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 ``Reporting of the Rape Prevention and 
Education Program (RPE)'' 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 
March, 1 2022 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. 
CDC received one non-substantive comment 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,

[[Page 66190]]

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 particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct

Proposed Project

    Annual Reporting of the Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) Program 
(OMB Control No. 0920-1286, Exp. 3/31/2023)--Revision--National Center 
for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC)

Background and Brief Description

    This is a Revision request for the currently approved ``Annual 
Reporting of the Rape prevention and Education (RPE) Program'' (OMB 
Control No. 0920-1286, Exp. 03/31/2023). This Revision is being 
requested to continue to collect information related to implementation 
and outcomes annually from 53 recipients or their designated delegates 
funded through the funding opportunity, CE19-1902. Sexual violence (SV) 
is a major public health problem: one in three women and one in four 
men experienced sexual violence involving physical contact during their 
lifetimes. Nearly one in five women and one in 38 men have experienced 
completed or attempted rape. Sexual violence starts early: one in three 
female and one in four male rape victims experienced it for the first 
time between 11-17 years old. CDC's Division of Violence Prevention 
(DVP) provides national leadership in prevention 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 RPE Program is the principal federally funded program focused 
on SV primary prevention. Collecting information about the 
implementation and outcomes of CE19-1902 cooperative agreement through 
the online data system, DVP Partners Portal, is crucial to informing SV 
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.
    Information will be collected annually from recipients through the 
online data system, DVP Partners Portal. The DVP Partners Portal is 
organized by forms, which are further organized by sections and sub-
sections. Recipients and program staff will be able to review 
information reported in previous years within the DVP Partners Portal 
per their authenticated access to the Portal. In addition, information 
from previous reports will be carried over and pre-populated for the 
next annual reporting as appropriate. Thus, with DVP Partners Portal 
most of the burden is required during the initial population of 
information (Year 1), Recipients will only need to enter changes, 
provide progress information, and add new information after Year 1.
    CDC will use the information to be collected to do the following:
     Enhance accountability of the use of federal funds;
     Provide timely program reports and responses to 
information request;
     Improve real-time communications between CDC and 
recipients;
     Strengthen CDC's capacity to provide responsive and data-
driven TA;
     Strengthen CDC's capacity to monitor and evaluate 
recipients' progress and performance towards activities required as 
part of the cooperative agreement;
     Allow both CDC and recipients to track their own state 
activities and outcomes, and ensure alignment between their state and 
local activities;
     Generate a variety of routine and customizable reports 
specifically for each recipient and in aggregate nationally for CDC 
stakeholders;
    CDC requests approval for an estimated 424 annual burden hours. CDC 
is requesting a one-year approval. There is no cost to respondents 
other than their time to participate.
