Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 139 / Thursday, July 21, 2005 / Notices
about adverse reproductive and/or
developmental health effects associated
with exposure to environmental and/or
occupational exposures. Expert panels
conduct scientific evaluations of agents
selected by the CERHR in public
forums.
The CERHR invites the nomination of
agents for review or scientists for its
expert registry. Information about
CERHR and the nomination process can
be obtained from its Web site (https://
cerhr.niehs.nih.gov) or by contacting Dr.
Shelby (see ADDRESSES above). The
CERHR selects chemicals for evaluation
based upon several factors including
production volume, potential for human
exposure from use and occurrence in
the environment, extent of public
concern, and extent of data from
reproductive and developmental
toxicity studies.
CERHR follows a formal, multi-step
process for review and evaluation of
selected chemicals. The formal
evaluation process was published in the
Federal Register notice July 16, 2001
(Vol. 66, No. 136, pp 37047–37048) and
is available on the CERHR Web site
under ‘‘About CERHR’’ or in printed
copy from the CERHR.

40 hotlines into one Consumer
Response Services Center—CDC–INFO.
CDC–INFO has an exceptionally wide
scope because content currently divided
between over 40 hotlines handling
nearly 2,000,000 telephone contacts
annually will be consolidated under
CDC–INFO. All CDC hotlines will be
consolidated in one center beginning in
February 2005, with all CDC program
areas transitioning into CDC–INFO
through a phased approach during the
next three years. CDC–INFO itself will
be operational for at least the next seven
years.
The primary objectives of the national
evaluation are to (1) Proactively
evaluate customer interactions and
service effectiveness by employing
assessment measures and data
collection mechanisms to support
performance management, gathering
insights and understandings for
improving service levels, and
implementing effective measures to
meet customer satisfaction goals; (2)
develop an ongoing understanding of
customer requirements and satisfaction
trends to achieve best of practice quality
standards and to provide qualitative
assessments, quantitative data, and cost
factors to drive improvement and
reinforce operational objectives; (3)
measure CDC–INFO contractor service
performance to assist in determining
whether performance incentives have
been achieved; and (4) to collect data in
order to address public concern and
response to emergencies, outbreaks, and
media events.
Sample size, respondent burden, and
intrusiveness have been minimized to
be consistent with national evaluation
objectives. Procedures will be employed
to safeguard the privacy and
confidentiality of participants. Pilot
tests assisted in controlling burden and
ensuring the user-relevance of
questions. The following table shows
the estimated annualized burden for
data collection. There are no respondent
costs other than the amount of time
required to respond to the survey.

of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have

Background and Brief Description
CDC is launching an integrated ‘‘one
face to the public’’ approach across all
communication channels to handle
inquiries concerning a broad spectrum
of public health topics. The overall
objective is to ensure consistent, timely,
reliable health information for
dissemination to a variety of consumers
(public, health professionals,
researchers, etc.) and to address
variations in inquiry volumes related to
public health emergencies, news events,
and dynamic, shifting public health
priorities. The CDC has integrated over

empowerment interventions to reduce
risk for HIV infection.
A focus group will be conducted with
eight women (who are screened for
eligibility) in each of the four
communities (a total of 32 women) in
the southeast United State with high
prevalence of HIV and other sexually
transmitted diseases. A subset of these
women will participate in individual
interviews. Another focus group will
include community leaders in each of
the four communities (a total of 32
individuals). The focus groups will
capture demographic information,
attitudes, and knowledge regarding
income-generating activities that are
feasible (can be done with small
capitalization and by these women with
some training and other preparation),
attractive (women will do this work),
and useful (likely to produce income to
address a reasonable proportion of
economic need; the community will use
the service or purchase the product of
the activity).
The subset of focus group participants
who also participate in individual
interviews (five women in each of the
four communities, with a maximum of
20 individual interviews) will respond
to more personal questions. The semistructured individual interviews will
explore behavioral, social, and
economic conditions that might
contribute to risk for HIV infection.
The focus groups and interviews will
take about two hours each to complete.
A screening interview for women
participants will take about 10 minutes
to complete. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project
Micro-Finance Project for HIV
Prevention—New—National Center for
HIV, STD and TB Prevention (NCHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a 3-year approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget to conduct focus groups and
administer a one-on-one qualitative
interview to women who are at risk for
HIV infection and community leaders in
four communities in the southeastern
United States.
The purpose of this project is to
conduct formative research to determine
the most realistic and efficacious
approach for developing a micro-finance
project to reduce HIV/STD-related risk
behavior among unemployed or
underemployed high-risk AfricanAmerican women in the southeastern
United States, who are among those
most at risk for HIV infection in the
country. The project addresses goals of
the CDC HIV Prevention Strategic Plan,’’
specifically the goal of decreasing the
number of persons at high risk of
acquiring or transmitting HIV infection.
Information from this project will
inform the development of economic
