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

    DELTA FOCUS Program Evaluation--Reinstatement with change--National 
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a serious, preventable public 
health problem that affects millions of Americans and results in 
serious consequences for victims, families, and communities. IPV occurs 
between two people in a close relationship. The term ``intimate 
partner'' describes physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a 
current or former partner or spouse. IPV can impact health in many 
ways, including long-term health problems, emotional impacts, and links 
to negative health behaviors. IPV exists along a continuum from a 
single episode of violence to ongoing battering; many victims do not 
report IPV to police, friends, or family.
    The purpose of the DELTA FOCUS (Domestic Violence Prevention 
Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for 
Communities United with States) program is to promote the prevention of 
IPV through the implementation and evaluation of strategies that create 
a foundation for the development of practice-based evidence. By 
emphasizing primary prevention, this program will support comprehensive 
and coordinated approaches to IPV prevention. Each State Domestic 
Violence Coalition (SDVC) is required to identify and fund one to two 
well-organized, broad-based, active local coalitions (referred to as 
coordinated community responses or CCRs) that are already engaging in, 
or are at capacity to engage in, IPV primary prevention strategies 
affecting the structural determinants of health at the societal and/or 
community levels of the social ecological model. SDVCs must facilitate 
and support local-level implementation and hire empowerment evaluators 
to support the evaluation of IPV prevention strategies by the CCRs. 
SDVCs must also implement and with their empowerment evaluators, 
evaluate state-level IPV prevention strategies.
    CDC seeks a one-year OMB approval to collect information 
electronically from awardees, their CCRs and their empowerment 
evaluators. Information will be collected using the DELTA FOCUS Program 
Evaluation Survey (referred to as DF Survey). The DF

[[Page 11801]]

survey will collect information about SDVCs satisfaction with CDC 
efforts to support them; process, program and strategy implementation 
factors that affect their ability to meet the requirements of the 
Funding Opportunity Announcement; prevention knowledge and use of the 
public health approach; and sustainability of prevention activities and 
successes.
    Participation in the information collection is required as a 
condition of funding. There are no costs to respondents other than 
their time.
