SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AHRQ 

coordinates the development of sets of 

standardized definitions and formats 

(Common Formats) that make it possible 

to collect, aggregate, and analyze 

uniformly structured information about 

health care quality and patient safety for 

local, regional, and national learning. 

The Common Formats include technical 

specifications to facilitate the collection 

of electronically comparable data by 

Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs) and 

other entities. Additional information 

about the Common Formats can be 

obtained through AHRQ’s PSO website 

at https://pso.ahrq.gov/common-formats 

and the PSO Privacy Protection Center’s 

website at https://www.psoppc.org/

commonFormatsOverview. 

Background 

The Patient Safety and Quality 

Improvement Act of 2005, 42 U.S.C. 

299b–21 to 299b–26 (Patient Safety Act), 

and the related Patient Safety and 

Quality Improvement Final Rule, 42 

CFR part 3 (Patient Safety Rule), 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 21, 2008, 73 FR 70731– 

70814, provide for the Federal listing of 

Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs), 

which collect, aggregate, and analyze 

confidential information (patient safety 

work product) regarding the quality and 

safety of health care delivery. The 

Patient Safety Act requires PSOs, to the 

extent practical and appropriate, to 

collect patient safety work product from 

providers in a standardized manner that 

permits valid comparisons of similar 

cases among similar providers. (42 

U.S.C. 299b–24(b)(1)(F)). The Patient 

Safety Act also authorizes the 

development of data standards, known 

as the Common Formats, to facilitate the 

aggregation and analysis of nonidentifiable patient safety data collected 

by PSOs and reported to the network of 

patient safety databases (NPSD). (42 

U.S.C. 299b–23(b)). The Patient Safety 

Act and Patient Safety Rule can be 

accessed at: http://www.pso.ahrq.gov/ 

legislation/. 

AHRQ has issued Common Formats 

for Event Reporting (CFER) for three 

settings of care—hospitals, nursing 

homes, and community pharmacies. 

AHRQ has also issued Common Formats 

for Event Reporting—Diagnostic Safety 

(CFER–DS) designed for use in all 

healthcare settings. 

Federally listed PSOs can meet the 

requirement to collect patient safety 

work product in a standardized manner 

to the extent practical and appropriate 

by using AHRQ’s Common Formats. The 

Common Formats are also available in 

the public domain to encourage their 

widespread adoption. An entity does 

not need to be listed as a PSO or 

working with one to use the Common 

Formats. However, the Federal privilege 

and confidentiality protections only 

apply to information developed as 

patient safety work product by 

providers and PSOs working under the 

Patient Safety Act. 

Agenda, Registration, and Other 

Information About the Meeting 

The Agency for Healthcare Research 

and Quality (AHRQ) will be hosting this 

fully virtual meeting to discuss 

implementation of the Common Formats 

with members of the public, including 

software developers and other interested

parties. Agenda topics will include 

discussion of a new Common Formats 

commenting tool and presentation from 

the HIMSS EHR Association. Active 

participation and discussion by meeting 

participants is encouraged. 

AHRQ requests that interested 

persons send an email to SDMeetings@

infinityconferences.com for registration 

information. Before the meeting, an 

agenda and logistical information will 

be provided to registrants.

Recommendations 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice with comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of 

its continuing effort to reduce public 

burden and maximize the utility of 

government information, invites the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies the opportunity to comment on 

a proposed information collection, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. This notice invites 

comment on a proposed information 

collection project titled Rape Prevention 

and Education (RPE) Program. The RPE 

Program is designed to assess how 

recipients are improving prevention 

infrastructure, implementing, and 

evaluating prevention strategies to 

expand efforts to prevent sexual assault, 

and using data to inform prevention 

action. 

DATES: CDC must receive written

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 

Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) 

Program—New—National Center for 

Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Sexual violence (SV) is a major public 

health problem, one in three women 

and one in four men experienced sexual 

violence involving physical contact 

during their lifetimes. Nearly one in five 

women and one in 38 men have 

experienced completed or attempted 

rape. Sexual violence starts early: one in 

three female and one in four male rape 

victims experienced it for the first time 

between 11–17 years old. The Rape 

Prevention and Education Program 

(RPE) provides funding to health 

departments and sexual violence 

coalitions in all 50 States, the District of 

Columbia (DC), and U.S. Territories, as 

well as up to 10 Tribal coalitions. CDC 

will collect data from RPE Program 

recipients to assess how recipients are 

improving prevention infrastructure, 

implementing, and evaluating 

prevention strategies to expand efforts 

to prevent sexual assault, and using data 

to inform prevention action. 

Recipients will have an opportunity 

to: (1) continue to build program and 

partner capacity to facilitate and 

monitor the implementation of SV 

prevention programs, practices, and 

policies; (2) continue to support State 

and Territorial health departments’ 

implementation of community-and 

societal-level programs, practices, and 

policies to prevent SV; (3) continue to 

support the implementation of datadriven, comprehensive, evidence-based 

SV primary prevention strategies, and 

approaches focused mainly on health 

equity; and (4) continuously conduct 

data to action activities to inform 

changes or adaptations to existing SV 

strategies or on selected and 

implemented additional strategies. 

RPE Program recipients or designated 

delegates will submit data annually into 

an online data system. Recipients will 

monitor and report progress on their 

goals, objectives, and activities, as well 

as relevant information on the 

implementation of their prevention 

strategies, outcomes, evaluation, and 

State action plan. Information will be 

collected via online web-based survey 

software. Descriptive analyses (e.g., 

frequencies and crosstabs) will be 

performed on numeric or categorical 

data, and content analyses (e.g., 

categorization) on open-ended or text 

data. Information to be collected will 

provide crucial data for program
