AGENCY:

The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on a
proposed information collection project
titled ‘‘HIV prevention among Latina
transgender women: Evaluation of a
locally developed intervention’’. The
collection is part of a research study
designed to evaluate the efficacy of a
locally developed and culturally
congruent two-session Spanish-language
small-group intervention, ChiCAS
(Chicas Creando Acceso a la Salud
[Chicas: Girls Creating Access to
Health]), which provides combination
HIV prevention services to adult
Hispanic/Latina transgender women at
high risk for HIV infection.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before October 22,
2018.
You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2018–
0063 by any of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal:
Regulations.gov. Follow the instructions
for submitting comments.
• Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of

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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

locally developed intervention—New—
National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STED, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC)
Background and Brief Description
The National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention
is requesting approval for 20-months of
data collection entitled, ‘‘HIV
prevention among Latina transgender
women: Evaluation of a locally
developed intervention.’’ The goal of
this study is to evaluate the efficacy of
ChiCAS (Chicas Creando Acceso a la
Salud [Chicas: Girls Creating Access to
Health]), a locally developed and
culturally congruent two-session
Spanish-language small-group
combination intervention designed to
promote consistent condom use, and
access to and participation in preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and
medically supervised hormone therapy
by HIV seronegative Hispanic/Latina
transgender women who have sex with
men.
The information collected through
this study will be used to evaluate
whether the ChiCAS intervention is an
effective HIV-prevention strategy by
assessing whether exposure to the
intervention results in improvements in
participants’ health and HIV prevention
behaviors. The study will compare pre(baseline) and post-intervention (sixmonth) levels of HIV risk among
participants who have received the
intervention and participants who have

not yet received the intervention
(delayed-intervention group).
This study will be carried out in five
metropolitan areas in North Carolina:
Ashville, NC; Charlotte, NC; Research
Triangle (metropolitan area of
Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High
Point NC); Raleigh, NC; and
Wilmington, NC. The study population
will include 140 HIV-negative Spanishspeaking transgender women.
Participants will be adults, at least 18
years of age, self-identify as male-tofemale transgender or report having
been born male and identifying as
female, and report having sex with at
least one man in the past six months.
We anticipate participants will be
comprised mainly of racial/ethnic
minority participants under 35 years of
age, consistent with the epidemiology of
HIV infection among transgender
women.
Intervention participants will be
recruited to the study through a
combination of approaches, including
traditional print advertisement, referral,
in-person outreach, and through word of
mouth. A quantitative assessment will
be used to collect information for this
study, which will be delivered at the
time of study enrollment and again at
six-month follow up. The assessment
will be used to measure differences in
sexual risk knowledge, perceptions and
behaviors including condom use, PrEP
use and use of medically supervised
hormone therapy.
Intervention mediators, including
healthcare provider trust and
communication skills, self-reported

health status and healthcare access,
community attachment and social
support will also be measured. All
participants will complete the
assessment at baseline and again at sixmonth follow-up after enrolling in the
study. The intervention group will
participate in ChiCAS after completing
the baseline assessment and the delayed
intervention group will participate in
ChiCAS after completing the six-month
follow up assessment.
We will also examine intervention
experiences through in-depth interviews
with 30 intervention group participants.
The interviews will capture
participants’ general experiences with
the ChiCAS intervention, as well as
their experiences and perceptions
specific to the main study outcomes:
PrEP knowledge, awareness, interest
and use; condom skills and use; and
hormone therapy knowledge,
awareness, interest and use.
It is expected that 50% of transgender
women screened will meet study
eligibility. We expect the initial
screening to take approximately four
minutes to complete. The assessment
will take 60 minutes (one hour) to
complete and will be administered to
140 participants a total of two times.
The interview will take 90 minutes (one
and one-half hours) to complete and
will be administered to 30 participants
from the intervention group one time.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours is
172.
