DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

[60Day-21-21FJ; Docket No. CDC-2021-0054]


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 proposed and/or 
continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed 
information collection project titled Program Evaluation of CDC's Core 
State Injury Prevention Program. The proposed project is intended to 
assess both recipient-level and program-level outcomes associated with 
the NCIPC's Core SIPP funded state injury prevention program.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before August 9, 2021.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2021-
0054 by any of the following methods:
    <bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments.
    <bullet> Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review 
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road 
NE, MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments 
to Regulations.gov.
    Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking 
portal (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

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

Program Evaluation 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

    CDC requests OMB approval for three years for this new data 
collection. Approval is requested to collect information from awardees 
funded under the Core State Injury Prevention Program cooperative 
agreement, hereafter known as Core SIPP. This program is a new 
initiative. As part of the annual program evaluation data collection, 
recipients will submit data on enhancements in program implementation 
capacity, leveraged resources/funds through economic indicators, 
challenges and successes, programmatic improvements, and impact through 
interviews. Finally, awardees will annually submit injury and violence 
prevention surveillance data using an Excel-based Injury Indicator 
Spreadsheets and Special Emphasis Reports.
    Information to be collected will provide crucial data for program 
evaluation and provide CDC with the ability 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, and 
Congress. It will also provide increased capacity, help understand how 
the cooperative agreement increases potential sustainability though 
improved capacity, provide data-driven technical assistance, and 
disseminate the most current surveillance data on unintentional and 
intentional injuries.
    Authority for CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and 
Control (NCIPC) to collect these data is granted by Section 301 of the 
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241). This Act gives federal 
health agencies, such as CDC, broad authority to collect data and 
participate in other public health activities, including this type of 
program implementation evaluation. The Core SIPP evaluation will 
collect several types of information from recipients over the course of 
the funding cycle. This information will be used to:
    (1) Evaluate and track outcomes at the recipient- and program-
levels as they relate to injury prevention-focused infrastructure 
development, surveillance system development and use, and partnerships, 
to prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Traumatic Brain Injury 
(TBI), and transportation-related injuries. Recipient- and program-
level identification of disproportionately affected populations and 
subsequent public health actions taken to address injury-related health 
disparities will also be assessed.
    (2) Identify technical assistance needs of individual recipients 
and this recipient cohort, so that the CDC team can appropriately 
deploy resources to support recipients.
    (3) Identify practice-based evidence for injury prevention public 
health actions to advance the field through future partnerships, 
program design, and publications.

[[Page 30940]]

    (4) Inform continuous quality improvement activities over the 
course of the funding period, to include quarterly and annual strategic 
planning for current and later iterations of this program under future 
funding.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 655 annual burden hours. 
There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.
