CDC requests OMB approval to collect two additional years of health risk factor information from a random sample of adults in 28 REACH US communities (900 individuals per community). Results will be used to evaluate the REACH US program and to monitor health trends in racial and ethnic minority populations.
US Code:
42 USC 241
Name of Law: Public Health Service Act
The REACH US program is funded through a five-year cooperative agreement. Information has been collected for Years 1-3. The Revision request supports information collection in Years 4-5. Please note that the burden hours approved by OMB on 2/25/2009 reflect estimates in the original submission, which was received by OMB on 4/25/2008. However, the final OMB approval was based on a revised version of the supporting statement, dated 2/20/2009. The current Revision request represents a net increase in burden when compared to the 2/20/2009 version of the supporting statement. It represents a net decrease when compared to the original submission posted on 4/25/2008.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
