CDC proposes to conduct two surveys to collect this data. The first survey will be a limited roll-out survey and will be conducted in 30 facilities across 10 States in collaboration with State public health authorities and CDC’s Emerging Infections Program (EIP). The survey will be conducted on a single day in participating facilities. Infection Control Practitioners in participating facilities, such as infection control personnel, will collect limited demographic and clinical information on a sample of eligible organisms, and nature of and rationale for antimicrobial use. This proposed project supports CDC’s Strategic Goal of ‘‘Healthy Healthcare Settings,’’ specifically the objectives to ‘‘Promote compliance with evidencebased guidelines for preventing, identifying, and managing disease in healthcare settings’’ and ‘‘Prevent adverse events in patients and healthcare workers in healthcare settings.’’ There are no costs to respondents, other than their time to complete the survey. inpatients and, on the same day, EIP site personnel will collect information on HAIs and antimicrobial use for surveyed patients who are on antimicrobial therapy at the time of the survey. The second survey will involve 500 facilities across the same 10 States and use the same methodology. As with the first survey, CDC will collaborate with State public health authorities and EIP sites. CDC will use the data provided to estimate the prevalence of HAIs and antimicrobial use across this sample of U.S. hospitals as well as to estimate the distribution of infection types, causative ESTIMATE OF ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of respondents Respondents Infection Control Practitioners—Survey #1 ......................................................

To accomplish this, the ATTCs develop and update state-of-the-art, researchbased curricula and professional development training. Each of the forms is described below. SAMHSA/CSAT is proposing to revise the Event Description and Post-Event forms currently used by the ATTCs. The Follow-Up forms will not be changed. The Pre-Events forms currently in use will be eliminated. Sixty percent of the forms are administered in person to participants at educational and training events, who complete the forms by paper and pencil. Ten percent of the training courses are online, and thus, those forms are administered online. The remaining thirty percent is made up of 30-day follow-up forms that are distributed to consenting participants via electronic mail using an online survey tool. (1) The Event Description Form will be revised. The form collects event information. It includes questions regarding the SAMHSA priority areas and cross-cutting principles covered by the content of the event. SAMHSA’s priority areas and cross-cutting principles have been revised since this form was approved, so the form will be revised to match the updated priorities PO 00000 Average burden per response (in hours) and principles. In addition, the Event Description Form asks which of SAMHSA’s Technical Assistance Publications (TAPs) and Treatment Improvement Protocols (TIPs) were used during the event. New TIPs and TAPs have been published since the form was approved. Those new TIPs and TAPs will be added to the form. (2) The Pre-Event Form for meetings, technical assistance events, and training events will be eliminated. The demographic information that was collected on this form will be added to the Post-Event Forms. By incorporating this demographic information on the Post-Event Forms, the Pre-Event Form can be eliminated, thereby reducing the response burden for participants. (3) The Post-Event Form for all events will be revised. The five current demographic questions will be revised to reflect a more current understanding of the field, and five additional demographic questions will be included. (4) The Follow-Up Form for all events will remain the same as the ones currently in use by the ATTCs. Event Description: The event description form asks approximately 10 questions of the ATTC faculty/staff for each of the ATTC events. The approved form asks the event focus, format, and publications to be used in the event. As noted above, it will be revised to reflect updates to SAMHSA’s priority areas and cross-cutting principles and the publication of new TIPs and TAPs. E:\FR\FM\27JAN1.SGM 27JAN1 4398 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 17 / Wednesday, January 27, 2010 / Notices Technical Assistance and Meeting Events Forms The ATTCs provide technical assistance, which is a jointly planned consultation generally involving a series of contacts between the ATTC and an outside organization/institution during which the ATTC provides expertise and gives direction toward resolving a problem or improving conditions. The ATTCs hold meetings, which are ATTC sponsored or co-sponsored events in which a group of people representing one or more agencies other than the ATTC work cooperatively on a project, problem, and/or a policy. The ATTCs will collect satisfaction measures after each technical assistance and meeting event. The ATTCs will base the PostEvent Form on the approved CSAT Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Customer Satisfaction form (OMB # 0930–0197). The only revision to this GPRA form will be that the ATTCs will revise the five current demographic questions asked on this form and include five additional demographic questions. The ATTCs will collect satisfaction measures 30 days after each event by using the approved CSAT Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Customer Satisfaction form (OMB # 0930–0197). The ATTCs are eliminating the Technical Assistance and Meeting PreEvent Forms currently in use. Post-Event Form for Technical Assistance and Meetings: The PostEvent Information form for technical assistance and meetings asks approximately 25 questions of each individual that participated in the event. The current form asks the participants to report satisfaction with the quality of the event and event materials, and to assess their level of skills in the topic area. The five current demographic questions on the form will be revised to reflect a more current understanding of the field, and five additional demographic questions will be included. The form will ask participants to report demographic information, education, profession, field of study, status of certification or licensure, workplace role, and employment setting. 30-Day Follow-Up Form for Technical Assistance and Meetings: The Followup Information Form for technical assistance and meetings asks about 20 questions of about 25 percent of consenting participants. The approved form asks the participants to report satisfaction with the quality of the event materials, to assess their level of skills in the topic area, and to report whether or not they have shared information from the event at their place of work. This form is already approved by OMB and will not be revised (OMB # 0930– 0197). Training Forms Trainings are defined as ATTC sponsored or co-sponsored events, mainly focusing on the enhancement of knowledge and/or skills of counselors and other professionals who work with individuals with substance use disorder-related problems. The ATTCs will collect information from training participants at the end of the training event by using a revised version of the currently approved Post-Event Form for training. The current approval for this form is under OMB # 0930–0216. The only revision to this Post-Event Form will be that the ATTCs will revise the five current demographic questions asked and include five additional demographic questions. The ATTCs will collect information from training participants 30 days after the training event by using the same form currently approved for this purpose under OMB # 0930–0216. The Pre-Event Form for training will be eliminated. Post-Event Form for Training: The Post- Form for Training asks approximately 25 questions of each individual that participated in the training. The approved form asks the participants to report satisfaction with, usefulness of, and quality of the training and training materials as well as to assess their level of skills in the topic area. The five current demographic questions on the form will be revised to reflect a more current understanding of the field, and five additional demographic questions will be included. The form will ask participants to report demographic information, education, profession, field of study, status of certification or licensure, workplace role, and employment setting. Follow-up Form for Training: The Follow-up Information Form for Training asks about 25 questions of about 25 percent of consenting participants. The approved form asks the participants to report satisfaction with, usefulness of, and quality of the training and training materials as well as to assess their level of skills in the topic area. The form also asks participants to report whether or not they have shared information from the event at their place of work and which, if any, barriers they have encountered to applying the information gained from the training. This form is already approved by OMB and will not be revised (OMB # 0930–0216). The information collected on the ATTC forms will assist CSAT in documenting the numbers andtypes of participants in ATTC events, describing the extent to which participants reportimprovement in their clinical competency, and which method is most effective in disseminatingknowledge to various audiences. This type of information is crucial to support CSAT incomplying with GPRA reporting requirements and will inform future development of knowledgedissemination activities. In the future, SAMHSA is considering including additional performancemonitoring measures for the ATTC program. More robust measures of the impact of ATTCtraining and technology transfer efforts are being considered.

