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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Performance Monitoring of CDC's Core State Injury Prevention
Program--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to electronically collect
performance monitoring data, via a web-based Partners' Portal, from
recipients funded under the Core State Injury Prevention Program
cooperative agreement, hereafter known as Core SIPP. OMB approval is
requested for three years. The electronic collection of information for
program and performance monitoring aligns with three of CDC's Data
Modernization Initiative Key Objectives to:
<bullet> Develop and implement cloud-based approaches for
automating data collection and supporting multi-directional data flows
among STLT partners and CDC.
<bullet> Reduce burden for data providers and public health
agencies.
<bullet> Ensure systems and services are scalable, interoperable,
and adaptable to meet evolving needs.
Recipients will report progress and activity information to CDC on
an annual schedule using a web-based Partners' Portal.
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 (DHHS), the White House,
Congress, and other sources. Information to be collected will also
strengthen CDC's ability to monitor awardee progress, provide data-
driven technical assistance, and disseminate the most current
surveillance data on unintentional and intentional injuries.
Monitoring the impact of population-based strategies and
identifying new insights and innovative solutions to health problems
are two of the noted public health activities that all public health
systems should undertake. For NCIPC, these objectives cannot be
satisfied without the systematic collection of data and information
from state health departments. The information collection will enable
the accurate, reliable, uniform and timely submission to NCIPC of each
awardee's progress report and injury indicators, including strategies
and performance measures. The information collection plan proposed here
will also generate a variety of routine and customizable reports.
State-specific reports will allow each awardee to summarize activities
and progress towards meeting strategies and performance measure targets
related to the reduction and prevention of unintentional and
intentional injuries. NCIPC will also have the capacity to generate
reports that describe activities and health outcomes across multiple
recipients, which will enable better reporting of trends and provision
of technical assistance through linking
[[Page 35298]]
partners across state health departments and collaborating divisions
within CDC.
The information collection and reporting requirements have been
carefully designed to align with, and support the specific goals and
outcomes outlined in the Core SIPP cooperative agreement. The
overarching goal of Core SIPP is to strengthen the awardee's injury
prevention programs and policies and demonstrate impact in the
reduction of injury-related morbidity and mortality. Although the data
are limited to the 23 recipients of the Core SIPP NOFO, the results can
be generalizable and inform injury prevention work. Moreover, it is
asserted that the results of the data collection are vital to ensuring
the Core SIPPs efficient management. Results will not only allow NCIPC
staff to provide data-driven technical assistance to recipients, but
also to assess patterns across other NCIPC injury prevention programs
such as, Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention for States and the
Injury Control Research Centers. In addition, the data collection will
inform the continuous quality improvement process and allow NCIPC staff
to make mid-course corrections and describe the impact on health
outcomes.
The information collection procedures will also allow NCIPC to
respond to inquiries from the HHS, the White House, Congress and other
stakeholders about program activities and their impact; as well as,
work towards CDCs overarching mission to protect America from health,
safety and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S. NCIPC will
use the information collected in the Partners' Portal to perform
program activities to accomplish the following objectives:
<bullet> Monitor each awardee's progress and identify facilitators
and barriers to program implementation and achievement of outcomes.
Monitoring allows NCIPC to determine whether an awardee is meeting
performance goals, to inform awardee continuous quality improvements,
and to inform the type of intensity of CDC-provided technical
assistance to support attainment of their performance measures.
<bullet> Identify trends in injury surveillance data to inform
state foci for prevention and intervention strategies as well as the
production of relevant reports, journal articles, and resources for
state health departments.
<bullet> Identify, translate, and disseminate information about
successful injury prevention and control strategies implemented by
recipients through the development of journal articles, tools,
templates, and other injury prevention resources/products.
Program recipients will use the information collected to manage and
coordinate their activities and to improve their efforts to prevent and
control injuries. The Partners' Portal allows recipients to fulfill
their annual reporting obligations efficiently by employing user-
friendly, easily accessible web-based instruments to collect necessary
information for both progress reports and continuation applications
including work plans. This approach enables recipients to save
pertinent information from one reporting period to the next and reduces
the administrative burden on the annual continuation application and
the performance monitoring process. Awardee program staff are able to
review the completeness of data needed to generate required reports,
enter basic summary data for reports annually, and finalize and save
required reports for upload into other reporting systems as required.
