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
Performance Monitoring of CDC's Comprehensive Suicide Prevention
Program (OMB Control No. 0920-1368, Exp. 11/30/2028)--Revision--
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Suicide rates have increased by approximately 31% between 2000 and
2024. In January 2020, CDC received an appropriation for its
Comprehensive Suicide Prevention program (CSP). This program seeks to
reduce suicide morbidity and mortality by 10% in populations
disproportionately impacted by suicide in participating jurisdictions.
The 24 recipients of the CSP cooperative agreement are required to
develop a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention and implement
and evaluate this approach. Specifically, recipients will provide an
accounting of their progress in each of six elements of the
comprehensive approach (i.e., partnerships, data, inventory, strategy
selection and implementation, communications, and evaluation).
The results of the data collection have been vital to ensuring
efficient management of the program since its inception in 2020.
Results will continue to allow NCIPC staff to provide data-driven
technical assistance to recipients. In addition, the data collection
informs the continuous quality improvement process and allows NCIPC
staff to make annual course corrections and describe the impact on
suicide-related outcomes.
NCIPC will continue to use the information collected to perform
program activities to accomplish the following objectives:
<bullet> Monitor each awardee's progress and identify facilitators
and barriers to program implementation and achievement of outcomes.
<bullet> Identify trends in injury surveillance data to inform
state priorities for suicide prevention and intervention strategies as
well as the production of relevant reports, journal articles, and
resources for state health departments.
<bullet> Identify, translate, and disseminate information about
successful suicide prevention and control strategies implemented by
recipients through the development of journal articles, tools,
templates, and other suicide prevention resources/products.
NCIPC received initial OMB approval for this data collection in
September 2022. This Revision is for the addition of a new instrument
to monitor recipient progress related to budget, staffing, and activity
implementation on a monthly schedule. The monthly report enables CSP
recipients to provide monthly updates to CDC, describing any technical
assistance needs, staffing changes, implementation successes and
challenges, and evaluation updates. This ensures CDC is appraised of
updates and activities conducted within jurisdictions.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 912 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
