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.

(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.

Proposed Project 

Evaluation of the Overdose Data to 

Action Technical Assistance Hub— 

New—National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) 

Background and Brief Description 

The Division of Overdose Prevention 

(DOP), at Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC) requests a threeyear OMB approval to support the 

evaluation of technical assistance (TA) 

provided for the Overdose Data to 

Action (OD2A) program. OD2A is a 

cooperative agreement (CDC–RFA– 

CE19–1904) funded in 2019 to focus on 

comprehensive and interdisciplinary 

opioid overdose prevention efforts in 47 

state health departments, 16 localities, 

Puerto Rico, Washington DC, and the 

North Mariana Islands. This program 

consists of two required components— 

a surveillance component and a 

prevention component. OD2A recipients 

implement a combination of activities 

across 10 strategies within these 

components in order to gain access to 

high quality, complete, and timelier 

data on opioid prescribing and 

overdoses and to use those data to 

inform prevention and response efforts 

in their jurisdictions. 

Training and technical assistance 

(TA) is essential to building knowledge 

and strengthening the capacity of 

recipients to implement and evaluate 

OD2A program strategies. CDC will 

develop and deploy a TA hub (hereafter 

referred to as the OD2A TA Center) to 

deliver comprehensive technical 

assistance and training to support the 

successful implementation and