Interventions developed for gay men may not be relevant or appropriate for men who have sex with men and women (MSMW), many of whom do not self-identify as gay and who may need different prevention strategies for their male and female partners. No interventions in the scientific literature with demonstrated efficacy in reducing HIV-related sexual risk behaviors have been developed and evaluated specifically for AfricanAmerican MSMW. The proposed study is essential for developing effective HIV/ AIDS prevention interventions for atrisk African-American MSMW and for informing policies and programs that will more effectively protect them and their partners from infection. The purpose of the proposed study is to develop and pilot-test three novel behavioral interventions to reduce sexual risk for HIV infection and transmission among African-American MSMW who do not inject drugs. Eligible respondents will be recruited using chain referral sampling techniques. Three study sites (Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC), Nova Southeastern University, and California State University (CSU) at Dominguez Hills) will use a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. Respondents will be reimbursed up to a total of $300 for their time and for completing all data collection forms. If these interventions are found to be effective, organizations that implement risk-reduction interventions will be able to use the curricula to intervene with this population more successfully. Ultimately, the beneficiary of this data collection will be African-American MSMW at risk for HIV. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is 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. Written comments should be received within 60 days of this notice.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information 
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these 
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.

Project: Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC) Network Program 
Monitoring (OMB No. 0930-0216)--Revision

