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
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Proposed Project
Formative Research to Develop HIV
Social Marketing Campaigns for
Healthcare Providers—New—National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
According to recent estimates,
approximately 1.2 million people are
living with human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) in the United States, and for
the past several years, approximately
50,000 people have been diagnosed
annually. It is well-established that
certain populations are
disproportionately affected by HIV,
including men who have sex with men
(MSM), African Americans, Hispanics/
Latinos, and transgender communities.
In part, to address these health
disparities, CDC first published
guidelines for HIV testing in health care
settings in 2003. CDC updated this
guidance to reflect changes in the
evidence base in 2006. As the
prevention landscape has evolved, so
too has CDC’s guidance for health care
providers. Most recently, CDC
published guidelines for health care
providers on pre-exposure prophylaxis
(PrEP) and recommendations for HIV
prevention with adults and adolescents
with HIV. Despite clear and compelling
guidance from CDC, past studies have
shown that patient-provider
communication about HIV testing and
prevention is uncommon and
conversations that do take place tend to
be brief.
CDC has developed four social
marketing campaigns to support patientprovider communication about HIV.
These campaigns have made great
strides in addressing health care
providers’ information needs, thereby
building their capacity to discuss HIV
prevention with their patients. At this
juncture, particularly with the evolving
HIV prevention landscape, more data
are needed to deepen our understanding
of providers’ interpretation and
understanding of existing and emergent
HIV prevention science; how providers
use guidance or evidence-based
approaches in their practices generally
as well with populations that have been
largely overlooked (e.g., transgender
individuals); and how to develop new
or enrich existing provider materials to
make them more informative, appealing,
and usable.
The three-year study proposes a series
of in-depth interviews with 600
healthcare providers (i.e., physicians,
physician assistants, and nurses)
identified by contractor staff and
professional recruiting firms. Data will
be collected through one-time, hourlong, individual, in-depth interviews
accompanied by a computer-assisted
personal interview (total of 1 hour and
15 minutes per person). We anticipate
screening 1,200 individuals to obtain
600 individuals who will participate in
a 1-hour, in-depth interview and
complete a 15-minute computer-assisted
personal interview (web-based) survey.
All data collections will be conducted
only one time. Respondents who will
participate in these interviews will be
selected purposively to inform the
development of appropriate messaging
and materials for healthcare providers.
Topic areas addressed within the
interviews may include HIV prevention,
HIV treatment, and linkage and referral
to services. Data will be securely stored
on password-protected computers and
in locked file cabinets.
The information gathered through this
data collection will allow CDC to
develop timely, relevant, clear, and
engaging materials that continue to
support patient-provider
communications related to HIV
prevention. Participation of respondents
is voluntary, and there is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 950.

Performance Measures for Discretionary
Grants.
OMB No. 0915–0298—Revision.
Abstract: The Maternal and Child
Health Bureau’s (MCHB) Discretionary
Grant Information System (DGIS)
electronically captures performance
measure, program, financial, and
abstract data, and products and
publications about these discretionary
grants from the grantees. The data
collected are used by MCHB project
officers to monitor and assess grantee
performance as well as assist in
monitoring and evaluating MCHB’s
programs.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA)
proposes to continue using reporting
requirements for grant programs
administered by MCHB, including
national performance measures as
previously approved by OMB, and in
accordance with the ‘‘Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of
1993’’ (Public Law 103–62). This Act
requires the establishment of
measurable goals for federal programs
that can be reported as part of the
budgetary process, thus linking funding
decisions with performance.
Performance measures for MCHB
discretionary grants were initially
approved in January 2003. Approval
from OMB is being sought to continue
the use of performance measures for
these grants. The revised performance
measures are categorized by population
domains (Adolescent Health, Child
Health, Children with Special Health
Care Needs, Lifecourse/Crosscutting,
Maternal/Women Health, and Perinatal/
Infant Health) consistent with Title V,
with the addition of a Capacity Building
domain, specific to DGIS. There are also
program-specific measures included for
a subset of discretionary grant programs
including the Healthy Start program,
Emergency Medical Services for
Children program, and programs within
the Division of MCH Workforce
Development. Grant programs will be
assigned measures in the domains that
are appropriate for their activities.
PO 00000
Frm 00080
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Comments were received related to
structure, content, and volume of
performance measures during the 60day public comment period and those
comments were taken into consideration
in the final revision of the DGIS
performance measures and overall DGIS
data collection.
MCHB’s purpose in revising the
performance measures is to better
measure progress toward program goals.
These program goals include alignment
with and support of the Title V Block
Grant, specifically population domains
and National Performance Measures,
where reasonable. Further, the revised
measures will more accurately capture
the scope of services provided through
this grant funding. The overall number
of performance measures has been
reduced from prior DGIS data
collection, and the average number of
performance measures each grantee will
be required to report is reduced as well.
Further, the structure of the data
collection has been revised to better
measure the various models of programs
and the services each funded program
provides. This revision will allow a
more accurate and detailed picture of
the full scope of services provided grant
programs administered by MCHB. The
data collected are also used by MCHB
project officers to monitor and assess
grantee performance as well as assist in
monitoring and evaluating MCHB’s
programs.
Likely Respondents: Discretionary
grant programs administered by the
Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. 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
