Proposed Project
Prevention Research Centers Program
National Evaluation Reporting System—
Revision—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Prevention Research Centers
(PRC) Program was established by
Congress through the Health Promotion
and Disease Amendments of 1984. CDC
manages the PRC program and currently
provides funding to PRC grantees that
are housed within schools of public
health, medicine or osteopathy. Awards
are made for five years and may be
renewed through a competitive
application process. PRCs conduct
outcomes-oriented health promotion
and disease prevention research on a
broad range of topics using a multidisciplinary and community-based
approach. Research projects involve
State and local health departments,
health care providers, universities,
community partners, and other
organizations. PRCs collaborate with
external partners to assess community
health priorities; identify research
priorities; set research agendas; conduct
research projects and related activities
such as training and technical
assistance; and disseminate research
results to public health practitioners,
researchers, and the general public.
Each PRC receives an approximately
equal amount of funding from CDC to
establish its core capacity and support
a core research project as well as
training and evaluation activities.
Research foci reflect each PRC’s area of
expertise and the needs of the
community. Health disparities and goals
outlined in Healthy People 2010 are a
particular emphasis for most PRC core
research.
CDC is currently approved to collect
progress and performance information
from PRCs through the PRC Information
System (IS), a Web-based application
(OMB #0920–0650, exp. 8/31/2010). The
IS was developed to organize
programmatic information through work
plans and progress reports and to assist
in tracking progress toward and
achievement of the PRC performance
indicators. Respondents also report data

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 17 / Wednesday, January 27, 2010 / Notices

related to the prevention research
projects, products resulting from those
projects, trainings related to those
projects, and partnerships.
CDC will request OMB approval to
continue collecting progress and
performance information from PRCs for
three years, with changes. The current
IS will be phased out and replaced with
two restructured information
collections. The first information
collection will be conducted utilizing a
simplified, more user-friendly Webbased survey system. The second
information collection will consist of
telephone interview involving a key
contact person for each PRC grantee.
CDC proposes to amend the title of the

identify training and technical
assistance needs, respond to requests for
information from Congress and other
sources, monitor grantees’ compliance
with cooperative agreement
requirements, evaluate progress made in
achieving goals and objectives, and
describe the impact and effectiveness of
the PRC program.
PRCs will report the required
information to CDC once per year.
Although the number of respondent
PRCs will increase to 35, the overall
estimated burden is expected to
decrease due to a reduction in the
estimated burden per respondent. There
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.

OMB approval to reflect the change in
data collection methodology.
In the next approval period,
information collection will be
restructured around a revised set of
performance indicators that are based
on a review of fiscal year 2007 data and
input from the PRCs from 2008–2009.
During that time, the CDC PRC Program
office and grantees concluded that
performance could be adequately
monitored using a subset of the
previously approved questions,
implementing minor changes to some
questions, instituting a brief telephone
interview, and reducing the frequency
of data collection.
CDC will continue to use the
information reported by PRCs to

Proposed Project
Prevalence Survey of Healthcare
Associated Infections (HAIs) and
Antimicrobial Use in U.S. Acute Care
Hospitals—New—National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID) (proposed), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
conduct two surveys to obtain national
estimates of Healthcare Associated
Infections (HAIs) prevalence and
antimicrobial use in the United States.
Preventing HAIs is a CDC priority, and
an essential step in reducing the
occurrence of HAIs is to accurately
estimate the burden of these infections
in U.S. hospitals and to describe the
types of HAIs and their causative

Frm 00061

Fmt 4703

organisms, including antimicrobialresistant pathogens.
The scope and magnitude of HAIs in
the U.S. were last directly estimated in
the 1970s and 1980s by CDC’s Study on
the Efficacy of Nosocomial Infection
Control (SENIC), in which
comprehensive data were collected from
a sample of 338 hospitals; 5% of
hospitalized patients acquired an
infection not present at the time of
admission. CDC’s current HAI
surveillance system, the National
Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN)
(OMB Control No. 0920–0666,
expiration date 9/30/2012), focuses
instead on device-associated and
procedure-associated infections in a
variety of patient locations, and does
not receive data on all types of HAIs to
make hospital-wide burden estimates.
The purpose of this information
collection request is to assess the
magnitude and types of HAIs and
antimicrobial use occurring in all
patient populations within acute care
hospitals in order to inform decisions
made by local and national policy
makers and hospital infection control
personnel regarding appropriate targets
and strategies for preventing HAIs and
the emergence of antimicrobialresistant pathogens and encouraging
appropriate antimicrobial use. Such
assessments can be obtained in periodic
national prevalence studies, such as
