Recommendations
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 371–5983 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC or by fax to (202) 395–6974. Written
comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Model Performance Evaluation
Program (MPEP), Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) MPEP
To support our mission of improving
public health and preventing disease
through continuously improving
laboratory practices, the Model
Performance Evaluation Program
(MPEP), Division of Public Health
Partnerships, Coordinating Center for
Health Information and Services, in
collaboration with the Coordinating
Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention,
intends to provide a new SARSassociated Coronavirus testing Model
Performance Evaluation Program (SARS
MPEP). This program will offer external
performance evaluation (PE) for SARS
antibody (Ab) testing and SARS
Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Reverse
Transcriptase—Polymerase Chain
Reaction (RT–PCR) testing. A SARS
outbreak or epidemic could recur at any
time. Therefore, it is imperative that the
CDC ensure all state public health
department laboratories, Laboratory
Response Network laboratories and
other laboratories designated by CDC
remain proficient in performing SARS
testing. For this reason, it is of critical
public health importance at this time,
that the CDC develop and maintain a
performance evaluation program for
SARS. Participation in PE programs is
expected to lead to improved SARS
testing performance because
participants have the opportunity to
identify areas for improvement which
will help to ensure accurate testing as a
basis for development of SARS
prevention and intervention strategies.
This external quality assessment
program will be made available at no
cost (for receipt of sample panels) to 54
state laboratories. This program will
offer laboratories/testing sites
opportunities for:
(1) assuring that the laboratories/
testing sites are providing accurate tests
through external quality assessment,
(2) improving testing quality through
self-evaluation in a nonregulatory
environment,
(3) testing well characterized samples
from a source outside the test kit
manufacturer,
(4) discovering potential testing
problems so that laboratories/testing
sites can adjust procedures to eliminate
them,
(5) comparing individual laboratory/
testing site results to others at state
level, and
(6) consulting with CDC staff to
discuss testing issues.
Participants in the MPEP SARS will
be required to submit results twice a
year after testing mailed performance
evaluation samples.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
18.

Proposed Project
Nurse-Delivered Risk Reduction
Intervention for HIV–Infected WomenNew-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 (OMB) to administer a
questionnaire and a one-on-one
qualitative interview to HIV-infected
women in the southern United States
who are at risk for further transmission
of the disease. This study is designed to
adapt and evaluate an HIV transmission
prevention intervention for the growing
population of HIV-infected women in
the South and to study factors
associated with risk among women. The
primary outcome will be a reduction in
months a follow-up assessment will be
conducted to compare behavior change.
Six months after the intervention group
has been provided the intervention and
follow-up, women in the comparison
group will receive the intervention. The
assessments will capture information on
demographics, risk behaviors, attitudes,
and knowledge related to HIV/STD
transmission and prevention. Semistructured qualitative interviews will be
conducted with a subgroup of 25–30
young, recently-diagnosed participants
following their participation in the
intervention study. These interviews
will explore behavioral, social, and
contextual conditions that may have
contributed to the women’s risk for HIV
infection and ideas about preventing
other women from becoming infected.
The two behavioral assessments will
take about 1 hour each to complete, the
nurse-delivered intervention will take
about 1 hour to complete, and the
qualitative interviews will take about 2
hours to complete. The screening
interview will take about 10 minutes to
complete. There is no cost to
respondents other than the time it takes
them to participate.
sexual risk behavior as a result of a
brief, nurse-delivered prevention
intervention adapted for use with HIVinfected women in the South. The
project will also conduct in-depth
qualitative interviews of young, recently
HIV-infected women to assess social
and environmental factors that
contribute to behavioral risk for HIV
infection. The project addresses goals of
the CDC HIV Prevention Strategic Plan,
specifically the goal of increasing the
number of HIV-infected persons who are
linked to appropriate prevention, care,
and treatment services. In addition,
information from this research will
inform future prevention interventions
that encompass individual and
contextual factors.
Approximately 550 women will be
screened for eligibility to participate in
the study, and a minimum of 330
women from one or two sites will be
recruited and administered baseline and
follow-up behavioral risk assessments in
a randomized wait-list comparison
design with a 6-month follow-up period.
That is, the intervention and
comparison group will complete an
assessment at the baseline and in 6
