Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or 
continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed 
information collection entitled ``Grants for Injury Control Research 
Centers Annual Progress Report (APR).'' CDC will collect information 
from grantees funded under Grants for Injury Control and Research 
Centers (ICRC) for the Annual Progress Report (APR). The APR is used to

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 OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    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; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

Proposed Project

    Grants for Injury Control Research Centers Annual Progress Report 
(APR)--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    OMB approval is requested for three years for this new information 
collection project. CDC will collect information from grantees funded 
under Grants for Injury Control and Research Centers (ICRC) for the 
Annual Progress Report (APR). The CDC and the National Center for 
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) began funding the ICRCs 
throughout the United States in 1987 to study ways to prevent injuries 
and violence and to work with community partners to put research 
findings into action.
    There are currently ten CDC-funded ICRCs, which are typically 
funded in five-year funding cycles. ICRCs endeavor to prevent injuries 
and violence while working to strengthen the injury and violence 
prevention infrastructure by catalyzing and integrating resources at 
the local, state and national levels. This collaborative approach is a 
vital component in the success of ICRCs's efforts to make an impact on 
population-level reduction in injury-related harm that is critical to 
HHS objectives.
    Grantees will monitor and report progress on a set of performance 
indicators, their activities, and progress towards stated grant 
objectives. The reporting templates will capture this information 
through the use of performance indicators (indicators that signify 
progress towards a goal) and outcomes of project activities and tasks. 
In addition, each grantee will complete a personnel and publication 
data collection form. Information will be transmitted to CDC 
electronically and via hard copy by email and postal mail respectively.
    Data collection will include 100% of population, no sampling. The 
data will be analyzed using descriptive and summary statistics, 
qualitative summary. The only cost to respondents will be time spent 
responding to the survey.
