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

    Evaluation of Dating Matters[supreg]: Strategies to Promote Healthy 
Teen Relationships (OMB Control Number 0920-0941, expiration date 5/30/
2016)--Revision--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) is seeking a 
revision request that will enable continued longitudinal follow-up for 
CDC's teen dating violence (TDV) prevention initiative, Dating 
Matters[supreg]: Strategies to Promote Healthy Teen Relationships. The 
initial evaluation of this initiative, a cluster randomized controlled 
trial (RCT), is covered under the current OMB-approved Information 
Collection Request entitled, ``Evaluation of Dating Matters[supreg]: 
Strategies to Promote Healthy Teen Relationships,'' (OMB Control Number 
0920-0941, Expiration 5/30/2016). Approval of this revision request 
will allow us to continue to assess the effectiveness of the CDC-
developed comprehensive approach to TDV for longer-term follow-up as 
the students in our sample age and their engagement in dating 
relationships increases. The current evaluation of Dating 
Matters[supreg] tests a comprehensive approach to prevent TDV among 
youth in high-risk urban communities.
    In order to address gaps in effective prevention programming for 
youth in urban communities with high crime and economic disadvantage, 
who may be at highest risk for TDV perpetration and victimization, 
Dating Matters[supreg] focuses on middle school youth with universal 
primary prevention strategies aimed at building a foundation of healthy 
relationship skills before dating and/or TDV is initiated. All data 
collected as part of this request will be used in the longitudinal 
outcome evaluation of the Dating Matters[supreg] initiative. No teen 
dating violence comprehensive program has been developed and 
implemented specifically for high risk urban communities. Further, no 
other data source exists to examine the effectiveness of the Dating 
Matters[supreg] initiative for preventing dating violence.
    The evaluation utilizes a cluster randomized design in which 46 
schools in four funded communities (Alameda County, California; 
Baltimore, Maryland; Broward County, Florida; and, Chicago, Illinois), 
were randomized to either Dating Matters[supreg] or standard practice, 
and we seek to continue evaluation activities in these four 
communities. Therefore, this data collection is critical to understand 
the effectiveness, feasibility, and cost of Dating Matters[supreg] and 
to inform decisions about disseminating the program to other 
communities.
    OMB approval is requested for three years for this revision. The 
only cost to respondents will be time spent on responding to the 
survey.
