[60Day-16-16BX; Docket No. CDC-2015-0092]
Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part
of its continuing efforts to reduce public burden and maximize the
utility of government information, invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or
continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed
information collection entitled ``Monitoring and Reporting for the Core
State Violence and Injury Prevention Program Cooperative Agreement.''
CDC will use the information collected to monitor cooperative agreement
awardees and to identify challenges to program implementation and
achievement of outcomes.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before January 4, 2016.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2015-
0092 by any of the following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulation.gov. Follow the instructions
for submitting comments.
Mail: Leroy A. Richardson, Information Collection Review Office,
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE., MS-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
Comments are invited 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
[[Page 68544]]
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire,
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Proposed Project
Monitoring and Reporting for the Core State Violence and Injury
Prevention Program Cooperative Agreement--New--National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Unintentional and violence-related injuries and their consequences
are the leading causes of death for the first four decades of life,
regardless of gender, race, or socioeconomic status. More than 192,000
individuals in the United States die each year as a result of
unintentional injuries and violence, and more than 31 million others
suffer non-fatal injuries requiring emergency department visits each
year. Given these factors, the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act)
provides an important opportunity for states to advance public health
across the lifespan and to reduce health disparities. Support and
guidance for these programs have been provided through cooperative
agreement funding and technical assistance administered by CDC's
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC). The goal of
this ICR is to collect information needed to monitor cooperative
agreement programs funded under the Core State Violence and Injury
Prevention Program (Core SVIPP) (CDC-RFA-CE16-1602).
Information to be collected will provide crucial data for program
performance monitoring and provide CDC with the capacity to respond in
a timely manner to requests for information about the program from the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the White House,
Congress, and other sources. Awardees will report progress and activity
information to CDC on an annual schedule using an Excel-based fillable
electronic templates. Each awardee will submit three information
collection tools: Annual Progress Report, Evaluation and Performance
Management Plan, and Injury Indicator Spreadsheets. In Year 1, each
awardee will have additional burden related to initial collection of
the reporting tools. Initial population of the tools is a one-time
activity, after completing the initial population of the tools,
pertinent information only needs to be updated annually for each
report.
CDC will use the information collected to monitor each awardee's
progress and to identify facilitators and challenges to program
implementation and achievement of outcomes. Monitoring allows CDC to
determine whether an awardee is meeting performance and goals and to
make adjustments in the type and level of technical assistance provided
to them, as needed, to support attainment of their performance
measures. With the tools, the use of a standard set of data elements,
definitions and specifications at all levels will help to improve the
quality and comparability of performance information that is received
by CDC for multiple awardees and multiple award types by ensuring that
the same information is collected on all strategies and performance
measures with slightly different areas of emphasis, depending on the
awardee type (BASE, Enhanced with 1 Component, or Enhanced 2
Components).
OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation in the
information collection is required as a condition of funding. There are
no costs to respondents other than their time.
