ACTION: Notice with comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part 
of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the 
utility of government information, invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed and/or 
continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed 
information collection project titled ``DELTA Impact Recipient 
Monitoring and Assessment Tools.'' Information collected will be used 
for implementation and performance monitoring of cooperative agreement 
CDC-RFA-CE18-1801: Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and 
Leadership through Alliances (DELTA) Impact.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before March 20, 2018.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2018-
0012 by any of the following methods:

[[Page 2783]]

     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov. Follow the

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 Recipient Monitoring and Assessment Tools--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 a three-
year OMB approval for a new information collection project that 
involves 10 recipients (State Domestic Violence Coalitions) funded 
through CDC's Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancements and Leadership 
Through Alliances (DELTA) Impact Program cooperative agreement (NOFO 
CDC-RFA-CE18-1801). DELTA Impact recipients will report activity 
information to CDC annually. The Annual Progress Report (APR) tool and 
Prevention Infrastructure Assessment are designed to address four key 
program evaluation questions as well as performance reporting 
requirements established by CDC's Office of Financial Resources (OFR, 
formerly the Procurement and Grants Office).
    Monitoring allows CDC to determine whether a recipient is meeting 
performance and budget goals and to make adjustments in the type and 
level of technical assistance provided to them, as needed, to support 
attainment of their performance measures. Program monitoring and 
program evaluation activities also allow CDC to identify and 
disseminate information about successful prevention strategies 
implemented by recipients.
    These functions are central to the NCIPC's broad mission of 
protecting Americans from violence and injury threats. This information 
collection will enable the accurate, reliable, uniform, and timely 
submission to CDC of each recipient's work plan and progress reports, 
including strategy implementation, program evaluation and performance 
measures. It will also enable CDC to evaluate the program across all 
funded recipients.
    CDC will use the information collected to look at the aggregate 
impact of program activities on program outcomes across all 10 
recipients. The information collection will allow CDC to monitor the 
increased emphasis on strategies that affect health outcomes and 
impact, and is expected to reduce duplication of effort, enhance 
program impact and maximize the use of federal funds. CDC will be able 
to generate reports that summarize their activities and progress 
towards meeting work plan strategies and performance measure targets. 
In addition to CDC's tracking of program goals and outcomes, the data 
collected will provide a way for recipients to track their own 
activities and funding to local organizations as required by 
legislation. CDC will also have the capacity to generate reports that 
describe activities across multiple recipients and will be able to 
provide this information back to recipients or to respond to inquiries 
from HHS, the White House, Congress and other stakeholders about the 
national DELTA Impact Program activities and their impact.
    The total estimated annualized time burden for this collection is 
123 hours. The only cost to respondents will be time spent responding 
to the surveys.
