Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Required Reporting Burden for Awardees
If your organization is a WISEWOMAN awardee (state health department or tribal program), you must submit a Minimum Data Elements (MDE) electronic file twice a year (25 hours per submission) and one Annual Progress Report per year (16 hours). There are 40 awardees, CDC requests approval for 2,640 annualized burden hours in total, and participation in the information collection is required as a condition of cooperative agreement funding.
Change to Race and Ethnicity Data Fields
CDC will replace separate race and ethnicity minimum data elements with the combined race and ethnicity question from the 2024 OMB Directive 15, delete two MDEs, add two MDEs, and add a response option to one MDE. CDC says these changes do not change the overall burden and is requesting three additional years of approval for data collection.
