federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a continuing information
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled Performance Monitoring of CDC's Comprehensive Suicide Prevention
Program. This program will allow CDC to monitor awardee's progress,
identify trends, and translate and disseminate information about
successful suicide prevention and control strategies.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before August 15, 2025.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2025-
0014 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

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
[[Page 25289]]
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
Performance Monitoring of CDC's Comprehensive Suicide Prevention
Program (OMB Control No. 0920-1368, Exp. 9/30/2025)--Revision--National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Suicide rates have increased by about 36% between 2000 and 2023. In
January 2020, CDC received an appropriation for its Comprehensive
Suicide Prevention (CSP) Program. This program seeks to reduce suicide
morbidity and mortality by 10% in populations disproportionately
impacted by suicide in participating jurisdictions. NCIPC will continue
to use the information collected to perform program activities to
accomplish the following objectives:
<bullet> Monitor each awardee's progress and identify facilitators
and barriers to program implementation and achievement of outcomes.
Monitoring allows NCIPC to determine whether an awardee is meeting
stated performance goals, to inform awardee continuous quality
improvements, and to inform the type of intensity of CDC-provided
technical assistance to support attainment of their performance
measures.
<bullet> Identify trends in injury surveillance data to inform
state foci for suicide prevention and intervention strategies as well
as the production of relevant reports, journal articles, and resources
for state health departments.
<bullet> Identify, translate, and disseminate information about
successful suicide prevention and control strategies implemented by
recipients through the development of journal articles, tools,
templates, and other suicide prevention resources/products.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) received initial OMB
approval in September 2022. This revision request is for the addition
of a new instrument to monitor syndromic surveillance data on a
quarterly schedule and to update the estimated annualized cost to the
government. The quarterly syndromic surveillance report enables CSP
recipients to provide quarterly updates to partners in their individual
jurisdictions, describing trends in syndromic surveillance data,
including upticks or changes in patterns or groups impacted to promote
tailored suicide prevention outreach. Quarterly reporting ensures CDC
is apprised of trends in suicide related emergency department data
within jurisdictions.
Recipients will develop a comprehensive approach to suicide
prevention and then implement and evaluate this approach. The
comprehensive approach includes: (1) convening of multi-sectoral
partners; (2) using data to identify and learn about suicide in
populations disproportionately impacted; (3) inventorying existing
suicide prevention programs in the community; (4) selecting suicide
prevention strategies and approaches with the best available evidence
to complement existing programs; (5) creating a communication plan to
keep interest-holders informed; and (6) ongoing implementation and
evaluation. Evaluation will include monitoring of short-, intermediate-
, and long-term outcomes.
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 480 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
