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 ``Performance Progress and Monitoring Report 
(PPMR)'' 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 July 18, 
2025, 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

    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), as a set of progress reporting 
forms for non-research awards to collect information 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), 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 by submitting 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 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 12,996 annual burden hours.
