Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–7570 or send
comments to Ron Otten, 1600 Clifton
Road, MS D–74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or
send an email to omb@cdc.gov.
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
or other forms of information
technology. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this
notice.
exp. 6/30/2013). The web-based survey
is designed to collect information on the
PRCs’ collaborations with health
departments; formal training programs
and other training activities; and other
funded prevention research projects
conducted separately from their core
research. A structured telephone
interview with a key PRC informant
obtains information on systems and
environmental changes in which PRCs
are involved. The content of the
information collection is guided by a set
of performance indicators developed
(2002) and later revised (2009) in
collaboration with the PRCs.
CDC will request OMB approval to
continue collecting performance
information from PRCs for three years,
with some changes. In this revision,
CDC requests OMB approval to (1)
Continue using a web-based survey and
telephone interview for data collection,
(2) change the platform of the web-based
survey, (3) decrease the data collection
burden for each PRC by decreasing the
number of questions collected on an
annual basis, and (4) revise some
questions for clarity or to reflect the
current needs and priorities of the
program.
CDC will continue to use the
information reported by PRCs to
identify training and technical
assistance needs, respond to requests for
information from Congress and other
sources, monitor grantees’ compliance
with cooperative agreement
requirements, evaluate progress made in
achieving goals and objectives, and
describe the impact and effectiveness of
the PRC Program.
There is no change in the number of
respondents (37). Each PRC program
will report the required information to
CDC once per year. The estimated
burden per response for the web-based
survey will decrease from six hours to
five hours, and the estimated burden per
response for each telephone interview
will decreased from one hour to 30
minutes. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
Proposed Project

National Evaluation Reporting System
(OMB No. 0920–0650, exp. 6/30/2013)—
Revision—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Prevention Research Centers
(PRC) Program was established by
Congress through the Health Promotion
and Disease Prevention Amendments of
1984. CDC manages the PRC Program
and currently provides funding to PRC
grantees that are housed within schools
of public health, medicine or
osteopathy. Awards are made for five
years and may be renewed through a
competitive application process. PRCs
conduct outcomes-oriented health
promotion and disease prevention
research on a broad range of topics
using a multi-disciplinary and
community-based approach. Research
projects involve state and local health
departments, health care providers,
universities, community partners, and
other organizations. PRCs collaborate
with external partners to assess
community health priorities; identify
research priorities; set research agendas;
conduct research projects and related
activities such as training and technical
assistance; and disseminate research
results to public health practitioners,
researchers, and the general public.
Each PRC receives an approximately
equal amount of funding from CDC to
establish its core capacity and support
a core research project as well as
training and evaluation activities.
Research foci reflect each PRC’s area of
expertise and the needs of the
community. Health disparities and goals
outlined in Healthy People 2020 are a
particular emphasis for most PRC core
research.
CDC is currently approved to collect
performance information from PRCs
through a web-based survey and

Proposed Project
School Associated Violent Death
Surveillance System (0920–0604,
Expiration 1/31/2013)—Revision—
National Center for Injury Prevention
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
relies 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 (SAVD) 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
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.
SAVD is an ongoing surveillance
system that draws cases from the entire
United States in attempting to capture
all cases of school-associated violent
deaths that have occurred. Investigators
review public records and published
press reports concerning each schoolassociated violent death. For each
identified case, investigators 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. Respondents
will only be interviewed once.
Researchers request information on both
the victim and alleged offender(s)—
including demographic data, their
academic and criminal records, and
their relationship to one another. Data
are also collected 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 data collection process has been
revised to update items included in the
surveys administered to law
enforcement and school staff and to
incorporate use of Computer Assisted
Telephone Interviewing software to
further reduce respondent burden. To
obtain as much detailed information as
possible concerning each identified
case, investigators seek to obtain the
initial law enforcement investigative
report.
All data are secured through the use
of technical, physical, and
administrative controls. Hard copies of
data are to be kept under lock and key
in secured offices, located in a secured
facility that can be accessed only by
presenting the appropriate credentials.
Digital data are password protected and
then stored (and backed up routinely)
onto a secure Local Area Network that
can only be accessed by individuals
who have been appropriately
authorized. Study data are reported in
the aggregate, such that no individual
case can be identified from the reports.
Data collection will be discontinued for
the early part of 2013 as we wait for the
30-day notice to post and approval of
our revision package.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time.
