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
DELTA Cooperative Agreement Evaluation (OMB Control No. 0920-1412,
Exp. 8/31/2026)--Revision--National Center for Injury Prevention and
Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks OMB
approval for three years for this Revision information collection
request (ICR) to continue collecting information from 13 recipients
(State Domestic Violence Coalitions) funded through CDC's Domestic
Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances
(DELTA) program. CDC will continue to collect information from DELTA
recipients as part of its ongoing program evaluation to assess the
implementation and impact of the NOFO and further understand the
facilitators, barriers, and critical factors to implement specific
violence prevention strategies and conduct program evaluation
activities.
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a serious, yet preventable
public health problem that affects millions of people in the United
States each year. Data from CDC's 2023/2024 National Intimate Partner
and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) indicate that nearly one in three
adult women (34%) and approximately one in six men (17%) in the U.S.
report having experienced contact sexual violence, physical violence,
and/or stalking by a partner. Data from the 2016/2017 NISVS indicate
that the lifetime prevalence of experiencing contact sexual violence,
physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner is not shared
equally across all groups. Studies also show that people with a
disability have nearly double the lifetime risk of IPV
[[Page 14024]]
victimization. To achieve optimal level of health for all, including
those with the greatest risk for violence, requires focusing prevention
efforts where they will have the greatest impact.
Information collected from recipients on state- and local-level
provides crucial data for performance monitoring of the cooperative
agreement and provides 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 collected also strengthens
CDC's ability to monitor awardee progress toward achievement of their
stated goals and objectives, provide data-driven technical assistance,
and disseminate the most current surveillance data on unintentional and
intentional injuries.
Monitoring the impact strategies and identifying new insights and
innovative solutions to health problems are two of the noted public
health activities that all public health systems should undertake. For
NCIPC, these objectives cannot be satisfied without the systematic
collection of data and information from state health departments. The
information collection will enable accurate, reliable, uniform, and
timely submission to NCIPC of each awardee's progress report,
strategies and performance measures. Funded recipients are expected to
use data to inform prevention practices. By increasing access to
conditions needed for health and safety, funded recipients reduce risk
factors for and/or increase protective factors against Intimate Partner
Violence (IPV). Authorized by the Family Violence and Prevention
Services Act (FVPSA), CDC has funded the DELTA Program since 2002. The
DELTA program funds State Domestic Violence Coalitions (SDVCs) to
implement statewide IPV prevention efforts and assist and fund local
communities to do the same.
The information collection and reporting requirements have been
revised to streamline the process while still ensuring alignment with
and support of the specific goals and outcomes outlined in the
cooperative agreement. This funding opportunity includes two funding
options. Category A recipients will have existing high capacity to
implement primary prevention strategies and will build upon existing
efforts. Category B recipients will focus on gathering publicly
available data to better understand gaps in IPV prevention resources,
building capacity to implement and evaluate IPV primary prevention in
their state and selected communities, and using evaluation data for
quality improvement.
CDC will use the information collected to further understand the
facilitators, barriers, and critical factors to implementing specific
violence prevention strategies and conducting related program
evaluation activities. Data collected will also be used to inform CDC's
training and technical assistance, program improvement, progress toward
NOFO goals, and the development of future funding opportunities.
Program evaluation activities allow CDC to identify and disseminate
information about successful prevention strategies implemented by
recipients. These functions are central to NCIPC's broad mission of
protecting Americans from violence and injury threats. This information
collection will allow CDC to monitor the impact of the strategies
implemented by the recipients on outcomes related to intimate partner
violence prevention. It is also expected to reduce duplication of
effort, enhance program impact, and maximize the use of federal funds.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 130 annual burden hours.
There are no direct costs to respondents other than their time to
participate.
