Proposed Project PERFORMANCE PROGRESS AND EVALUATION REPORT (PPER)— Existing Collection in use without an OMB Control Number—Office of Financial Resources (OFR), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Each year, approximately 80% of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) budget is distributed via contracts, grants and cooperative agreements, from the Procurements and Grants Office (PGO) to partners throughout the world to promote health, prevent disease, injury and disability and prepare for new health threats. PGO is responsible for the stewardship of these funds while providing excellent, professional services to our partners and stakeholders. Currently, CDC uses SF–PPR (a progress report form for Non-Research awards) or other methods to collect information semi-annually from Awardees regarding the progress made over specified time periods on CDC funded projects. The SF–PPR (OMB Control Number: 0970–0406, Expiration Date: 10/31/2015) is owned by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This ICR is being developed by CDC to create a CDC-wide collection tool called the Progress Performance and Evaluation Report (PPER) that will be used to collect data on the progress of CDC Awardees for the purposes of evaluation and to bring the Awardee reporting procedure into compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The information collected will enable the accurate, reliable, uniform, and timely submission to CDC, of each Awardee’s work plans and progress reports, including strategies, activities and performance measures. The information collected by the PPER is designed to align with, and support the goals outlined for each of the CDC Awardees. Collection and reporting of the information will occur in an efficient, standardized, and userfriendly manner that will generate a variety of routine and customizable reports. The PPER will allow each Awardee to summarize activities and progress towards meeting performance measures and goals over a specified time period specific to each award. CDC will also have the capacity to generate reports that describe activities across multiple Awardees. In addition, CDC will use the information collection to respond to inquiries from HHS, Congress and other stakeholder inquiries about program activities and their impact. The total estimated burden is 6,400 hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project

    PERFORMANCE PROGRESS AND EVALUATION REPORT (PPER)--Existing 
Collection in use without an OMB Control Number--Office of Financial 
Resources (OFR), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Each year, approximately 80% of the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention's (CDC) budget is distributed via contracts, grants and 
cooperative agreements, from the Procurements and Grants Office (PGO) 
to partners throughout the world to promote health, prevent disease, 
injury and disability and prepare for new health threats. PGO is 
responsible for the stewardship of these funds while providing 
excellent, professional services to our partners and stakeholders.
    Currently, CDC uses SF-PPR (a progress report form for Non-Research 
awards) or other methods to collect information semi-annually from 
Awardees regarding the progress made over specified time periods on CDC 
funded projects. The SF-PPR (OMB Control Number: 0970-0406, Expiration 
Date: 10/31/2015) is owned by the Administration for Children and 
Families (ACF) within the Department of Health and Human Services 
(HHS). This ICR is being developed by CDC to create a CDC-wide 
collection tool called the Progress Performance and Evaluation Report 
(PPER) that will be used to collect data on the progress of CDC 
Awardees for the purposes of evaluation and to bring the Awardee 
reporting procedure into compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act 
(PRA).
    The information collected will enable the accurate, reliable, 
uniform, and timely submission to CDC, of each Awardee's work plans and 
progress reports, including strategies, activities and performance 
measures. The information collected by the PPER is designed to align 
with, and support the goals outlined for each of the CDC Awardees. 
Collection and reporting of the information will occur in an efficient, 
standardized, and user-friendly manner that will generate a variety of 
routine and customizable reports. The PPER will allow each Awardee to 
summarize activities and progress towards meeting performance measures 
and goals over a specified time period specific to each award. CDC will 
also have the capacity to generate reports that describe activities 
across multiple Awardees. In addition, CDC will use the information 
collection to respond to inquiries from HHS, Congress and other 
stakeholder inquiries about program activities and their impact. The 
total estimated burden is 6,400 hours. There is no cost to respondents 
other than their time.
