serve as a guide, but do not standardize
the information to be collected. The
non-standardized approach to progress
reporting has resulted in CCC program
reports that vary in content and detail,
and cannot be readily compiled to
produce summary reports. OMB
approval has not previously been
obtained for the collection of this
information.
CDC seeks OMB approval to
implement a new database-driven
Management Information System (MIS)
for the collection of standardized
progress and performance information.
The MIS will achieve two objectives.
First, the MIS will provide an organized
source of information about the
activities and accomplishments of all
funded NCCCP programs. Secondly, the
electronic MIS will provide an efficient
mechanism for generating State,
regional, and national level summary
reports.
Information reported through the MIS
will be used by CDC to identify training
and technical assistance needs, monitor
compliance with cooperative agreement
requirements, evaluate progress made in
achieving program-specific goals, and
obtain information needed to respond to
Congressional and other inquiries
regarding program activities and
effectiveness.
OMB approval is requested for a
three-year period. Information will be
collected electronically twice per year.
The initial burden per response is
estimated to be six hours. After
respondents have become experienced
with entering data, and the amount of
new data to be entered decreases, the
burden per response is expected to
decrease. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 780. There
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.

Proposed Project
School Associated Violent Death
Surveillance System (0920–0604)—
Extension—National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description
The Division of Violence Prevention
(DVP), National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC)
proposes to maintain a system for the
surveillance of school-associated
homicides and suicides. The system
will rely on existing public records and
interviews with law enforcement
officials and school officials. The
purpose of the system is to (1) estimate
the rate of school-associated violent
death in the United States and (2)
identify common features of schoolassociated violent deaths. The system
will contribute to the understanding of
fatal violence associated with schools,
guide further research in the area, and
help direct ongoing and future
prevention programs.
Violence is the leading cause of death
among young people, and increasingly
recognized as an important public
health and social issue. In 2006, over
3,200 school aged children (5 to 18
years old) in the United States died
violent deaths due to suicide, homicide,
and unintentional firearm injuries. The
vast majority of these fatal injuries were
not school associated. However,
whenever a homicide or suicide occurs
in or around school, it becomes a matter
of particularly intense public interest
and concern. NCIPC conducted the first
scientific study of school-associated
violent deaths during the 1992–99
academic years to establish the true
extent of this highly visible problem.
Despite the important role of schools as
a setting for violence research and
prevention interventions, relatively
little scientific or systematic work has
PO 00000
Frm 00022

Sfmt 4703
been done to describe the nature and
level of fatal violence associated with
schools. Until NCIPC conducted the first
nationwide investigation of violent
deaths associated with schools, public
health and education officials had to
rely on limited local studies and
estimated numbers to describe the
extent of school-associated violent
death.
The system will draw cases from the
entire United States in attempting to
capture all cases of school-associated
violent deaths that have occurred.
Investigators will review public records
and published press reports concerning
each school-associated violent death.
For each identified case, investigators
will also interview an investigating law
enforcement official (defined as a police
officer, police chief, or district attorney),
and a school official (defined as a school
principal, school superintendent, school
counselor, school teacher, or school
support staff) who are knowledgeable
about the case in question. The
investigators will interview 35 school
officials annually. They will also
interview 35 law enforcement officials
annually. 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. The

Proposed Project
STD Surveillance Network (SSuN)—
Existing collection without an OMB
number—National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of the proposed study is
to improve the capacity of national,
state, and local STD programs to detect,
monitor, and respond rapidly to trends
in STDs through enhanced collection,
reporting, analysis, visualization and
interpretation of disease information. A
pilot project that took place from 2006
to 2008 informed the design of the
currently submitted SSuN project. The
pilot project was helpful in establishing
the sample size estimations that will be
used in the project and the
standardization of the way in which
questions will be asked of patients.
OMB clearance was not sought for this
pilot project because reporting sites
(public health departments) instead of
people were mistakenly counted as
respondents. There were only 6 sites
that were reporting data to CDC for the
clinic portion of the project; however,
more than 10 subjects were involved
with the population portion of the pilot.
The SSuN Project will be an active
STD sentinel surveillance network
comprised of 12 surveillance sites
around the United States. SSuN will use
two surveillance strategies to collect
information. The first will be a STD
clinic-based surveillance which will
extract data from existing electronic
medical records for all patient visits at
participating STD clinics over the 3
years. The second will be a populationbased surveillance in which a sample of
individuals reported with gonorrhea to
the 12 SSuN state or city health
departments are interviewed using
locally designed interview templates.
For the clinic-based surveillance, the
specified data elements will be
abstracted on a quarterly basis from
existing electronic medical records for
all patient visits to participating clinics.

may be collected at time of registration,
during the clinic encounter, or through
laboratory testing. For the populationbased STD surveillance, the results of
interviews will be entered into a
developed Microsoft Access database
that will be adapted locally for each
clinic. High quality, informative, and
timely surveillance data are necessary to
guide STD programs so interventions
are designed and implemented
appropriately. Furthermore,
surveillance data are necessary for
understanding the impact of STD
interventions based on the
epidemiology of each STD.
This information will be collected to
establish an integrated network of
sentinel STD clinics and health
departments to inform and guide
national programs and policies for STD
control in the US. It will improve the
capacity of national, state, and local
STD programs to detect, monitor, and
respond to established and emerging
trends in STDs, HIV, and viral hepatitis.
SSuN will help identify and evaluate
the effectiveness of public health
interventions to reduce STD morbidity.
The SSuN surveillance platform will
allow CDC to establish and maintain
common standards for data collection,
transmission, and analysis, and will
allow CDC to build and maintain STD
surveillance expertise in 12 surveillance
areas. Such common systems,
established mechanisms of
communication, and in-place expertise
are all critical components for timely,
flexible, and high quality surveillance.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annual burden hours are 432.
