Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review, 45215-45216 [E9-21037]

Download as PDF 45215 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 168 / Tuesday, September 1, 2009 / Notices Background and Brief Description This project seeks a one year extension of its OMB PRA clearance for data collection. Due to early project delays in obtaining clearances for data collection, the project was unable to start as planned and missed evaluating one program cycle, with a program cycle running for approximately one year. This extension is necessary in order to complete the project’s original design of evaluating three program cycles of the SAIFE program as implemented in the State of North Carolina. An extension will allow completion of the evaluation of the third and final cycle of the program. This project will use data from inperson interviews, paper and telephone surveys to assess the effectiveness of the Smoke Alarm Installation and Fire Safety Education (SAIFE) program and its efficacy in delivering fire safety information. The data will be collected from a convenience sample of adults 18 years of age or older who volunteer to participate in the SAIFE program. A total of 360 households will complete the evaluation each year of the data collection for a mass total of 1080 households over the next three years. Participants will be asked to complete a 15-minute survey at two points, once immediately before the intervention and then 6 months afterwards. The survey will assess outcome measures including, but not limited to, changes in knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors regarding various aspects of fire safety and prevention; changes in reported residential fire-related injuries and deaths; increased or decreased presence of functioning smoke alarms; and the costs associated with the SAIFE intervention. The evaluation will measure these changes across time, between groups and within groups, among communities that will receive the SAIFE intervention. CDC programs are currently funded in 16 States to provide for home installation of smoke alarms plus general fire safety education in households at high risk for fire and fire related injury and death. Programs of this type are intended to prevent fire related injury and mortality, but have not been studied scientifically to assess their impact on fire-related injury outcomes. The proposed study represents the first formal effort to evaluate the effectiveness and cost implications of the SAIFE program as implemented in North Carolina. The data collected in this study will have the potential to inform other smoke alarm installation programs, as well as indicate future priorities in prevention and preparedness for residential household fires. The only cost to the participant is the time involved to complete the surveys. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 251.

Background and Brief Description [30Day–09–09AF] VerDate Nov<24>2008 comments should be received within 30 days of this notice. HIV continues to be one of the leading causes of illness and death in the US, among injection drug users who are at high risk of acquiring HIV infection. HIV testing may not be readily accessible to this population in areas where they frequent. The New York State Legislature established an Expanded Syringe Access Demonstration Program (ESAP) in 2001 in New York City. ESAP makes sterile syringes available for injection drug users through participating pharmacies, in order to help reduce the burden of HIV.

The expansion of pharmacy services to include referrals for injection-drugusing syringe customers is based on the successes of ESAP, which provides many services beyond syringe exchange. The New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) has access to the ESAP list of pharmacies. NYAM will identify 12 ESAP pharmacies in East Harlem, New York City that are situated within predefined target neighborhoods where there are high levels of injection drug use. NYAM study staff will screen the ESAP pharmacies for eligibility by calling down a randomly-ordered list of ESAP-registered pharmacies and enrolling pharmacies willing to participate in this study. NYAM anticipates that they will have to contact 24 ESAP-registered pharmacies in the first year of the project (one pharmacy staff member at each pharmacy) in order to identify the 12 that will participate in the study. Recruitment of pharmacies will occur only during the first year.

Congress found that large amounts of drugs had been reimported into the United States as U.S. goods returned causing a health and safety risk to U.S. consumers because the drugs may become subpotent or adulterated during foreign handling and shipping. Congress also found that a ready market for prescription drug reimports had been the catalyst for a continuing series of frauds against U.S. manufacturers and had provided the cover for the importation of foreign counterfeit drugs. Congress also determined that the system of providing drug samples to physicians through manufacturers’ representatives had resulted in the sale to consumers of misbranded, expired, and adulterated pharmaceuticals. The bulk resale of below-wholesale priced prescription drugs by health care entities for ultimate sale at retail also helped to fuel the diversion market and was an unfair form of competition to wholesalers and retailers who had to pay otherwise prevailing market prices.

Proposed Project

    Evaluation of Pharmacy Syringe Access Linked to HIV Testing for 
Injection Drug Users in New York City (Pharm-HIV)--New--National Center 
for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    HIV continues to be one of the leading causes of illness and death 
in the US, among injection drug users who are at high risk of acquiring 
HIV infection. HIV testing may not be readily accessible to this 
population in areas where they frequent. The New York State Legislature 
established an Expanded Syringe Access Demonstration Program (ESAP) in 
2001 in New York City. ESAP makes sterile syringes available for 
injection drug users through participating pharmacies, in order to help 
reduce the burden of HIV. The regular contact between pharmacists and 
their injection-drug-using syringe customers through ESAP paves the way 
for pharmacies to act as access points to health and social services 
among IDU customers. The expansion of pharmacy services to include 
referrals for injection-drug-using syringe customers is based on the 
successes of ESAP, which provides many services beyond syringe 
exchange.
    The New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) has access to the ESAP list 
of pharmacies. NYAM will identify 12 ESAP pharmacies in East Harlem, 
New York City that are situated within predefined target neighborhoods 
where there are high levels of injection drug use. NYAM study staff 
will screen the ESAP pharmacies for eligibility by calling down a 
randomly-ordered list of ESAP-registered pharmacies and enrolling 
pharmacies willing to participate in this study. NYAM anticipates that 
they will have to contact 24 ESAP-registered pharmacies in the first 
year of the project (one pharmacy staff member at each pharmacy) in 
order to identify the 12 that will participate in the study. 
Recruitment of pharmacies will occur only during the first year.
    At the 12 ESAP-registered pharmacies that join the study, over a 
three year period, 442 adult (age >=18 yrs) injection-drug-using 
syringe customers will

complete a brief quantitative interview after HIV referral or HIV 
testing is offered to them. HIV-seropositive injection-drug-using 
syringe customers who are identified during HIV testing will be 
immediately linked to social and medical services. Ten of the 12 ESAP 
Pharmacies will provide referrals to local HIV testing sites for their 
injection-drug-using syringe customers. At these ten pharmacies, 40 
adult pharmacy staff will be surveyed on pharmacy staff attitudes and 
behaviors regarding HIV testing and referral.
    The remaining two ESAP pharmacies will pilot test the feasibility 
of offering and performing HIV counseling and testing in the pharmacy 
for injection-drug-using syringe customers. At these two pharmacies, 8 
adult (age >=18 yrs) pharmacy staff members will be surveyed on 
pharmacy staff attitudes and behaviors regarding HIV testing and 
referral. At the 12 pharmacies, 12 pharmacy staff members (one from 
each pharmacy) will be surveyed monthly to track study progress and 
obstacles to completing the study. Twelve pharmacy staff members (one 
from each pharmacy) will complete a daily syringe sales and referral 
log.
    There is no cost to the injection drug using customers who provide 
information to this study other than their time. The total estimated 
annual burden hours are 496 hours.
