AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: 30-Day Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed and/or continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on December 11, 2023, at Volume 88, No. 236, allowing for a 60-day public comment period. Three comments were received for this information collection. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comments. 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; and

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.

5. Assess information collection costs.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before [INSERT DATE 30 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION DATE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk Officer for the Office of Personnel Management or sent via electronic mail to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov or faxed to (202) 395-6974.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Project: CDC-RFA-DP-23-0002 Healthy Schools Program Evaluation

CIO: National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

The project aims to evaluate processes and outcomes of the programs of 20 state entities funded by CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health to improve health, academic achievement, and well-being of students in K-12 schools nationwide. CDC awarded funds through cooperative agreement DP23-0002 (a.k.a. 2302 program) to 20 funding recipients (states, universities, and a tribal nation) to improve health, academic achievement, and well-being of students in K-12 schools. A portion of the funding within each state is allocated to one priority local education agency (LEA) and its corresponding schools to support the implementation of policies, practices, and programs to increase physical activity, healthy dietary behaviors, and management of chronic health conditions among students. CDC is conducting a mixed-methods multi-level evaluation of the 2302 program and associated outcomes. Evaluation findings will allow CDC to help recipients improve their programs as they progress over the five-year funding period. A CDC evaluation contractor will collect information from relevant funded recipients, priority LEAs, schools, and students. Program monitoring information will be collected from recipients via a monthly reporting tool. Descriptions of the implementation of the program’s two strategies and nine activities will be collected in years two and four via semi-structured, virtual key informant interviews with program leaders among funded recipients and priority LEA school health personnel to understand successes, barriers, and lessons learned. Additionally, two electronic questionnaires will be administered annually, starting in year 2 of the program. One of the questionnaires is for school-level leaders in participating schools in the 20 priority LEAs focusing on implementation of healthy school policies, practices, and programs. The other questionnaire is for students in elementary, middle, and high schools (grades 4-12) in the priority LEAs’ schools focusing on physical activity, dietary behaviors, management of chronic health conditions, and wellbeing and academic attainment. The evaluation results will help recipients improve their programs and aid CDC in understanding and communicating the impact of its funding.
