Abstract: CDC proposes to revise and reinstate the previously-approved data collection instrument related to the public health infrastructure and performance of local boards of health. The target audience for this instrument is the local public health governing entity that is ultimately accountable for public health governance at the local level. The data collection instrument solicits comprehensive data about the capacity of the local governing entity (generally the local board of health) in overseeing the delivery of the ten Essential Public Health Services. The instrument has been revised to reflect changes in public health practice, ensure that the standards reflect current public health content, and incorporate opportunities to improve the user-friendliness. This data collection is used by responding local jurisdictions as well as by CDC and national partners. Respondents (local boards of health and representatives from their local public health agencies) use this data collection instrument as both an educational and orientation tool for board members and as a self-assessment that identifies strengths and weaknesses upon which they can base strategic planning and performance improvement efforts. CDC and other national partners use the aggregate national data to monitor progress toward the accomplishment of national infrastructure objectives included in Healthy People 2010 and to strengthen our understanding of strengths and weaknesses in state and local public health practice. Such information is critical for making better and more effective policy and resource decisions that will improve the nation's public health as a whole.

Short Statement: The data collection instrument was revised based on feedback from past users and expert input from the field. CDC and its partners revised the instrument to incorporate recent changes in public health practice and ensure the content remained current. In addition, the instrument length was reduced by cutting unnecessary subquestions, streamlining the instrument, and improving the language to ensure clarity. Please note: Although this reistatement request appears as a burden decrease in ROCIS, it is actually a burden increase.
