BILLING CODE 4160-90-M DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [30 Day-07-05CJ] Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC)publishes a list of information collection requests under review by the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at

(404)371-5960 or send an e-mail to *omb@cdc.gov* . Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to

(202)395-6974. Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice. Proposed Project Colorectal Cancer Screening Demonstration Program—New—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCDDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC)is seeking a 3-year Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)approval to collect individual patient-level screening, diagnostic, and treatment data in association with a new colorectal cancer screening demonstration program. CDC funded 5 cooperative agreements in fiscal year

(FY)2005 to implement these new colorectal cancer

(CRC)demonstration programs. These 3-year demonstration programs are designed to increase population-based CRC screening among persons 50 years and older in a geographically defined area, focusing screening efforts on persons age 50 years and older with low incomes and inadequate or no health insurance coverage for CRC screening (priority population). Colorectal Cancer

(CRC)is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, following lung cancer. Based on scientific evidence which indicates that regular screening is effective in reducing CRC incidence and mortality, regular CRC screening is now recommended for average-risk persons with one or a combination of the following tests: fecal occult blood testing (FOBT), flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and/or double-contrast barium enema (DCBE). Fecal immunochemical testing

(FIT)is considered an acceptable alternative to FOBT. In the absence of evidence indicating a single most effective test, selected programs chose the screening test(s) they will use from the above list of recommended tests. All funded programs are required to submit patient-level data to capture demographic information, CRC screening and diagnostic services provided through this program, and clinical results, and submit these data to Information Management Services

(IMS)on a quarterly basis, so that CDC and the programs can evaluate immediate and long term (3 year) program effectiveness and assess the quality and appropriateness of the services delivered, including medical complications. While CDC funds will not be used for treatment, programs will need to monitor treatment and document that patients are receiving appropriate treatment services. Submitted data must contain no patient identifiers. CDC, the funded programs, and IMS worked together to define the key, standardized clinical data elements which are included in a codebook to be used by the programs and CDC known as the Colorectal Cancer Clinical Data Elements (CCDE). Data collection forms have been developed by staff at the programs to collect the standardized individual patient-level data. IMS will assist CDC by receiving the data from the programs, cleaning the data and producing standardized data reports. All programs will additionally submit annual cost data to CDC to monitor cost and cost-effectiveness over the 3-year program period. In developing the definition variable and data definitions to be reported in the CCDEs, CDC has consulted with representatives of the American Cancer Society, The National Cancer Institute, The Agency for Health Care Research and Quality, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, representatives from professional medical societies involved in colorectal cancer screening, representatives from managed care organizations, representatives from state health departments, and a variety of individuals with expertise and interest in this field. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1270. *Estimated Annualized Burden Hours:* Respondents Form name Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Average burden per response (in hours) Colorectal Cancer Demonstration Program Sites Colorectal Cancer Data Elements for Colonoscopy Programs 2 240 1 Colorectal Cancer Data Elements for Fecal Occult Blood Test Programs 3 1000 15/60 Medical Complications Form 5 6 1 Annual Aggregate Data on Medically Ineligible Clients 5 1 1 Reimbursement Data Reporting Form 5 1 1 *Respondents include cooperative agreement recipients.

E7-2422 Filed 2-12-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4163-18-P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request Proposed Projects *Title:* Income Withholding for Support

(IWO)(Formerly: Order to Withhold Income for Child Support and Notice of an Order to Withhold Income for Child Support) OMB No. 0970-0154 *Description:* Pub. L. 104-193, The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996, Section 324, requires the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement

(OCSE)to develop a standardized form to collect child support payments from an obligor's employer. The form, which promotes standardization and is used for title IV- D and non-IV-D cases that require income withholding, expires 5/31/2007, and the Administration for Children and Families is taking this opportunity to revise the form and its instructions. Overall, the language and format of the form have been edited, modified, and made easier to read and comprehend. The two-page form provides a detailed legal description of the established order, support amounts, and remittance information an employer needs to withhold payments from an obligor who owes child support. One of the new fields on the form is for the attachment of lump sum payments by employers. This addition allows the issuing entity to instruct the employer with respect to the attachment and remittance of lump sum payments. Fields for child's name and date of birth have been moved to the front of the form, allowing the employer community to easily identify who the form is for and to avoid implementation of duplicate orders. Other changes that have enhanced the form include: A simplified title, clear identification of who is sending the form, and modifications to allow the employer to easily report employee terminations. *Respondents:* States, Territories, and Tribes. Annual Burden Estimates Instrument Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Average burden hours per response Total burden hours IWO 54 222,222 .0017 20,400 Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 20,400. In compliance with the requirements of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Administration for Children and Families is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection described above. Copies of the proposed collection of information can be obtained and comments may be forwarded by writing to the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Administration, Office of Information Services, 370 L'Enfant Promenade, SW., Washington, DC 20447, *Attn:* ACF Reports Clearance Officer. *E-mail address: infocollection@acf.hhs.gov.* All requests should be identified by the title of the information collection. The Department specifically requests comments 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;
