Change Request Memo - PHIVE_10JUN2025

Non-substantive Change Request

OMB Control Number: 0920-0106, exp. 3/31/2027

Title: Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant

Date Submitted:   June 9, 2025 

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY.  CDC is requesting approval of the following change to the [PHIC] Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant (OMB# 0920-0106, Exp. 3/31/2027):

• Initiation of a process to transition/migrate information collection from the current web-based platform (Block Grant Information System, BGIS) to a new web-based platform (Public Health Infrastructure Virtual Engagement, PHIVE).

The transition to PHIVE will be conducted in phases. This Change Request addresses Block Grant reporting components selected for the initial phase of transition.

PURPOSE AND USE. CDC currently administers Block Grant funding to 61 recipients (50 states, the District of Columbia, two American Indian Tribes, five U.S. territories and three freely associated states). In consultation with an Advisory Committee, each recipient implements a work plan to address locally defined public health needs (see Attachment B, authorizing legislation). Since February 2021, the BGIS platform has been used to collect and monitor information about each recipient’s objectives, activities, and the populations served.

JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGES. Over the next 12 months, CDC plans to phase out BGIS and phase in a new web-based platform, PHIVE. The transition to PHIVE is designed to continue efficient data entry by recipients, ensure data quality, standardize the platforms implemented to support PHIC programs and streamline technical assistance / IT support.

OVERVIEW OF FORMS AND IMPACT ON BURDEN. The information to be collected through PHIVE is the same information currently being collected through BGIS. Therefore, this Change Request does not affect the content of any forms, the number of respondents, or total estimated annualized burden.

Type of Respondents	Form Name	No. of Respondents	No. of Responses per Respondent	Average Burden per Response (in hours)	Total Burden Hours	Change in Burden Estimate
PHHS Block Grant Coordinator	Workplan Start and Advisory Committee Questions	61	1	2	122	None
PHHS Block Grant Coordinator	Work Plan Program Questions	61	1	10	610	None
PHHS Block Grant Coordinator	Annual Progress Report (subset of Interim Progress questions)	61	1	7	427	None
PHHS Block Grant Coordinator	Annual Progress Report (subset of Final Progress questions)	61	1	4	244	None
Total					1,403	None

IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE. Transition over a one-year period is planned. This Change Request is the first in a series to move components of the BGIS information collection to PHIVE. This request only involves the Workplan Start and Advisory Committee Questions (Attachment C) and Workplan Program Questions (Attachment E).

In 2025, grant recipients will begin reporting their FY25 Work plan data in PHIVE while continuing their annual progress reporting for previous funding years in BGIS. In early 2026 recipients will input their FY25 interim progress report data in PHIVE. All grant recipients will be required to submit program activities and complete required reporting for the PHHS Block Grant (fiscal year 2025 and future year funding) using PHIVE. A schematic overview is provided below.

Current PHIVE Change Request	Transition Phase	Form Name	Platform
June 2025	Phase I* (Summer/Fall 2025)	*Workplan Start and Advisory Committee Questions (FY25)	PHIVE (begin)
		*Work Plan Program Questions (FY25)	PHIVE (begin)
		Annual Progress Report (subset of Interim Progress questions)	BGIS
		Annual Progress Report (subset of Final Progress questions)	BGIS

We will submit an additional Change Request(s) in the future when the Annual Progress Report modules (Attachment G) are finalized and ready to be brought into the PHIVE system.

Future PHIVE Change Request (s)	Transition Phase	Form Name	Platform
To be submitted in late 2025 or early 2026 (estimated)		Workplan Start and Advisory Committee Questions	PHIVE (continue for future FYs)
		Work Plan Program Questions	PHIVE (continue for future FYs)
	Phase II+* (2026, estimated)	*Annual Progress Report (subset of Interim Progress questions)	PHIVE (begin)
		*Annual Progress Report (subset of Final Progress questions)	PHIVE (begin)

IT SECURITY. The PHIVE system will operate under a security authorization for the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity Cooperative Agreement Management Platform (ELC CAMP), which is valid through 2026 (Attachment [P]). The Privacy Act still applies to this collection, with the PHIVE platform covered by Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) ID #6775901 (Attachment [R]).
