SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a continuing information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on a proposed information
collection project titled Improving
Performance Measurement and
Monitoring by CDC Programs: The
Performance Measures Project. CDC is
requesting approval for a Revision to the
previously approved project to work
with selected CDC programs to provide
tools, templates and technical assistance
to develop and implement performance
measures for CDC funded public health
initiatives.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before April 27, 2026.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2026–
0298 by either of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal:
www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
• Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information
Collection Review Office, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 1600
Clifton Road NE, MS H21–8, Atlanta,
Georgia 30329.

Instructions: All submissions received
must include the agency name and
Docket Number. CDC will post, without
change, all relevant comments to
www.regulations.gov.
Please note: Submit all comments
through the Federal eRulemaking portal
(www.regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to
the address listed above.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of
the information collection plan and
instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger,

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
Improving Performance Measurement
and Monitoring by CDC Programs: The
Performance Measures Project (OMB
Control No. 0920–1282, Exp. 06/30/
2029)—Revision—Office of Policy
Performance and Evaluation (OPPE),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Each year, approximately 75% of the
CDC’s congressionally appropriated
funding goes to extramural
organizations, including state and local
partners, via contracts, grants, and, most
commonly, cooperative agreements. The
availability of funding for grants and
cooperative agreements is announced
through a Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO). CDC awards up to
100 new, non-research NOFOs each year
(each funded for one to five years).
These awards may have only a few
funded recipients or more than 50 (such
as when a CDC program provides
funding to all states and territories).
CDC programs develop logic models
for each NOFO, describing the key
programmatic strategies and activities
and the short, intermediate, and longterm outcomes funded recipients are
expected to achieve during their period
of performance. Programs develop
performance measures customized to a
NOFO-specific public health initiative
to assess actions prescribed by the logic
model with the immediate goal of
monitoring progress and the long-term
goal of improving performance.
Monitoring and reporting of program
performance is required of any nonfederal entity receiving federal funds
under 45 CFR 75.342 which states; ‘‘the
non-Federal entity must monitor its
activities under Federal awards to
assure compliance with applicable
Federal requirements and performance
expectations are being achieved.’’ Under
this requested approval, CDC programs
customized a sample ‘‘Recipient

Codebook Technical Specification’’ and
a sample ‘‘Recipient Data Reporting
Guide’’ to measure, at the local level,
the desired public health outcomes of a
particular public health initiative, in
compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA). Individual
collection requests submitted under this
Generic approval will include the
tailored forms and a supplementary
template. CDC programs who may be
developing new, non-research NOFOs

programs to use the Generic mechanism
for future performance measure data
collection. This Revision reflects
expanded technical assistance that the
Performance and Evaluation Office
(PEO) provides.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 104,949 annual burden hours.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

approved NOFO are eligible to

Currently, CDC programs have
received OMB approval to collect
performance measure data using the
0920–1282 Generic Information
Collection. This Revision is requested to
allow participating CDC programs to
continue performance measure data
collection through the remaining
approval period and for additional
