agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (the PRA), Federal agencies
are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information, and
to allow 60 days for public comment in
response to the notice. This notice
solicits comments on the information
collection requirements relating to State
Annual Long-Term Care Ombudsman
Report and Instructions for Older
Americans Act Title VII.
DATES: Submit written or electronic
comments on the collection of
information by April 20, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic
comments on the collection of
information to: sue.wheaton@aoa.gov.
Submit written comments on the
collection of information to:
Administration on Aging, Washington,
DC 20201. Attention: Sue Wheaton.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sue
Wheaton, by telephone: (202) 357–3587
or by e-mail: sue.wheaton@aoa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency request
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, AoA is publishing notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following collection
of information, AoA invites comments
on: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of AoA’s functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
AoA’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
Under section 712(c), and section
712(h)(1)–(3) of the Older Americans
Act, as amended, states are required to
provide information on ombudsmen
activities to AoA, which AoA is then
required to present to Congress. The
reporting system, the National
Ombudsman Reporting System (NORS),
was developed in response to these
directives and other needs pertaining to
the Long Term Care Ombudsman
Program and approved by the Office of
Management and Budget for use for the
first time in FY 1995–96; it was
extended a second time with slight
modifications for use in FY 1997–2001
and extended for the third time with no
change for use from FY 2002–2006. It
was extended, with modifications, a
fourth time for use from FY 2007–2008.
This current (fifth) request is to extend,
with no modifications, use of the
existing State Annual Long-Term Care
Ombudsman Report (and Instructions)
for use from FY 2009–2011. The current
form and instructions are posted on the
AoA Web site at:

Background and Brief Description
CDC is planning to interview
Hispanic adolescents and their parents
at two high schools in Miami-Dade
County to facilitate the development of
targeted and culturally-appropriate HIV
prevention materials for Hispanic youth
in Miami-Dade County. The purpose of
the proposed study is to assess the
efficacy of Streamlined Familias Unidas,
a 5-session version of a longer
efficacious, parent-centered prevention
intervention developed specifically for
Hispanic families. 240 Hispanic
adolescents and their primary caregivers
(480 total participants) from two MiamiDade County public high schools will be
recruited and randomized into two
groups: (1) The streamlined 5-session
Familias Unidas intervention group, and
(2) a group that receives routine
information about HIV from the high
schools. Four times over 2 years, both
groups will respond to computerized
questionnaires that explore family
function, sexual behaviors, etc. These
assessment questionnaires will be
computer-based (ACASI). The
assessments are for the purpose of
developing and improving HIV
prevention materials and interventions
that are culturally appropriate to the
Hispanic population in Miami-Dade
County. Family functioning, substance
use, sexual behaviors, behavior
problems, and community values will
inform HIV intervention programs in
this community.
This study will address some of the
goals of CDC’s ‘‘CDC HIV Prevention
Strategic Plan: Extended Through
2010’’. CDC plans to meet specific goals
by increasing the number of behavior
prevention interventions proven
effective for Hispanic adolescents, and,
increasing the number of Hispanic
adolescents who consistently engage in
behaviors that reduce risk for acquiring
HIV. Additionally, the study data will
provide important information that will
aid in developing and improving HIV
prevention interventions for Hispanic
adolescents and their families.
Questionnaires will take from
approximately 45 min. (caregivers) to 60
minutes (adolescents) to complete.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

Proposed Project
The National Intimate Partner and
Sexual Violence Surveillance System
(NISVSS), New, National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The health burden of Intimate Partner
Violence (IPV), Sexual Violence (SV)
and stalking are substantial.
Approximately 1.5 million women and
834,700 men are raped and/or
physically assaulted by an intimate
partner each year. Women are more
likely than men to be victimized by
almost every type of IPV, including
rape, physical assault, and stalking by a
current or former intimate partner. The
health care costs of IPV exceed $5.8
billion each year, nearly $3.9 billion of
which is for direct medical and mental
health care services.
SV also has a profound and long-term
impact on the physical and mental
health of the victim. Existing estimates
of lifetime experiences of rape range
