and Evaluation—New—National Center
for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and
TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) partners with the
national HIV prevention workforce to
(1) ensure that persons with HIV (PWH)
are aware of their infection and
successfully linked to medical care and
treatment to achieve viral suppression
and (2) expand access to pre-exposure
prophylaxis (PrEP), condoms, and other
proven strategies for persons at risk of
becoming infected. CDC funds state and
local health departments and
community-based organizations (CBOs)
to optimally plan, integrate, implement,
and sustain comprehensive HIV
prevention programs and services for
people with and at greatest risk of HIV
infection, including blacks/African
Americans; Hispanics/Latinos; all races/
ethnicities of gay, bisexual, and other
men who have sex with men (MSM);
people who inject drugs (PWID); and
transgender persons.
Through the CDC cooperative
agreement program entitled CDC–RFA–
PS19–1904: Capacity Building
Assistance (CBA) for High Impact HIV
Prevention Program Integration, the
CDC Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention
(DHAP) funds the CBA Provider
Network (CPN) to deliver CBA to CDCfunded health departments and CBOs.
CBA provided by the CPN include
trainings and technical assistance (TA)
that enable the HIV prevention
workforce to optimally plan, implement,
integrate, and sustain high-impact
prevention interventions and strategies
to reduce HIV infections and HIVrelated morbidity, mortality, and health
disparities across the United States and
its territories. This information
collection evaluates CDC–RFA–PS19–
1904. Specifically, the CDC is requesting
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to grant a three-year approval to
collect data through the use of four webbased instruments that will be

under PS19–1904. The TTAFS will be
administered to the program managers
of state and local health department
staff and CBO staff who participate in a
CBA training or TA event. Respondents
will provide information electronically
through an online survey. The option to
complete surveys via a telephone
interview will be offered to respondents
who do not complete the online survey
within seven days.
The number of respondents is
calculated based on an average of the
number of health professionals,
including doctors, nurses, health
educators, and disease intervention
specialists, trained by CBA providers
during the years 2016–2018. We
estimate 3,800 health professionals will
provide one response for the Learning
Group Registration; 3,800 health
professionals will provide a response for
the PTE for each training episode; 3,650
health professionals will provide a
response for the PTAE for each TA
episode; and 189 program managers will
provide two responses to the TTAFS in
the web-based or telephone survey per
year. The total annualized burden is
1,671 hours. There are no other costs to
respondents other than their time.
The information collected will allow
CDC to:
(1) Identify and respond to public
health program performance issues
identified through feedback from health
departments and CBOs;
(2) Identify and respond to new HIV
prevention training and TA needs of
health departments and CBOs;
(3) Provide a timely and accurate
response to federal, state, and local
agencies and other stakeholders seeking
information about the types and quality
of CBA services delivered. No other
federal agency collects this type of
national HIV prevention capacity
building data.
CDC is requesting approval for an
estimated 1,671 burden hours annually.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

administered to recipients of CBA
services and their program managers: (1)
Learning Group Registration; (2) PostTraining Evaluation (PTE); (3) PostTechnical Assistance Evaluation
(PTAE); and (4) Training and Technical
Assistance Follow-up Survey (TTAFS).
CBA training participants will
complete the Learning Group
Registration Form as part of the process
for enrolling in a CBA training. The
Learning Group Registration Form
collects demographic information about
training participants including: (1)
Business contact information (e.g., email
and telephone number); (2) primary
[employment] functional role; (3)
employment setting; and (4)
programmatic and population areas of
focus. After an online or in-person
training event is completed, training
participants are invited to complete the
PTE. The PTE is designed to elicit
information from training participants
about their satisfaction with the training
delivery method and course content.
Similar to the PTE, the PTAE consists
of questions designed to elicit
information from TA participants about
their satisfaction with aspects of TA
such as the relevance of the materials
provided or created, responsiveness of
the TA provider, TA participants’
changes in knowledge or skills as a
result of the TA, and barriers and
facilitators to implementation of
interventions/public health strategies.
The TTAFS collects organizational-level
data every 6 months from the program
managers within CDC-funded programs.
Program managers provide information
about the implementation status of the
intervention/public health strategy for
which their staff received training and/
or TA. Program managers are also asked
to describe how their organization
applied the training and TA (e.g.,
planning or adapting an intervention/
public health strategy).
The Learning Group Registration
Form, PTE, and PTAE will be
administered to CDC-funded program
staff who participate in a training or TA
event offered by a CBA provider funded

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as

amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on ‘‘utilization of health care’’
in the United States. The National
Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care
Survey (NHAMCS) has been conducted
annually since 1992. NCHS is seeking
OMB approval to extend this survey for
an additional three years.
The target universe of the NHAMCS is
in-person visits made to emergency
departments (EDs) of non-Federal, shortstay hospitals (hospitals with an average
length of stay of less than 30 days) that
have at least 6 beds for inpatient use,
and with a specialty of general (medical
or surgical) or children’s general.
NHAMCS was initiated to
complement the National Ambulatory
Medical Care Survey (NAMCS, OMB
No. 0920–0234, Exp. Date 05/31/2022),
which provides similar data concerning
patient visits to physicians’ offices.
NAMCS and NHAMCS are the principal
sources of data on ambulatory care
provided in the United States. NHAMCS
provides a range of baseline data on the
characteristics of the users and
providers of hospital ambulatory
medical care. Data collected include
patients’ demographic characteristics,
reason(s) for visit, providers’ diagnoses,
diagnostic services, medications, and
disposition. These data, together with
trend data, may be used to monitor the
effects of change in the health care
system, for the planning of health
services, improving medical education,
determining health care work force
needs, and assessing the health status of
the population.
Starting 2018, NHAMCS was
modified to assess only hospital
emergency departments. The survey
components that assessed hospital
outpatient departments and ambulatory
surgery locations were discontinued. No
substantive changes or supplements are
expected for the survey for the three
years being requested.
Users of NHAMCS data include, but
are not limited to, congressional offices,
Federal agencies, state and local
governments, schools of public health,
colleges and universities, private
industry, nonprofit foundations,
professional associations, clinicians,
researchers, administrators, and health
planners. There are no costs to the
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 1,124.
