SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
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.
Proposed Project
Program Evaluation of CDC’s Core State
Injury Prevention Program—New—
National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Background and Brief Description
CDC requests OMB approval for three
years for this new data collection.
Approval is requested to collect
information from awardees funded
under the Core State Injury Prevention
Program cooperative agreement,
hereafter known as Core SIPP. This
program is a new initiative. As part of
the annual program evaluation data
collection, recipients will submit data

on enhancements in program
implementation capacity, leveraged
resources/funds through economic
indicators, challenges and successes,
programmatic improvements, and
impact through interviews. Finally,
awardees will annually submit injury
and violence prevention surveillance
data using an Excel-based Injury
Indicator Spreadsheets and Special
Emphasis Reports.
Information to be collected will
provide crucial data for program
evaluation and provide CDC with the
ability to respond in a timely manner to
requests for information about the
program from the Department of Health
and Human Services (DHHS), the White
House, and Congress. It will also
provide increased capacity, help
understand how the cooperative
agreement increases potential
sustainability though improved
capacity, provide data-driven technical
assistance, and disseminate the most
current surveillance data on
unintentional and intentional injuries.
Authority for CDC’s National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC) to collect these data is granted
by Section 301 of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241). This Act
gives federal health agencies, such as
CDC, broad authority to collect data and
participate in other public health
activities, including this type of
program implementation evaluation.
The Core SIPP evaluation will collect
several types of information from
recipients over the course of the funding
cycle. This information will be used to:
(1) Evaluate and track outcomes at the
recipient- and program-levels as they
relate to injury prevention-focused
infrastructure development,
surveillance system development and
use, and partnerships, to prevent
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs),
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and
transportation-related injuries.
Recipient- and program-level
identification of disproportionately
affected populations and subsequent
public health actions taken to address
injury-related health disparities will
also be assessed.
(2) Identify technical assistance needs
of individual recipients and this
recipient cohort, so that the CDC team
can appropriately deploy resources to
support recipients.
(3) Identify practice-based evidence
for injury prevention public health
actions to advance the field through
future partnerships, program design,
and publications.

(4) Inform continuous quality
improvement activities over the course
of the funding period, to include
quarterly and annual strategic planning

for current and later iterations of this
program under future funding.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 655 annual burden hours.

There are no costs to respondents other
than their time to participate.

Proposed Project
Evaluation of the Overdose Data to
Action Technical Assistance Hub—
New—National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC)
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Overdose Prevention
(DOP), at Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) requests a threeyear OMB approval to support the
evaluation of technical assistance (TA)
provided for the Overdose Data to
Action (OD2A) program. OD2A is a
cooperative agreement (CDC–RFA–
CE19–1904) funded in 2019 to focus on
comprehensive and interdisciplinary
opioid overdose prevention efforts in 47
state health departments, 16 localities,
Puerto Rico, Washington DC, and the
North Mariana Islands. This program
consists of two required components—
a surveillance component and a
prevention component. OD2A recipients
implement a combination of activities
across 10 strategies within these
components in order to gain access to
high quality, complete, and timelier
data on opioid prescribing and
overdoses and to use those data to
inform prevention and response efforts
in their jurisdictions.
Training and technical assistance
(TA) is essential to building knowledge
and strengthening the capacity of
recipients to implement and evaluate
OD2A program strategies. CDC will
develop and deploy a TA hub (hereafter
referred to as the OD2A TA Center) to
deliver comprehensive technical
assistance and training to support the
successful implementation and
