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 ``Program Evaluation of CDC's Core State 
Injury Prevention Program'' 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 10, 2021 to obtain comments from the public and affected 
agencies. CDC received three anonymous 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. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this information 
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for 
Public Comments'' or by using the search function. 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

    Program Evaluation of CDC's Core State Injury Prevention Program--
New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Comtrol (NCIPC), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    NCIPC is requesting approval to collect information from awardees 
funded under the Core State Injury Prevention Program cooperative 
agreement, hereafter known as Core SIPP. This program is a new 
initiative. As part of the annual program evaluation data collection, 
recipients will submit data on enhancements in

[[Page 60043]]

program implementation capacity, leveraged resources/funds through 
economic indicators, and challenges and successes, programmatic 
improvements, and impact through interviews. Finally, awardees will 
annually submit injury and violence prevention surveillance data using 
Excel-based Injury Indicator Spreadsheets and Special Emphasis Reports.
    Information to be collected will provide crucial data for program 
evaluation and provide CDC with the ability to respond in a timely 
manner to requests for information about the program from the 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the White House, 
Congress, and others. Data from the collection will also be used by CDC 
to increase capacity, understand how the cooperative agreement 
increases potential sustainability though improved capacity, provide 
data-driven technical assistance, and disseminate the most current 
surveillance data on unintentional and intentional injuries.
    Authority for CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and 
Control (NCIPC) to collect these data is granted by Section 301 of the 
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241). This Act gives federal 
health agencies, such as CDC, broad authority to collect data and to 
participate in other public health activities, including program 
implementation evaluation. The Core SIPP evaluation will collect 
several types of information from recipients over the course of the 
funding cycle. This information will be used to:
    (1) Evaluate and track outcomes at the recipient- and program-
levels as they relate to injury prevention-focused infrastructure 
development, surveillance system development and use, and partnerships, 
to prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Traumatic Brain Injury 
(TBI), and transportation-related injuries. Recipient-and program-level 
identification of disproportionately affected populations and 
subsequent public health actions taken to address injury-related health 
disparities will also be assessed.
    (2) Identify technical assistance needs of individual recipients 
and this recipient cohort, so that the CDC team can appropriately 
deploy resources to support recipients.
    (3) Identify practice-based evidence for injury prevention public 
health actions to advance the field through future partnerships, 
program design, and publications.
    (4) Inform continuous quality improvement activities over the 
course of the funding period, to include quarterly and annual strategic 
planning for current and later iterations of this program under future 
funding.
    CDC requests approval for 679 total estimated annualized burden 
hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
