Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on the information collection
project entitled ‘‘Colorectal Cancer
Control Program CRCCP) Monitoring
Activities’’. CDC is requesting a
reinstatement with change of OMB No.
0920–1074 to include a redesigned
survey and a new clinic-level data
collection.

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 OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
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; (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Proposed Project
Colorectal Cancer Control Program
(CRCCP) Monitoring Activities—(OMB
No. 0920–1074, exp. 12/31/2015)—
Reinstatement with Change—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a reinstatement
with change of the information
collection with the OMB Control
number 0920–1074, formerly entitled
‘‘Annual Survey of Colorectal Cancer
Control Activities Conducted by States
and Tribal Organizations.’’ In the
previous OMB approval period,
information collection consisted of an
annual grantee survey. In the next OMB
approval period, information collection
will consist of a redesigned survey and
a new clinic-level data collection. The
number of respondents will increase
and the total estimated annualized
burden will increase.
Among cancers that affect both men
and women, colorectal cancer (CRC) is

the second leading cause of death from
cancer in the United States. CRC
screening has been shown to reduce
incidence of and death from the disease.
Screening for CRC can detect disease
early when treatment is more effective
and prevent cancer by finding and
removing precancerous polyps. Of
individuals diagnosed with early stage
CRC, more than 90% live five or more
years. Despite strong evidence
supporting screening, only 65% of
adults currently report being up-to-date
with CRC screening as recommended by
the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force,
with more than 22 million age-eligible
adults estimated to be untested. To
reduce CRC morbidity, mortality, and
associated costs, use of CRC screening
tests must be increased among ageeligible adults with the lowest CRC
screening rates.
CDC’s Colorectal Cancer Control
Program (CRCCP) currently provides
funding to 31 grantees under
‘‘Organized Approaches to Increase
Colorectal Cancer Screening’’ (CDC–
RFA–DP15–1502). CRCCP grantees
include state governments or bona-fide
agents, universities, and tribal
organizations. The purpose of the new
cooperative agreement program is to

RFA–DP15–1502) requires that CDC
monitor and evaluate the CRCCP and
individual grantee performance using
both process and outcome evaluation.
Two forms of data collection are
proposed. First, the CRCCP grantee
survey was redesigned to align with
new CRCCP goals. The grantee survey
will be submitted to CDC annually.
Second, CDC proposes to collect cliniclevel data to assess changes in CDC’s
primary outcome of interest, i.e., CRC
screening rates within partner health
systems. Each grantee will complete a
clinic-level data template once per
month. All information will be reported
to CDC electronically.
The information collection will
enable CDC to gauge progress in meeting
CRCCP program goals and to monitor
implementation activities, evaluate
outcomes, and identify grantee technical
assistance needs. In addition, findings
will inform program improvement and
help identify successful activities that
need to be maintained, replicated, or
expanded.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation is required for
CRCCP awardees. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

increase CRC screening rates among an
applicant defined target population of
persons 50–75 years of age within a
partner health system serving a defined
geographical area or disparate
population.
The CRCCP was significantly
redesigned in 2015 and has two
components. Under Component 1, all 31
CRCCP grantees receive funding to
support partnerships with health
systems to implement up to four priority
evidence-based interventions (EBIs)
described in the Guide to Community
Preventive Services, as well as other
supporting strategies. Grantees must
implement at least two EBIs in each
partnering health system. Under
Component 2, 6 of the 31 CRCCP
grantees will provide direct screening
and follow-up clinical services for a
limited number of individuals aged 50–
64 in the program’s priority population
who are asymptomatic, at average risk
for CRC, have inadequate or no health
insurance for CRC screening, and are
low income
Based on the redesigned CRCCP, the
information collection plan has also
been redesigned to address the two
program components. The new
cooperative agreement program (CDC–
