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 ``Rape Prevention and Education (RPE)
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 October
16, 2023 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC
received three 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
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
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.
The total annual burden requested by CDC is estimated to be 1,408
hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to
participate.
