In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Performance
Progress and Monitoring Report (PPMR)
(OMB Control No. 0920–1132) 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 May 8, 2019 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC received one comment
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,
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

notice to the Attention: CDC Desk
Officer, Office of Management and

Proposed Project
Performance Progress and Monitoring
Report (PPMR) (OMB Control No. 0920–
1132, Exp. 08/31/2019)—Revision—
Office of Science (OS), 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 Office of Financial
Resources (OFR) to partners throughout
the world in an effort to promote health,
prevent disease, injury and disability
and prepare for new health threats. OFR
is responsible for the stewardship of
these funds while providing excellent,
professional services to our partners and
stakeholders.
Currently, CDC uses the Performance
Progress and Monitoring Report
(PPMR—OMB Control Number: 0920–
1132, Expiration Date: 08/31/2019), a
progress report form for Non-Research
awards to collect information semiannually from Awardees regarding the
progress made over specified time
periods on CDC funded projects. The
PPMR was originally modified from SF–
PPR (OMB Control Number: 0970–0406,
Expiration Date: 10/31/2015), a similar
progress report that was owned by the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) within the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The PPMR was created by CDC to
provide an agency-wide collection tool
that would be able to obtain 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 enables 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 PPMR 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 PPMR
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.
This Revision request is being
submitted to allow CDC to continue
collection of this valuable information
from Awardees for an additional three
years, and to amend the procedures by
which the information can be collected.
Currently, the submission process
requires Awardees to submit a
completed PDF version of the PPMR by
uploading it to www.grants.gov in
accordance with program guidance and
award terms and conditions. While this
method will continue to be utilized,
CDC now requests that Awardees be
permitted to submit the PPMR, and
associated forms directly to the
Programs that will be performing the
evaluation. This method of submission
will occur via the use of a fillable PDF
and Excel-based versions of the PPMR
Reporting Tool.
Use of this mechanism and the ability
of Awardees to submit information
related to program evaluation directly to

evaluators is expected to greatly
increase the use of the PPMR and its
associated forms. Centers, Institutes and
Offices within CDC will use the PPMR
with varying frequency, however with
the opportunity to submit evaluation
information directly, the total number of
responses per year could be increased
by 2,000, and the overall Burden Hours
could increase by 4,000. The total
annual Burden Hours requested is
13,014. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.
