General Description of Collection:
Assets held by the FDIC in the course
of liquidating any covered financial
company must not be sold to persons
who contributed to the demise of a
covered financial company in specified
ways (e.g., individuals who profited or
engaged in wrongdoing at the expense
of the failed institution, or seriously
mismanaged the failed institution). 12
CFR part 380 requires prospective
purchasers to complete and submit a
Purchaser Eligibility Certification
(‘‘PEC’’) to the FDIC. The PEC is a selfcertification by a prospective purchaser
that it does not fall into any of the
categories of individuals or entities that
are prohibited by statute or regulation
from purchasing the assets of covered
financial companies. The PEC will be
required in connection with the sale of
assets by the FDIC, as receiver for a CFC,
or the sale of assets by a BFC which
requires the approval of the FDIC, as
receiver for the predecessor CFC and as
the sole shareholder of the BFC.
There is no change in the method or
substance of the collection. The number
of respondents and the hours per
response remain the same.
Request for Comment
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the collections of information are
necessary for the proper performance of
the FDIC’s functions, including whether
the information has practical utility; (b)
the accuracy of the estimates of the
burden of the information collections,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collections of information
on respondents, including through the

Proposed Project
HIV Outpatient Study (HOPS) (OMB
Control Number 0920–1080, Expiration,
8/31/2018)—Revision—National Center
for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and
TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC requests a three-year
approval and a revision to the HIV
Outpatient Study data collection
activity. The HIV Outpatient Study
(HOPS) is a prospective longitudinal

obesity, diabetes) and antiretroviral drug
resistance.
Researchers will collect data through
medical record abstraction by trained
abstractors and by telephone or Internet
based, computer-assisted interviews at
eight funded study sites in six U.S.
cities. Collection of data abstracted from
patient medical records provides data in
five general categories: Demographics
and risk behaviors for HIV infection;
symptoms; diagnosed conditions
(definitive and presumptive);
medications prescribed (including dose,
duration, and reasons for stopping); all
laboratory values, including CD4+
Tlymphocyte (CD4+) cell counts,
plasma HIV–RNA determinations, and
genotype, phenotype, and trophile
results. Researchers will acquire data on
visit frequency, AIDS, and death from
the clinic chart. Data collected using a
brief Telephone Audio-Computer
Assisted Self-Interview (T–ACASI)
survey or an identical Web-based
Audio-Computer Assisted SelfInterview (ACASI) include: Age, sex at
birth, use of alcohol and drugs, cigarette
smoking, adherence to antiretroviral
medications, types of sexual
intercourse, condom use, and disclosure
of HIV status to partners.
We anticipate the annual recruitment
of 450 new HOPS study participants
into the HOPS from a pool of HIVinfected individuals currently in HIVcare at nine clinics (50 patients per site).
Researchers will approach patients
during one of the patients’ routine clinic
visits to participate in the HOPS.
Researchers will give patients interested
in participating in the HOPS detailed
information about the nature of the
study and provide them with a written
informed consent form that the patient
must complete prior to enrollment.
Annually, the researchers will add the
450 newly enrolled participants to the
database of existing participants.
Researchers will conduct medical
record abstractions and will not impose
direct burden on HOPS study
participants.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.

cohort of HIV-infected outpatients at
eight well-established private HIV care
practices and university-based U.S.
clinics, in Tampa, Florida; Washington,
DC; Stony Brook, New York; Chicago,
Illinois; Denver, Colorado; and
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Researchers
abstract clinical data on an ongoing
basis from the medical records of adult
HIV-infected HOPS study participants,
who also complete an optional
telephone/Web-based behavioral
assessment as part of their annual clinic
visit, which on average takes about
seven minutes. Before enrolling in this
study, all potential study participants
will undergo an informed consent
process (including signing of a written
informed consent), which is estimated
to take 15 minutes.
The revisions consist of adding 12
additional survey questions to assess
additional risk behaviors that may affect
the long-term care and treatment of HIV
positive patients participating in the
HIV Outpatient Study. Based on review
of the current survey response items and
the average completion time, these new
questions will not pose additional
burden on participants.
The core areas of HOPS research
extending through the present HIV
treatment era include: (i) Monitoring
death rates and causes of death; (ii)
characterizing the optimal patient
management strategies to reduce HIV
related morbidity and mortality (e.g.,
effectiveness of antiretroviral therapies
and other clinical interventions); (iii)
monitoring of sexual and drug use
behaviors to inform Prevention with
Positives; and (iv) investigating
disparities in the HIV care continuum
by various demographic factors.
In recent years, the HOPS has been
instrumental in bringing attention to
emerging issues in chronic HIV
infection with actionable opportunities
for prevention, including cardiovascular
disease, fragility fractures, renal and
hepatic disease, and cancers. The HOPS
remains an important source for multiyear trend data concerning conditions
and behaviors for which data are not
readily available elsewhere, to include:
Rates of opportunistic illnesses, rates of
comorbid conditions (e.g., hypertension,

