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 OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review

the collection of information; and to

information.
Proposed Project
DELTA FOCUS Program Evaluation—
Reinstatement with change—National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a
serious, preventable public health
problem that affects millions of
Americans and results in serious
consequences for victims, families, and
communities. IPV occurs between two
people in a close relationship. The term
‘‘intimate partner’’ describes physical,
sexual, or psychological harm by a
current or former partner or spouse. IPV
can impact health in many ways,
including long-term health problems,
emotional impacts, and links to negative
health behaviors. IPV exists along a
continuum from a single episode of
violence to ongoing battering; many
victims do not report IPV to police,
friends, or family.
The purpose of the DELTA FOCUS
(Domestic Violence Prevention
Enhancement and Leadership Through
Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for
Communities United with States)
program is to promote the prevention of
IPV through the implementation and
evaluation of strategies that create a
foundation for the development of
practice-based evidence. By
emphasizing primary prevention, this
program will support comprehensive
and coordinated approaches to IPV
prevention. Each State Domestic
Violence Coalition (SDVC) is required to
identify and fund one to two wellorganized, broad-based, active local
coalitions (referred to as coordinated
community responses or CCRs) that are
already engaging in, or are at capacity to
engage in, IPV primary prevention
strategies affecting the structural
determinants of health at the societal
and/or community levels of the social
ecological model. SDVCs must facilitate
and support local-level implementation
and hire empowerment evaluators to
support the evaluation of IPV
prevention strategies by the CCRs.
SDVCs must also implement and with
their empowerment evaluators, evaluate
state-level IPV prevention strategies.
CDC seeks a one-year OMB approval
to collect information electronically
from awardees, their CCRs and their
empowerment evaluators. Information
will be collected using the DELTA
FOCUS Program Evaluation Survey
(referred to as DF Survey). The DF

survey will collect information about
SDVCs satisfaction with CDC efforts to
support them; process, program and
strategy implementation factors that
affect their ability to meet the

requirements of the Funding
Opportunity Announcement; prevention
knowledge and use of the public health
approach; and sustainability of
prevention activities and successes.

Participation in the information
collection is required as a condition of
funding. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project
Improving Fetal Alcohol Spectrum
Disorders Prevention and Practice
through Practice and Implementation
Centers and National Partnerships—
New—National Center on Birth Defects
and Developmental Disabilities
(NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Center on Birth Defects
and Developmental Disabilities seeks to
collect training evaluation data from
healthcare practitioners and staff in
health systems where FASD-related
practice and systems changes are
implemented, and from grantees of
Practice and Implementation Centers
and national partner organizations

related to prevention, identification, and
treatment of fetal alcohol spectrum
disorders (FASDs).
Prenatal exposure to alcohol is a
leading preventable cause of birth
defects and developmental disabilities.
The term ‘‘fetal alcohol spectrum
disorders’’ describes the full continuum
of effects that can occur in an individual
exposed to alcohol in utero. These
effects include physical, mental,
behavioral, and learning disabilities. All
of these have lifelong implications.
The purpose of this program is to
expand previous efforts from FASD
training programs and shift the
perspective from individual training for
practicing healthcare professionals to
one that capitalizes on prevention
opportunities and the ability to impact
health care practice at the systems level.
Since 2002, CDC funded FASD
Regional Training Centers (RTCs) to
provide education and training to
healthcare professionals and students
about FASD prevention, identification,
and treatment. In July 2013, CDC
convened an expert review panel to
evaluate the effectiveness of the RTC
program overall and to make
recommendations about the program.
The panel highlighted several
accomplishments of the RTCs and
proposed several changes for future
programming: (1) The panel identified a
need for more comprehensive coverage
nationally with discipline-specific
trainings, increased use of technology,
greater collaboration with medical
societies, and stronger linkages with
national partner organizations to
increase the reach of training
opportunities, and (2) The panel
suggested that the training centers focus
on demonstrable practice change and
