with acute or recent HIV infection from
persons with longer standing infections.
NCHHSTP also seeks new methods that
could serve to expedite confirmatory
testing for HIV–1, HIV–2, and HCV
either at the point-of-care or in the
laboratory.
Technology Sought
Selection Criteria
One goal of the National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP) is to develop
new approaches to increase the number
of persons infected with HIV and/or
HCV who know their status and have
access to effective treatment. These
approaches might include increasing the
use of more sensitive screening assays
(such as antigen or nucleic acid
amplification tests) that can identify
persons with acute HIV infection; rapid
tests that can identify resolved or
ongoing HCV infection; and more
sensitive and specific confirmatory
assays that can be used at point-of-care
to obviate the need for clients to return
for confirmed test results. NCHHSTP is
seeking rapid diagnostic tests that are
suitable for commercial distribution and
that are simple: preferably, tests that use
direct, unprocessed specimens (e.g.,
whole blood); can be performed in 30
minutes or less by persons with
minimal training; include all necessary
reagents in the test kit; can be stored at
temperatures between 25 and 39°C; and
have a minimum 1-year shelf life. Of
particular interest are tests with high
sensitivity for early stage HIV infection
and tests that can distinguish persons
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
rapid tests to be used in the screening
setting require high sensitivity and
confirmatory tests with high specificity.
Confidential proposals, preferably six
pages or less (excluding appendices),
are solicited from companies who have
a product that is suitable for commercial
distribution.
DATES: Formal proposals must be
submitted no later than 30 calendar
days after date of publication in the
Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Formal proposals should be
submitted to Sal Butera, Associate
Director for Laboratory Science,
NCHHSTP, CDC, 1600 Clifton Road,
NE., Mailstop E–07, Atlanta, GA 30333;
Phone 404–639–6379; Fax 404–639–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposals submitted for consideration
will be evaluated according to selection
criteria, and should address, as best as
possible and to the extent relevant to the
proposal, each of the following:
(1) Information on the technology
used for the test, including basic
operating principals such as antigen or
antibody components used for
detection;
(2) Data available on the performance
characteristics of the tests in different
populations;
(3) Information on the time required
to perform the test, whether the test is
performed on oral fluid, whole blood,
serum, plasma, or dried blood spots,
and the steps involved in performing
the test;
(4) Information on the storage
requirements and stability of the test;
(5) Interest by the company to seek
FDA approval and market the test in the
United States;
(6) Ability to provide to CDC
approximately 8,000 tests and all related
equipment to enable laboratory
validation at CDC;
(7) Documentation of production
capacity to provide at least 500,000 tests
annually.

Proposed Projects:
Title: Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program LIHEAP Leveraging
Report.
OMB No.: 0970–0121.
Description: The LIHEAP leveraging
incentive program rewards LIHEAP
grantees that have leveraged non-federal
home energy resources for low-income
households. The LIHEAP leveraging
report is the application for leveraging
incentive funds that these LIHEAP
grantees submit to the Department of
Health and Human Services for each
fiscal year in which they leverage
countable resources. Participation in the
leveraging incentive program is
voluntary and is described at 45 CFR
96.87. The LIHEAP leveraging report
obtains information on the resources
leveraged by LIHEAP grantees each
fiscal year (as cash, discounts, waivers,
and in-kind); the benefits provided to
low-income households by these
resources (for example, as fuel and
payments for fuel, as home heating and
cooling equipment, and as
weatherization materials and
installation); and the fair market value
of these resources/benefits.
HHS needs this information in order
to carry out statutory requirements for
administering the LIHEAP leveraging
incentive program, to determine
accountability and valuation of grantees
leveraged non-federal home energy
resources, and to determine grantees
shares of leveraging incentive funds.
HHS proposes to request a three-year
extension of OMB approval for the
currently approved LIHEAP leveraging
report information collection.
Respondents: State, Local or Tribal
Governments.
