Proposed Project 

All-Hazards Public Health Emergency 

Preparedness and Response Generic 

Data Collection—New—Coordinating 

Office for Terrorism Preparedness and 

Emergency Response (COTPER), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Data from agencies and individuals 

are needed to assist CDC in responding 

to and planning for domestic and 

international all-hazards public health 

emergencies. According to the glossary 

from the National Response Framework 

Resource Center, ‘‘all-hazards’’ is 

defined as ‘‘describing an incident, 

natural or manmade, that warrants 

action to protect life, property, 

environment, and public health or 

safety, and to minimize disruptions of 

government, social, or economic 

activities.’’ This generic IC requests the 

authority to collect a wide array of data 

from traditional and non-traditional 

public health sources to assist in this 

effort. This generic IC will enable CDC 

to collect data during public health 

emergencies (as the response is taking 

place) and after public health 

emergencies (as the recovery is taking 

place) to aid response and recovery 

efforts and to answer pre-determined 

research questions. These data may be 

used to inform our preparedness for 

subsequent emergencies that may 

potentially occur and also inform 

decisions made by CDC Director. 

All-hazards public health emergencies 

are those events that are formally 

declared emergencies by Federal, State 

or local jurisdictions. Declarations can 

be made by the Secretary of the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (DHHS) under Section 319 of 

the Public Health Service Act and at the 

state or local levels by the Governor, 

state public health officer, city or county 

council or mayor and the local public 

health officer respectively. During and 

after these emergencies, assistance may 

be needed to supplement State and local 

efforts and capabilities to save lives and 

to protect property and public health 

and safety, or to lessen or avert the 

threat of a catastrophe. Also, CDC may 

have to assist the State and local, tribal, 

and territorial levels of government with 

critical data collection to support 

immediate data needs for situational 

awareness. Situational Awareness has 

been defined as ‘‘the perception of 

elements in the environment within a 

volume of time and space, the 

comprehension of their meaning, and 

the projection of their status in the near 

future.’’ 

A three-year OMB approval is 

requested to allow CDC to collect data 

during and after emergencies. Data 

collected under this generic IC will use 

a variety of data collection methods. 

Some of the methods include but are not 

limited to: Personal interviews, 

telephone interviews, focus groups, 

institutional record reviews, medical 

record reviews, and paper or Internet 

questionnaires and other secure 

electronic data exchange. Each proposed 

data collection submitted under this 

generic IC will provide information 

pertaining to that particular public 

health emergency. Respondents will be 

advised of the nature of the activity, the 

length of time required for participation 

and that their participation is voluntary. 

There are no costs to respondents 

except their time.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Families 

AGENCY: Family and Youth Services 

Bureau, ACYF, ACF, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice to Award Five Expansion 

Supplement Grants. 

CFDA Number: 93.592. 

Legislative Authority: The Family 

Violence Prevention and Services Act, 

42 U.S.C. 10401 through 10421, as 

extended by the Department of Health 

and Human Services Appropriations 

Act, 2009, Public Law 111–8. 

Total Amount of Awards: $400,000. 

Project Period: September 30, 2009— 

September 29, 2010. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

award of expansion supplement grants 

to five grantees under the Family and 

Youth Services Bureau (FYSB)/Family 

Violence Prevention and Services 

Program. Expansion supplement awards 

are made to four technical assistance 

(TA) providers to support their capacity 

to enhance victim services by providing 

more extensive TA to local domestic 

violence programs and State domestic 

violence coalitions under the Open 

Doors to Safety: Capacity-Building Grant 

(Capacity-Building) project. The 

supplemental funds, coupled with the 

TA providers’ expertise, will enable 

Open Doors Safety Capacity-Building 

project grantees to receive more training 

and site-specific consultation, so that 

they may build program capacity. The 

awards will also support State-level 

collaboration between domestic 

violence organizations and child welfare 

agencies. These combined efforts will 

strengthen the ability of domestic 

violence programs and their partners to 

better serve survivors who have diverse 

backgrounds, experiences, and abilities.
