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; and

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.

5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project

Delta impact Cooperative Agreement Evaluation Data Collection Instruments—New—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks OMB approval for three years for a new information collection request to collect information from all 10 recipients (State Domestic Violence Coalitions) and all 17 subrecipients (Coordinated Community Response teams) funded through CDC's Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancements and Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA) Impact Program cooperative agreement (NOFO CDC-RFA-CE18-1801). CDC will collect information from DELTA Impact recipients as part of its program evaluation to assess the implementation and impact of the NOFO and further understand the facilitators, barriers, and critical factors to implement specific violence prevention strategies and conduct program evaluation activities.

The findings from this data collection will be used for implementing and evaluating DELTA Impact prevention efforts, and will inform technical assistance provided to recipients to assist them in achieving the goals of the DELTA Impact program. This data collection will supplement other data to highlight recipient and subrecipients' experiences implementing their primary prevention efforts to prevent intimate partner violence and their related program evaluation activities. CDC requests approval for 47 burden hours annually. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
