Proposed Project

    Performance Measures of the Cooperative Agreement Readiness 
Assessment Tool (CARAT) for the CDC Division of State and Local 
Readiness (DSLR)--New--Coordinating Office of Terrorism Preparedness 
and Emergency Response (COTPER), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The CARAT is a program performance monitoring tool developed by 
DSLR's Outcome Monitoring and Evaluation Branch in cooperation with CDC 
subject matter experts and external partners. The nomenclature to 
differentiate CARAT's data collection (reporting) periods is: CARAT-
Annual, CARAT-Semi-annual, and CARAT-Quarterly. CARAT-Semi-annual and 
CARAT-Quarterly are independent subsets of CARAT-Annual reports. 
Specifically, the data collected will be used to monitor grantees' 
performance as it relates to the goals and intent of the cooperative 
agreement, and to determine the technical assistance that may be 
needed, specific to each grantee. Additionally, the data will be used 
to report the program's readiness status as well as prepare individual 
and aggregate readiness reports for: Congress, State departments, 
Federal agencies and officials as necessary.
    Cooperative agreement recipients will report their data to the 
Division of State and Local Readiness in the Center for Terrorism 
Preparedness and Emergency Response at CDC through the State and Local 
Preparedness Program Management Information System (SLPPMIS). This 
system uses a secure web browser-based technology for data entry and 
data management. The data will be collected and entered by 
administrative/management personnel from each cooperative agreement 
recipient. The table below shows the estimated annual burden in hours 
to collect and report data. There is no cost to the respondents other 
than their time.
