requirements for awardees, minimize 

respondent burden, facilitate 

collaborative efforts and provide 

common performance metrics across 

program areas. The collaborative 

cooperative agreement is part of an 

initiative within NCCDPHP to 

standardize and streamline the funding 

and performance monitoring processes 

for programs funded through the Center; 

to promote more efficient ways to use 

resources; and to achieve greater health 

impact. The objectives for awardees, 

and the performance indicators defined 

for them, reflect CDC’s support for more 

integrated approaches to the prevention 

and control of chronic conditions. 

Awardees will use the information 

collection to manage and coordinate 

their activities and to improve their 

efforts to prevent and control chronic 

diseases. The MIS will allow awardees 

to fulfill their reporting obligations 

under the cooperative agreements in an 

efficient manner by employing a single 

instrument to collect necessary 

information for both progress reports 

and continuation applications including 

work plans. 

CDC will use the information 

collected in the MIS to monitor each 

awardee’s progress and to make 

adjustments, as needed, in the type and 

level of technical assistance provided to 

them. The information collection will 

allow CDC to oversee the use of Federal 

funds, and identify and disseminate 

information about successful prevention 

and control strategies implemented by 

awardees. CDC will also use the 

information collection to respond to 

Congressional and stakeholder inquiries 

about chronic disease control activities, 

program implementation, and program 

impact. Finally, the information 

collection will allow CDC to evaluate 

the success of the collaborative funding 

model which places increased emphasis 

on partnerships as well as policy and 

environmental strategies for preventing 

and controlling chronic diseases. 

Information will be collected from 

each State-based program twice per 

year. There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time.

Proposed Project: Healthcare Integrity 

and Protection Data Bank for Final 

Adverse Information on Health Care 

Providers, Suppliers and Practitioners 

(45 CFR 61) (OMB No. 0915–0239)— 

[Extension] 

This is a request for extension of OMB 

approval of the information collections 

contained in regulations found in 45 

CFR part 61 governing the Healthcare 

Integrity and Protection Data Bank 

(HIPDB) and the forms to be used in 

reporting information to and requesting 

information from the HIPDB cleared 

under OMB No. 0915–0239. The HIPDB 

is authorized by section 1128E of the 

Social Security Act (hereinafter referred 

to as section 1128E), as added by section 

221(a) of the Health Insurance 

Portability and Accountability Act of 

1996. Section 1128E directs the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

(the Secretary) to establish a national 

health care fraud and abuse data 

collection program for the reporting and 

disclosing of certain final adverse 

actions (excluding settlements in which 

no findings of liability have been made) 

taken against health care providers, 

suppliers, or practitioners. It also directs 

the Secretary to maintain a database of 

final adverse actions taken against 

health care providers, suppliers, or 

practitioners. The regulations 

implementing section 1128E governing 

the operation of the HIPDB are codified 

at 45 CFR part 61. The HIPDB became 

operational November 22, 1999. 

Approval is requested to continue the 

following reporting data collection and 

disclosure requirements and the ensuing 

HIPDB forms along with the 

instructions. The recordkeeping, 

reporting, and disclosure requirements 

are specified in the regulations to 

implement the HIPDB. The annual 

estimate of burden is as follows:
