again at a six-month follow-up, after 

enrolling in the study. The intervention 

group will participate in ChiCAS after 

completing the baseline assessment and 

the delayed intervention group will 

participate in ChiCAS after completing 

the six-month follow up assessment. 

CDC will also examine intervention 

experiences through in-depth interviews 

with 30 intervention group participants. 

The interviews will capture 

participants’ general experiences with 

the ChiCAS intervention, as well as 

their experiences and perceptions 

specific to the main study outcomes: 

PrEP knowledge, awareness, interest 

and use; condom skills and use; and 

hormone therapy knowledge, 

awareness, interest and use. 

It is expected that 50% of transgender 

women screened will meet study 

eligibility. We expect the initial 

screening and contact information 

gathering to take approximately four 

minutes to complete. The baseline 

assessment will take 60 minutes to 

complete and will be administered to 

140 participants. The follow up 

assessment will take 45 minutes to 

complete and will be administered to 

140 participants one time. The 

interview will take 90 minutes to 

complete and will be administered to 30 

participants from the intervention group 

one time. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

155.

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.

School Associated Violent Death 

Surveillance System (OMB No. 0920–

Revision—National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC),

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Division of Violence Prevention 

(DVP), National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

proposes to maintain a system for the 

surveillance of school-associated 

homicides and suicides. The system 

relies on existing public records and 

interviews with law enforcement 

officials and school officials. The 

purpose of the system is to (1) estimate 

the rate of school-associated violent 

death in the United States, and (2) 

identify common features of schoolassociated violent deaths. The system 

will contribute to the understanding of 

fatal violence associated with schools, 

guide further research in the area, and 

help direct ongoing and future 

prevention programs. 

Violence is the leading cause of death 

among young people, and increasingly 

recognized as an important public 

health and social issue. In 2016, over 

3,600 school-aged children (five to 18 

years old) in the United States died 

violent deaths due to suicide, homicide, 

and unintentional firearm injuries. The 

vast majority of these fatal injuries were 

not school associated. However, 

whenever a homicide or suicide occurs 

in or around school, it becomes a matter 

of particularly intense public interest 

and concern. NCIPC conducted the first 

scientific study of school-associated 

violent deaths (SAVD) during the 1992– 

99 academic years to establish the true 

extent of this highly visible problem. 

Despite the important role of schools as 

a setting for violence research and 

prevention interventions, relatively 

little scientific or systematic work has 

been done to describe the nature and 

level of fatal violence associated with 

schools. Until NCIPC conducted the first 

nationwide investigation of violent 

deaths associated with schools, public 

health and education officials had to 

rely on limited local studies and 

estimated numbers to describe the 

extent of school-associated violent 

death. 

SAVD is an ongoing surveillance 

system that draws cases from the entire 

United States in an attempt to capture 

all cases of school-associated violent 

deaths that have occurred. Investigators 

review public records and published 

press reports concerning each schoolassociated violent death. For each 

identified case, investigators also 

contact the corresponding law 

enforcement agency and speak with an 

official in order to confirm or reject the 

case as an SAVD, and to request a copy 

of the official law enforcement report for 

confirmed SAVD cases. 

In past years, investigators would 

interview an investigating law 

enforcement official (defined as a police 

officer, police chief, or district attorney), 

and a school official (defined as a school 

principal, school superintendent, school 

counselor, school teacher, or school 

support staff) who were knowledgeable 

about the case in question; however, 

moving forward, the interviews with 

these respondents will be eliminated, 

and instead CDC study personnel will 

abstract data from law enforcement 

reports to enter using a Data Abstraction 

Tool. Data to be abstracted from the law 

enforcement report include the 

following: Information on both the 

victim and alleged offender(s)— 

including demographic data, their 

criminal records, and their relationship 

to one another; the time and location of 

the incident precipitating the fatality; 

the circumstances, motive, and method 

of the fatal injury; and the security and 

violence prevention activities in the 

school and community where the death 

occurred, before and after the fatal 

injury event. The revised data collection 

process eliminates the use of telephone 

interviews and will greatly reduce 

respondents’ burden. 

This is a revision request for the 

currently approved ‘‘School-Associated 

Violent Deaths Surveillance System’’ 

(SAVD; OMB No. 0920–0604, expiration 

07/31/2022). CDC seeks to (1) collect the 

majority of the data on schoolassociated violent deaths through the 

National Violent Death Reporting 

System (NVDRS), (2) eliminate the use 

of abstraction of law enforcement 

reports through the SAVD, and (3) 

transition to abstraction of published 

press reports by SAVD study staff. The 

overall burden for the collection of 

school-associated violent deaths will be 

increased by six hours. Data collection 

will transition entirely to the NVDRS 

once cases from 2020 are fully 

abstracted and there is the capability for 

nationwide coverage of the collection of 

school-associated violent deaths 

through NVDRS. All data are secured 

using technical, physical, and 

administrative controls. Hard copies of 

data are kept under lock and key in 

secured offices, located in a secured 

facility that can be accessed only by 

presenting the appropriate credentials. 

Digital data are password protected and 

then stored (and backed up routinely) 

onto a secure Local Area Network that 

can only be accessed by individuals 

who have been appropriately 

authorized. Study data are reported in 

the aggregate, such that no individual 

case can be identified from the reports. 

CDC requests approval for an 

estimated 23 annual burden hours. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time.
