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.
Currently there are 3,192
burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is now requesting to
increase this ceiling to 9,576 total burden hours. The increase of
6,384 hours is due to the following: 1) The inclusion of both
clinicians and clients in our "respondent" calculations; 2) The
program adjustment of 20,000 respondents/2,660 burden hours is due
to a recalculation of the actual number of respondents receiving a
rapid HIV test and the inclusion of 1,333 retested respondents/532
burden hours. The 1,333 retested respondents and 532 burden hours
reflects one third of the re-test population; 3) The program change
of 40,000 respondents/5,320 burden hours is due to the addition of
eleven 2011 MAI-TCE grantees and a program change increase of 2,667
respondents/1,064 burden hours to be retested for the 11 new
grantees. The 2,667 retested respondents and 1,064 burden hours
reflects two-thirds of the re-test population highlighted; and 4)
4000 respondents, on average, per year will be retested to ensure
that a read of this submission is transparently clear.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
