total labor cost associated with the HSR
Rules and the Notification and Report
Form is approximately $73,505,650
(156,395 hours × $470/hour).
Estimated annual non-labor cost
burden: $0 or minimal.
The applicable requirements impose
minimal start-up costs, as businesses
subject to the HSR Rules generally have
or obtain necessary equipment for other
business purposes. Staff believes that
the above requirements necessitate
ongoing, regular training so that covered
entities stay current and have a clear
understanding of federal mandates, but
that this would be a small portion of
and subsumed within the ordinary
training that employees receive apart
from that associated with the
information collected under the HSR
Rules and the corresponding
Notification and Report Form.
William Blumenthal,
General Counsel.

SUMMARY: This program is authorized by

The mission of the Office on Women’s
Health (OWH) is to promote the health
of women and girls through genderspecific approaches. To that end, OWH
has established public/private
partnerships to address critical women’s
health issues nationwide. These include
supporting collaborative efforts to
provide accurate prevention education
to rural women living in the rural1
south2 rural South. The emphasis of
these efforts is on educational and
prevention counseling covering the full
spectrum of primary and secondary

prevention adapted to a female centered
perspective. This initiative is intended
to demonstrate a collaborative
partnership approach between the
grantee and local health or social service
providers, e.g., community health
centers, rural health centers, family
planning clinics, the Special
Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants and Children (WIC),
community based organizations, faith
based organizations, public assistance
programs and local health departments.
The partnership is expected to be a
viable strategy for identifying and
educating rural women in a culturally
appropriate manner that reduces denial,
demystifies stigma, clarifies inaccuarate
information, and increases knowledge
for self-protection and access to
counseling and testing resources. It is
expected that the prevention education
model will provide accurate, culturally,
and linguistically appropriate
information to women at risk for or
living with HIV/AIDS in the rural south.
Funding will be directed at activities
designed to improve the delivery of
services to women disproportionately
impacted by HIV/AIDS.
I. Funding Opportunity Description
The primary purpose of this OWH
HIV/AIDS program is to increase HIV
prevention knowledge and reduce the
risk of contracting HIV among minority
women living in the rural south. The
goals for this program are:
Develop and sustain HIV prevention
services to increase awareness of and
receptivity to HIV prevention, including the
ABC 3—Abstinence, Being Faithful, Correct
and Consistent use of Condoms model,
among women living in rural communities in
the south experiencing high rates of HIV
infection within female populations.
Develop gender specific education and
prevention training modules on critical HIV/
AIDS primary and secondary prevention/
education information. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention recommended
effective interventions may be used as well
as adapted interventions which demonstrate
core elements of interventions with evidence
of effectiveness.4
Implement education and prevention
training modules that are culturally and
linguistically appropriate for women living
in rural communities in the south.

The OWH hopes to fulfill this purpose
by providing funding to targeted
community-based organizations to
enhance their prevention and support
activities to women living in the rural
south experiencing high rates of HIV
infection. The proposed program must
address false HIV information, stigma,
denial, knowledge, self-protection
behaviors and the importance of
knowing one’s seropositive status. A
gender specific approach shall be an
integral element of the selected
intervention. Information and services
provided must be culturally and
linguistically appropriate for the
individuals for whom the information
and services are intended. Women’s
health issues are defined in the context
of women’s lives, including their
multiple social roles and the importance
of relationships with other people to
their lives. This definition of women’s
health encompasses mental, dental, and
physical health and spans the life
course.
The objectives of the OWH program
are to:
1. Increase knowledge of accurate HIV
prevention information among women
living in rural communities in the
south.
2. Improve and increase access to
quality HIV prevention services to
women living with or at high risk for
HIV infection in rural communities in
the south.
3. Improve receptivity to and
awareness of HIV prevention education
necessary to reduce the stigma among
women in rural south communities.
4. Increase the number of women
living in the rural south voluntarily
receiving HIV testing.
In order to achieve the objectives of
the program the grantee shall: (1)
Establish partnership(s) with local
entities after reviewing city/county/
State data on HIV incidence among
women populations, exploring
challenges and trends which enable
risks and vulnerabilities of women
living in rural south communities. (2)
Develop and implement a gender
specific model ‘‘education and
prevention counseling’’ program to
provide accurate prevention education
to women living in the rural south.
Culture, language, and sub-cultures of
rural south populations are
considerations for appropriate program
components. (3) Develop or select use of
existing prevention education training
modules on critical HIV/AIDS primary
and secondary prevention and
education information. (4) Establish
Memoranda of Understanding with local
health care entities, social services, local
small businesses, community and faith
