Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has submitted the
following information collection request
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. CDC previously
published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection
Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on February

public and affected agencies. CDC
received one comment related to the
previous notice. The purpose of this
notice is to allow an additional 30 days
for public comments.
Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. The Office
of Management and Budget is
particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;

(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or
send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions

Proposed Project
Annual Progress Report (APR) for
Injury Control Research Centers
(ICRC)—New—National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Injury Control Research Centers
(ICRCs) form a national network of ten
comprehensive academic research
centers that focus on three core
functions: Research, training, and
outreach. ICRCs are on the scientific
front line conducting cutting-edge,
multidisciplinary research on the
causes, outcomes, and prevention of
injuries and violence.
ICRC research focuses on issues of
local and national importance including
motor vehicle injuries; interpersonal
violence and suicide; opioid overdoses;
older adult falls; and traumatic brain
injuries. ICRCs work with states and
communities to ensure research is put
into action to prevent injuries and
violence. They provide technical
assistance to disseminate and translate
research findings which leads to
increased awareness and influences
action. ICRCs play a critical role training
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
and developing the current and next
generation of researchers and public
health professionals. This helps ensure
there is an adequate supply of qualified
practitioners and researchers to advance
prevention research, address new
problems, and reach new populations
across the nation.
The CDC seeks OMB approval for
three years to collect Annual Progress
Report (APR) information from 10
grantees funded under Grants for Injury
Control Research Centers (ICRC). ICRC
awardees will report activity
information to CDC annually using three
fillable electronic templates. The first
Word-based template is the principal
tool for the Indicators Data Collection
(IDC), which is based on a set of
program activity indicators and key
ICRC evaluation questions. The second
Word-based template collects
information about non-CDC-funded
studies, and the third template, which is
Excel-based, collects information about
ICRC personnel and publications.
Information will be reported
electronically to the NCIPC for program
monitoring, and hard copies will be
submitted to CDC’s Office of Financial
Resources (OFR). Together, the tools
describe grantees’ annual goals,
objectives, progress, and performance
towards overall cooperative agreement
aims. The tools also describe how
grantees implement and use evidencebased injury prevention and control
strategies.
Information to be collected will
provide crucial data for program
performance monitoring, will allow
CDC to analyze and synthesize
information from grantees, help ensure
consistency in documenting progress
and technical assistance, enhance
accountability of the use of federal
funds, and provide timely reports as
frequently requested by the Department
of Health and Human Services, the
White House, and Congress.
Submission of the Annual Progress
Report is required for cooperative
agreement grantees. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 500. There
is no cost to respondents other than
their time.

retrospective review in 2018, the DVCs
will review data submitted by
sponsoring organizations for CY2017.
The main changes for the 2018 DV are
to eliminate the Part C/D reporting
section Sponsor Oversight of Agents and
adding the Part D reporting section
