Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations, 26116-26117 [2019-11649]

Download as PDF 26116 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 108 / Wednesday, June 5, 2019 / Notices The BGMIS does not collect data related to assessing aggregate outcomes. A separate information collection request, designed to assess cross-cutting outputs and outcomes resulting from Block grant has been developed and is undergoing public comment. Legislation requires awardees to be accountable for funds they receive by evaluating and reporting on program activities and health status on an annual basis. The BGMIS system allows CDC and awardees to measure performance, identifying the extent to which objectives were met and identifying the most highly successful program interventions. CDC requests OMB approval to continue the Block Grant information collection for three years. CDC will continue to use the BGMIS to monitor awardee progress, identify activities and personnel supported with Block Grant funding, conduct compliance reviews of Block Grant awardees, and promote the use of evidence-based guidelines and interventions. There are no changes to the number of respondents or the estimated annual burden per respondent. The Work Plan and the Annual Report will be submitted annually. The estimated burden per response for the Work Plan is 20 hours and the estimated burden per response for the Annual Report is 15 hours. Participation in this information collection is required for Block Grant awardees. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. Awardees continue to submit Success Stories with their Annual Progress reports through BGMIS, without changes.

Proposed Project

    Annual Reporting of the Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) 
Program: CE19-1902 Cooperative Agreement--New--National Center for 
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    OMB approval is requested for three years for this new collection. 
The RPE Program, which provides funding to health departments in all 50 
states, the District of Columbia (DC), Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. 
Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands. This 
ICR will collect information related to implementation and outcomes 
annually from recipients of the new funding opportunity CDC-RFA-CE19-
1902: Rape Prevention and Education (RPE): Using The Best Available 
Evidence for Sexual Violence Prevention cooperative agreement. This new 
RPE funding opportunity differs greatly from previous funding 
opportunities provided by CDC through the RPE Program. Specifically, 
program activities differ from the previous funding cycles, and the 
program will be collecting information for the first time on recipient 
outcomes.
    RPE Program recipients or designated delegates will submit data 
annually into the online data system, DVP Partners Portal. Recipients 
will monitor and report progress on their goals, objectives, and 
activities, as well as relevant information on the implementation of 
their prevention strategies, outcomes, evaluation, and state action 
plan.
    Collecting information about the implementation and outcomes of 
CE19-1902 cooperative agreement through the online data system, DVP 
Partners Portal, is crucial to informing Sexual Violence prevention 
nationally; enhancing accountability of the use of federal funds; 
providing timely program reports and responses to information requests, 
such as Congressional requests mandated by the authorizing legislation; 
improving real-time communications between CDC and RPE recipients; and 
strengthening CDC's capacity to provide responsive data-driven 
technical assistance and to monitor and evaluate recipients' progress 
and performance. The only cost to respondents will be time spent 
responding to the survey/screener. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours is 440.
