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.

In December 2000, the President delegated
responsibility for funding, staffing, and
operating the Board to HHS, which
subsequently delegated this authority to the
CDC. NIOSH implements this responsibility
for CDC. The charter was issued on August
3, 2001, and renewed on August 3, 2003.
Purpose: This board is charged with (a)
providing advice to the Secretary, HHS on
the development of guidelines under
Executive Order 13179; (b) providing advice
to the Secretary, HHS on the scientific
validity and quality of dose reconstruction
efforts performed for this Program; and (c)
