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 ``The Performance Measures Project: Improving
Performance Measurement and Monitoring by CDC Programs'' 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 February 24, 2026 to obtain comments from
the public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment 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
The Performance Measures Project: Improving Performance Measurement
and Monitoring by CDC Programs (OMB Control No. 0920-1282; Exp. 06/30/
2026)--Revision--Office of the 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 1-5 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. Monitoring and reporting of
program performance is required of any non-federal entity receiving
federal funds under 45 CFR 75.342; ``The non-Federal entity must
monitor its activities under Federal awards to assure compliance with
applicable Federal requirements and performance expectations are being
achieved.''
CDC's Performance and Evaluation Office (PEO) provides technical
assistance to CDC programs and funding recipients with the immediate
goal of monitoring progress and the long-term goals of improving
performance and maximizing public health impact. Greater public health
impact can be achieved by the development of performance measures and
monitoring plans that are customized to the goals outlined in each
NOFO. PEO therefore provides consultations for the development of NOFO-
specific performance measures and the development of each NOFO's logic
model, i.e., a graphic depiction of the relationship between the funded
activities and the intended effects or outcomes of those activities in
the short, medium, and/or long term. PEO has also developed templates
that can be further customized by CDC/ATSDR programs participating in
the Performance Measures Project (PMP). These templates include a
sample ``Recipient Codebook Technical Specification'' and a sample
``Recipient Data Reporting Guide.'' After the templates are finalized
by PEO and the CDC/ATSDR program, the templates are completed by the
recipients of CDC/ATSDR funding.
CDC requests OMB approval to continue information collection for
the PMP, with no changes except for the request for additional burden
hours. Individual collection requests submitted under this Generic
Clearance will continue to include the tailored forms and a
supplementary template that provides a description of program purpose
and the estimated burden of information collection. Through this
Revision, CDC requests additional capacity to ensure seamless
continuation of individual GenIC data collections that were previously
approved (34,949 hours), but have not been completed. Combined with the
estimated annualized burden hours for new GENICs (70,000 hours), CDC
estimates 104,949 total annualized burden hours. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
