Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled Capacity Building Assistance Program: Data
Management, Monitoring, and Evaluation to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a
``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations'' notice on January 28, 2020 to obtain comments from
the public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive comments related
to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30
days for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) 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 submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
Capacity Building Assistance Program: Data Management, Monitoring,
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
[[Page 46632]]
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 CDC-
funded 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 HIV-related 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 web-based instruments that will be
administered to recipients of CBA services and their program managers:
(1) Learning Group Registration; (2) Post-Training Evaluation (PTE);
(3) Post-Technical 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 six
months from the program managers within CDC-funded programs. Program
managers provide information about the implementation status of the
intervention/public heath 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 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 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.
The total annualized burden is 1,671 hours. There are no other
costs to respondents other than their time.