Proposed Project
A Novel Framework for Structuring
Industry-Tuned Public-Private
Partnerships and Economic Incentives
for U.S. Health Emergency Preparedness
and Response—New—Office of Public
Health Preparedness and Response
(OPHPR), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Despite the important role of publicprivate partnerships in supporting the
US’s public health preparedness and
response mission, many partnership
efforts are not successful due to poorly
aligned incentives or lack of awareness
of external market factors. There is little
research or information on private
sector incentive structures and
partnership opportunities and barriers
specific to public health preparedness
and response. This study will evaluate
the effectiveness of public-private
partnership incentives from the
perspective of private sector industries
within the public health preparedness
and response space.
Study activities include the following:
(1) Identification of public-private
partnership incentives and target
industries for public health
preparedness and response; (2)
interviews with industry leaders (in
person or via telephone) to identify
related public health emergency
preparedness activities and partnership
opportunities and barriers; (3) survey of
private sector organization managers
using on-line technology (Qualtrics) on
key issues and attractiveness of
partnership opportunities and
incentives; and (4) framework
development to identify partnership
target organizations, opportunities, and
incentives to promote public health
emergency preparedness capabilities.
CDC proposes to collect information
from the private industry leaders in the
public health preparedness and
response space to accomplish this goal.
The information collection project is
composed of two parts: (1) Interviews
and (2) an on-line general survey. The

PO 00000

Frm 00036

Sfmt 4703

targeted interviews will seek
respondents in the following eight
sectors: Pharmaceutical/life sciences
(n=8), health IT/mobile (n=8), retailers/
distributors (n=6), academia/research
organization (n=6), hospital/healthcare
provider (n=5), health insurance (n=4),
logistics/transportation (n=4), and
charitable organization/foundation
(n=4). The interview questions and the
information collected will vary
significantly across the different sectors.
The survey portion of the information
collection consists of a larger survey
administered to 200 individuals to reach
a total sample population of 100
(assuming a 50% response rate). CDC
will conduct the interviews and
administer the survey only one time to
each individual respondent. CDC plans
to conduct interviews and surveys
within six months after OMB approval.
Members of the research team will
conduct the interviews. CDC will
administer the surveys using the secure
online software Qualtrics, and
respondents will receive an email with
a unique link that will direct them to
the Qualtrics survey platform. The
research team will then transfer data to
CDC’s preferred Secure File Transfer
Protocol (SFTP) client for secure storage
and access. After this transfer, CDC will
destroy all copies of the data that reside
outside of the SFTP. Only the research
team will have access to the interview
transcripts and survey responses that
will link responses to personally
identifiable information. Researchers
will use locked file cabinets to store
securely, any printed or hand-written
documents containing personal
identifiable information. Once scanned
or otherwise transferred into electronic
files (which will also be transferred to
the SFTP client), researchers will
appropriately destroy the information.
Only the research team will have
access to the SFTP, which will require
the user to enter a host address,
username, password and port number.
Any information removed from the
SFTP client to be shared with outside
parties will be presented in aggregated
and de-identified form, unless otherwise
compelled by law. CDC will retain and
destroy all records in accordance with
the applicable CDC Records Control
Schedule.
OPHPR is requesting an approval
period of one year to collect this
information. There is no cost to
respondents other than the time to
participate. The total estimated annual
burden hours is 70 hours. A summary
of annualized burden hours is below.
