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.
