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.
