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 ‘‘Annual 

Progress Reports for Injury Control 

Research Centers (ICRC)’’ 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 June 4, 

2024 to obtain comments from the 

public and affected agencies. CDC 

received one non-substantive 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 www.reginfo.gov/public/

Proposed Project 

Annual Progress Reports for Injury 

Control Research Centers (ICRC)— 

New—National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

In 1987, the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC) and the 

National Center for Injury Prevention 

and Control (NCIPC) began funding 

Injury Control Research Centers (ICRCs) 

at academic research institutions 

throughout the United States. ICRCs 

focus on three core functions—research, 

training, and outreach—for issues of 

local and national importance, 

including the prevention of adverse 

childhood experiences; child abuse and 

neglect; drowning; drug overdose; 

intimate partner violence; older adult 

falls; sexual violence; suicide; traumatic 

brain injuries, and the promotion of 

transportation safety. ICRCs foster 

multidisciplinary strategies for 

addressing these complex problems and 

disseminating research findings. In 

addition to conducting cutting-edge, 

multidisciplinary research, ICRCs train 

and develop the current and next 

generation of researchers and public 

health professionals to help ensure that 

there is an adequate supply of qualified 

practitioners and researchers for 

advancing prevention research, 

addressing new problems, and reaching 

new populations across the nation. 

Finally, ICRCs work with states and 

communities to translate research 

findings into action. ICRCs provide 

partner organizations with technical 

assistance on programs, public health 

infrastructure, and the integration of 

resources at the local, state, and national 

levels. Areas of emphasis within each 

ICRC are determined by the expertise of 

the faculty and the public health needs 

and opportunities identified through the 

ICRC’s outreach activities. This 

collaborative approach is a vital 

component in the success of efforts to 

make an impact on population-level 

reduction in injury-related harm. 

ICRCs form a national network of 

expertise and innovation in injury 

prevention and control. ICRC grants are 

typically funded in five-year funding 

cycles. The Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC) requests OMB 

approval to electronically collect annual 

progress report (APR) information and 

Success Stories from the 11 currently 

funded ICRCs. Grantees will report 

progress and activity information to 

CDC on an annual schedule. 

The information that will be collected 

will provide crucial data for program 

performance monitoring and will 

improve CDC’s ability to respond in a 

timely manner to requests for 

information about the program from the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), the White House, 

Congress, and other sources. The 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 222 / Monday, November 18, 2024 / Notices 90701 

information that will be collected will 

also strengthen CDC’s ability to monitor 

grantee progress towards stated grant 

research, training, and outreach 

objectives, provide data-driven 

technical assistance, and disseminate 

Success Stories about what is working 

to reduce unintentional and intentional 

injuries. 

To improve and innovate through 

evaluation, research, and quality 

improvement; investigate, diagnose, and 

address health hazards and root causes; 

communicate effectively to inform and 

educate; strengthen, support, and 

mobilize communities and partnerships; 

and create, champion, and implement 

policies, plans, and laws are five of the 

noted public health activities that all 

public health systems should undertake. 

CDC ICRC grantees do all of these 

activities, and the systematic collection 

of data, annually, is the best way for 

CDC to understand this work. This APR 

information collection will enable 

grantees to submit accurate, reliable, 

and timely activity and performance 

data to the CDC. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 231 annual burden hours. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time.

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.
