OFR is responsible for the stewardship of these funds while providing excellent, professional services to our partners and stakeholders. Currently, CDC uses the Performance Progress and Monitoring Report (PPMR) (OMB Control No. 0920-1132), as a set of progress reporting forms for non-research awards to collect information from Awardees regarding the progress made over specified time periods on CDC funded projects. The PPMR was originally modified from SF-PPR (OMB Control No. 0970-0406), a similar progress report that was owned by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The PPMR was created by CDC to provide an agency-wide collection tool that would be able to obtain data on the progress of CDC Awardees for the purposes of evaluation, and to bring the Awardee reporting procedure into compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The information collected enables the accurate, reliable, uniform, and timely submission to CDC of each Awardee's work plans and progress reports, including strategies, activities and performance measures. The information collected by the PPMR is designed to align with, and support the goals outlined for each of the CDC Awardees. Collection and reporting of the information will occur in an efficient, standardized, and user-friendly manner that will generate a variety of routine and customizable reports. The PPMR will allow each Awardee to summarize activities and progress towards meeting performance measures and goals over a specified time period specific to each award. CDC will also have the capacity to generate reports that describe activities across multiple Awardees. In addition, CDC will use the information collection to respond to inquiries from HHS, Congress and other stakeholder inquiries about program activities and their impact. The current submission process allows Awardees to submit a completed PDF version of the PPMR by uploading it to <E T="03">www.grants.gov,</E> or by submitting directly to the programs at CDC that will be performing the evaluation. This Extension request is being submitted to allow CDC to continue collection of this valuable information from Awardees for an additional three years. There are no anticipated changes to the information collection instruments or associated burden at this time. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 12,996 annual burden hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. <GPOTABLE COLS="5" OPTS="L2,i1" CDEF="s50,r100,12,12,12"> <TTITLE>Estimated Annual Burden Hours</TTITLE> <CHED H="1"> Type of respondents </CHED> <CHED H="1">Form name</CHED> <ENT>Performance Progress and Monitoring Report (PPMR)—Att.
