6560 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 24 / Friday, February 4, 2022 / Notices 

for cancer survivors. Toward this end, 

the DCPC supports the scientific 

development and implementation of 

various health communication 

campaigns with an emphasis on specific 

cancer burdens. 

This process requires testing of 

messages, concepts, and materials prior 

to their final development and 

dissemination, as described in the 

second step of the health 

communication process. The health 

communication process is a scientific 

model developed by the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services’ National Cancer Institute to 

guide sound campaign development. 

The communication literature supports 

various data collection methods to 

conduct credible formative, concept, 

message, and materials testing. This 

process ensures that the public clearly 

understands cancer-specific information 

and concepts, are motivated to take the 

desired action, and do not react 

negatively to the messages. CDC was 

previously approved to collect 

information needed to plan and tailor 

cancer communication campaigns (OMB 

Control No. 0920–0800, Exp. 10/31/ 

2021), and seeks OMB approval to 

revise the existing generic clearance to 

include another cancer-related 

communications campaign, expand the 

modes of data collection to include 

online focus groups and in-depth 

interviews (in-person, phone, and 

online), and to focus on respondents 

from the general public. 

Information collection will involve 

discussions to assess numerous 

qualitative dimensions of cancer 

prevention and control messages, 

including but not limited to, cancer 

knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral 

intentions, information needs and 

sources, and compliance with cancer 

screening as recommended by the 

United States Preventive Services Task 

Force. Insights gained from these 

discussions will assist in the 

development and/or refinement of 

future campaign messages and 

materials. Communication campaigns 

and messages will vary according to the 

type of cancer and the qualitative 

dimensions of the message described 

above. 

A separate information collection 

request will be submitted to OMB for 

approval of each discussion activity. 

The request will describe the purpose of 

the activity and include the customized 

information collection instruments. 

OMB approval is requested for three 

years. CDC requests OMB approval for 

an estimated 1,680 annual burden 

hours. Participation is voluntary and 

there are no costs to respondents except 

their time.

a national level. 

DATES: CDC must receive written 

comments on or before April 5, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CDC–2022– 

0017 by any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: 

regulations.gov. Follow the instructions 

for submitting comments. 

• Mail: Jeffery M. Zirger, Information

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 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 

Assessment of Outcomes Associated 

with the Preventive Health and Health 

Services Block Grant—Extension— 

Center for State, Tribal, Local and 

Territorial Support (CSTLTS), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

For more than 35 years, the 

Preventive Health and Health Services 

Block Grant (PHHS Block Grant) has 

provided flexible funding for all 50 

states, the District of Columbia, two 

American Indian tribes, five U.S. 

territories, and three freely associated 

states to address the unique public 

health needs of their jurisdictions in 

innovative and locally defined ways. 

First authorized by Congress in 1981 

through the Public Health Service Act 

(Pub. L. 102–531), the fundamental and 

enduring purpose of the grant has been 

to provide grantees with flexibility and 

control to address their priority public 

health needs. In 1992, Congress 

amended the law to align PHHS Block 

Grant funding priorities with the 22 

chapters specified in Healthy People 

(HP) 2000, a set of national objectives 

designed to guide health promotion and 

disease prevention efforts. Additional 

amendments included set-aside funds 

specifically dedicated to sex offense 

prevention and victim services, thus 

requiring grantees receiving this support 

to include related HP objectives and 

activities as part of their PHHS Block 

Grant—funded local programs. 

CDC is establishing a comprehensive, 

standardized method to collect data to 

describe select outputs and outcomes 

and ensure the accountability of the 

PHHS Block Grant. The CDC PHHS 

Block Grant Measurement Framework is 

an innovative approach to assessing 

cross-cutting outputs and outcomes 

resulting from grantees’ use of flexible 

grant funds. The framework defines 

measures that enable CDC to 

standardize the collection of data on 

grantee achievements. The CDC PHHS 

Block Grant Measurement Framework is 

an innovative approach to: Collecting 

data on public health infrastructure (i.e., 

information systems, quality 

improvement, efficiency and 

effectiveness of programs, services, and 

operations); addressing emerging public 

health needs; and implementing 

evidence-based public health 

interventions. 

The purpose of this information 

collection request (ICR) is to collect data 

that assess select cross-cutting outputs 

and outcomes of the grant (as defined by 

the framework measures) and that 

demonstrate the utility of the grant on 

a national level. This data collection 

will describe the outcomes of the PHHS 

Block Grant as a whole, rather than 

individual grantee activities or 

outcomes. Findings from this data 

collection will be used to: (1) Describe 

the outcomes and achievements of 

grantees’ public health efforts and 

identify how the use of PHHS Block 

Grant funds contributed to those results, 

and (2) help assess how the PHHS Block 

Grant advances work of the public 

health system and provides evidence to 

support future budgetary requests. 

The respondent universe consists of 

61 PHHS Block Grant coordinators, or 

their designees, across 61 health 

departments (50 states, the District of 

Columbia, two tribes, five U.S. 

territories, and three freely associated 

states). The assessment will be 

administered to PHHS Block Grant 

coordinators electronically via a webbased questionnaire. A link to the 

assessment will be provided by email 

invitation. The survey will be 

completed once every two years. The 

total annualized estimated burden is 46 

hours.
