again at a six-month follow-up, after
enrolling in the study. The intervention
group will participate in ChiCAS after
completing the baseline assessment and
the delayed intervention group will
participate in ChiCAS after completing
the six-month follow up assessment.
CDC will also examine intervention
experiences through in-depth interviews
with 30 intervention group participants.
The interviews will capture
participants’ general experiences with
the ChiCAS intervention, as well as
their experiences and perceptions
specific to the main study outcomes:
PrEP knowledge, awareness, interest
and use; condom skills and use; and
hormone therapy knowledge,
awareness, interest and use.
It is expected that 50% of transgender
women screened will meet study
eligibility. We expect the initial
screening and contact information
gathering to take approximately four
minutes to complete. The baseline
assessment will take 60 minutes to
complete and will be administered to
140 participants. The follow up
assessment will take 45 minutes to
complete and will be administered to
140 participants one time. The
interview will take 90 minutes to
complete and will be administered to 30
participants from the intervention group
one time.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
155.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of

collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a

concerning each proposed collection of

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;
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.

Background and Brief Description
The Division of Violence Prevention
(DVP), National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
proposes to maintain a system for the
surveillance of school-associated
homicides and suicides. The system
relies on existing public records and
interviews with law enforcement
officials and school officials. The
purpose of the system is to (1) estimate
the rate of school-associated violent
death in the United States, and (2)
identify common features of schoolassociated violent deaths. The system
will contribute to the understanding of
fatal violence associated with schools,
guide further research in the area, and
help direct ongoing and future
prevention programs.
Violence is the leading cause of death
among young people, and increasingly
recognized as an important public
health and social issue. In 2016, over
3,600 school-aged children (five to 18
years old) in the United States died
violent deaths due to suicide, homicide,
and unintentional firearm injuries. The
vast majority of these fatal injuries were
not school associated. However,
whenever a homicide or suicide occurs
in or around school, it becomes a matter
of particularly intense public interest
and concern. NCIPC conducted the first
scientific study of school-associated
violent deaths (SAVD) during the 1992–
99 academic years to establish the true
extent of this highly visible problem.
Despite the important role of schools as
a setting for violence research and
prevention interventions, relatively
little scientific or systematic work has
been done to describe the nature and
level of fatal violence associated with
schools. Until NCIPC conducted the first
nationwide investigation of violent
deaths associated with schools, public
health and education officials had to
rely on limited local studies and
estimated numbers to describe the
extent of school-associated violent
death.
SAVD is an ongoing surveillance
system that draws cases from the entire
United States in an attempt to capture
all cases of school-associated violent
deaths that have occurred. Investigators
review public records and published
press reports concerning each schoolassociated violent death. For each
identified case, investigators also
contact the corresponding law
enforcement agency and speak with an
official in order to confirm or reject the
case as an SAVD, and to request a copy
of the official law enforcement report for
confirmed SAVD cases.
In past years, investigators would
interview an investigating law
enforcement official (defined as a police
officer, police chief, or district attorney),
and a school official (defined as a school
principal, school superintendent, school
counselor, school teacher, or school
support staff) who were knowledgeable
about the case in question; however,
moving forward, the interviews with
these respondents will be eliminated,
and instead CDC study personnel will
abstract data from law enforcement
reports to enter using a Data Abstraction
Tool. Data to be abstracted from the law
enforcement report include the
following: Information on both the
victim and alleged offender(s)—
including demographic data, their
criminal records, and their relationship
to one another; the time and location of
the incident precipitating the fatality;
the circumstances, motive, and method
of the fatal injury; and the security and
violence prevention activities in the
school and community where the death
occurred, before and after the fatal
injury event. The revised data collection
process eliminates the use of telephone
interviews and will greatly reduce
respondents’ burden.
This is a revision request for the
currently approved ‘‘School-Associated
Violent Deaths Surveillance System’’
(SAVD; OMB No. 0920–0604, expiration
07/31/2022). CDC seeks to (1) collect the
majority of the data on schoolassociated violent deaths through the
National Violent Death Reporting
System (NVDRS), (2) eliminate the use
of abstraction of law enforcement
reports through the SAVD, and (3)
transition to abstraction of published
press reports by SAVD study staff. The
overall burden for the collection of
school-associated violent deaths will be
increased by six hours. Data collection
will transition entirely to the NVDRS
once cases from 2020 are fully
abstracted and there is the capability for
nationwide coverage of the collection of
school-associated violent deaths
through NVDRS. All data are secured
using technical, physical, and
administrative controls. Hard copies of
data are kept under lock and key in
secured offices, located in a secured
facility that can be accessed only by
presenting the appropriate credentials.
Digital data are password protected and
then stored (and backed up routinely)
onto a secure Local Area Network that
can only be accessed by individuals
who have been appropriately
authorized. Study data are reported in
the aggregate, such that no individual
case can be identified from the reports.
CDC requests approval for an
estimated 23 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time.
