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 Comprehensive Suicide 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 OMB
approval to collect information from recipients funded under the
Comprehensive Suicide Prevention Program cooperative agreement (CE20-
2001), hereafter known as CSP. OMB approval is requested for three
years of the five-year funding period. 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. The Partners'
Portal allows recipients to fulfill their annual reporting obligations
efficiently by
[[Page 43244]]
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 can 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.
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. 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 suicide and suicide attempts. CDC requests
approval for an estimated 132 annual burden hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time to participate.
