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.
Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for the Collection
of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery (OMB Control No.
0920–1027, Exp. 7/31/2020)—
Revision—National Center for HIV/
AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP). Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a three-year
revision to Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery (OMB Control
No. 0920–1027, Exp. 7/31/2020). During
the past three-year approval period,
seven GenICs consisting of 13,574

respondents were submitted for review
and approval. The collections included
web-based surveys, focus groups, and
program assessments. The information
collection activities conducted under
this revision will continue to garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery.
Qualitative feedback is information
that provides useful insights on
perceptions and opinions, but are not
statistical surveys that yield quantitative
results that can be generalized to the
population of study. This feedback will
provide insights into customer or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences
and expectations, provide an early
warning of issues with service, or focus
attention on areas where
communication, training, or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative,
and actionable communications
between the Agency and its customers
and stakeholders. It will also allow
feedback to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
This type of generic clearance for
qualitative information will not be used
for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address: The target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
Respondents will be screened and
selected from individuals and
households, businesses, organizations,
and/or State, Local or Tribal
Governments. Below we provide CDC’s
projected annualized estimate for the
next three years. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
estimated annualized burden hours for
this data collection activity are 9,690.

Proposed Project
Promoting Adolescent Health through
School-Based HIV/STD Prevention
Reporting Templates—New—Division
of Adolescent and School Health
(DASH), National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
PS18–1807 Promoting Adolescent
Health through School-Based HIV/STD
Prevention was awarded August 1, 2018
with a five year project period. It is
funded through the Division of
Adolescent and School Health.
Health behaviors during adolescence
set the stage for behaviors and health
into adulthood. In 2017, 40% of high
school students in the US had never had
sexual intercourse and 29% were
currently sexually active. Among
currently sexually active students, 46%
did not use a condom, and 14% did not
use any method to prevent pregnancy
the last time they had sexual
intercourse. In 2016, young people aged
13–24 accounted for an estimated 21%
of all new HIV diagnoses in the United
States. Half of the nearly 20 million new
STDs reported each year were among
young people aged 15–24.
Schools have direct contact with over
50 million students for at least six hours
a day over 13 key years of their social,
physical, and intellectual development.
Schools can help understand and
