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 OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

Proposed Project

    Performance Measurement and Program Evaluation of the Autism and 
Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network (ADDM)--New--National 
Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a new Information 
Collection Request.

Background and Brief Description

    In January 2015, CDC launched a new phase of funding for its autism 
spectrum disorder (ASD) surveillance program through a new cooperative 
agreement: ``Enhancing Public Health Surveillance of Autism Spectrum 
Disorder and Other Developmental Disabilities through the Autism and 
Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network'' under the 
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DD15-1501. Through this 
cooperative agreement, funding is provided to enhance tracking at eight 
existing sites and to launch two new sites. Awards were made to state/
local health departments and/or their designated representatives, 
including Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Johns 
Hopkins University, Rutgers University, University of Arizona, 
University of

[[Page 22196]]

Arkansas for Medical Sciences, University of North Carolina at Chapel 
Hill, University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 
Vanderbilt University, and Washington University in St. Louis. Four 
sites received funding to carry out Component A, which focuses on 
surveillance of ASD and either cerebral palsy or intellectual 
disability among 8-year-olds. Six sites received funding to carry out 
both Component A as well as Component B, which focuses on surveillance 
of ASD among 4-year-olds. In addition to the sites funded under the 
cooperative agreement, CDC also administers a site in Atlanta, Georgia, 
commonly known as the Metropolitan Atlanta Developmental Disabilities 
Surveillance Program (MADDSP).
    CDC requests OMB approval to collect performance monitoring and 
program evaluation information from all sites participating in the 
Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network (including the 
site administered by CDC). Over the course of the four-year funding 
cycle, each site will submit a Checklist, Worksheets, and Performance 
Measures every six month and two-year intervals. The Checklist, 
Worksheets, and Performance Measures will be submitted to CDC by 
completing a Microsoft Excel-based data collection tool and uploading 
the information to a secure, password-protected FTP site. By developing 
a user-friendly data collection tool in Microsoft Excel, CDC 
anticipates that the reporting and tracking burden for awardees will be 
reduced due to: (1) awardees' familiarity with the software, which 
reduces training burden; and (2) the compatibility of the templates 
with other record keeping processes that are already in place for many 
awardees. CDC staff and contractors will be responsible for converting 
each awardee's submissions into a secure Microsoft Access-based system 
for reporting and analysis. CDC anticipates that respondent burden will 
be slightly higher at the initial six-month submission and will also be 
slightly higher for sites completing Component A&B compared to just 
Component A.
    The information to be collected will help CDC and awardees assure 
compliance with cooperative agreement requirements, support program 
evaluation efforts, and obtain information needed to respond to 
inquiries about program activities and program impact from Congress and 
other stakeholders.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is 
required as a condition of cooperative agreement funding. There are no 
costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated burden 
hours are 125.
