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; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques Injuries and their consequences, including unintentional and violencerelated injuries, are the leading cause of death for the first four decades of life, regardless of gender, race, or socioeconomic status. More than 179,000 individuals in the United States die each year as a result of unintentional injuries and violence, more than 29 million others suffer non-fatal injuries and over one-third of all emergency department (ED) visits each year are due to injuries. In 2000, injuries and violence ultimately cost the United States $406 billion, with over $80 billion in medical costs and the remainder lost in productivity.1 Most events that result in injury and/or death from injury could be prevented if evidence-based public health strategies, practices, and policies were used throughout the nation. CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is committed to working with their partners to promote action that reduces injuries, violence, and disabilities by providing leadership in identifying priorities, promoting tools, and monitoring effectiveness of injury and violence prevention and to promote effective strategies for the prevention of injury and violence, and their consequences. One tool NCIPC will use to accomplish this is the Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program (VIPP). 1 Finkelstein EA, Corso PS, Miller TR, Associates.

VIPP)--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Injuries and their consequences, including unintentional and 
violence-related injuries, are the leading cause of death for the first 
four decades of life, regardless of gender, race, or socioeconomic 
status. More than 179,000 individuals in the United States die each 
year as a result of unintentional injuries and violence, more than 29 
million others suffer non-fatal injuries and over one-third of all 
emergency department (ED) visits each year are due to injuries. In 
2000, injuries and violence ultimately cost the United States $406 
billion, with over $80 billion in medical costs and the remainder lost 
in productivity.\1\ Most events that result in injury and/or death from 
injury could be prevented if evidence-based public health strategies,
