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 continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Improving Performance Measurement and Monitoring by CDC Programs: The Performance Measures Project. CDC is requesting approval for a Revision to the previously approved project to work with selected CDC programs to provide tools, templates and technical assistance to develop and implement performance measures for CDC funded public health initiatives.

collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled Improving Performance Measurement and Monitoring by CDC
Programs: The Performance Measures Project. CDC is requesting approval
for a Revision to the previously approved project to work with selected
CDC programs to provide tools, templates and technical assistance to
develop and implement performance measures for CDC funded public health
initiatives.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before April 27, 2026.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2026-
0298 by either of the following methods:

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
Improving Performance Measurement and Monitoring by CDC Programs:
The Performance Measures Project (OMB Control No. 0920-1282, Exp. 06/
30/2029)--Revision--Office of Policy Performance and Evaluation (OPPE),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Each year, approximately 75% of the CDC's congressionally
appropriated funding goes to extramural organizations, including state
and local partners, via contracts, grants, and, most commonly,
cooperative agreements. The availability of funding for grants and
cooperative agreements is announced through a Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO). CDC awards up to 100 new, non-research NOFOs each
year (each funded for one to five years). These awards may have only a
few funded recipients or more than 50 (such as when a CDC program
provides funding to all states and territories).
CDC programs develop logic models for each NOFO, describing the key
programmatic strategies and activities and the short, intermediate, and
long-term outcomes funded recipients are expected to achieve during
their period of performance. Programs develop performance measures
customized to a NOFO-specific public health initiative to assess
actions prescribed by the logic model with the immediate goal of
monitoring progress and the long-term goal of improving performance.
Monitoring and reporting of program performance is required of any
non-federal entity receiving federal funds under 45 CFR 75.342 which
states; ``the non-Federal entity must monitor its activities under
Federal awards to assure compliance with applicable Federal
requirements and performance expectations are being achieved.'' Under
this requested approval, CDC programs customized a sample ``Recipient
[[Page 8883]]
Codebook Technical Specification'' and a sample ``Recipient Data
Reporting Guide'' to measure, at the local level, the desired public
health outcomes of a particular public health initiative, in compliance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Individual collection requests
submitted under this Generic approval will include the tailored forms
and a supplementary template. CDC programs who may be developing new,
non-research NOFOs or are currently collecting data under an approved
NOFO are eligible to participate.
Currently, CDC programs have received OMB approval to collect
performance measure data using the 0920-1282 Generic Information
Collection. This Revision is requested to allow participating CDC
programs to continue performance measure data collection through the
remaining approval period and for additional programs to use the
Generic mechanism for future performance measure data collection. This
Revision reflects expanded technical assistance that the Performance
and Evaluation Office (PEO) provides.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 104,949 annual burden
hours. Participation of respondents is voluntary. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
