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 Essentials for Childhood 
(EfC): Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences through Data to Action 
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 March 31, 
2023 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC 
received one 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, 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 
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)

publication.

Proposed Project

    Reporting of the Essentials for Childhood (EfC): Preventing Adverse 
Childhood Experiences through Data to Action Program--New--National 
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The purpose of the information collection effort is to collect 
Essentials for Childhood (EfC) program recipient data related to 
surveillance, implementation, program evaluation, and performance 
monitoring. This data collection is necessary to ensure that programs 
are progressing toward achievement of their stated goals and 
objectives, as well as consistently demonstrating efficient and 
appropriate use of federal funds. CDC will use the information 
collected to further understand the facilitators, barriers, and 
critical factors to implementing specific violence prevention 
strategies and conducting related program evaluation activities. Data 
collected will also be used to inform CDC's training and technical 
assistance, program improvement, and the development of future funding 
opportunities.
    Data collection is designed to address the following key program 
evaluation questions:
     To what extent have recipients accomplished the short-term 
and intermediate-term outcomes outlined in the Logic Model?
     To what extent do recipients effectively implement Adverse 
Childhood Experience (ACE) prevention strategies during the period of 
performance?
     To what extent have recipients leveraged multi-sector 
partnerships and resources among state agencies (additional funding at 
the local level) and other sectors to prevent ACEs, including forming 
sustainable systems and partnerships, and realigning/focusing/
mobilizing resources to prevent ACEs?
     In what ways has the recipient built or enhanced their 
state-level surveillance system to monitor ACEs, PCEs, and social 
determinants of health?
     How has the recipient integrated and addressed racial and 
health inequities and social determinants of health in preventing ACEs?
     To what extent have recipients enhanced their statewide 
action plan to implement complementary ACEs prevention strategies 
(additional funding for implementation at the local level)?
     To what extent have funded recipients enhanced their 
ability to use ACEs and PCEs surveillance and evaluation data to inform 
prevention strategy allocation?
     To what extent have recipients enhanced their ability to 
disseminate and use data to inform partner, policy, or other action?
     To what extent have recipients seen a sustainable increase 
in capacity and activities related to routine monitoring of ACEs and 
PCEs data among youth?
     To what extent have recipients seen a sustainable increase 
in capacity and activities related to routine monitoring of near real-
time surveillance to monitor indicators of ACEs?
     To what extent have recipients demonstrated ability to 
link ACEs and PCEs data to those on the social determinants of health, 
and utilize these data to inform prevention strategies (if applicable)?
     What is the reach/exposure to the ACEs prevention program 
efforts?
     Are ACEs prevention strategies reaching populations at 
highest risk for ACEs?
     To what extent have recipients demonstrated use of 
surveillance and evaluation data to inform prevention strategy 
allocation and implementation to improve health equity?
     What has been the reach/exposure of ACEs and PCEs data 
dissemination efforts?
    Information will be collected annually from recipients through the 
DVP Partners Portal, a web-based data collection system. The DVP 
Partners Portal allows recipients to fulfill their annual reporting 
obligations efficiently by employing user-friendly, easily accessible 
web-based instruments to collect necessary information for both 
progress reports and continuation applications. Because information 
from previous reports will be carried over and pre-populated for the 
next annual reporting, recipients will only need to enter changes, 
provide progress updates, and add any new information after the first 
year of reporting, which will help to reduce recipient burden.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 168 annual burden hours. 
There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
