The Clinic-level Information 

Collection Instrument assesses: (1) 

health system and clinic characteristics; 

(2) program reach; (3) CRC screening 

practices and outcomes; (4) clinics’ 

quality improvement and monitoring 

activities; (5) EBI implementation; and 

(6) additional factors that affect EBI 

implementation over time. 

The Quarterly Program Update will 

collect standardized recipient-level 

information on aspects of program 

management, including: (1) quarterly 

program expenditures; (2) current staff 

vacancies; (3) program successes and 

challenges; (4) current TA needs; and (5) 

the effect of COVID–19 on CRCCP 

implementation at the recipient level. 

These data are collected quarterly to 

enable rapid reporting of programmatic 

information to support CDC program 

consultants in providing tailored and 

meaningful TA. 

This information collection enables 

CDC to gauge progress in meeting 

CRCCP program goals and monitor 

implementation activities, evaluate 

outcomes, and identify recipients’ TA 

needs. In addition, data collected will 

inform program improvement and help 

identify successful activities that need 

to be maintained, replicated, or 

expanded. CDC is requesting a 3-year 

Extension to the Colorectal Cancer 

Control Program (CRCCP) Monitoring 

Activities collection (OMB No. 0920– 

1074). The total estimated annualized 

burden is 760 hours.

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies 

to publish a 30-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension or 

reinstatement of an existing collection 

of information, before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, CMS is 

publishing this notice that summarizes 

the following proposed collection(s) of 

information for public comment: 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: 1915(c) Home

Waiver Application; Use: Although we 

published a Federal Register notice on 

September 11, 2023 (88 FR 62377) that 

set out revisions to what is active and 

currently approved by OMB, this

that does not propose any change. The 

subsequent 30-day notice for the 

September 11, 2023, revisions is 

expected to publish in the Federal 

Register in January/February 2024. We 

use the application to review and 

adjudicate individual waiver actions. 

The application is also used by states to 

submit and revise their waiver requests.
