Contractor to provide the Contracting
Officer a request for consent to
subcontract if the contract includes the
clause at FAR 52.244–2, Subcontracts.
d. 52.225–XX(g)(2) requires the
Contractor to provide the Contracting

review when the Government has
reason to believe that a foreign
subcontractor may have violated the
requirements of this clause.
e. 52.225–XX(j)(2) and (j)(3) requires
the Contractor to review the foreign
subcontractor’s health program to
determine if a violation has occurred,
and to consult with the Contracting
Officer prior to terminating the
subcontract or determining other
corrective action is warranted.
C. Annual Burden
Respondents: 253.
Total Annual Responses: 1,089.
Total Burden Hours: 38,992.
D. Public Comment
A 60-day proposed rule was
published within the proposed FAR rule
(2018–002, Protecting Life in Global
Health) in the Federal Register at 85 FR
56549, on September 14, 2020. Some
comments regarding the Paperwork
Reduction Burden were received;
however, it did not change the estimate
of the burden.
Comment: The proposed rule
provided an estimate of the public
reporting burden for required
information collection of nearly 39,000
total response burden hours. Please
provide the assumptions and
methodology used in calculating this
estimate.

Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
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 The GAIN (Greater Access and
Impact with NAT) Study: Improving
HIV Diagnosis, Linkage to Care, and
Prevention Services with HIV Point-ofCare Nucleic Acid Tests (NATs). GAIN
is an implementation study to compare
a point-of-care nucleic acid HIV test
(HIV RNA POC NAT) to standard labbased HIV testing.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before February 19,
2021.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2020–

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;

disproportionately affected populations,
and provide opportunities to approach
the goal of no new HIV infections. The
purpose of this research is to develop
feasible and effective models for using
HIV POC NATs to: (1) Improve PrEP
initiation, and duration of PrEP use,
among persons at high-risk for acquiring
HIV infection; and (2) reduce the time
between testing in community-based
and clinical-based settings and linkage
to HIV care, ART initiation, and viral
suppression.
GAIN is an implementation study to
compare a point-of-care nucleic acid
HIV test (HIV RNA POC NAT) to
standard lab-based HIV testing. Study
activities include: 1. Retrospective
baseline data collection from clinical
site electronic medical records. This
will establish baseline PrEP and HIV
care metrics for comparison after study
implementation; 2. A longitudinal,
prospective study of HIV-negative
patients seeking HIV testing and/or PrEP
services; 3. A longitudinal, prospective
study of HIV-positive patients seeking
STI testing; 4. An RCT of POC NAT or
Standard of Care for HIV-positive
patients; 5. A survey, interviews, and
focus groups examining POC NAT
acceptability among HIV-negative and
HIV-positive patients; 6. A crosssectional comparison of several pointof-care NATs among HIV-positive
patients; 7. Acceptability/feasibility
assessment among clinical and
community providers and costing
analyses. These data will be analyzed
and disseminated to describe the realworld performance and clinical effects
of HIV RNA POC NAT testing
technology. This study will develop
functional models to integrate HIV RNA
POC NAT testing technology into HIV
prevention and treatment services.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.

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
The GAIN (Greater Access and Impact
with NAT) Study: Improving HIV
Diagnosis, Linkage to Care, and
Prevention Services with HIV Point-ofCare Nucleic Acid Tests (NATs)—
NEW—National Center for HIV/AIDS,
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Current rapid point-of-care (POC) HIV
testing technologies do not reliably
detect the earliest HIV infections and
lab-based testing can introduce delays
while patients wait for test results.
During this time, patients can drop out
of care and remain at high-risk to
acquire HIV. Direct molecular detection
of HIV through nucleic acid tests
(NATs) can identify early HIV
infections, which have high potential
for transmission. NATs that are used at
the point-of-care (POC NAT) can
provide results in 60 to 90 minutes.
Obtaining timely molecular test results
from a POC NAT in clinics or
community settings can expand
prevention as well as HIV treatment
services, improve our reach into
