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 Comprehensive 
Suicide 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 
August 6, 2021 to obtain comments from the public and affected 
agencies. CDC did not receive comments related 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 particular 
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 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 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 OMB approval for an estimated 132 annual burden hours. 
There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.
