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
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 System for DELTA FOCUS Awardees, (OMB
Control No. 0920-0968, expiration 5/31/2016)--Extension--National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a serious, preventable public
health problem that affects millions of Americans and results in
serious consequences for victims, families, and communities. IPV occurs
between two people in a close relationship. The term ``intimate
partner'' describes physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a
current or former partner or spouse. IPV can impact health in many
ways, including long-term health problems, emotional impacts, and links
to negative health behaviors. Given these factors, the Family Violence
Prevention and Services Act (42 U.S.C. 10401) provides an important
opportunity for the advancement of public health and reduction of IPV.
Support and guidance for programs addressing IPV have been provided
through cooperative agreement funding and technical assistance
administered by CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC). CDC seeks to continue collecting information needed to monitor
cooperative agreement programs funded under Domestic Violence
Prevention Enhancement and Leadership through Alliances, Focusing on
Outcomes for Communities United with States DELTA FOCUS (FOA CDC-RFA-
CE13-130).
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 the Program Management
Information System (PMIS) consisting of fillable electronic templates
and submitted via Grant Solutions.
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 goals and to make
adjustments in the type and level of technical assistance provided to
them, as needed, to support attainment of their objectives. CDC's
monitoring and evaluation activities also allow CDC to provide
oversight of the use of federal funds, and to identify and disseminate
information about successful prevention and control strategies
implemented by awardees. These functions are central to the NCIPC's
broad mission of reducing the burden of injury and violence. Finally,
the information collection allows CDC to monitor the increased emphasis
on partnerships and programmatic collaboration, and is expected to
reduce duplication of effort, enhance program impact and maximize the
use of federal funds.
This is an extension request 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.
