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

    The School-Associated Violent Death Surveillance System (SAVD)--
Revision (OMB# 0920-0604, expiration 04/30/2016)--National Center for 
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    School-associated violence, particularly homicides and suicides 
that occur in schools, has been a significant public concern for 
several years. Despite the important role of schools as a setting for 
violence research and prevention interventions, relatively little 
scientific or systematic work has been conducted to describe the nature 
and level of fatal violence associated with schools. Public health and 
education officials have had to rely on limited local studies and 
estimated numbers to describe the extent of school-associated violent 
death. As a result, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) requested 
assistance from the Division of Violence

[[Page 51273]]

Prevention (DVP)/NCIPC in establishing an ongoing SAVD in the United 
States with the goal of tracking and monitoring the extent of this 
problem on an ongoing basis. The SAVD surveillance system remains the 
only systematic effort to document school-associated violent deaths on 
a national basis. Data from the SAVD surveillance system are intended 
to contribute to the understanding of fatal violence associated with 
schools, guide further research in the area, and help direct ongoing 
and future prevention programs.
    The data collection methodology involves investigators reviewing 
public records and published press reports concerning each SAVD. For 
each identified case, investigators will interview an investigating law 
enforcement official and a school official who are knowledgeable about 
the case in question. Researchers will request information on both the 
victim and alleged offender(s)--including demographic data, their 
academic and criminal records, and their relationship to one another. 
They will also collect data on the time and location of the death; the 
circumstances, motive, and method of the fatal injury; and the security 
and violence prevention activities in the school and community where 
the death occurred, before and after the fatal injury event. 
Additionally, CDC will obtain law enforcement reports on each case.
    The study population will include the victims and offenders from 
all identified events in which there was a school-associated violent 
death in the U.S.
    The surveillance system will continue to contribute to the 
understanding of fatal violence associated with schools, guide further 
research in the area, and help direct ongoing and future prevention 
programs. Data collected through the surveillance system will be 
reviewed and used by CDC, the DOE, the US Department of Justice, and 
other outside agencies and organizations.
    OMB approval is requested for three years for a revision of the 
currently approved information collection. The only cost to respondents 
will be time spent on the telephone responding to the survey.
