To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276– 1243. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Proposed Project: Rapid HIV Testing Clinical Information Form for the Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) for Ethnic and Racial Minorities at Risk for Substance Use and HIV/AID—In Use Without OMB Approval The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), is requesting an OMB review and approval of the Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) Rapid HIV Testing Clinical Information Form that will be utilized for ethnic and racial minority groups at risk for substance use and HIV/AIDS that are served by CSAT’s TCE–HIV grantees. The MAI HIV Rapid Testing Clinical Information Form would allow SAMHSA/CSAT to collect essential clinical information that will be used for quality assurance, quality performance, and product monitoring on approximately 30,000 rapid HIV test kits to be provided to ethnic and racial minority communities at no cost to the recipient provider organizations. The MAI Rapid HIV Testing Clinical Information Form would support quality of care, provide adequate clinical and product monitoring, and provide appropriate safeguards against fraud, waste and abuse of Federal funds. SAMHSA’s approach would avoid unnecessary delay in informing any person potentially adversely affected by a test kit recall or public health advisory. This program is authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act [42 U.S.C. 290bb–2]. The goals of SAMHSA’s MAI initiative are to: (1) Increase the access PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 by racial and ethnic minority communities to HIV testing, prevention, care, and treatment services; (2) implement strategies and activities specifically targeted to the highest risk and hardest-to-serve populations; (3) reduce the stigma associated with HIV/ AIDS screening through outreach and education, and (4) establish collaborations or opportunities for programs and/or activities to be integrated. The target populations for the initiative are African Americans, Hispanic/Latinos, and other racial and ethnic minorities that are disproportionately impacted by the twin epidemics of HIV/AIDS and substance abuse. Since 1981 approximately 1.7 million people are estimated to have been infected with HIV in the U.S., and more than 1.1 million are estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS today. Racial and ethnic minorities have been disproportionately affected by HIV/ AIDS, and represent the majority of new AIDS cases (70%), new HIV infections (54%), prevalent HIV/AIDS cases (65%), and AIDS deaths (72%) (CDC, 2006). African Americans have been especially affected by HIV/AIDS. More than half of all new HIV infections and half of new AIDS diagnoses occur in African Americans despite their accounting for approximately 12% of the U.S. population. A similar impact exists among Latinos, who represent 14% of the U.S. population but account for 20% of estimated AIDS diagnoses. Together, Asian/Pacific Islanders and American Indian/Alaska Natives represent 1%– 2% of new AIDS diagnoses. The spread of HIV disease in the United States has been partly fueled by the use of illicit drugs. Injection drug use (IDU) is directly related to HIV transmission through the sharing of drug equipment. According to CDC’s latest report on 2006 rates, IDUs accounted for 12 percent of estimated new HIV infections. CDC’s historical trend analysis indicates that new infections have declined dramatically in this population over time and confirm the substantial evidence to date of success in reducing HIV infections among IDUs. Despite these declines, rates of HIV and AIDS continue to rise among certain groups including men who have sex with men, high risk heterosexual women and ethnic and racial minority groups due to non-IDU drugs and alcohol that interfere with judgment about sexual and other types of behaviors. The estimated hour burden is presented in the following table: E:\FR\FM\26FEN1.SGM 26FEN1
