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

    Monitoring and Reporting for the Core State Violence and Injury 
Prevention (Core SVIPP) Program Cooperative Enhanced Component--
Regional Network Coordinating Organization (RNCO)--New--National Center 
for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC intends to request a three-year OMB approval for this new 
collection. CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control 
(NCIPC) is committed to working with its partners to promote action 
that reduces injuries, violence, and disabilities, by providing 
leadership in identifying priorities, promoting prevention strategies, 
developing useful tools, and monitoring the effectiveness of Injury and 
Violence Prevention (IVP) program activities.
    Unintentional and violence-related injuries and their consequences 
are the

[[Page 24976]]

leading causes of death for the first four decades of life, regardless 
of gender, race, or socioeconomic status. More than 192,000 individuals 
in the United States die each year as a result of unintentional 
injuries and violence, and more than 31 million others suffer non-fatal 
injuries requiring emergency department visits each year.
    This collection is to collect information needed for programmatic 
activities of the Regional Network Coordinating Organization (RNCO) 
enhanced component funded under the Core State Violence and Injury 
Prevention Program (Core SVIPP) cooperative agreement (CDC-RFA-CE16-
1602) Member entities (state health departments at their partners) of 
the RNCO awardees will respond to a membership survey annually. Member 
entities of the RNCO awardees will also participate in annual focus 
groups to inform and contribute to National Peer Learning Teams (NPLT). 
No research design or human subjects are involved.
    The data will be analyzed using descriptive and summary statistics 
as well as qualitative summaries. Information to be collected will 
provide crucial data for program planning and continuous quality 
improvement of program. The data will also provide CDC with the 
capacity to respond in a timely manner to requests for information 
about the program from the Department of Health and Human Services 
(HHS), the White House, Congress, and other sources. The only cost to 
respondents will be time spent responding to the survey.
