Background and Brief Description
This project seeks to establish
feasibility of collecting behavioral
practices and performing rapid HIV
tests. Such opportunities enable CDC to
develop risk reduction interventions
that are appropriate for the attendees of
special events that attract persons who
may be at high risk for HIV infection but
who do not access the other services in
their community. This collection
consists of behavioral assessments and
rapid HIV testing at a variety of events
serving different minority and hard-toreach populations at high risk for
acquiring or transmitting HIV infection.
A single protocol and one research
agenda will be used in all settings.
This project will address the
increasing rates of HIV infection among
African Americans and men who have
sex with men as well as the need for
early detection and linkage to health
care for HIV-infected persons. The
proposed project addresses ‘‘Healthy
People 2010’’ priority area(s) of
identifying new HIV infections and is in
alignment with NCHHSTP performance
goal(s) to strengthen the national
capacity to monitor the epidemic,
develop and implement effective HIV
prevention interventions, and evaluate
prevention programs. A secondary
purpose of BART is to decrease stigma
associated with testing by increasing
awareness, visibility and acceptability
of public rapid testing programs.
A randomized convenience sample
will be used to select attendees at (1)
Gay Pride; (2) Minority Gay Pride; (3)
black spring break; and (4) cultural and
social events attracting large numbers of
African Americans. Trained
interviewers will select and approach
event attendees. A screener
questionnaire will be used to determine
participation eligibility and obtain oral
consent. Approximately 7,000
individuals will be approached to
participate in the BART interview each
year and participate in a two minute
screener interview. Approximately
5,600 individuals are expected to be
eligible and participate in BART
interview each year. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project
Energy Employees Occupational
Illness Compensation Program Act
(EEOICPA), Dose Reconstruction
Interviews and Forms, OMB No. 0920–
0530—Reinstatement—The National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC),
Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS).
Background and Brief Description
On October 30, 2000, the Energy
Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act of 2000 (42
U.S.C. 7384–7385) was enacted. This
Act established a federal compensation
program for employees of the
Department of Energy (DOE) and certain
of its contractors, subcontractors and
vendors, who have suffered cancers and
other designated illnesses as a result of
exposures sustained in the production
and testing of nuclear weapons.
Executive Order 13179, issued on
December 7, 2000, delegated authorities
assigned to ‘‘the President’’ under the
Act to the Departments of Labor (DOL),
Health and Human Services, Energy and
Justice. The Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) was delegated
the responsibility of establishing
methods for estimating radiation doses
received by eligible claimants with
cancer applying for compensation.
NIOSH is applying the following
methods to estimate the radiation doses
of individuals applying for
compensation.
In performance of its dose
reconstruction responsibilities, under
the Act, NIOSH is providing voluntary
interview opportunities to claimants (or
their survivors) individually and
providing them with the opportunity to
assist NIOSH in documenting the work
history of the employee by
characterizing the actual work tasks
performed. In addition, NIOSH and the
claimant may identify incidents that
may have resulted in undocumented
radiation exposures, characterizing
radiological protection and monitoring
practices, and identify co-workers and
other witnesses as may be necessary to
confirm undocumented information. In
this process, NIOSH uses a computer
assisted telephone interview (CATI)
system, which allows interviews to be
conducted more efficiently and quickly
as opposed to a paper-based interview
instrument. Both interviews are
voluntary and failure to participate in
either or both interviews will not have
a negative effect on the claim, although
voluntary participation may assist the
claimant by adding important
information that may not be otherwise
available.
NIOSH uses the data collected in this
process to complete an individual dose
reconstruction that accounts, as fully as
possible, for the radiation dose incurred
by the employee in the line of duty for
DOE nuclear weapons production
programs. After dose reconstruction,
NIOSH also performs a brief, voluntary
final interview with the claimant to
explain the results and to allow the
claimant to confirm or question the
records NIOSH has compiled. This will
also be the final opportunity for the
claimant to supplement the dose
reconstruction record.
At the conclusion of the dose
reconstruction process, the claimant
submits a form to confirm that the
claimant has no further information to
provide to NIOSH about the claim at
this time. The form notifies the claimant
that signing the form allows NIOSH to
forward a dose reconstruction report to
DOL and to the claimant, and closes the
record on data used for the dose
reconstruction. Signing this form does
not indicate that the claimant agrees
with the outcome of the dose
reconstruction. The dose reconstruction
results will be supplied to the claimant
and to the DOL, the agency that will
utilize them as one part of its
determination of whether the claimant
is eligible for compensation under the
Act.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 4,900.
