Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice with comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part 
of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the 
utility of government information, invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed and/or 
continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed 
information collection project titled `Templates for Extramural Data 
Management Plans.' The aim of this collection is to provide Cooperative 
Agreement applicants and awardees with templates for the creation of 
Data Management Plans (DMP).

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before October 7, 2019.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2019-
0062 by any of the following methods: Federal eRulemaking Portal: 
Regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
     Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review 
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road 
NE, MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments 
to Regulations.gov.
    Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking 
portal (regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the address listed above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the 
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan 
and instruments, contact Jeffrey Zirger, Information Collection Review

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 the 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;

[[Page 38988]]

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

Proposed Project

    Templates for Extramural Data Management Plans--New--National 
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Data management plans (DMPs) are required of entities using CDC 
funds to collect or generate public health data. DMPs will be submitted 
to CDC by grant and cooperative agreement awardees for assessment to 
verify that they are concordant with CDC's data sharing policy. 
Currently, CDC does not have a standard template for a DMP. DMPs can be 
a checklist, paragraph, or any other format. Due to this fact, CDC has 
had to refer extramural applicants and recipients to external websites 
for examples on how to construct a DMP. This new ICR is being developed 
by CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion (NCCDPHP) to create standardized templates for DMPs so that 
they will be easier to create, easier to review, better ensure 
compliance with CDC's requirements, and increase the likelihood of 
first time approval by project officers. DMPs will be submitted as 
standalone sections of the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) and 
annual continuation applications; revisions can also be submitted by 
the awardees as needed. CDC requests approval for 933 Burden Hours. 
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
