Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled Templates for Extramural Data Management 
Plans to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection 
Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on [insert 
August 8, 2019] to obtain comments from the public and affected 
agencies. CDC did not receive comments related to the previous notice. 
This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for public and 
affected agency comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (a) 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;
    (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    (d) 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 submission of responses; and
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Direct written comments 
and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice to the 
Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th 
Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide 
written comments within 30 days of notice publication.

Proposed Project

    Templates for Extramural Data Management Plans--New--National 
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Data management plans (DMPs) are required of entities using CDC 
funds to collect or generate public health data. DMPs will be submitted 
to CDC by grant and cooperative agreement awardees for assessment to 
verify that they are concordant with CDC's data sharing policy. 
Currently, CDC does not have a standard template for a DMP. DMPs can be 
a checklist, paragraph, or any other format. Due to this fact, CDC has 
had to refer extramural applicants and recipients to external websites 
for examples on how to construct a DMP. This new ICR is being developed 
by CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion (NCCDPHP) to create standardized templates for DMPs so that 
they will be easier to create, easier to review, better ensure 
compliance with CDC's requirements, and increase the likelihood of 
first-time approval by project officers. DMPs will be submitted as 
standalone sections of the NOFO and annual continuation applications; 
revisions can also be submitted by the awardees whenever needed.
    CDC requests approval for 1033 burden hours annually. There are no 
costs to respondents other than their time.
