SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part 
of its continuing efforts to reduce public burden and maximize the 
utility of government information, invites the general public and other 
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 ``Annual Reporting of the Rape 
Prevention and Education (RPE) Program: CE19-1902 Cooperative 
Agreement.'' Information will be collected annually from RPE recipients 
and will provide crucial data for performance monitoring and program 
evaluation of the implementation of prevention strategies and 
approaches, outcomes, and budget of the cooperative agreement.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before August 5, 2019.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2019-

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.
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
    1. 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;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    4. 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,

[[Page 26117]]

e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.
    5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project

    Annual Reporting of the Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) 
Program: CE19-1902 Cooperative Agreement--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 collection. 
The RPE Program, which provides funding to health departments in all 50 
states, the District of Columbia (DC), Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. 
Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands. This 
ICR will collect information related to implementation and outcomes 
annually from recipients of the new funding opportunity CDC-RFA-CE19-
1902: Rape Prevention and Education (RPE): Using The Best Available 
Evidence for Sexual Violence Prevention cooperative agreement. This new 
RPE funding opportunity differs greatly from previous funding 
opportunities provided by CDC through the RPE Program. Specifically, 
program activities differ from the previous funding cycles, and the 
program will be collecting information for the first time on recipient 
outcomes.
    RPE Program recipients or designated delegates will submit data 
annually into the online data system, DVP Partners Portal. Recipients 
will monitor and report progress on their goals, objectives, and 
activities, as well as relevant information on the implementation of 
their prevention strategies, outcomes, evaluation, and state action 
plan.
    Collecting information about the implementation and outcomes of 
CE19-1902 cooperative agreement through the online data system, DVP 
Partners Portal, is crucial to informing Sexual Violence prevention 
nationally; enhancing accountability of the use of federal funds; 
providing timely program reports and responses to information requests, 
such as Congressional requests mandated by the authorizing legislation; 
improving real-time communications between CDC and RPE recipients; and 
strengthening CDC's capacity to provide responsive data-driven 
technical assistance and to monitor and evaluate recipients' progress 
and performance. The only cost to respondents will be time spent 
responding to the survey/screener. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours is 440.
