[60Day-24-1365; Docket No. CDC-2024-0069]


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 and/or 
continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed 
information collection project titled Program Evaluation of CDC's Core 
State Injury Prevention Program. This project allows CDC to collect 
information from awardees funded under the Core State Injury Prevention 
Program.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before November 19, 
2024.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2024-
0069 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the 
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan 
and instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection 
Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton 
Road NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329; Telephone: 404-639-7570; 
Email: [email protected].

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

    Program Evaluation of CDC's Core State Injury Prevention Program 
(OMB Control No. 0920-1365, Exp. 7/31/2025)--Revision--National Center 
for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC is submitting a Revision request for the currently approved 
Program Evaluation of CDC's Core State Injury Prevention Program (OMB 
Control No. 0920-1365, Expiration Date 7/31/2025). Approval is 
requested for an additional three years to continue collecting 
information from awardees funded under the Core State Injury Prevention 
Program cooperative agreement (CE21-2101), hereafter known as Core 
SIPP.
    CDC requests to continue collecting several types of information 
from recipients over the course of the funding cycle. The Core SIPP 
Program added three new recipients to the program and is requesting a 
revision to allow for data collection of these three new recipients. 
This Revision is requested to incorporate data collection and analysis 
of three new funded recipients who were added. Data collected up until 
this point has been used to inform technical assistance (TA) to 
recipients and programmatic decision-making. CDC has used this data to 
develop reports to show program impact on recipient capacity, public 
health actions, and continuous quality improvement. This information 
will continue to 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 TA needs of individual recipients and the 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.
    Information is collected by CDC through the following modes to 
address the purposes identified above:
    (1) The Core SIPP Implementation Capacity Development Rubric was 
implemented once at the start of program funding (baseline collection), 
and subsequently during the middle of each reporting year. Recipients 
self-administer the rubric via CDC's Partner Portal, where they self-
score their state injury prevention programs according to their current 
level of capacity for components of interest. These scores are used to 
identify recipient strengths, areas for improvement, and additional 
needs for CDC TA support. Measuring recipient improvements in 
implementing public health actions in this standard way greatly 
increases the ability for CDC to measure the impact of the program 
investment. CDC aggregates these scores across recipients to identify 
larger program needs and to inform internal Continuous Quality 
Improvement (CQI) activities. This information is shared back with 
recipients individually during annual technical review calls, as well 
as in aggregate at annual partnership meetings. Additionally, increased 
capacity will increase the likelihood of sustainability beyond the 
funding cycle.
    (2) Recipient-level Group Interviews will take place at the end of 
Program Years 3, 4, and 5. The purpose of these interviews is to 
evaluate progress and challenges in implementing the Core SIPP program 
within the individual recipient-level context to inform tailored 
supports from CDC and partners. The tailored support is an effort to 
facilitate solutions to programmatic barriers, adjust recipient 
strategies as needed, and ensure the quality of data reported annually 
to CDC.
    (3) Economic Indicators are collected to better understand the cost 
of IVP implementation by strategy as well as how recipients have 
leveraged funds and resources to increased sustainability for injury 
and violence prevention work.
    (4) Injury Indicator Spreadsheets and Special Emphasis Reports are 
collected annually to track state level injury and violence morbidity 
and mortality data. This allows CDC to measure trends over time within 
a state, across states, and against the national average to identify 
changes during the Core SIPP funding period. Completion of the 
spreadsheets and reports ensures recipient surveillance capacity and 
reporting is in alignment with best practices.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 764 annual burden hours. 
There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
