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 continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Performance Progress and Monitoring Report (PPMR). The PPMR is designed to allow CDC to collect information related to CDC Awardee's budgets, strategies and activities, and the process and outcome performance measures outlined by the cooperative agreement programs, in order to evaluate partnerships and the work that is done on behalf of CDC.

titled Performance Progress and Monitoring Report (PPMR). The PPMR is 
designed to allow CDC to collect information related to CDC Awardee's 
budgets, strategies and activities, and the process and outcome 
performance measures outlined by the cooperative agreement programs, in 
order to evaluate partnerships and the work that is done on behalf of 
CDC.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before September 16, 
2025.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2025-

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

    Performance Progress and Monitoring Report (PPMR) (OMB Control No. 
0920-1132, Exp. 3/31/2026)--Extension--Office of Science (OS), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Each year, approximately 80% of the CDC's budget is distributed via 
contracts, grants and cooperative agreements, from the Office of 
Financial Resources (OFR) to partners (Awardees) throughout the world 
in an effort to promote health, prevent disease, injury and disability 
and prepare for new health threats. OFR is responsible for the 
stewardship of these funds while providing excellent, professional 
services to our partners and stakeholders.
    Currently, CDC uses the Performance Progress and Monitoring Report 
(PPMR, OMB Control No. 0920-1132, Expiration: 3/31/2026), a set of 
progress reporting forms for Non-Research awards to collect information 
semi-annually from Awardees regarding the progress made over specified 
time periods on CDC funded projects. The PPMR was originally modified 
from SF-PPR (OMB Control No. 0970-0406, Expiration: 10/31/2015), a 
similar progress report that was owned by the Administration for 
Children and Families (ACF) within the Department of Health and Human 
Services (HHS). The PPMR was created by CDC to provide an agency-wide 
collection tool that would be able to obtain data on the progress of 
CDC Awardees for the purposes of evaluation, and to bring the Awardee 
reporting procedure into compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act 
(PRA).
    The information collected enables the accurate, reliable, uniform, 
and timely submission to CDC of each Awardee's work plans and progress 
reports, including strategies, activities and performance measures. The 
information collected by the PPMR is designed to align with, and 
support the goals outlined for each of the CDC Awardees. Collection and 
reporting of the information will occur in an efficient, standardized, 
and user-friendly manner that will generate a variety of routine and 
customizable reports. The PPMR will allow each Awardee to summarize 
activities and progress towards meeting performance measures and goals 
over a specified time period specific to each award. CDC will also have 
the capacity to generate reports that describe activities across 
multiple Awardees. In addition, CDC will use the information collection 
to respond to inquiries from HHS, Congress and other stakeholder 
inquiries about program activities and their impact. The current 
submission process allows Awardees to submit a completed PDF version of 
the PPMR by uploading it to <a href="http://www.grants.gov">www.grants.gov</a>, or directly to the programs 
at CDC that will be performing the evaluation.
    This Extension request is being submitted to allow CDC to continue 
collection of this valuable information

[[Page 33958]]

from Awardees for an additional three years. There are no anticipated 
changes to the information collection instruments or associated burden 
at this time. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 13,014 annual 
burden hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
