for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–371–5983 and
send comments to Seleda Perryman,
CDC Assistant Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS–D74,
Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail to
omb@cdc.gov.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
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.

be received within 60 days of this

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

Proposed Project
2005 Business Responds to AIDS
(BRTA) Survey—New—National Center
for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Business Responds to AIDS
(BRTA) program is a partnership among
CDC, business, labor, and the public
health sector that began in 1992. The
purpose of the program is to encourage
businesses to implement HIV/AIDS
policies and education programs in the
workplace. CDC is requesting a 3-year
approval from OMB to administer a
survey to business owners or human
resource directors to assess business
practices and policies relating to HIV/

delegated to the Secretary of Health and
Human Services (HHS), on a variety of policy

AIDS in the workplace. This proposed
data collection will incorporate some
questions, but will be a shorter version,
from a previously approved data
collection, ‘‘Business Responds to AIDS
Benchmark Study,’’ OMB No. 0920–
0359, which expired on January 31,
1996.
The target population for the 2005
survey will be private-sector worksites
employing 15 or more individuals and
operating in the United States at the
time of the survey. Selected worksites
will be able to respond to the survey by
telephone or electronically through the
internet. An introductory letter
describing the BRTA program and the
survey will be mailed to each selected
worksite two weeks prior to
implementation of the actual survey.
The initial point of contact at the
worksites is expected to be the business
owner for smaller sites and the human
resources director for larger sites. This
individual will be asked to either
complete the interview or provide an
appropriate referral within the
company. CDC anticipates that
information from the survey will allow
the agency to revise and strengthen the
objectives and strategies of the BRTA
program in an effort to support business
practices and policies related to HIV/
AIDS.
There is no cost to respondents
participate in the survey 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 African-American 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 empowerment interventions to reduce risk for HIV infection.
A focus group will be conducted with eight women (who are screened

in the southeast United State with high prevalence of HIV and other
sexually transmitted diseases. A subset of these women will participate
