Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``Performance Monitoring of CDC's Core State
Injury Prevention Program'' to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed
Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations''
notice on July 2, 2021 to obtain comments from the public and affected
agencies. There were no comments to the previous notice. This notice
serves to allow an additional 30 days for public and affected agency
comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) 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 submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this information
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for
Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct written
comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this
notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
Performance Monitoring of CDC's Core State Injury Prevention
Program--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Comtrol
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC)
requests OMB approval for Performance Monitoring of CDC's Core State
Injury Prevention Program (Core SIPP). This proposed data collection
will collect performance monitoring data via a web-based Partners'
Portal. Data is needed to monitor the cooperative agreement program
funded under the Core SIPP.
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 of each
awardee's progress report and injury indicators, including strategies
and performance measures.
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
[[Page 72242]]
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 unintentional and intentional injuries. 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 partners across state health departments and collaborating
divisions within CDC.
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.
Recipients will report progress and activity information to CDC on
an annual schedule. Data will be analyzed using descriptive and summary
statistics, as well as qualitative summaries. CDC requests approval for
a total of 253 estimated annualized burden hours. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
