collection request titled ``Annual Reporting of the Rape Prevention and 
Education (RPE) Program: CE19-1902 Cooperative Agreement'' 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 June 5, 2019 to obtain comments 
from the public and affected agencies. One public comment public 
comment was received. 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

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

    CDC's Division of Violence Prevention (DVP) provides national 
leadership in prevention of sexual violence (SV) perpetration and 
victimization before it begins (i.e., primary prevention). DVP 
administers 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. The CDC seeks OMB approval for three years to collect 
information related to implementation and outcomes annually from 
recipients funded under the Rape Prevention and Education (RPE): Using 
The Best Available Evidence for Sexual Violence Prevention cooperative 
agreement.
    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.
    Information to be collected will provide crucial data for program 
performance monitoring. Information collected will allow CDC to help 
ensure consistency in documenting, 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, improve 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.
    Submission of the Annual Progress Report is required for 
cooperative agreement grantees. The total estimated annualized burden 
hours are 440. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
