Proposed Project Indicators of the Performance of Local and State and Education Agencies in HIV-prevention and Coordinated School Health Program Activities for Adolescent and School Health Programs (0920-0672)—(Extension)—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The proposed project is an annual Web-based questionnaire to assess programmatic activities among local education agencies

(LEA)and state and territorial education agencies (SEA and TEA) funded by the Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Currently, there is no standardized annual reporting process for HIV prevention activities or coordinated school health program

(CSHP)activities among LEAs and SEAs/TEAs funded by DASH. Data being gathered will be in the form of four questionnaires, which will:

(1)Provide standardized information about how HIV prevention, asthma management, and CSHP funds are used by LEAs and SEAs;

(2)assess the extent to which programmatic adjustments are indicated;

(3)provide descriptive and process information about program activities; and

(4)provide greater accountability for use of public funds. These questionnaires are to be completed within ninety days after the end of the fiscal year by the DASH-funded partners on a Web site managed by DASH. Of the four Web-based questionnaires corresponding to the specific funding source: Two

(2)questionnaires will pertain to HIV-prevention program activities among LEAs and SEAs/TEAs; one

(1)will pertain to asthma management activities among LEAs; and one

(1)will pertain to CSHP activities among SEAs. The HIV questionnaires will include questions on: • Distribution of, professional development and individualized technical assistance on school policies. • Distribution of professional development and individualized technical assistance on education curricula and instruction. • Distribution of professional development and individualized technical assistance assessment on student standards. • Collaboration with external partners. • Targeting priority populations. • Planning and improving projects. • Information about additional program activities. The asthma questionnaire will ask the questions above, but will focus on asthma management activities. The CSHP questionnaire will also ask the questions above, but focused on physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco-use prevention activities (PANT), and include additional questions on: • Joint activities of the State Education Agency and State Health Agency (SHA). • Activities of the CSHP state-wide coalition. • Health promotion programs and environmental approaches to PANT. There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate in the survey.

Proposed Project List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the Manufacture of Smokeless Tobacco Products (OMB No. 0920-0338)—Extension—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 (15 U.S.C. 4401 *et seq.* , Pub. L. 99-252) requires each person who manufactures, packages, or imports smokeless tobacco

(SLT)to provide the Secretary of Health and Human Services

(HHS)with a list of ingredients added to tobacco in the manufacture of smokeless tobacco products. This legislation also authorizes HHS to undertake research, and submit an annual report to Congress (as deemed appropriate) discussing the health effects of the ingredients in smokeless tobacco products. HHS has delegated responsibility for the implementation of this Act to CDC's Office on Smoking and Health (OSH). The oral use of SLT represents a significant health risk which can cause cancer and a number of non-cancerous oral conditions, and can lead to nicotine addition and dependence. Furthermore, SLT use is not a safe substitute for cigarette smoking. The total cost to respondents is their time to complete survey.

Proposed Project List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the Manufacture of Cigarette Products (OMB No. 0920-0210)—Extension—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Comprehensive Smoking Education Act of 1984 (15 U.S.C. 1336 or Pub. L. 98-474) requires each person who manufactures, packages, or imports cigarettes to provide the Secretary of Health and Human Services

(HHS)with a list of ingredients added to tobacco in the manufacture of cigarettes. This legislation also authorizes HHS to undertake research, and to report to the Congress (as deemed appropriate) discussing the health effects of these ingredients. HHS has delegated responsibility for the implementation of this Act to CDC's Office on Smoking and Health (OSH). OSH has collected ingredient reports on cigarette products since 1986. Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of premature death and disability in our Nation. Each year more than 400,000 premature deaths occur as the result of cigarette smoking related diseases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office on Smoking and Health

(OSH)has been delegated the authority for implementing major components of the Department of Health and Human Services

(HHS)tobacco and health program, including collection of tobacco ingredients information. HHS's overall goal is to reduce death and disability resulting from cigarette smoking and other forms of tobacco use through programs of information, education and research. There is no cost to the respondents other than their time to complete the survey.

L. 107-133) amended Title IV-B of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 629-629e) to provide funding for nonprofit agencies that recruit, screen, train, and support mentors for children with an incarcerated parent or parents. The Family and Youth Services Bureau

(FYSB)within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), United States Department of Health and Human Services, administers the Mentoring Children of Prisoners

(MCP)program. The MCP program creates lasting, high quality, one-on-one relationships that provide young people with caring adult role models. Information from the Mentoring Children of Prisoners Online Data Collection is necessary for ACF's reporting and planning under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), and to support evaluation requirements within GPRA. Information collected will be used for accountability monitoring, management improvement, and research. Data collection ensures that ACF knows if grantees of the MCP program are meeting the established targets (established based on research and benchmarks) recorded in the grant application as required by the GPRA, and that mentoring activities are faithful to characteristics established by research as essential to success. Data collected will also support grantees as they carry out ongoing responsibilities, maintain program service, and manage information for internal uses. *Respondents:* Public, faith-based and community organizations receiving funding to implement the MCP program.
