Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 100 / Thursday, May 24, 2007 / Notices
Office of the Secretary (OS), Department
of Health and Human Services, is
publishing the following summary of a
proposed collection for public
comment. Interested persons are invited
to send comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any
of the following subjects: (1) The
necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper
performance of the agency’s functions;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision.
Title of Information Collection:
Development of an Evaluation Protocol
for Assessing Impacts of OMH State
Initiatives.
Form/OMB No.: 0990–0275.
Use: This request for clearance
involves modification of the OMB
approved Office of Minority Health
(OMH) Uniform Data Set (UDS) (OMB
No. 0990–0275). The UDS is the regular
system for reporting program
management and performance data for
all OMH-funded activities. The
modifications to the UDS requested in
this application are intended to: (1)
Accommodate grant programs that were
not required to use the UDS at the time
the system was developed; and (2)
continue the development of the UDS as
a reporting system that will capture the
types of data needed to identify best
practices and assess the progress of
OMH-funded activities. The UDS has
been implemented with 8 sets of
grantees and cooperative agreement
partners from 5 OMH funding programs.
The recommended modifications will
allow reporting by OMH partners
receiving funding through the State
Initiative and Umbrella Cooperative
Agreement programs. These changes
will improve OMH evaluation and
planning capacities and support
program accountability.
Frequency: Reporting Semi-annually.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit
institutions.
Annual Number of Respondents: 150.
Total Annual Responses: 2.
Average Burden per Response: 4.5
hours.

Proposed Project
Testing of Sexual Violence Definitions
and Recommended Data Elements in
Three Different Racial/Ethnic Minority
Communities -New-National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). The data collection
methodology will be conducted in two
phases. The first phase consists of 36 inperson cognitive interviews conducted
with women of African American,
Hispanic, or American Indian descent.
To assess the effectiveness and
appropriateness of questions in the
sexual violence survey instrument, we
will conduct a series of 12 cognitive
interviews with adult women from each
of these minority groups (for a total of
36 interviews). Cognitive interviewing
offers a structured methodology for
ascertaining whether the respondent has
understood the questions in the way the
researchers intend them to be
understood, and to assess the ability of
the respondents to provide meaningful,
accurate, and honest information. A
secondary purpose is to make sure that
issues pertinent to the research goals are
covered adequately.
The second phase of data collection
(‘‘main data collection’’) will entail 200
in-person interviews with women in
each of the minority groups to develop
an estimate of sexual violence
prevalence within these three
communities and describe the
characteristics of sexual violence within
each community.
Background and Brief Description
This study examines the definitions of
sexual violence in three racial/ethnic
minority communities: AfricanAmerican, American Indian, and
Hispanic. The purpose of this project is
to develop an understanding of sexual
violence in these communities. The
developed survey will include the
following: Projecting estimates of sexual
violence; describing the type of sexual
violence; and developing a strategy that
will increase awareness of sexual
violence in minority communities. In
addition, this project will establish the
groundwork for similar future research.
This research builds on findings from
the National Violence against Women
Survey (NVAW) (OMB No. 1121–0188;
expiration 5/1998), a joint research
effort funded by the (CDC) and National
Institute of Justice (NIJ) that explored
