and Budget (OMB) to continue data
collection activities of the HIV rapid
testing performance evaluation program
(MPEP HIV RT) and to make changes to
the results form.
This program offers external
performance evaluation (PE) twice a
year for rapid HIV tests approved by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). Participation in PE programs is
expected to lead to improved HIV
testing performance because
participants have the opportunity to
identify areas for improvement in their
testing practices. This program helps to
ensure accurate HIV rapid testing which
is the foundation for HIV prevention
and intervention programs.
This program offers laboratories/
testing sites opportunities for:

(1) Assuring that the laboratories/
testing sites are providing accurate test
results through external quality
assessment;
(2) Improving testing quality through
self-evaluation in a non-regulatory
environment;
(3) Testing well characterized samples
from a source outside the test kit
manufacturer;
(4) Discovering potential testing
problems so that laboratories/testing
sites can adjust procedures to reduce
and eliminate errors;
(5) Comparing individual laboratory/
testing site results to others at the
national and international level, and;
(6) Consulting with CDC staff to
discuss testing issues.
Program participants receive PE
samples twice each year and report
testing results to CDC. In addition to

conducting the performance evaluation,
participants in the MPEP HIV Rapid
Testing program are required to
complete a biennial (every other year)
laboratory practices questionnaire. The
burden for the Laboratory Practices
Questionnaire has been adjusted for the
average per year, since respondents
complete the survey every two years. In
addition, with this request, CDC is
adding an Enrollment Form for new
participants and an Information Change
Form to enable participants to update
current contact information. CDC does
not charge any fees to sites participating
in this external quality assessment
program.
There is no cost to respondents to
participate in this program. The total
annualized burden for this data
collection is 387 hours.

to improve the infrastructure of State
and territorial oral health departments,
strengthening and enhancing program
capacity related to monitoring the
population’s oral health status and
behaviors, developing effective
programs to improve the oral health of
children and adults, evaluating program
accomplishments, and informing key
stakeholders, including policy makers,
of program results. Through a
cooperative agreement program, CDC
provides funding to oral health
programs in states and territories.
Funding is used to strengthen the states’
core oral health infrastructure and
capacity and to reduce health disparities
among high-risk groups.
The CDC collects information from
State- and territory-based awardees to
support oral health program
management, consulting and evaluation.
Information is submitted through and
stored in an electronic management
information system (MIS), which
provides a central, standardized and
searchable repository of information
about the awardee’s objectives,
programmatic activities, performance
indicators, and financial status. The MIS
increases the efficiency and consistency
with which applications, budgets, and
reports are prepared and reviewed;
facilitates program evaluation; reduces

data/information redundancy by
integrating existing information from
other sources; and improves
accountability to management officials,
funders, and stakeholders. The MIS also
allows CDC staff to record information
related to technical assistance,
consultative plans, communication and
site visits, thus improving the
effectiveness and timeliness of technical
assistance and communication between
CDC and oral health programs. Finally,
the reporting functions of the MIS
facilitate rapid retrieval of information
and summary reports, allowing CDC and
awardees to respond to time-sensitive
inquiries in a timely fashion and to

identify national progress toward
reaching the goals of Healthy People
2010; and to disseminate information
related to successful public health
interventions implemented by state and
territorial programs to prevent and
control the burden of oral diseases.
Information will be collected
electronically twice per year. No
changes to the MIS or the estimated
burden per response are proposed.
There is a small increase in the total
estimated annualized burden due to the
addition of one new CDC-funded oral
health program. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

make programmatic decisions in a more
efficient, informed manner.
The information collected in the oral
health MIS facilitates CDC staff’s ability
to fulfill its obligations under the
cooperative agreement; to monitor,
evaluate, and compare individual
programs; and to assess and report
aggregate information regarding the
overall effectiveness of the oral health
infrastructure and capacity at the state
and territorial level. It supports CDC’s
broader mission of reducing oral health
disparities by enabling CDC staff to
more effectively identify the strengths
and weaknesses of individual state and
territorial oral health programs; to

Evaluation of Childhood Obesity
Prevention and Control Initiative: New
York City Health Bucks Program—
New—Division of Nutrition, Physical
Activity, and Obesity (DNPAO),
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Nutrition, Physical
Activity, and Obesity (DNPAO) at the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), is working to reduce
obesity and related health conditions
via a multi-pronged approach including
active identification of promising local
programs and policies designed to
prevent childhood obesity. Priority is
being given to programs and policies
targeting improved eating habits and
physical activity levels among children
in low-income communities.
The New York City Health Bucks
program, operated by the New York City
Department of Health and Mental

Hygiene (DOHMH), is one example of
this type of initiative. The program
operates in three high-need,
underserved New York City
neighborhoods: The South Bronx, North
and Central Brooklyn, and East and
Central Harlem. Through the program,
targeted neighborhood residents are
provided with $2 ‘‘Health Bucks’’ that
can be redeemed at local farmers’
markets for the purchase of fresh,
locally-grown fruits and vegetables. As
an added incentive for Food Stamp/
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) participants,
individuals using an Electronic Benefits
Transfer (EBT) card at participating
farmers’ markets receive one $2 Health
Buck for every $5 spent. The Health
Bucks program is intended to increase
fresh fruit and vegetable purchases and
consumption, and to increase access at
the community level by attracting local
farmers to these underserved areas.
CDC plans to sponsor an evaluation of
the NYC Health Bucks program to assess
changes in consumer behavior and to
identify factors serving as barriers or
facilitators to program implementation.
The evaluation will involve vendors,
managers and consumers at 90 farmers’
markets in New York City, residents in
the neighborhoods near markets that
accept Health Bucks, and approximately
200 organizations expected to
participate in the NYC Health Bucks
program during 2010.
The evaluation will include seven
information collection activities: (1) A
Web-based survey of local community
organizations that distribute Health
