Proposed Data Collection Submitted 

for Public Comment and 

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 continuing information collection, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. This notice invites 

comment on a proposed information 

collection project titled The National 

Violent Death Reporting System. 

(NVDRS). NVDRS is a state-based 

surveillance system developed to 

monitor the occurrence of violent 

deaths, including homicide, suicide, 

deaths due to legal intervention, deaths 

of undetermined intent, and 

unintentional firearm deaths in the U.S. 

DATES: CDC must receive written 

comments on or before January 3, 2025. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CDC–2024– 

0089 by either of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information 

Collection Review Office, Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 

Clifton Road NE, MS H21–8, Atlanta, 

Georgia 30329. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and 

Docket Number. CDC will post, without 

change, all relevant comments to 

www.regulations.gov. 

Please note: Submit all comments through 

the Federal eRulemaking portal 

(www.regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the 

address listed above. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

request more information on the 

proposed project or to obtain a copy of 

the information collection plan and 

instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, 

Information Collection Review Office, 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS– 

D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329; phone: 

404–639–7570; email: omb@cdc.gov. 

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;

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 213 / Monday, November 4, 2024 / Notices 87589 

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 

The National Violence Death 

Reporting System (NVDRS) (OMB 

Control No. 0920–0607, Exp. 9/30/ 

2025)—Revision—National Center for 

Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Violence against others or oneself is a 

major public health problem in the 

United States and is a particular 

problem for the young: suicide and 

homicide were among the top four 

leading causes of death for Americans 

10–44 and 1–34 years of age in 2022. A 

key to preventing these violent deaths is 

to understand and target their 

circumstances. Given the magnitude of 

the problem, it is noteworthy that no 

national surveillance system for violent 

deaths existed in the U.S. until the 

National Violent Death Reporting 

System (NVDRS) was developed. 

NVDRS is a state-based surveillance 

system developed to monitor the 

occurrence of violent deaths (e.g., 

homicide, suicide, deaths due to legal 

intervention, deaths of undetermined 

intent, and unintentional firearm 

deaths) in the U.S. by collecting 

comprehensive data from multiple 

sources (e.g., death certificates, coroner/ 

medical examiner reports, law 

enforcement reports) into a useable, 

anonymous database. 

CDC received initial OMB approval 

for NVDRS in November 2004 and 

renewals through July 2020. This 

Revision request includes several minor 

updates: (1) implement updates to the 

web-based system to improve 

performance, functionality, and 

accessibility; (2) add new data elements 

to the system; and (3) make minimal 

revisions to the NVDRS Coding Manual. 

The School Associated Violent Death 

(SAVD) module was added in the 

previous Revision request on July 2020, 

due to the discontinuation of the SAVD 

Surveillance System (OMB Control No. 

0920–0604). SAVD currently monitors 

school-associated violent deaths across 

the U.S. by abstracting data from media 

reports. These data play an important 

role in assessing national trends in 

school-associated violent deaths and 

helping inform efforts to prevent fatal 

school violence. To address duplication, 

the SAVD was phased out and the 

SAVD module in NVDRS will capture in 

depth information about such incidents. 

The Public Safety Officer Suicide 

Reporting module was also added to the 

system to capture more detailed 

information on suicides among public 

safety officers. This module includes 

information specific to first responders 

and builds upon elements collected as 

part of current NVDRS. Like the SAVD 

module, it is a tab in the NVDRS webbased system that only applies to a 

subset of incidents. 

NVDRS is an ongoing surveillance 

system that captures annual violent 

death counts, CDC aggregates deidentified data from each state into one 

national database that is analyzed and 

released in annual reports and other 

publications. A restricted access 

database is available for researchers to 

request access to NVDRS data for 

analysis and a web-based query system 

is open for public use that allows for 

electronic querying of data. NVDRS 

generates public health surveillance 

information at the national, state, and 

local levels that is more detailed, useful, 

and timely. The information helps 

identify where prevention efforts need 

to be focused. CDC requests OMB 

approval for an estimated 41,827 annual 

burden hours. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time to 

participate.
