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

Proposed Project
Monitoring and Reporting System for
the Division of Community Health’s
Cooperative Agreement Programs (OMB
Control Number 0920–1053, Expiration
03/31/2018)—Revision—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) established the
Division of Community Health (DCH) to
support multi-sectorial, communitybased programs that promote healthy
living. In 2014, DCH announced a new
cooperative agreement program, Racial
and Ethnic Approaches to Community
Health (REACH) program, authorized by
the Public Health Service Act and the
Prevention and Public Health Fund of
the Affordable Care Act (Funding
Opportunity Announcement (FOA) FOA
DP14–1419PPHF14). CDC designed the
REACH program to address chronic
diseases and risk factors for chronic
diseases, including physical inactivity,
poor diet, obesity, and tobacco use. The
program will provide support for
implementation of broad, evidence- and
practice-based policy and
environmental improvements in large
and small cities, urban rural areas,
tribes, multi-sectorial community
coalitions, and racial and ethnic
communities experiencing chronic
disease disparities. The REACH program
aligns with the National Prevention
Strategy and ‘‘Healthy People 2020’’
focus areas.
CDC’s Division of Community Health
(DCH) and Division of Nutrition,
Physical Activity and Obesity (DNPAO)
receive semi-annual progress reports
from REACH awardees through an

allows CDC to determine whether an
awardee is meeting performance goals
and to make adjustments in the type and
level of technical assistance provided to
them to support attainment of their
objectives. CDC’s monitoring and
evaluation activities allow CDC to
provide oversight of the use of federal
funds, and to identify and disseminate
information about successful prevention
and control strategies implemented by
awardees. Finally, the information
collection will allow CDC to monitor the
increased emphasis on partnerships and
programmatic collaboration. CDC
expects to reduce duplication of effort,
enhance program impact and maximize
the use of federal funds. The estimated
time burden of producing each semiannual report is 3 hours.
Due to substantial interest in the
REACH program from a variety of
stakeholders, CDC may also seek OMB
approval to conduct targeted, specialpurpose information collections on an
as-needed basis. CDC will ask each
REACH awardee to participate in one
special purpose information collection.
Methods for these data collections could
include telephone interviews, in-person
interviews, Web-based surveys, or
paper-and-pencil surveys. CDC will
submit each special-purpose
information collection request to OMB
for approval through the Change
Request mechanism, and will include
the data collection instrument(s) and a
description of purpose and methods.
CDC seeks a one-year OMB approval,
starting on April 1, 2018. Participation
in semi-annual progress reporting is
required for cooperative agreement
awardees, but could be voluntary for
some special-purpose data collections.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.

electronic management information
system, the DCH-Performance
Monitoring Database (DCH–PMD), (in
the original OMB request the DCH–DMD
was also referred to as the DCHPerformance Monitoring and Reporting
System). This system collects
information from awardees funded
through the Racial and Ethnic
Approaches to Community Health
(REACH) cooperative agreement.
REACH awardees include 18 state, local
and tribal governmental agencies, and
31 non-governmental organizations.
CDC DNPAO is proposing a revision
to the information collection request,
effective immediately, to request
additional time to facilitate awardees
reporting critical information in a
consistent manner. Specifically, CDC
DNPAO requests to extend the current
OMB approval period to collect
information needed to monitor the
REACH cooperative agreement program
for an additional year ending in March
31, 2019. This will allow REACH
awardees to continue to provide semiannual reports to CDC describing their
work plan, activities and progress
toward achieving objectives during a
fourth year of supplemental funding.
Information collection will continue
to be conducted primarily via DCH–
PMD, which enables the accurate,
reliable, uniform and timely submission
to CDC of each awardee’s work plans
and progress reports, including
objectives and milestones. The DCH–
PMD will also generate a variety of
routine and customizable reports. Local
level reports will allow each awardee to
summarize its activities and progress
towards meeting work plan objectives.
CDC will use the information collected
in the DCH–PMD to monitor each
awardee’s progress and to identify its
strengths and weaknesses. Monitoring

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension or
update of an existing collection of
information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval.
To comply with the above
requirement, ACL is publishing a notice
of the proposed revision of a currently
approved collection of information set
forth in this document. With respect to
the following collection of information,
ACL invites comments on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of ACL’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of ACL’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
Purpose
The purpose of this data collection is
to fulfill requirements of the Older
Americans Act and the Government
Performance and Results Modernization
Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) and related
program performance activities. Section
202(a)(16) of the OAA requires the
collection of statistical data regarding
the programs and activities carried out
with funds provided under the OAA
and Section 207(a) directs the Assistant
Secretary for Aging to prepare and
submit a report to the President and
Congress based on those data. Section
202(f) directs the Assistant Secretary to
develop a set of performance measures
for planning, managing, and evaluating
activities performed and services
provided under the OAA. Requirements
pertaining to the measurement and
evaluation of the impact of all programs
authorized by the OAA are described in
section 206(a). The National Survey of
Older Americans Act Participants
(NSOAAP) is one source of data used to
develop and report performance
outcome measures and measure
program effectiveness in achieving the
stated goals of the OAA.

The National Survey of Older
Americans Act Participants (NSOAAP)
information collection will include
consumer assessment surveys for the
Congregate and Home-delivered meal
nutrition programs; Case Management,
Homemaker, and Transportation
Services; and the National Family
Caregiver Support Program. This survey
builds on earlier national pilot studies
and surveys, as well as performance
measurement tools developed by ACL
grantees in the Performance Outcomes
Measures Project (POMP). This
information will be used by ACL to
track performance outcome measures;
support budget requests; comply with
the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010
(GPRAMA) reporting requirements;
provide national benchmark
information; and inform program
development and management
initiatives.
Revisions
With the exception of changes to
selected questions (e.g., addition of
questions about oral health in 2014), the
NSOAAP has been collected in its
current form since 2008. This proposed
collection is a revision that will replace
the currently approved version (OMB
Control Number: 0985–0023) by
transitioning from a cross-sectional
survey to a longitudinal survey. The
current National Survey of Older
Americans Act Participants (NSOAAP),
an exclusively cross-sectional survey,
can transition to a longitudinal
information collection component by
establishing a baseline cohort and
conducting follow-up interviews with
that cohort at specified time intervals. A
baseline cohort can be selected in the
same manner as in prior cycles of the
cross-sectional NSOAAP. Area Agencies
on Aging (AAAs) would be selected
with a probability proportional to their
size, with some large AAAs sampled
with certainty. Random samples of
clients within each selected AAA will
be sampled from the agencies’ client
lists. However, in a change from current
procedures, the target sample size
would be increased from current
standards (n=6000) to account for
attrition of individuals over time. For
the duration of the longitudinal cohort
analysis, the same sample of AAAs and
clients should be maintained to preserve
the longitudinal nature of the study.
Three strategies are key for transforming
the current survey into a longitudinal
study, while preserving the ability to
produce nationally representative crosssectional estimates of client
characteristics at each wave. The three
strategies include: (1) A higher initial
sample size (n=6600), (2) an intensive
