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.

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.
