request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–7570 or send
comments to Ron Otten, 1600 Clifton
Road, MS–D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or
send an email to [email protected].
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the

Background and Brief Description
CDC is seeking a three-year extension
of OMB approval for the AIRS
information collection. In 1999, the CDC
began developing its National Asthma
Control Program, a population-based,
public health approach to addressing
the burden of asthma. The program
supports the goals and objectives of
‘‘Healthy People 2020’’ for asthma and
is based on the public health principles
of surveillance, partnerships, and
interventions. Through AIRS, the
information collection request has and
will continue to provide NCEH with
routine information about the activities
and performance of the state and
territorial grantees funded under the
National Asthma Control Program
http://www.cdc.gov/asthma/nacp.htm.
The primary purpose of the National
Asthma Control Program is to develop
program capacity to address asthma
from a public health perspective to
bring about: (1) A focus on asthmarelated activity within states; (2) an
increased understanding of asthmarelated data and its application to
program planning and evaluation
through the development and
maintenance of an ongoing asthma
surveillance system; (3) an increased
recognition, within the public health
structure of states, of the potential to use
a public health approach to reduce the
burden of asthma; (4) linkages of state
health agencies to other agencies and
organizations addressing asthma in the
population; and (5) implementation of
interventions to achieve positive health
impacts, such as reducing the number of
deaths, hospitalizations, emergency
department visits, school or work days
missed, and limitations on activity due
to asthma.
The AIRS management information
system is comprised of multiple
components that enable the electronic

reporting of three types of data/
information from state asthma control
programs: (1) Information that is
currently collected as part of interim
(semi-annual) and end-of-year progress
reporting, (2) Aggregate level reports of
surveillance data on long-term program
outcomes, and (3) Specific data
indicative of progress made on:
Partnerships, surveillance,
interventions, and evaluation.
Prior to implementation of AIRS, data
were collected on an interim (semiannual) basis from state asthma control
programs as part of regular reporting of
cooperative agreement activities. States
reported information such as progressto-date on accomplishing intended
objectives, programmatic changes,
changes to staffing or management, and
budgetary information.
Regular reporting this information is a
requirement of the cooperative
agreement mechanism utilized to fund
state asthma control programs. States
are asked to submit interim (semiannual) and year-end progress report
information into AIRS, thus this type of
programmatic information on activities
and objectives will continue to be
collected twice per year (interim report
and end-of-year report).
The National Asthma Control Program
at CDC has access to and analyzes
national-level asthma surveillance data
(http://www.cdc.gov/asthma/
asthmadata.htm). With the exception of
data from the Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System (BRFSS), state level
analyses cannot be performed.
Therefore, as part of AIRS, state asthma
control programs submit aggregate
surveillance data to allow calculation of
state asthma surveillance indicators
across all funded states (where data is
available) in a standardized manner.
Data requests through this system
regularly include: hospital discharges
(with asthma as first listed diagnosis),
and emergency department visits (with
asthma as first listed diagnosis). Under
AIRS, participating states annually
submit this information to the AIRS
system in conjunction with an end-ofyear report describing state activities

that meet project objectives described
above.
National and state asthma
surveillance data provide information
useful to examine progress on long-term
outcomes of state asthma programs. To
identify appropriate indicators of
program implementation and short-term
outcomes for AIRS, CDC previously
convened and facilitated workgroups
comprised of state asthma control
program representatives to generated
specific questions to collect data on key
features of state asthma control
programs: partnerships, surveillance,
interventions, and evaluation.
Since implementation in 2010 AIRS,
and technical assistance provided by
NCEH staff, has provided states with
uniform data reporting methods and
linkages to other states’ asthma

programs and data. Thus, AIRS has
saved state resources and staff time
when they embark on asthma activities
similar to those being done elsewhere.
Also, the AIRS system has been
similarly helpful in linking states
together on occasions when a given state
seeks to report their results at national
meetings or publish their findings and
program results either in scholarly
journals. For example, with CDC staff,
three state programs co-presented on a
panel regarding evaluations of their
asthma partnerships at the November,
2012 American Evaluation Association’s
Evaluation 2012 conference.
In addition, CDC staff have regularly
made requests from AIRS to obtain
standardized summaries of state
programs to obtain data summaries
regarding such activities as the number

of states meeting staffing requirements,
number and timeliness of state strategic
evaluation plans, topics for individual
evaluation selected by states, types and
targets of interventions, and use of
asthma surveillance data in state
programs.
Furthermore, access to standardized
AIRS surveillance and programmatic
data allows CDC to provide timely and
accurate responses to the public and
Congress regarding the NCEH asthma
program (e.g., how many states have
asthma interventions targeting schools,
how many children are treated in
emergency departments, etc.).
There will be no cost for respondents,
other than their time, to participate in
AIRS. The total estimated annual
burden hours are 288.
