Proposed Project

    CDC American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) 
Performance Progress Report--New--Office of the Chief Operating Officer 
(OCOO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed into 
law on February 17, 2009, Public Law 111-5 (``Recovery Act''). The 
purpose of this proposed data collection is to collect quarterly 
performance information for all CDC grants and cooperative agreements 
funded under the Recovery Act. This will allow CDC to receive reports 
on recipient performance measures as set forth in the applicable 
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) and Notice of Grant Award. This 
requirement is in addition to the reporting requirements of Section 
1512 of the Recovery Act, set forth by the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) under the data collection instrument titled ``Standard 
Data Elements for Reports under Section 1512 of the American Recovery 
and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5 (Grants, Cooperative 
Agreements and Loans).''
    The form CDC proposes to use is a modified Performance Progress 
Report (SF-PPR) which was successfully piloted by the Administration 
for Children and Families (ACF). CDC intends to use this modified form 
for quarterly standard reporting of performance measures set forth in 
the applicable FOA and Notice of Grant Award for all CDC Recovery Act 
funded grants and cooperative agreements. In addition to allowing for 
uniformity of information collection, this format will support 
systematic electronic collection and submission of information. The 
form contains identifying data elements and a section for a performance 
narrative.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
