Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled Delta Impact Recipient Monitoring and 
Assessment Tools to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review and approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data 
Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on 
January 19, 2018 to obtain comments from the public and affected 
agencies. CDC received two anonymous non-substantive public comments 
related to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an 
additional 30 days for public and affected agency comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (a) 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;
    (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    (d) 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 submission of responses; and
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Direct written comments 
and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice to the 
Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th 
Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide 
written comments within 30 days of notice publication.

Proposed Project

    DELTA Impact Recipient Monitoring and Assessment Tools--New--
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Violence is a serious, yet preventable, public health problem. 
Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects millions of women, men, and 
children. In the United States, one in four women and one in nine men 
experience contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking 
by an intimate partner with a negative impact such as injury, fear, 
concern for safety, or needing services. The Centers for Disease 
Control and

[[Page 50934]]

Prevention's (CDC) National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey 
(NISVS) data showed many victims of IPV began experiencing these forms 
of violence prior to adulthood.
    Authorized by the Family Violence and Prevention Services Act 
(FVPSA) statute (42 U.S.C. 10414), CDC has funded the Domestic Violence 
Prevention Enhancements and Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA) 
Program since 2002. The DELTA program funds State Domestic Violence 
Coalitions to implement statewide IPV prevention efforts, while also 
providing assistance and funding for local communities to implement IPV 
prevention activities. The DELTA Impact cooperative agreement advances 
IPV prevention activities through these components: 1. Implementation 
and program evaluation of state and local level IPV prevention 
strategies targeting community or societal level change using a public 
health approach and effective prevention principles. 2. Development or 
enhancement of a State Action Plan (SAP) to increase the use of data 
for planning and the prioritization of primary prevention of IPV based 
on any existing health inequities within their jurisdictions. 3. 
Provision of training and technical assistance (TA) to DELTA Impact 
organizations on the implementation of IPV prevention strategies.
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks OMB 
approval to collect annual progress report (APR) information from the 
currently grantees funded under Domestic Violence Prevention 
Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA) Impact. Recipients 
will report relevant information on the implementation of their 
prevention strategies, implementation of statewide planning, as well as 
the extent to which they implement and evaluate multiple specific 
prevention programs. These data will be submitted through an electronic 
reporting system at the time of their annual non-competing continuation 
application. The report has been designed in a way that collects 
consistent information across recipients while allowing the flexibility 
to account for varying prevention strategies.
    Information to be collected will provide crucial data for program 
performance monitoring, will allow CDC to analyze and synthesize 
information from grantees, help ensure consistency in documenting 
progress and technical assistance, enhance accountability of the use of 
federal funds, and provide timely reports as frequently requested by 
HHS, the White House, and Congress.
    Submission of the Annual Progress Report is required for 
cooperative agreement grantees. Over the three-year period of this 
information collection request, the annualized estimated burden for 10 
recipients is 117 with a total three-year burden of 350 hours. There is 
no cost to respondents other than their time.
