The assessment is guided by three process-related research questions and multiple indicators designed to examine changes in processes, organizational structure, and capacity. It will also examine states’ ability to implement a coordinated approach across the different chronic disease areas and the four domains; challenges and benefits; and measurable positive outcomes. The research questions include: (1) What changes did States make to create greater synergy?, (2) To what extent were redundancies reduced or eliminated at the State level?, and (3) How has coordination with critical partners changed since the implementation of State Public Health Actions 1305? from each funded program for a total of approximately 408 respondents. CDC will use survey findings to (1) inform future CDC technical assistance provision to State Public Health Actions 1305 funded programs, and (2) inform future cross-cutting, coordinated funding models. In addition, findings will complement existing routine reporting by gathering information about the specific processes that support program implementation plans. Findings will be disseminated via grantee webinars, grantee annual meetings, reports to CDC leadership, and U.S. Congressional reports. OMB approval is requested for 2 years. Participation is voluntary and respondents will not receive incentives for participation. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. CDC plans to administer a web-based survey to health departments receiving funding through the State Public Health Actions 1305 cooperative agreement, including 50 states and the District of Columbia. CDC plans to administer the survey in 2016 (program year 4) and 2018 (program year 5) to explore changes in partnerships and synergy throughout the 5-year cooperative agreement. Surveys will be administered to health department staff directly involved in planning and/or implementation of the State Public Health Actions 1305 program, including principal investigators, chronic disease directors, program evaluators, epidemiologists, and program staff with subject matter expertise in one or more of the four categorical areas.

Proposed Project DELTA FOCUS Program Evaluation— Reinstatement with change—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 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. The purpose of the DELTA FOCUS (Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for Communities United with States) program is to promote the prevention of IPV through the implementation and evaluation of strategies that create a foundation for the development of practice-based evidence. By emphasizing primary prevention, this program will support comprehensive and coordinated approaches to IPV prevention. Each State Domestic Violence Coalition (SDVC) is required to identify and fund one to two wellorganized, broad-based, active local coalitions (referred to as coordinated community responses or CCRs) that are already engaging in, or are at capacity to engage in, IPV primary prevention strategies affecting the structural determinants of health at the societal and/or community levels of the social ecological model. SDVCs must facilitate and support local-level implementation and hire empowerment evaluators to support the evaluation of IPV prevention strategies by the CCRs. SDVCs must also implement and with their empowerment evaluators, evaluate state-level IPV prevention strategies. CDC seeks a one-year OMB approval to collect information electronically from awardees, their CCRs and their empowerment evaluators. Information will be collected using the DELTA FOCUS Program Evaluation Survey (referred to as DF Survey). The DF E:\FR\FM\07MRN1.SGM 07MRN1

Proposed Project

    Qualitative Information Collection on Emerging Diseases among the 
Foreign-born in the U.S. (0920-0987 expires 09/30/2016)--Extension--
Division of Global Migration and Quarantine, National Center for 
Emerging Zoonotic and Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National 
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division 
of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ), requests approval for an 
extension of the current generic information collection Qualitative 
Information Collection on Emerging Diseases among the Foreign-born in 
the U.S.
    This qualitative data collection is needed by DGMQ because foreign-
born individuals are considered hard-to-reach populations and are often 
missed by routine information collection systems in the United States. 
As a consequence, limited information is available about the health 
status, knowledge, attitudes, health beliefs and practices related to 
communicable diseases and other emerging health issues (e.g., 
tuberculosis, parasitic diseases, lead poisoning, and mental health 
issues) among foreign-born populations in the United States. Foreign-
born populations are very diverse in terms of countries of origin, 
socio-demographic, cultural and linguistic characteristics and 
geographic destinations in the U.S. Data is especially limited at the 
local level.
    The purpose of the extension is to continue efforts to improve the 
agency's understanding of the health status, risk factors for disease, 
and other health outcomes among foreign-born individuals in the United 
States. Numerous types of data will be collected under the auspices of 
this generic information collection. These include, but are not limited 
to, knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral intentions, practices, 
behaviors, skills, self-efficacy, and health information needs and 
sources.
    Under the terms of this generic, CDC will employ focus groups and 
key informant interviews to collect information. Depending on the 
specific purpose, the information collection may be conducted either 
in-person, by telephone, on paper, or online. For each generic 
information collection, CDC will submit to OMB the project summary and 
information collection tools.
    CDC requests a total of 1,025 respondents and 825 burden hours 
annually. The respondents to these information collections are foreign 
born individuals in the United States. There is no cost to respondents 
other than the time required to provide the information requested.
