Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Generic
Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval. CDC previously published a
‘‘Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on March,
2018 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC did
not receive comments related to the
previous notice. This notice serves to
allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
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,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
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
regarding the items contained in this
notice to the Attention: CDC Desk
Officer, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 17th Street NW,
Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395–5806. Provide written comments
within 30 days of notice publication.
Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for the Collection
of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery—Revision—Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH).
Background and Brief Description
Executive Order 12862 directs Federal
agencies to provide service to the public
that matches or exceeds the best service
available in the private sector. In order
to work continuously to ensure that our
programs are effective and meet our
customers’ needs, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC’s) National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) seeks to obtain OMB
approval of a generic clearance to
collect qualitative feedback on our
service delivery on collections. The
information collection activity will

garner qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic

mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
The Agency received no comments in
response to the 60-day notice published
in the Federal Register on March 23,
2018 (vol. 83, No. 57, pages 12766–
12768).
This is a Revision information
collection request. The burden hours
have decreased from the previous
submission by 6,250 hours. This
decrease accounts for the hours that
were unused as well as the planned
efforts within the Institute during the
next three years. NIOSH is also planning
on discontinuing 0920–0940 (expiration
3/31/2018) which accounts for service
delivery data collections within
NIOSH’s Health Hazard Evaluation
program. The current submission will
account for all service delivery data
collections within NIOSH.
During the past three years the
information has been used by programs
within NIOSH to collect feedback from
customers and stakeholders.
Respondents will be screened and
selected from Individuals and
Households, Businesses, Organizations,
and/or State, Local or Tribal
Government. Below we provide
NIOSH’s projected annualized estimate
for the next three years. There is no cost
to respondents other than their time.
The estimated annualized burden hours
for this data collection activity are
13,075.

Section
104(a)(4) of the Child Abuse Prevention
and Treatment Act (CAPTA), as
amended by the CAPTA
Reauthorization Act of 2010, Public Law
(Pub. L.) 111–320, requires the Secretary
of the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) to establish proposed
priorities for research activities, provide
an opportunity for public comment on
those proposed activities, and maintain
an official record of received public
comment concerning the priorities. The
proposed priorities are being announced
for the 2-year period required by
CAPTA. Because the amount of federal
funds available for discretionary
activities in fiscal years (FY) 2018–2020
is expected to be limited, respondents
are encouraged to recommend how the
proposed issues should be prioritized.
The actual solicitation of grant
applications will be posted
electronically each fiscal year and will
be available online through https://
www.Grants.gov. Solicitations for
contracts will be announced at later
dates, online at FedBizOps. No
proposals, concept papers, or other
forms of application should be
submitted at this time.
No acknowledgement will be made of
the comments submitted in response to
this notice, but all comments received
by the deadline will be reviewed and
given thoughtful consideration in the
preparation of the final funding
priorities for the announcements.

I. Background
As noted above, section 104(a)(4) of
CAPTA requires the Secretary to
publish proposed priorities for research
activities for public comment every 2
years. In response to this legislative
mandate, CB has undertaken a review of
the current legislative language, the
results of the CAPTA-funded research
since the last CAPTA announcement of
research priority areas, findings from
other relevant research, and input from
the field. Based on this review, this
notice of proposed research is being
disseminated for comment. The FY 2018
President’s Budget requested
$32,937,267 for child abuse
discretionary activities to support efforts
designed to assist and enhance national,
state, and local efforts to prevent,
identify, and treat child abuse and
neglect. The program funds projects to
compile, publish, and disseminate
training materials; provide technical
assistance; and demonstrate and
evaluate improved methods and
procedures to prevent and treat child
abuse and neglect. Under discretionary
funds, CB will continue to fund the
following clearinghouse and technical
assistance activities:
• The Child Welfare Information
Gateway;
• Family Resource Information,
Education, and Network Development
Service (FRIENDS); and
• National Child Abuse and Neglect
Data System (NCANDS) technical
assistance and technical support
program.
In addition, the child abuse
discretionary activities’ account funds a
number of research and demonstration
