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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the 
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan 
and instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection

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.
