Abstract

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Annual Progress Reports for Injury Control Research Centers (ICRC). ICRCs focus on research, training, and outreach for issues of local and national importance, including the prevention of adverse childhood experiences, child abuse and neglect, drowning, drug overdose, intimate partner violence, older adult falls, sexual violence, suicide, and traumatic brain injuries, as well as the promotion of transportation safety.

notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project 
titled Annual Progress Reports for Injury Control Research Centers 
(ICRC). ICRCs focus on research, training, and outreach for issues of 
local and national importance, including the prevention of adverse 
childhood experiences, child abuse and neglect, drowning, drug 
overdose, intimate partner violence, older adult falls, sexual 
violence, suicide, and traumatic brain injuries, as well as the 
promotion of transportation safety.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before August 5, 2024.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2024-
0048 by either of the following methods:
    <bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow 
the instructions for submitting comments.
    <bullet> Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review 
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road 
NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments 
to <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
    Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking 
portal (<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>) or by U.S. mail to the address listed 
above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies

[[Page 47964]]

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

    Annual Progress Reports for Injury Control Research Centers 
(ICRC)--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In 1987, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and 
the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) began 
funding Injury Control Research Centers (ICRCs) at academic research 
institutions throughout the United States. ICRCs focus on three core 
functions--research, training, and outreach--for issues of local and 
national importance, including the prevention of adverse childhood 
experiences; child abuse and neglect; drowning; drug overdose; intimate 
partner violence; older adult falls; sexual violence; suicide; and 
traumatic brain injuries, and the promotion of transportation safety. 
ICRCs foster multidisciplinary strategies for addressing these complex 
problems and disseminating research findings. In addition to conducting 
cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research, ICRCs train and develop the 
current and next generation of researchers and public health 
professionals to help ensure that there is an adequate supply of 
qualified practitioners and researchers for advancing prevention 
research, addressing new problems, and reaching new populations across 
the nation. Finally, ICRCs work with States and communities to 
translate research findings into action. ICRCs provide partner 
organizations with technical assistance on programs, public health 
infrastructure, and the integration of resources at the local, State, 
and national levels. Areas of emphasis within each ICRC are determined 
by the expertise of the faculty and the public health needs and 
opportunities identified through the ICRC's outreach activities. This 
collaborative approach is a vital component in the success of efforts 
to make an impact on population-level reduction in injury-related harm.
    ICRCs form a national network of expertise and innovation in injury 
prevention and control. ICRC grants are typically funded in five-year 
funding cycles. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
requests OMB approval to electronically collect annual progress report 
(APR) information and Success Stories from the 11 currently funded 
ICRCs. Grantees will report progress and activity information to CDC on 
an annual schedule using a web-based CAMP. The information that will be 
collected will provide crucial data for program performance monitoring 
and will improve CDC's ability 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. The information that will be collected will also strengthen 
CDC's ability to monitor grantee progress towards stated grant 
research, training, and outreach objectives, provide data-driven 
technical assistance, and disseminate Success Stories about what's 
working to reduce unintentional and intentional injuries. This data 
collection will improve and innovate through evaluation, research, and 
quality improvement; investigate, diagnose, and address health hazards 
and root causes; communicate effectively to inform and educate; 
strengthen, support, and mobilize communities and partnerships; and 
create, champion, and implement policies, plans. CDC ICRC grantees 
perform all of these activities, and the systematic collection of data, 
annually, is the best way for CDC to understand this work. This APR 
information collection will enable grantees to submit accurate, 
reliable, and timely activity and performance data to the CDC.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 183 annual burden hours. 
There is no cost to participants other than their time.
