    In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on 
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. 
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a 
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call the CDC Reports 
Clearance Officer on (404) 639-7090.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways

    Proposed Project: Coordinated Community Response to Prevent 
Intimate Partner Violence--NEW--National Center for Injury Prevention 
and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    A random digit dial survey will be conducted with 12,000 male and 
female adults in the communities of ten experimental sites and ten 
control sites (600 per site). The survey will determine whether adding 
resources to a community to develop a coordinated community response to 
intimate partner violence (IPV), leads to increased knowledge about IPV 
such as where to go for help and how to assist a victim, child witness 
and/or perpetrator of IPV. A base survey instrument will be 
administered along with an addendum from the sites that wish to address 
other research needs in their experiment and control communities.
    While previous surveys such as the National Violence Against Women 
Survey (1996) have collected information on intimate partner violence, 
no previous survey has explored the effects of a coordinated community 
response, enhanced services, and public awareness campaigns between 
experimental and control sites.
    Interviews will be conducted with persons at residential phone 
numbers selected using random digit dialing. No more than one 
respondent per household will be selected, and each sample member will 
complete just one interview. Non-residential numbers are ineligible for 
the sample and will not be interviewed. Female interviewers will be 
used and bi-lingual Spanish interviewers will conduct interviews in 
Spanish to reduce language barriers to participation. There is no cost 
to respondents.
