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
CDC Workplace Health Promotion
Resource Center—New—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The United States faces an
unparalleled epidemic of poor health,
driven largely by chronic diseases and
conditions. A large body of literature
shows that poor health, preceded by
high levels of modifiable risk factors, is
directly correlated with higher health
care costs. Chronic conditions affect the
workplace through health care costs,
employee absences, safety claims, and
presenteeism (i.e., decrements in job
performance due to health problems).
Workplaces are becoming important
settings for health improvement and risk
reduction. By improving the work
health environment and helping
workers achieve long-term behavior
change, employers can diminish
employees’ risks for illnesses, enhance
their quality of life, improve morale,
eliminate unnecessary health care
spending, minimize absences from
work, reduce accidents, and increase
productivity. Furthermore, having a
healthy and productive workforce
within a supportive work environment
can foster greater loyalty among
workers, a more committed workforce,
and reduced turnover rates.
Despite their interest in improving the
health and well-being of American
workers, public and private employers
often lack the know-how to do so
effectively. A need exists for a trusted
resource center housed in a virtual
informational clearinghouse (IC) where
employers and other stakeholders can
access credible research (including best
and promising practices), tools and
resources, and technical assistance.
CDC plans to conduct information
collection needed to design and
implement a new CDC Workplace
Health Promotion Resource Center
(Resource Center), where relevant
resources will be vetted, catalogued,
compiled, and made publicly available
to employers and other key
stakeholders. Through the Resource
Center, CDC will also provide technical
assistance (TA) to employers, with the
ultimate aim of improving population
health, reducing health care utilization,
and improving the productivity of
employees. These activities are
consistent with CDC’s role as the

primary Federal agency for protecting
health and promoting quality of life
through the prevention and control of
disease, injury, and disability. The CDC
Workplace Health Promotion Resource
Center is authorized by the Public
Health Service Act and funded through
the Prevention and Public Health Fund
of the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (ACA).
Resource Center development and
information collection will be
conducted in two phases over a threeyear period. In Phase 1 (project years 1
and 2), CDC will conduct formative
research to understand the needs and
preferences of the target audience. In
Phase 2 (project years 2 and 3), CDC will
build the Resource Center and IC,
provide technical assistance, and assess
customer satisfaction.

During Phase 1, CDC will conduct
telephone interviews with 50
individuals who represent key Resource
Center audiences: Employers (N=10),
business groups (N=10), vendors and
consultants (N=12), public health
organizations (N=4), journalists (N=4),
and researchers (N=10). Each tailored
interview will be 45–60 minutes in
length. Additional information will be
collected through an online Needs and
Interests Market Survey involving 800
respondents. Findings will be used to
tailor the contents, technical support
and dissemination practices of the
Resource Center to the needs and
interests of the target audiences.
During Phase 2, Resource Center
products will be launched and CDC will
collect brief, online customer
satisfaction surveys from approximately

850 users. CDC will also pilot test and
evaluate a direct technical assistance
component of the Resource Center with
approximately 5 selected states using
two online surveys: a TA feedback
survey and TA pilot assessment. The TA
feedback survey will be offered to up to
100 stakeholders after each TA
encounter and will take approximately
5 minutes. The TA pilot assessment will
be provided at the conclusion of the TA
pilot to up to 100 stakeholders and will
take approximately 20 minutes.
Findings will be used to improve
workplace health programs and the
offerings of the Resource Center.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
