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
Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) Program--New--National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Sexual violence (SV) is a major public health problem, one in three
women and one in four men experienced sexual violence involving
physical contact during their lifetimes. Nearly one in five women and
one in 38 men have experienced completed or attempted rape. Sexual
violence starts early: one in three female and one in four male rape
victims experienced it for the first time between 11-17 years old. The
Rape Prevention and Education Program (RPE) provides funding to health
departments and sexual violence coalitions in all 50 States, the
District of Columbia (DC), and U.S. Territories, as well as up to 10
Tribal coalitions. CDC will collect data from RPE Program recipients to
assess how recipients are improving prevention infrastructure,
implementing, and evaluating prevention strategies to expand efforts to
prevent sexual assault, and using data to inform prevention action.
Recipients will have an opportunity to: (1) continue to build
program and partner capacity to facilitate and monitor the
implementation of SV prevention programs, practices, and policies; (2)
continue to support State and Territorial health departments'
implementation of community-and societal-level programs, practices, and
policies to prevent SV; (3) continue to support the implementation of
data-driven, comprehensive, evidence-based SV primary prevention
strategies, and approaches focused mainly on health equity; and (4)
continuously conduct data to action activities to inform changes or
adaptations to existing SV strategies or on selected and implemented
additional strategies.
RPE Program recipients or designated delegates will submit data
annually into an online data system. Recipients will monitor and report
progress on their goals, objectives, and activities, as well as
relevant information on the implementation of their prevention
strategies, outcomes, evaluation, and State action plan. Information
will be collected via online web-based survey software. Descriptive
analyses (e.g., frequencies and crosstabs) will be performed on numeric
or categorical data, and content analyses (e.g., categorization) on
open-ended or text data. Information to be collected will provide
crucial data for program
[[Page 71363]]
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 unintentional and intentional injuries.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,408 annualized burden
hours. There are no direct costs to respondents other than their time
to participate.
