[60Day-25-0612; Docket No. CDC-2024-0083]


Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice with comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part 
of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the 
utility of government information, invites the general public and other 
federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a continuing information 
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This 
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project 
titled Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the 
Nation (WISEWOMAN) Reporting System. The WISEWOMAN program is designed 
to prevent, detect, and control, hypertension and other cardiovascular 
disease (CVD) risk factors through services such as health coaching, 
and evidence informed lifestyle programs, which are tailored for 
individual and group behavior change.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before December 24, 
2024.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2024-
0083 by of either the following methods:
    <bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov. Follow 
the instructions for submitting comments.
    <bullet> Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review 
Office, Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS H21-8, 
Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments 
to www.regulations.gov.
    Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking 
portal (www.regulations.gov )or by U.S. mail to the address listed 
above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the 
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan 
and instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires 
federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new 
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses; and
    5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project

    Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the 
Nation (WISEWOMAN) Reporting System (OMB Control No. 0920-0612, Exp. 3/
31/2025)--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease and Prevention 
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the 
Nation (WISEWOMAN) program sponsored by the CDC, provides services to 
low income, uninsured, or underinsured women aged 35-64. The WISEWOMAN 
program is designed to prevent, detect, and control hypertension and 
other cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors through healthy 
behavior support services which are tailored for individual and group 
behavior change. The WISEWOMAN program provides services to 
participants who are jointly enrolled in the National Breast and 
Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), which is also 
administered by CDC.
    The WISEWOMAN program is administered by state health departments 
and tribal programs. In 2023, a new five-year cooperative agreement was 
awarded under Funding Opportunity Announcement DP23-0003, subject to 
the availability of funds. CDC collects two types of information from 
WISEWOMAN awardees. The WISEWOMAN awardee submits an electronic data 
file to CDC twice per year. The Minimum Data Elements (MDE) file 
contains data using a unique identifier with client-level information 
about CVD risk factors and types of healthy behavior support services 
for participants served by the program. The estimated burden per 
response for the MDE file is 25 hours. The Annual Progress Report 
provides a narrative summary of each awardee's objectives and the 
activities undertaken to meet program goals. The estimated burden per 
response is 16 hours.
    The WISEWOMAN Program is requesting three additional years to 
continue data collection. The 2024 OMB Directive 15 for a combined race 
and ethnicity question will replace the separate race and ethnicity 
minimum data elements. Two MDEs are being deleted and two MDEs are 
being added, and a response option is being added to one MDE. There are 
no changes to overall burden. CDC will continue to use the information 
collected from WISEWOMAN awardees to support program monitoring and 
improvement activities, program assessment, and evaluation of program 
outcomes. The overall program evaluation helps to demonstrate program 
accomplishments and strengthen the evidence for strategy implementation 
for improved engagement of underserved populations. It can also 
determine whether the identified strategies and associated activities 
can be implemented at various levels within a state or tribal 
organization. The data collection is designed to demonstrate how 
WISEWOMAN can obtain CVD health outcome data on at-risk populations, 
promote public education about CVD risk-factors, and improve the 
availability of healthy behavior support services for under-served 
participants.
    This is a Revision for the WISEWOMAN information collection (OMB 
Control No. 0920-0612, Exp. 03/31/2025). Participation in this 
information collection is required as a condition of cooperative 
agreement funding. There are no costs to respondents other than their 
time. The total estimated annual burden hours are 2,640.
