implemented. The study population for
the primary care provider postdischarge questionnaire will be Primary
Care Providers (PCP) associated with the
same Medical Center who care for older
adult study patients discharged each
month. Four questionnaires will be
administered. (1) The Pre-discharge
patient questionnaire will be used to
survey older adults in the hospital
(before discharge). (2) The Post-
discharge patient questionnaire will be
used to survey the older adults that
completed the pre-discharge survey
three additional times (at 14, 30 and 60
days) after being discharged from the
Medical Center. (3) The Clinical staff
evaluation questionnaire will be used to
survey clinical staff at the Medical
Center. (4) The Primary Care Provider
(PCP) post-discharge questionnaire will
be used to survey primary care
providers involved in the care of
patients discharged. The open-ended
questions will be analyzed to identify
themes, and results will be presented by
theme. Frequencies, cross-tabs, and
regression analysis will be used for
categorical questions.
The total estimated annualized
burden hours is 622. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.

Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. 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 submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Improving Performance Measurement
and Monitoring by CDC programs—
New—Office of Grant Services (OGS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Each year, 75% of CDC funding goes
to extramural organizations, including
state and local partners, via contracts,
grants, and, most commonly,
cooperative agreements. A cooperative
agreement is an award mechanism used
when there will be substantial Federal
programmatic involvement, meaning
that the CDC program staff will
collaborate or participate in project or
program activities. These funds are
distributed from the Office of Grant
Services (OGS) to partners throughout
the world to promote health, prevent
disease, injury and disability and
prepare for new health threats. OGS is
responsible for the stewardship of these
approved generic clearance (OMB
approval number: 0970–0490,
expiration date 1/31/2020) owned by
ACF. This ACF generic clearance
replaces the information collection that
is the basis of CDC’s current PPMR.
Project participants will customize a
sample information collection to meet
program-specific needs.
The information collected will enable
the accurate, reliable, uniform and
timely submission to CDC of each
recipient’s progress and performance
measures. The information collected by
the generic information collection is
designed to align with, and support the
goals outlined for each of the CDC
recipients. 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 generic information
collection will allow each recipient 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
recipients. In addition, CDC will use the
information collected to respond to
inquiries from HHS, Congress and other
stakeholder inquiries about program
activities and their impact. CDC
requests OMB approval for three years.
The total estimated burden is 35,000
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.
funds while providing excellent,
professional services to our partners and
stakeholders.
Currently, CDC uses the PPMR (OMB
Control Number- 0920–1132, Expiration
Date: 08/31/2019), a progress report
form adapted from an information
collection owned by the Administration
for Children and Families (ACF). This
tool may be used to collect information
periodically from recipients of CDC
funds regarding the progress made on
CDC funded projects.
The Improving Performance
Measurement and Monitoring by CDC
Programs project will work with up to
25 CDC programs developing
cooperative agreements to address the
challenges they face with performance
planning, measurement and monitoring.
Each cooperative agreement will
provide funding to an average of 35
local entities, for a total of up to 875
locally funded entities.
Through participation in this Project,
CDC programs and recipients of
cooperative agreement funds will: (1)
Develop strong performance
measurement systems and practices; (2)
define and operationalize priority
performance measures tailored to a
specific cooperative agreement; and (3)
establish common data collection and
reporting expectations across all
recipients for a specific cooperative
agreement. The Project focuses on
addressing these issues during the early
stages of cooperative agreement
development and implementation.
The Project proposes a generic
clearance adapted from a previously
