versions of the form will have the same
name.
OGE proposes adding approximately
two pages of supplemental information
to the PDF version of the form in order
to provide guidance to applicants
regarding the use of the form.
Specifically, the supplemental
information provides guidance on
which documents can be obtained by
request via the form (including a
description of such documents), which
documents can be obtained from OGE as
opposed to an individual’s employing
agency, and when and how to submit a
request using the PDF version of the
form. The changes avoid the use of the
term ‘‘other covered records,’’ which
was a point of confusion for applicants
in the past. Instead, the supplemental
information simply describes all
documents available through use of the
form, including a chart. OGE proposes
to remove section III because that
information will now be found more
easily in the supplemental information.
OGE proposes to make a number of
changes to the PDF version of the form
to align the form with plain language
principles and to improve user
experience. These changes include:
adding the title to the face of the PDF
version of the form; removing OGE’s
name, address, telephone number and
fax number from the top of the form;
adding ‘‘Your’’ in front of the name,
mailing address, occupation, and
telephone number fields; adding
parentheticals containing the word
‘‘required’’ next to required fields;
grouping fields 3 and 3a in section I
together; and reformatting section I in
order to make it easier for applicants to
specify the type of report and time
period in field 5, if applicable, and
provide examples to the applicants in
the instructions. OGE also proposes to
add a continuation page to allow more
space for fields 5 and 5a.
OGE proposes moving the ‘‘Agency
Use Only’’ box on the PDF version of
the form to the end of section II (‘‘Notice
of Action’’), marking it ‘‘optional,’’ and
expanding it. Moving it to the end of
section II will group together all
portions of the form to be completed by
the applicant, thereby minimizing the
potential for missing information or
omitting a signature that would delay
processing. The proposed additions add
space for information on requests that
are not filled and additional notes in
order to provide more information to
applicants about why a document was
or was not released. Likewise, OGE
proposes to remove the checkbox in
section II indicating that ‘‘Copies of the
report(s) or other covered record(s) you
requested are enclosed’’ as duplicative

of the information in the revised
‘‘Agency Use Only’’ box.
OGE proposes changing the applicant
choices on all versions of the form by
changing ‘‘private citizen’’ to ‘‘member
of the public;’’ combining ‘‘law firm’’
and ‘‘other private organization’’ into
simply ‘‘private organization;’’ and
adding an option for ‘‘other.’’ The
purpose of these changes is to
modernize the language and make
selecting a choice easier for the
applicant.
In the applicant signature section on
all versions of the form, OGE proposes
to broaden language to address all
potential requested records. The revised
language would read: ‘‘I am aware that
in completing this official government
form that any intentionally false or
misleading statement, certification, or
response provided in this form is a
violation of law punishable by a fine or
imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C.
1001.’’
Finally, on the PDF version of the
form, OGE proposes adding the option
for applicants to provide an email
address in lieu of a mailing address,
while also removing the ‘‘Pick-up’’
option. These changes are based on
agency feedback that almost every
request is filled using email and that
few agencies allow for applicants to
pick up documents. Use of email also
helps with record keeping and cuts
down significantly on processing time,
allowing applicants to receive their
documents quickly. OGE also proposes
to remove the checkbox for the ‘‘Picked
up by’’ from section II, as that option
would be eliminated. The online
application currently requires
applicants to provide an email address
and applicants who use the online
application may only receive a response
via email. OGE now proposes to remove
the unnecessary street address field
from the online application, to reduce
the information burden on applicants.
Request for Comments: Agency and
public comment is invited specifically
on the need for and practical utility of
this information collection, the accuracy
of OGE’s burden estimate, the
enhancement of quality, utility and
clarity of the information collected, and
the minimization of burden (including
the use of information technology).
Comments received in response to this
notice will be summarized for and
included with the OGE request for
extension of OMB paperwork approval.
The comments will also become a
matter of public record.
Specifically, OGE seeks public
comment on the following:
• What problems do you have using
the form?

Proposed Project
Annual Reporting of the Rape
Prevention and Education (RPE)
Program (OMB Control No. 0920–1286,
Exp. 3/31/2023)—Revision—National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC)
Background and Brief Description
This is a Revision request for the
currently approved ‘‘Annual Reporting
of the Rape prevention and Education
(RPE) Program’’ (OMB Control No.
0920–1286, Exp. 03/31/2023). This
Revision is being requested to continue
to collect information related to
implementation and outcomes annually
from 53 recipients or their designated
delegates funded through the funding
opportunity, CE19–1902. Sexual
violence (SV) is a major public health
problem: one in three women and one
in four men experienced sexual violence
involving physical contact during their
lifetimes. Nearly one in five women and
one in 38 men have experienced
completed or attempted rape. Sexual
violence starts early: one in three female
and one in four male rape victims
experienced it for the first time between
11–17 years old. CDC’s Division of
Violence Prevention (DVP) provides
national leadership in prevention SV
perpetration and victimization before it
begins, (i.e., primary prevention). DVP
administers 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.
The RPE Program is the principal
federally funded program focused on SV
primary prevention. Collecting
information about the implementation
and outcomes of CE19–1902 cooperative
agreement through the online data
system, DVP Partners Portal, is crucial
to informing SV 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.
Information will be collected annually
from recipients through the online data
system, DVP Partners Portal. The DVP
Partners Portal is organized by forms,
which are further organized by sections
and sub-sections. Recipients and
program staff will be able to review
information reported in previous years
within the DVP Partners Portal per their
authenticated access to the Portal. In
addition, information from previous
reports will be carried over and prepopulated for the next annual reporting
as appropriate. Thus, with DVP Partners
Portal most of the burden is required
during the initial population of
information (Year 1), Recipients will
only need to enter changes, provide
progress information, and add new
information after Year 1.
CDC will use the information to be
collected to do the following:
• Enhance accountability of the use of
federal funds;
• Provide timely program reports and
responses to information request;
• Improve real-time communications
between CDC and recipients;
• Strengthen CDC’s capacity to
provide responsive and data-driven TA;
• Strengthen CDC’s capacity to
monitor and evaluate recipients’
progress and performance towards
activities required as part of the
cooperative agreement;
• Allow both CDC and recipients to
track their own state activities and
outcomes, and ensure alignment
between their state and local activities;
• Generate a variety of routine and
customizable reports specifically for
each recipient and in aggregate
nationally for CDC stakeholders;
CDC requests approval for an
estimated 424 annual burden hours.
CDC is requesting a one-year approval.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate.
