Proposed Project
HIV Prevention Program Evaluation
and Monitoring System for Health
Departments and Community-Based
Organizations (PEMS)—Reinstatement
(0920–0696)—National Center for HIV,
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This is an extension of a data
collection that is being incrementally
implemented. The initial PEMS OMB
request was approved October 6, 2005
for one year. However, delays in the
development of the data collection
software and requests by grantees for
additional time to modify their data
collection procedures have prevented
the initial data collection originally
anticipated for 2006.
The purpose of this data collection is
to collect HIV prevention evaluation
data from health department and
community-based organization (CBO)
grantees using the electronic Program
Evaluation and Monitoring System
(PEMS). This data collection
incorporates data elements from two
previously approved data collections:
Evaluating CDC Funded Health
Department HIV Prevention Programs,
OMB No. 0920–0497 (discontinued 4/
31/2006); and Assessing the
Effectiveness of CBOs for the Delivery of
HIV Prevention Programs, OMB No.
0920–0525 (discontinued 12/17/2004).
Per HIV prevention cooperative
agreements, CDC requires nonidentifying, client-level, standardized
evaluation data from health department
and CBO grantees to: (1) More
accurately determine the extent to
which HIV prevention efforts have been
carried out, what types of agencies are
providing services, what resources are
allocated to those services, to whom
services are being provided, and how
these efforts have contributed to a
reduction in HIV transmission; (2)
improve ease of reporting to better meet
these data needs; and (3) be accountable
to stakeholders by informing them of
efforts made and use of funds in HIV
prevention nationwide.
Although CDC receives evaluation
data from grantees, the data received to
date is insufficient for evaluation and
accountability. Furthermore, there has
not been standardization of required
evaluation data from both health
departments and CBOs. Changes to the
E:\FR\FM\21NON1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 224 / Tuesday, November 21, 2006 / Notices
evaluation and reporting process have
become necessary to ensure CDC
receives standardized, accurate,
thorough evaluation data from both
health department and CBO grantees.
For these reasons, CDC developed PEMS
and consulted with representatives from
health departments, CBOs, and national
partners (e.g., The National Alliance of
State and Territorial AIDS Directors,
Urban Coalition of HIV/AIDS
Prevention Services, and National
Minority AIDS Council).
Respondents will collect, enter, and
report general agency information,
program model and budget data, and
client demographics and behavioral
characteristics. (After initial set-up of
the PEMS, data collection will include
searching existing data sources,
gathering and maintaining data,
document compilation, review of data,
and data entry into the web-based
system.) Agents will submit data
quarterly. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
