[60-Day-12–0822]

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
52.203–7, Anti-Kickback Procedures,
requires that all contractors have in
place and follow reasonable procedures
designed to prevent and detect in its
own operations and direct business
relationships, violations of section 3 of
the Anti-Kickback Act of 1986 (41
U.S.C. 51–58). Whenever prime
contractors or subcontractors have
reasonable grounds to believe that a
violation of section 3 of the Act may
have occurred, they are required to
report the possible violation in writing
to the contracting agency inspector
general, the head of the contracting
agency if an agency does not have an
inspector general, or the Department of
Justice. The information is used to
determine if any violations of section 3
of the Act have occurred.
There is no Governmentwide data
collection process or system which
identifies the number of alleged
violations to the Anti-Kickback Act of
1986 (41 U.S.C. 51–58) that are reported
annually to agency inspectors general,
the heads of the contracting agency if an
agency does not have an inspector
general, or the Department of Justice. To
date, no public comments or questions
have been received regarding the burden
estimates included in the currently
approved clearance.

Proposed Project
National Intimate Partner and Sexual
Violence Surveillance System (0920–
0822, Expiration 11/30/2013)—
Revision—National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The health burden of Intimate Partner
Violence (IPV), Sexual Violence (SV)
and stalking are substantial. In 2010, the
National Intimate Partner and Sexual
Violence Surveillance System (NISVSS)
reported that approximately 6.9 million
women and 5.6 million men
experienced rape, physical violence
and/or stalking by an intimate partner
within the last year. The health care
costs of IPV exceed $5.8 billion each
year, nearly $3.9 billion of which is for
direct medical and mental health care
services.

Sexual violence also has a profound
and long-term impact on the physical
and mental health of the victim.
Existing estimates of lifetime
experiences of rape range from 15% to
36% for females. Sexual violence
against men, although less prevalent, is
also a public health problem;
approximately, 1 in 5 women and 1 in
71 men have experienced attempted,
completed or alcohol or drug facilitated
rape at some point in their lifetime.
Nearly 1.3 million women reported
being raped in the past 12 months.
Nearly 1 in 3 women and 1 in 10 men
in the United States have experienced
rape, physical violence and/or stalking
by an intimate partner and reported at
least one impact related to experiencing
these or other forms of violent behavior
within the relationship (e.g., being
fearful, concerned for safety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
symptoms, need for health care, injury,
contacting a crisis hotline, need for
housing services, need for victim’s
advocate services, need for legal
services, missed at least one day of work
or school).
NISVSS 2010 data indicates that
approximately 5 million women and 1.4
million men in the United States are
stalked in the 12 months prior to the
survey. There are overlaps between
stalking and other forms of violence in
intimate relationships; approximately
14% of females who were stalked by an
intimate partner in their lifetime also
experienced physical violence by an
intimate partner; while 12% of female
victims experienced rape, physical
violence and stalking by a current or
former intimate partner in their lifetime.
Furthermore, 76% of female victims of
intimate partner homicides were stalked
by their partners before they were
killed.
In order to address this important
public health problem, CDC
implemented, beginning in 2010, the
National Intimate Partner and Sexual
Violence Surveillance System that
produces national and state level
estimates of IPV, SV and Stalking on an
annual basis. In 2010, a total of 16,507
completed interviews were conducted
among English and/or Spanish speaking
male and female adults (18 years and
older) living in the United States.
CDC proposes a revision to the
currently approved data collection
instrument, by conducting a one-year
pilot study using a newly revised
instrument during the calendar year of
2013. The changes to the instrument are
twofold: First, the current NISVSS
survey instrument has been shortened
in efforts to develop a core instrument
that will be administered on an annual

basis. Second, topic specific modules
contain questions to produce data that
are needed on a regular basis but are not
needed annually. Each individual topic
specific modules will be administered
in addition to the core survey on a
revolving annual schedule. The goals of
the revised data collection instrument
are to: (1) Improve NISVSS data quality,

1,800) while the average burden per
surveyed respondent is 25 minutes
(total burden in hours equals 4,166).
The survey will be conducted among
English or Spanish speaking male and
female adults (18 years and older) living
in the United States. There are no costs
to respondents to participate other than
their time.

(2) increase our response rates, (3)
decrease the breakoff rates, (4) and to
reduce the burden on the respondents.
In this period of field testing, a total
of 36,000 households will be screened.
After determining eligibility and
consent, 10,000 will complete the
survey. The average burden per
screened respondent remains at 3
minutes (total burden in hours equals

Prevention Research Centers Program
National Evaluation Reporting System
(OMB No. 0920–0650, exp. 6/30/2013)—
Revision—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Prevention Research Centers
(PRC) Program was established by
Congress through the Health Promotion
and Disease Prevention Amendments of
1984. CDC manages the PRC Program
and currently provides funding to PRC
grantees that are housed within schools
of public health, medicine or
osteopathy. Awards are made for five
years and may be renewed through a
competitive application process. PRCs
conduct outcomes-oriented health
promotion and disease prevention
research on a broad range of topics
using a multi-disciplinary and
community-based approach. Research
projects involve state and local health
departments, health care providers,
universities, community partners, and
other organizations. PRCs collaborate
with external partners to assess
community health priorities; identify
research priorities; set research agendas;

conduct research projects and related
activities such as training and technical
assistance; and disseminate research
results to public health practitioners,
researchers, and the general public.
Each PRC receives an approximately
equal amount of funding from CDC to
establish its core capacity and support
a core research project as well as
training and evaluation activities.
Research foci reflect each PRC’s area of
expertise and the needs of the
community. Health disparities and goals
outlined in Healthy People 2020 are a
particular emphasis for most PRC core
research.
CDC is currently approved to collect
performance information from PRCs
through a web-based survey and
telephone interview (OMB #0920–0650,
exp. 6/30/2013). The web-based survey
is designed to collect information on the
PRCs’ collaborations with health
departments; formal training programs
and other training activities; and other
funded prevention research projects
conducted separately from their core
research. A structured telephone
interview with a key PRC informant
obtains information on systems and
environmental changes in which PRCs
are involved. The content of the
information collection is guided by a set
of performance indicators developed
(2002) and later revised (2009) in
collaboration with the PRCs.
CDC will request OMB approval to
continue collecting performance
information from PRCs for three years,
with some changes. In this revision,
CDC requests OMB approval to (1)
continue using a web-based survey and
telephone interview for data collection,
(2) change the platform of the web-based
