CDC is requesting reinstatement of
this surveillance system which remains the only systematic effort
to document school-associated violent deaths on a national basis.
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. The surveillance system
will continue to contribute to the understanding of fatal violence
associated with schools, guide further research in the area, and
help direct ongoing and future prevention programs.

This is a reinstatement with
change that involves changes to the data collection instruments and
the adding of an additional security measure. Changes made to data
collection instruments do not increase nor decrease the
burden.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
