Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
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 proposed information 
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This 
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project 
titled National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion: Work Plans, Progress Monitoring, and Evaluation Reporting 
(NCCDPHP WPPMER). The NCCDPHP WWPMER ICR is intended to be a Generic 
collection mechanism for cooperative agreement awardee work plans, 
evaluation plans, progress reports and evaluation reports, and will 
enable the accurate, reliable, uniform and timely submission to NCCDPHP 
of each awardee's work plans, progress reports, and evaluation reports, 
including strategies and activities, evaluation plans, progress and 
performance measures, and outcomes and success stories.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before January 30, 2024.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2023-
0095 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

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

    National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion: Work Plans, Progress Monitoring, and Evaluation Reporting 
(NCCDPHP WPPMER)--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Each year, more than 80% of the budget for the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Center for Chronic 
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) is distributed to 
awardees such as state health departments, universities, and other 
organizations, primarily through cooperative agreements. The structure 
of cooperative agreements is such that awardees and CDC project 
officers, subject matter experts, and technical monitors work together 
on designing projects intended to improve public health.
    Currently there is no single information collection mechanism that 
encompasses all collection needs for cooperative agreements. NCCDPHP 
seeks OMB approval to use Generic Information Collection Request (ICR) 
templates to collect work plan, monitoring, and/or evaluation 
information from cooperative agreement awardees. The proposed Generic 
ICR will allow the creation of individualized templates or forms for 
each phase of each award.

    OMB approval is requested for three years. CDC requests OMB 
approval for an estimated 21,380 annualized burden hours. There is no 
cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
