    Monitoring and Reporting System for the Prescription Drug Overdose 
Prevention for States Cooperative agreement--New--National Center for 
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Drug overdose is the leading cause of injury death in the United 
States. Opioid-prescribing behaviors are associated with an increased 
risk for morbidity and mortality. While opioid pain relievers can play 
an important role in the management of some types of pain, the 
overprescribing of these powerful drugs has fueled a national epidemic 
of prescription drug abuse and overdose. To reverse this complex 
epidemic and prevent future overdose, abuse, and misuse, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides support to states to 
improve surveillance. Support and guidance for these programs have been 
provided through cooperative agreement funding and technical assistance 
administered by CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control 
(NCIPC).

[[Page 44966]]

    The goal of this ICR is to collect information from awardees funded 
under the Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention for States (CDC-RFA-
CE15-1501) cooperative agreement, for program monitoring and 
improvement among funded state health departments.
    Information to be collected will provide crucial data for program 
performance monitoring and budget tracking, and provide CDC with the 
capacity to respond in a timely manner to requests for information 
about the program from the Department of Health and Human Services 
(HHS), the White House, Congress, and other sources. Awardees will 
report progress and activity information to CDC on an annual schedule 
using an Excel-based fillable electronic templates, pre-populated to 
the extent possible by CDC staff, to be submitted via Grant Solutions. 
Each awardee will submit an Annual reporting Progress Report Tool. The 
estimated burden per response is 4 hours for each Annual reporting 
Progress Report Tool. In addition, each awardee will submit an Annual 
reporting Evaluation Plan Tool. The estimated burden per response is 3 
hours for each Annual reporting Evaluation Plan Tool.
    In Year 1, each awardee will have additional burden related to 
initial collection of the reporting tools. Initial Collection Annual 
Progress Report Tool is estimated to be 20 hours per response, Initial 
population of the tools is a one-time activity which is annualized over 
the 3 years of the information collection request. After completing the 
initial population of the tools, pertinent information only needs to be 
updated for each annual report. The same instruments will be used for 
all information collection and reporting.
    CDC will use the information collected to monitor each awardee's 
progress and to identify facilitators and challenges to program 
implementation and achievement of outcomes. Monitoring allows CDC to 
determine whether an awardee is meeting performance and budget goals 
and to make adjustments in the type and level of technical assistance 
provided to them, as needed, to support attainment of their performance 
measures.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation in the 
information collection is required as a condition of funding. There are 
no costs to respondents other than their time.
