Proposed Project 

Monitoring and Reporting System for 

Chronic Disease Prevention and Control 

Programs—New—National Center for 

Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Chronic diseases are the leading 

causes of death and disability in the 

United States, accounting for seven of 

every ten deaths and affecting the 

quality of life for 90 million Americans. 

Chronic diseases represent 83% of all 

U.S. health care spending. 

The National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP) provides 

funding to health departments in States, 

territories, and the District of Columbia 

to implement and evaluate chronic 

disease prevention and control 

programs. Traditionally, support has 

been provided through cooperative 

agreements that are specific to a chronic 

disease or condition. In 2009, CDC 

announced a new cooperative 

agreement program for collaborative 

chronic disease prevention and health 

promotion programs (RFA DP09–901; 

authorized under sections 301, 307, 310, 

and 311 of the Public Health Service Act 

[42 U.S.C. 241 and 247(b)(k)). The new 

program streamlines funding, 

communication and collaboration in 

four areas that have previously been 

funded and evaluated independently: 

Tobacco control, diabetes prevention 

and control, State-based surveillance 

through the Behavioral Risk Factor 

Surveillance System (BRFSS), and the 

Healthy Communities initiative. 

Awardees are the 50 States, the District 

of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin 

Islands. The new cooperative agreement 

encourages each awardee to collaborate 

with partners (both internal and 

external to the State health department) 

to develop and implement a multi-year, 

statewide strategic plan. 

CDC requests OMB approval to collect 

information from the four specified 

State programs through a new, 

electronic Management Information 

System (MIS). Upon approval, the new 

information collection system will 

replace two previously approved 

information collections for tobacco 

control programs (OMB No. 0920–0601, 

exp. 5/31/2010), and diabetes 

prevention and control programs (OMB 

No. 0920–0479, exp. 4/30/2013), and 

harmonize their content. In addition, 

the new MIS will provide a common 

progress reporting framework for Statebased BRFSS programs and Healthy 

Community programs, which have 

previously reported progress 

information to CDC using standard 

progress reporting forms for cooperative 

agreement awardees (OMB No. 4040– 

0004, exp. 3/31/2012). 

Information will be collected on each 

program’s objectives, planning 

activities, resources, partnerships, 

policy and environmental strategies for 

preventing or controlling chronic 

diseases, and progress toward meeting 

goals. The increased emphasis on 

partnership and collaboration is 

intended to identify priorities, gaps in 

chronic disease prevention and health 

promotion activities, and opportunities 

to leverage CDC and State (Federal and 

non-Federal) resources. Information will 

be collected electronically through a 

new Management Information System 

(MIS). The collection of information, in 

a uniform and efficient manner, will 

reduce duplicative reporting

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:
