[FR Doc. 2012–20213 Filed 8–16–12; 8:45 am] VerDate Mar<15>2010 Number of respondents Form name 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. Research indicates that on average, 24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in the United States. Over the course of one year, more than 12 million women and men reported being a victim of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner. Also, on average nearly three women are murdered each day by an intimate partner. In 2007, IPV resulted in more than 2,300 deaths. Of these deaths, 30 percent were men and 70 percent were women. The medical care, mental health services, and lost productivity (e.g., time away from work) cost of IPV is estimated at $8.3 billion per year. The objective of primary prevention is to stop IPV before it occurs.

The CDC funded DELTA Program provides funding to state domestic violence coalitions (SDVCs) to engage in statewide primary prevention efforts and to provide training, technical assistance, and financial support to local communities for local primary prevention efforts. DELTA FOCUS (Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for Communities United with States) builds on that history by providing focused funding to states and communities for intensive implementation and evaluation of IPV primary prevention strategies that address the structural determinants of health at the societal and community levels of the social-ecological model (SEM). By emphasizing primary prevention, the DELTA FOCUS program will support comprehensive and coordinated approaches to IPV prevention. The strategies will address the structural determinants of health at the outer layers (societal and community) of the SEM that coordinate and align with existing prevention strategies at the inner layers of the SEM. This program addresses the ‘‘Healthy People 2020’’ focus area(s) of Injury and Violence Prevention and Social Determinants of Health. Information will be collected from the 12 DELTA FOCUS awardees through an electronic Performance Management Information System (PMIS). The PMIS will collect information about the staffing resources dedicated by each awardee, as well as partnerships with external organizations. Information collected through the PMIS will be used to inform performance monitoring and program evaluation. Information will also be used to respond to requests from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Department of Health and Human Services, White House, Congress, and other sources.

The PMIS will collect a limited amount of information in identifiable form (IIF) for key program staff (e.g., Executive Director). Only names and professional contact information will be collected, limiting the potential negative impact this data collection might have on the privacy of respondents. No personal contact information will be collected. All respondents will be state and territorial domestic violence coalitions. The time commitments for data entry and training are greatest during the initial population of the PMIS, typically in the first six months of funding.

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.
    Research indicates that on average, 24 people per minute are 
victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner 
in the United States. Over the course of one year, more than 12 million 
women and men reported being a victim of rape, physical violence, or 
stalking by an intimate partner. Also, on average nearly three women 
are murdered each day by an intimate partner. In 2007, IPV resulted in 
more than 2,300 deaths. Of these deaths, 30 percent were men and 70 
percent were women. The medical care, mental health services, and lost 
productivity (e.g., time away from work) cost of IPV is estimated at 
$8.3 billion per year.
    The objective of primary prevention is to stop IPV before it 
occurs. In 2002, authorized by the Family Violence Prevention Services 
Act (FVPSA), CDC developed the Domestic Violence Prevention 
Enhancements and Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA) Program, with a 
focus on the primary prevention of IPV. The CDC funded DELTA Program 
provides funding to state domestic violence coalitions (SDVCs) to 
engage in statewide primary prevention efforts and to provide training, 
technical assistance, and financial support to local communities for 
local primary prevention efforts. DELTA FOCUS (Domestic Violence 
Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances, Focusing on 
Outcomes for Communities United with States) builds on that history by 
providing focused funding to states and communities for intensive 
implementation and evaluation of IPV primary prevention strategies that 
address the structural determinants of health at the societal and 
community levels of the social-ecological model (SEM).
    By emphasizing primary prevention, the DELTA FOCUS program will 
support comprehensive and coordinated approaches to IPV prevention. The 
strategies will address the structural determinants of health at the 
outer layers (societal and community) of the SEM that coordinate and 
align with existing prevention strategies at the inner layers of the 
SEM. This program addresses the ``Healthy People 2020'' focus area(s) 
of Injury and Violence Prevention and Social Determinants of Health.
    Information will be collected from the 12 DELTA FOCUS awardees 
through an electronic Performance Management Information System (PMIS). 
The PMIS will collect information about the staffing resources 
dedicated by each awardee, as well as partnerships with external 
organizations. Information collected through the PMIS will be used to 
inform performance monitoring and program evaluation. Information will 
also be used to respond to requests from the National Center for Injury 
Prevention and Control, Department of Health and Human Services, White 
House, Congress, and other sources.

DELTA FOCUS awardees will use the information collection to manage and 
coordinate their activities and to improve their efforts to prevent 
IPV.
    The PMIS will collect a limited amount of information in 
identifiable form (IIF) for key program staff (e.g., Executive 
Director). Only names and professional contact information will be 
collected, limiting the potential negative impact this data collection 
might have on the privacy of respondents. No personal contact 
information will be collected. All respondents will be state and 
territorial domestic violence coalitions. The time commitments for data 
entry and training are greatest during the initial population of the 
PMIS, typically in the first six months of funding. Estimated burden 
for the first-time population of the PMIS is fifteen hours. Semi-Annual 
Reporting is estimated at three hours per respondent.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
