Collaboration for Prevention and Treatment Improvement for AIANs at
Risk for Substance Use and HIV/AID, (MIA) Rapid HIV Testing
Clinical Information Form
New
collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
The data on the MAI Rapid HIV Testing
Clinical Information Form will be used to collect clinical
information that can be used for quality assurance, quality
performance, and product monitoring. The form does not require
patient specific information to be collected from parties
participating in the MAI program. The form is designed to inform
SAMHSA that the HIV Rapid Test Kits are reaching their intended
audience, as many communities have expressed an interest in
acquiring these no cost test kits to assist them in informing and
protecting their citizens. The information that we require, will
also serve to justify the use of Federal funds to benefit the
American Indian/Alaska Native community.
It was originally
thought that the clinical information to be collected using the MAI
HIV Rapid Testing Clinical Information Form was clinical exempt
information associated with the testing of biological fluids. As a
result, almost 20,000 test kits were received in June 2008 with a 6
month expiration date. It has now been determined that the MAI HIV
Rapid Testing Clinical Information Form requires OMB approval. In
order to provide American Indian and Alaska Native communities
immediate access to these critical Rapid HIV tests, which are
inextricably linked to status determination, and to avoid future
loss to the government of the almost 20,000 previously purchased
Rapid Test Kits, SAMHSA is requesting an emergency approval of the
MAI HIV Rapid Testing Clinical Information Form. Given the history,
SAMHSA could not have anticipated the need for this information any
earlier. Even with an emergency OMB clearance, the timeline is
extremely short for completing the information gathering and taking
all other needed steps to provide approximately 50,000 no cost
Rapid HIV Test to American Indian and Alaska Native
communities.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
