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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition
Program (DPRP)—Revision—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC’s Division of Diabetes
Translation (DDT) established and
administers the National Diabetes
Prevention Recognition Program
(DPRP), which recognizes organizations
that deliver a diabetes prevention
program according to evidence-based
requirements set forth in the CDC’s
Diabetes Prevention Recognition
Program Standards and Operating
Procedures (DPRP Standards).
Additionally, the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare
Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP)
expansion of CDC’s National DPP was
announced in early 2016, when the
Secretary of Health and Human Services
(HHS) determined that the Diabetes
Prevention Program met the statutory
criteria for inclusion in Medicare’s
expanded list of health care services for
beneficiaries (https://cmmi.my.site.com/
mdpp/). This was the first time a
preventive service model from the CMS
Innovation Center was expanded into
Medicare. After extensive testing of this
model in 17 sites across the US from
2014–2016, CMS proposed the MDPP in
Sections 1102 and 1871 of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1302 and
1395hh section 424.59), authorizing
CDC-recognized organizations to
prepare for enrollment as MDPP
suppliers beginning in January 2018 in
order to bill CMS for these services.
Only organizations in good standing
with the CDC DPRP are eligible as
MDPP suppliers. CDC continues to work
with CMS to support the MDPP.
CDC requests an additional three
years of OMB approval to continue
collecting the information needed to
administer the DPRP and provide

PO 00000

Frm 00030

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

information needed by CMS to support
the MDPP benefit. Based on experience
with the DPRP from 2011–2023,
including data analysis and feedback
from applicant organizations and
internal and external partners, CDC
plans to revise the DPRP Standards and
the associated information collection.
Key changes are a direct result of DPRP
data analyses, recent literature reviews,
and discussion with National DPP
stakeholders, including those serving
socially vulnerable populations. Key
changes to the evaluation data
collection instrument allow for the
collection of participant zip codes (for
aggregate reporting only, not to be
reported per each individual
participant); an OMB-recommended 6point disability variable; a health
equity-related social determinants of
health (SDOH) variable set (to assess
whether there was a social needs
assessment conducted; key SDOH issues
identified; and whether any action was
taken); a Middle Eastern or North
African write-in option within the
current race/ethnicity variable; and two
new options for the current payersource
variable.
Key changes to the application data
collection instrument allow for: (1) a
yes/no drop-down question asking if an
organization’s zip code is in an area of
high social vulnerability based on the
Social Vulnerability Index, which
would permit an in-person organization
to be fast-tracked to preliminary
recognition status to allow the
organization to apply to CMS to become
an MDPP supplier; (2) revisions to the
Combination delivery mode to include
an option for in-person delivery with a
distance learning component; and (3)
collection of a projected program startdate.
During the period of this Revision,
CDC estimates receipt of approximately
200 DPRP application forms per year
from new organizations. The estimated
burden per one-time application
response is one hour. In addition, CDC
estimates receipt of semi-annual
evaluation data submissions from the
same 200 additional organizations per
year, estimated at two hours per
response. The total estimated average
annualized evaluation burden to new
respondents is 2,400 hours. This
includes an estimate of the time needed
to extract and compile the required data
records and fields from an existing
electronic database, review the data, and
enter the data via the DPRP Data Portal.
CDC also has 1,500 currently recognized
organizations that will continue to
submit semi-annual evaluation data.
The estimated burden per response is
modest, since the information requested

E:\FR\FM\15DEN1.SGM

15DEN1

86903

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 240 / Friday, December 15, 2023 / Notices
for DPRP recognition is routinely
collected by most organizations that
deliver the National DPP lifestyle
change program for their own internal
evaluation and possible insurance

reimbursement purposes, including the
MDPP benefit. Participation in the DPRP
is voluntary, data are de-identified, no
personally identifiable information (PII)
is collected by CDC, and there are no

costs to respondents other than their
time. CDC is requesting a three-year
revised approval. The total estimated
annual burden hours requested is 7,400.
