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
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

prevent adolescent risk for HIV, STD
and teen pregnancy. Schools play an
important role in HIV/STD prevention.
Schools can influence students’ risk for
HIV infection and other STD through
parental engagement, health education,
connection to physical and mental
health services, and connecting youth to
each other and important adults.
The PS18–1807 award supports
implementation of activities at multiple
levels of the education system to
achieve health goals. School curricula,
policies, and services are generally
locally determined by local education
agencies (LEA), or local school districts,
with guidance from state education
agencies (SEA). LEA and SEA both
provide training, resources, and
technical assistance to schools. SEA
establish supportive state environments
for local decision making about school
policies and practices. LEA support
implementation of school-based
strategies through district level actions
and decisions. Recognizing the
importance of locally tailoring
approaches, PS18–1807 uses priority
schools within a district, or LEA, as a
natural laboratory for working through
program implementation details before
scaling up—or diffusing—activities to
all schools in a district. This approach
supports close connections with
decision-makers responsible for
educational options and school
environments at each of these levels.
Additional support from organizations
with specialized expertise and capacity
for national reach will be used to
increase the impact of SEA and LEA
strategies. They provide a range of
highly trained experts for professional
development and technical assistance to
advance HIV/STD prevention work.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention requests a three-year OMB
approval to conduct three information

STD prevention efforts conducted by
local education agencies (LEA) funded
by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, Division of Adolescent and
School Health under Component 2 of
PS18–1807 Promoting Adolescent
Health through School-Based HIV/STD
Prevention. This data collection will
provide DASH with data to generate
internal reports that will identify
successful and problematic
programmatic areas. In addition, both
information collections will allow
DASH to determine if recipient agencies
are completing the required activities of
the NOFO on time, as well as
identifying problems in
implementation. With this information,
DASH can ascertain if additional
technical assistance is needed to help
recipients improve their program
implementation, if necessary. In
addition, the findings will allow CDC to
determine the potential impact of
currently recommended strategies and
make changes to those
recommendations if necessary. The
reporting template will include sections
on the following topics: sexual health
education (SHE), sexual health services
(SHS), safe and supportive
environments (SSE) required and
additional activities. No personally
identifiable information will be
collected.
The estimated burden per response
ranges from eight hours for Component
1 to 14 hours for Component 2.
Recipients will complete the reporting
templates every six months and the
work plan templates once a year under
this approval. Annualizing the
collection over one year results in an
estimated annualized burden of 3,320
hours for respondents. There are no
costs to respondents other than their
time.

collections entitled, Promoting
Adolescent Health through SchoolBased HIV/STD Prevention Reporting
Templates. There are separate templates
and work plans for Component 1
reporting and for Component 2
reporting. Eighty (80) sites will be filling
out the Component 1 reporting template
and work plan; twenty-five (25) sites
will be filling out the Component 2
reporting template and work plans
(required programmatic activities work
plan and professional development
work plan).
The Component 1 information
collection uses a self-administered
reporting template to assess surveillance
activities conducted by recipient
education and health agencies funded
by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, Division of Adolescent and
School Health under Component 1 of
PS18–1807 Promoting Adolescent
Health through School-Based HIV/STD
Prevention. This data collection will
provide DASH with data to generate
internal reports that will identify
successful and problematic surveillance
areas. In addition, the information
collection will allow DASH to
determine if recipient agencies are
completing the required activities of the
NOFO on time, as well as identifying
problems in implementation. With this
information, DASH can ascertain if
additional technical assistance is
needed to help recipients improve their
surveillance implementation, if
necessary. The reporting template will
include questions on the following
topics: Youth Risk Behavior Survey
completion and School Health Profiles
(Profiles) completion. No personally
identifiable information will be
collected.
The Component 2 information
collection uses a self-administered
reporting template to assess HIV and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services policy stipulates that
committee membership be balanced in
terms of points of view represented, and
the committee’s function. Appointments
shall be made without discrimination
on the basis of age, race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity, HIV status, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic
status. Nominees must be U.S. citizens,
and cannot be full-time employees of
the U.S. Government. Current
participation on federal workgroups or
prior experience serving on a federal
advisory committee does not disqualify
a candidate; however, HHS policy is to
avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple
committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government
Employees (SGEs), requiring the filing
of financial disclosure reports at the
beginning and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates
for NIOSH BSC membership each year,
and provides a slate of nominees for
consideration to the Secretary of HHS
for final selection. HHS notifies selected
candidates of their appointment near
the start of the term in January 2021, or
as soon as the HHS selection process is
completed. Note that the need for
different expertise varies from year to
year and a candidate who is not selected
in one year may be reconsidered in a
subsequent year. SGE nominees must be
U.S. citizens, and cannot be full-time
employees of the U.S. Government.
Candidates should submit the following
items:
D Current curriculum vitae, including
complete contact information
(telephone numbers, mailing address,
email address)
D Cover letter, including a description
of the candidate qualifications and
why the candidate would be a good fit
for the BSC
D At least one letter of recommendation
from person(s) not employed by the
U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services. (Candidates may
submit letter(s) from current HHS
employees if they wish, but at least
one letter must be submitted by a
person not employed by an HHS
agency (e.g., CDC, NIH, FDA, etc.).
Nominations may be submitted by the
candidate him- or herself, or by the
person/organization recommending the
candidate. The Director, Strategic
Business Initiatives Unit, Office of the
Chief Operating Officer, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, has
