Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 and
send comments to Seleda Perryman,
CDC Assistant Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS–D74,
Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail to
[email protected].
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information

System (NVSS), depends on a
cooperative relationship between the
States and the Federal Government.
This data collection, authorized by 42
U.S.C. 242k, has been carried out by
NCHS since it was created in 1960.
NCHS assists in achieving the
comparability needed for combining
data from all States into national
statistics, by conducting a training
program for State and local vital
statistics staff to assist in developing
expertise in all aspects of vital
registration and vital statistics. The
training offered under this program
includes courses for registration staff,
statisticians, and coding specialists, all
designed to bring about a high degree of
uniformity and quality in the data
provided by the States. This training
program is authorized by 42 U.S.C.
242b, section 304(a). In order to offer the
types of training that would be most
useful to vital registration staff
members, NCHS requests information
from State and local vital registration
officials about their projected needs for
training. NCHS also asks individual
candidates for training to submit an
application form containing name,
address, occupation, work experience,
education, and previous training. These
data enable NCHS to determine those
individuals whose needs can best be
met through the available training
resources. NCHS is requesting 3 years of
OMB clearance for this project. There is
no cost to respondents in providing
these data.

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; and (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. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this
notice.

Background and Brief Description
In the United States, legal authority
for the registration of vital events, i.e.,
births, deaths, marriages, divorces, fetal
deaths, and induced terminations of
pregnancy, resides individually with the
States (as well as cities in the case of
New York City and Washington, DC)
and Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
Guam, American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands. These governmental entities are
the full legal proprietors of vital records
and the information contained therein.
As a result of this State authority, the
collection of registration-based vital
statistics at the national level, referred
to as the U.S. National Vital Statistics

table below are shown annualized over
the 3 year period for this project.) About
2025 women, recruited directly from the
selected venues (e.g. health clinics,
beauty salons, laundromats, etc.) and by
word of mouth using a respondentdriven sampling (RDS) approach, will
be asked to complete a 10-minute
eligibility screening interview. We
estimate that 80% of screened women
will be eligible for our study. Among the
estimated 1620 eligible women about
270 women are anticipated to decline
participation in the study. To get a
better understanding of the reasons for
declining participation, those 270
women will be asked to complete a 10minute questionnaire. The remaining
1350 eligible participants (850 African
American and 500 Hispanic) that are at
risk for HIV infection will be enrolled.
They will respond to a one-time, 45minute computerized questionnaire
capturing information on demographic,
psychological, behavioral, sociocultural,
and environmental/contextual
dimensions relevant for understanding
risk for contracting HIV infection. They
will also receive rapid oral HIV testing
and counseling. The HIV counseling
and testing will take an additional 45
minutes to complete. Each woman will
receive 10-minute RDS training on how
they can tell other women in their social
networks about the study. A sub-sample
of 40 African American and 20 Hispanic
women (n = 60) will also take part in
separate qualitative interviews. The onehour qualitative interview will be
scheduled for a different day that is
convenient for the women.
The total response burden for the
three-year period is estimated to be
2711.25 hours (904 annualized burden
hours). There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project
An assessment of the determinants of
HIV risk factors for African-American
and Hispanic women in the
southeastern United States—New—The

TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for

Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
administer a questionnaire and rapid
oral test for HIV in heterosexual African
American and Hispanic women at three
sites in the southeastern United States.
This proposed data collection will occur
over 3 years.
This study is designed to assess risk
factors for HIV infection in these women
and addresses goals of CDC’s ‘‘HIV
Prevention Strategic Plan Through
2005’’. CDC plans to meet specific goals
by (1) decreasing the number of women
at high risk of acquiring or transmitting
HIV infection; (2) increasing the
proportion of HIV-infected women who
know they are infected; (3) increasing
the number of HIV-infected women who
are linked to appropriate prevention,
care, and treatment services; and (4)
strengthening the capacity nationwide
to monitor the HIV epidemic. In
addition, project data will provide
important epidemiologic information
useful for the development and targeting
of future HIV prevention activities.
To identify recruitment venues, 250
African American and 125 Hispanic
women (n = 375) will be recruited to
take part in an anonymous one-time 3minute intercept interview. (Data on the
