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 

Performance Monitoring of CDC’s 

Core State Injury Prevention Program— 

New—National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) seeks Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval to electronically collect 

performance monitoring data, via a webbased Partners’ Portal, from recipients 

funded under the Core State Injury 

Prevention Program cooperative 

agreement, hereafter known as Core 

SIPP. OMB approval is requested for 

three years. The electronic collection of 

information for program and 

performance monitoring aligns with 

three of CDC’s Data Modernization 

Initiative Key Objectives to: 

• Develop and implement cloudbased approaches for automating data 

collection and supporting multidirectional data flows among STLT 

partners and CDC. 

• Reduce burden for data providers 

and public health agencies. 

• Ensure systems and services are 

scalable, interoperable, and adaptable to 

meet evolving needs. 

Recipients will report progress and 

activity information to CDC on an 

annual schedule using a web-based 

Partners’ Portal. 

Information to be collected will 

provide crucial data for program 

performance monitoring and provide 

CDC with the capacity to respond in a 

timely manner to requests for 

information about the program from the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (DHHS), the White House, 

Congress, and other sources. 

Information to be collected will also 

strengthen CDC’s ability to monitor 

awardee progress, provide data-driven 

technical assistance, and disseminate 

the most current surveillance data on 

unintentional and intentional injuries. 

Monitoring the impact of populationbased strategies and identifying new 

insights and innovative solutions to 

health problems are two of the noted 

public health activities that all public 

health systems should undertake. For 

NCIPC, these objectives cannot be 

satisfied without the systematic 

collection of data and information from 

state health departments. The 

information collection will enable the 

accurate, reliable, uniform and timely 

submission to NCIPC of each awardee’s 

progress report and injury indicators, 

including strategies and performance 

measures. The information collection 

plan proposed here will also generate a 

variety of routine and customizable 

reports. State-specific reports will allow 

each awardee to summarize activities 

and progress towards meeting strategies 

and performance measure targets related 

to the reduction and prevention of 

unintentional and intentional injuries. 

NCIPC will also have the capacity to 

generate reports that describe activities 

and health outcomes across multiple 

recipients, which will enable better 

reporting of trends and provision of 

technical assistance through linking

35298 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 125 / Friday, July 2, 2021 / Notices 

partners across state health departments 

and collaborating divisions within CDC. 

The information collection and 

reporting requirements have been 

carefully designed to align with, and 

support the specific goals and outcomes 

outlined in the Core SIPP cooperative 

agreement. The overarching goal of Core 

SIPP is to strengthen the awardee’s 

injury prevention programs and policies 

and demonstrate impact in the 

reduction of injury-related morbidity 

and mortality. Although the data are 

limited to the 23 recipients of the Core 

SIPP NOFO, the results can be 

generalizable and inform injury 

prevention work. Moreover, it is 

asserted that the results of the data 

collection are vital to ensuring the Core 

SIPPs efficient management. Results 

will not only allow NCIPC staff to 

provide data-driven technical assistance 

to recipients, but also to assess patterns 

across other NCIPC injury prevention 

programs such as, Prescription Drug 

Overdose Prevention for States and the 

Injury Control Research Centers. In 

addition, the data collection will inform 

the continuous quality improvement 

process and allow NCIPC staff to make 

mid-course corrections and describe the 

impact on health outcomes. 

The information collection 

procedures will also allow NCIPC to 

respond to inquiries from the HHS, the 

White House, Congress and other 

stakeholders about program activities 

and their impact; as well as, work 

towards CDCs overarching mission to 

protect America from health, safety and 

security threats, both foreign and in the 

U.S. NCIPC will use the information 

collected in the Partners’ Portal to 

perform program activities to 

accomplish the following objectives: 

• Monitor each awardee’s progress 

and identify facilitators and barriers to 

program implementation and 

achievement of outcomes. Monitoring 

allows NCIPC to determine whether an 

awardee is meeting performance goals, 

to inform awardee continuous quality 

improvements, and to inform the type of 

intensity of CDC-provided technical 

assistance to support attainment of their 

performance measures. 

• Identify trends in injury 

surveillance data to inform state foci for 

prevention and intervention strategies 

as well as the production of relevant 

reports, journal articles, and resources 

for state health departments. 

• Identify, translate, and disseminate 

information about successful injury 

prevention and control strategies 

implemented by recipients through the 

development of journal articles, tools, 

templates, and other injury prevention 

resources/products. 

Program recipients will use the 

information collected to manage and 

coordinate their activities and to 

improve their efforts to prevent and 

control injuries. The Partners’ Portal 

allows recipients to fulfill their annual 

reporting obligations efficiently by 

employing user-friendly, easily 

accessible web-based instruments to 

collect necessary information for both 

progress reports and continuation 

applications including work plans. This 

approach enables recipients to save 

pertinent information from one 

reporting period to the next and reduces 

the administrative burden on the annual 

continuation application and the 

performance monitoring process. 

Awardee program staff are able to 

review the completeness of data needed 

to generate required reports, enter basic 

summary data for reports annually, and 

finalize and save required reports for 

upload into other reporting systems as 

required.
