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 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 contract and cooperative agreement applicants 
and awardees with templates for the creation of data management plans 
(DMPs).

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before January 3, 2023.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2022-
0126 by either of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.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 H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments 
to www.regulations.gov. Please note: Submit all comments through the 
Federal eRulemaking portal (www.regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the 
address listed above.

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;
    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;
    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; and
    5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project

    Templates for Extramural Data Management Plans (OMB Control No. 
0920-1301, Exp. 6/30/2023)--Extension--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. CDC 
contractors collecting public health data are also required to create 
and submit DMPs. This information collection request was 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 able to ensure 
compliance with CDC's requirements, and able to increase the likelihood 
of first draft approval by project officers. The project was initially 
approved from June 2019 through June 2023. CDC will request an 
Extension for approval for another three years. Minor updates will be 
made to the templates for this extension period to better serve awardee 
and CDC needs.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,240 annual burden 
hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to 
participate.
