Proposed Project
PERFORMANCE PROGRESS AND EVALUATION REPORT (PPER)--Existing
Collection in use without an OMB Control Number--Office of Financial
Resources (OFR), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Each year, approximately 80% of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention's (CDC) budget is distributed via contracts, grants and
cooperative agreements, from the Procurements and Grants Office (PGO)
to partners throughout the world to promote health, prevent disease,
injury and disability and prepare for new health threats. PGO is
responsible for the stewardship of these funds while providing
excellent, professional services to our partners and stakeholders.
Currently, CDC uses SF-PPR (a progress report form for Non-Research
awards) or other methods to collect information semi-annually from
Awardees regarding the progress made over specified time periods on CDC
funded projects. The SF-PPR (OMB Control Number: 0970-0406, Expiration
Date: 10/31/2015) is owned by the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) within the Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS). This ICR is being developed by CDC to create a CDC-wide
collection tool called the Progress Performance and Evaluation Report
(PPER) that will be used to collect data on the progress of CDC
Awardees for the purposes of evaluation and to bring the Awardee
reporting procedure into compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA).
The information collected will enable the accurate, reliable,
uniform, and timely submission to CDC, of each Awardee's work plans and
progress reports, including strategies, activities and performance
measures. The information collected by the PPER is designed to align
with, and support the goals outlined for each of the CDC Awardees.
Collection and reporting of the information will occur in an efficient,
standardized, and user-friendly manner that will generate a variety of
routine and customizable reports. The PPER will allow each Awardee to
summarize activities and progress towards meeting performance measures
and goals over a specified time period specific to each award. CDC will
also have the capacity to generate reports that describe activities
across multiple Awardees. In addition, CDC will use the information
collection to respond to inquiries from HHS, Congress and other
stakeholder inquiries about program activities and their impact. The
total estimated burden is 6,400 hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.
