Proposed Project 

CDC Worksite Health Scorecard (OMB 

Control Number 0920–1014, expired 4/ 

30/2017)—Reinstatement with Change— 

National Center for Chronic Disease 

Prevention and Health Promotion 

(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) has established the 

Worksite Health Scorecard (Scorecard), 

an online organizational assessment 

tool, to enable employers to assess the 

number of evidence-based health 

promotion interventions or strategies in 

their worksites to prevent heart disease, 

stroke, and related conditions such as 

hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. 

The CDC Worksite Health Scorecard 

will support small, mid-size, and large 

employer with three primary goals: (1) 

Assist employers in identifying gaps in 

their health promotion programs, and 

help them to prioritize high-impact 

strategies for health promotion at their 

worksites; (2) Improve the health and 

wellbeing of employees and their 

families through science-based 

workplace health interventions and 

promising practices; and (3) Support 

research and increase understanding of 

the organizational programs, policies, 

and practices that employers of various 

sizes and industry sectors have 

implemented to support healthy 

lifestyle behaviors. 

The Scorecard approval under OMB 

Control number 0920–1014 expired at a 

time when it was unclear if resources 

would be available to continue its use. 

Strong commitments from internal and 

external stakeholders have enabled CDC 

to continue to offer a revised Scorecard 

to employers nationwide. CDC is 

requesting a reinstatement with change 

to a previously approved data 

collection. CDC plans to first pilot test 

an updated version of the Scorecard and 

when finalized submit a revision 

request to expand the number of 

employers the new Scorecard is offered 

to. 

From 2014–2016, 1,531 worksites 

have submitted CDC Worksite Health 

Scorecards from employers in 40 

different states. The average employer is 

implementing a little more than half of 

the recommended programmatic, policy, 

environmental support, and healthbenefit intervention strategies assessed 

in the Scorecard. Additionally, those 

employers who have re-assessed at least 

once during this period have seen their 

Scorecard score improve from an 

average of 95.85 points to 139.72 points. 

This represents an improvement in the 

total number of intervention strategies 

being implemented as well as the 

number of best practice and high-impact 

strategies, which garner more points 

improving the work environment for 

employees to improve their health and 

well-being. Overall, exposure to the 

Scorecard is contributing to better and 

more effective work-place health 

program offerings to employees. 

CDC will recruit a convenience 

sample of one hundred employers (each 

represented by two knowledgeable 

employees for 200 total respondents) to 

pilot test and evaluate the updated 

Scorecard. CDC will seek a diverse set 

of employers with respect to size and 

industry type who will be reached 

through meetings, presentations, and 

through gatekeeper organizations to be 

enrolled/registered. The updated 

Scorecard includes questions in four 

new topic areas: Sleep (8 questions); 

Alcohol & Other Substance Abuse (6 

questions); Cancer (7 questions); and 

Musculoskeletal Disorders (7 questions), 

to include minor revisions to previously 

existing questions or adjustment in the 

associated points received for answering 

affirmatively to a question based on 

supporting evidence from the peer 

reviewed literature as well as sources 

such as the Community Guide. 

Additional updates also included 

dropping 20 questions from the prior 

version due to redundancy or lack of 

evidence to support their use. From the 

employers that complete the survey, 

CDC will conduct follow-up telephone 

interviews on a subset of about 16 

employers (each represented by two 

knowledgeable employees, for 32 

respondents in total). The follow-up 

telephone interviews will gather general 

impressions of the Scorecard— 

particularly the new modules and allow 

for discussion of items that presented 

discrepancies (and items that were left 

blank) to understand the respondent’s 

interpretation and perspective of their 

answers these questions. This process 

will assess the validity and reliability of 

the questions, as well as allow CDC to 

gather suggestions for additional 

refinements, where necessary. 

Following this pilot testing, CDC will 

continue to provide outreach to and 

register approximately 800 employers 

per year to use the online survey 

Scorecard in their workplace health 

program assessment, planning, and 

implementation efforts, which is open 

to employers of all sizes, industry 

sectors, and geographic locations across 

the country. 

CDC requests a one-year OMB 

approval for this project. CDC will pilot

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 217 / Monday, November 13, 2017 / Notices 52301 

test the updated Scorecard in year one 

and create a finalized version of the 

instrument based on respondent 

feedback gathered during the pilot. After 

the completion of the pilot test, CDC 

will submit a finalized instrument as a 

revision request for a three-year 

clearance. 

Participation in the CDC Worksite 

Health Scorecard is voluntary and there 

are no costs to respondents other than 

their time. The total estimated 

annualized burden hours are 303.

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; and 

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. 

5. Assess information collection costs.
