This justification supports an
extension of OMB Control No. 9000–
0029. This clearance covers the
information that contractors must
submit to comply with the following
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
requirements:
FAR 50.103–3, Contract Adjustment.
FAR 50.103–3 specifies the minimum
information that a contractor must
include when seeking a contract
adjustment that would facilitate the
national defense, as set forth in Public
Law 85–804. The request, normally a
letter, shall state as a minimum—
(1) The precise adjustment requested;
(2) The essential facts, summarized
chronologically in narrative form;
(3) The contractor’s conclusions based
on these facts, showing, in terms of the
considerations set forth in FAR 50.103–
1 and 50.103–2, when the contractor
considers itself entitled to the
adjustment; and
(4) Whether or not—
(i) All obligations under the contracts
involved have been discharged;
(ii) Final payment under the contracts
involved has been made;
(iii) Any proceeds from the request
will be subject to assignment or other
transfer, and to whom; and
(iv) The contractor has sought the
same, or a similar or related, adjustment
from the Government Accountability
Office or any other part of the
Government, or anticipates doing so.
If the request exceeds the simplified
acquisition threshold, the contractor
must certify that the request is made in
good faith and the data are accurate and
complete.
FAR 50.103–4, Facts and Evidence.
FAR 50.103–4 sets forth additional
information that the contracting officer
or other agency official may request
from the contractor to support any
request made under FAR 50.103–3.
FAR 50.104–3 Special Procedures for
Unusually Hazardous or Nuclear Risks.
FAR 50.104–3 provides the information
a contractor shall submit to the
contracting officer when requesting the
inclusion of the indemnification clause
for unusually hazardous or nuclear risks
at FAR 52.250–1.
FAR 52.250–1, Indemnification Under
Public Law 85–804. This clause allows
contractors to be indemnified against
unusually hazardous or nuclear risks.
Paragraph (g) requires the contractor to
promptly notify the contracting officer

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;
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.

Project teams will conduct brief
standardized quantitative interviews
and anonymous HIV blood-based rapid
testing and supplemental testing to
those who participate in quantitative
data collection to assess HIV
seroprevalence. The data from the
quantitative interviews will provide
estimates of: (1) Behavior related to the
risk of HIV and other sexually
transmitted diseases, (2) prior testing for
HIV, and (3) use of HIV prevention
services. HIV screening results will be
made available to participants, and
those with preliminary positive test
results will be linked to HIV care.
Qualitative data collection includes key
informant interviews with community
members and professionals familiar
with the population and focus groups to
interpret standardized quantitative
findings and inform grantee-developed
recommendations for state/local public
health partners. The data from
qualitative interviews will be used to
interpret standardized quantitative
findings and inform recipient-developed
recommendations for state and local
public health authorities. No other
federal agency collects this type of
information in the populations at high
risk in these selected geographic areas
using mixed methods of quantitative
and qualitative interviews.
CDC estimates that during
quantitative interviewing, 1338
individuals will complete the
quantitative base eligibility screener,
1204 will complete the quantitative
population eligibility screener, and 338
will be either not interested or
ineligible, yielding a total of 1,000
eligible respondents over a 12-month
period. Because HIV testing is a clinical
procedure, it is not included in the
burden estimates. For qualitative data
collection, approximately 96
individuals will complete the eligibility
screener, 16 of the respondents will be
either not interested in completing a
qualitative interview, or will be
ineligible, yielding a total of 80 eligible
respondents over a 12-month period.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 497 annual burden hours.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary, and there are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project
National HIV Behavioral Surveillance:
Brief HIV Bio-behavioral Assessment
(NHBS–BHBA)—New—National Center
for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this data collection is
to monitor behaviors of populations at
high risk for Human Immunodeficiency
Virus (HIV) infection using mixedmethods in selected geographic areas in
the United States which lack
biobehavioral data related to HIV
transmission and prevention.
Preventing HIV, especially among
populations at high risk, is an effective
strategy for reducing individual, local,
and national healthcare costs. The
utility of this information is to provide
CDC and health department staff with
data for evaluating progress towards
state public health goals, such as
reducing new HIV infections, increasing
the use of condoms, and focusing on
populations at high risk by describing
and monitoring the HIV risk behaviors,
HIV seroprevalence and incidence, and
HIV prevention experiences of persons
at highest risk for HIV infection. Data
will be systematically collected using
mixed methods of quantitative and
qualitative interviews. Brief screening
interviews will be used to determine
eligibility for participation in the
quantitative and qualitative interviews.

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The compilation of national vital
statistics dates back to the beginning of
the 20th Century and has been

PO 00000

Frm 00046

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

conducted since 1960 by the Division of
Vital Statistics of the National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), CDC. The
collection of this data is authorized by
42 U.S.C. 242k, and this submission
requests to continue use of the Annual
Vital Statistics Report Form for
collection of annual marriage and
divorce/annulment summary statistics
for three years. Additionally, this
Revision requests to discontinue the
Monthly Vital Statistics Report, which
is currently used to provide counts of
monthly occurrences of births, deaths,
and infant deaths. The collection of the
provisional birth and death data is now
being achieved on a more timely,
ongoing basis which negates the need to
continue to use the monthly form.
Continued use of the Annual Vital
Statistics Report Form collects final
annual counts of marriages and divorces
by month for the United States and for
each State. These final counts are
usually available from State or county
officials about eight months after the
end of the data year. The data are
widely used by the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), and
other government, academic, private
research, and commercial organizations
in tracking changes in trends of family
formation and dissolution. Respondents
for the Annual Vital Statistics Reports
Form are registration officials in all 50
States, seven U.S. Territories, including
American Samoa, Guam, Northern
Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Virgin
Islands, the District of Columbia, and
New York City, as well as the 33 local
(county clerk) officials in New Mexico
who record marriages occurring and
divorces and annulments granted in
each county of New Mexico.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 46 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time to participate.