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) will continue to 
monitor program performance of its Addiction Technology Transfer 
Centers (ATTCs). The ATTCs disseminate current health services research 
from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institute on 
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National Institute of Mental Health, 
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, National Institute of 
Justice, and other sources, as well as other SAMHSA programs. To 
accomplish this, the ATTCs develop and update state-of-the-art, 
research-based curricula and professional development training.
    Each of the forms is described below. SAMHSA/CSAT is proposing to 
revise the Event Description and Post-Event forms currently used by the 
ATTCs. The Follow-Up forms will not be changed. The Pre-Events forms 
currently in use will be eliminated.
    Sixty percent of the forms are administered in person to 
participants at educational and training events, who complete the forms 
by paper and pencil. Ten percent of the training courses are online, 
and thus, those forms are administered online. The remaining thirty 
percent is made up of 30-day follow-up forms that are distributed to 
consenting participants via electronic mail using an online survey 
tool.
    (1) The Event Description Form will be revised. The form collects 
event information. It includes questions regarding the SAMHSA priority 
areas and cross-cutting principles covered by the content of the event. 
SAMHSA's priority areas and cross-cutting principles have been revised 
since this form was approved, so the form will be revised to match the 
updated priorities and principles. In addition, the Event Description 
Form asks which of SAMHSA's Technical Assistance Publications (TAPs) 
and Treatment Improvement Protocols (TIPs) were used during the event. 
New TIPs and TAPs have been published since the form was approved. 
Those new TIPs and TAPs will be added to the form.
    (2) The Pre-Event Form for meetings, technical assistance events, 
and training events will be eliminated. The demographic information 
that was collected on this form will be added to the Post-Event Forms. 
By incorporating this demographic information on the Post-Event Forms, 
the Pre-Event Form can be eliminated, thereby reducing the response 
burden for participants.
    (3) The Post-Event Form for all events will be revised. The five 
current demographic questions will be revised to reflect a more current 
understanding of the field, and five additional demographic questions 
will be included.
    (4) The Follow-Up Form for all events will remain the same as the 
ones currently in use by the ATTCs.
    Event Description: The event description form asks approximately 10 
questions of the ATTC faculty/staff for each of the ATTC events. The 
approved form asks the event focus, format, and publications to be used 
in the event. As noted above, it will be revised to reflect updates to 
SAMHSA's priority areas and cross-cutting principles and the 
publication of new TIPs and TAPs.

Technical Assistance and Meeting Events Forms

    The ATTCs provide technical assistance, which is a jointly planned 
consultation generally involving a series of contacts between the ATTC 
and an outside organization/institution during which the ATTC provides 
expertise and gives direction toward resolving a problem or improving 
conditions. The ATTCs hold meetings, which are ATTC sponsored or co-
sponsored events in which a group of people representing one or more 
agencies other than the ATTC work cooperatively on a project, problem, 
and/or a policy. The ATTCs will collect satisfaction measures after 
each technical assistance and meeting event. The ATTCs will base the 
Post-Event Form on the approved CSAT Government Performance and Results 
Act (GPRA) Customer Satisfaction form (OMB  0930-0197). The 
only revision to this GPRA form will be that the ATTCs will revise the 
five current demographic questions asked on this form and include five 
additional demographic questions. The ATTCs will collect satisfaction 
measures 30 days after each event by using the approved CSAT Government 
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Customer Satisfaction form (OMB 
 0930-0197). The ATTCs are eliminating the Technical 
Assistance and Meeting Pre-Event Forms currently in use.
    Post-Event Form for Technical Assistance and Meetings: The Post-
Event Information form for technical assistance and meetings asks 
approximately 25 questions of each individual that participated in the 
event. The current form asks the participants to report satisfaction 
with the quality of the event and event materials, and to assess their 
level of skills in the topic area. The five current demographic 
questions on the form will be revised to reflect a more current 
understanding of the field, and five additional demographic questions 
will be included. The form will ask participants to report demographic 
information, education, profession, field of study, status of 
certification or licensure, workplace role, and employment setting.
    30-Day Follow-Up Form for Technical Assistance and Meetings: The 
Follow-up Information Form for technical assistance and meetings asks 
about 20 questions of about 25 percent of consenting participants. The 
approved form asks the participants to report satisfaction with the 
quality of the event materials, to assess their level of skills in the 
topic area, and to report whether or not they have shared information 
from the event at their place of work. This form is already approved by 
OMB and will not be revised (OMB  0930-0197).

Training Forms

    Trainings are defined as ATTC sponsored or co-sponsored events, 
mainly focusing on the enhancement of knowledge and/or skills of 
counselors and other professionals who work with individuals with 
substance use disorder-related problems. The ATTCs will collect 
information from training participants at the end of the training event 
by using a revised version of the currently approved Post-Event Form 
for training. The current approval for this form is under OMB  
0930-0216. The only revision to this Post-Event Form will be that the 
ATTCs will revise the five current demographic questions asked and 
include five additional demographic questions. The ATTCs will collect 
information from training participants 30 days after the training event 
by using the same form currently approved for this purpose under OMB 
 0930-0216. The Pre-Event Form for training will be 
eliminated.
    Post-Event Form for Training: The Post- Form for Training asks 
approximately 25 questions of each individual that participated in the 
training. The approved form asks the participants to report 
satisfaction with, usefulness of, and quality of the training and 
training materials as well as to assess their level of skills in the 
topic area. The five current demographic questions on the form will be 
revised to reflect a more current understanding of the field, and five 
additional demographic questions will be included. The form will ask 
participants to report demographic information, education, profession, 
field of study, status of certification or licensure, workplace role, 
and employment setting.
    Follow-up Form for Training: The Follow-up Information Form for 
Training asks about 25 questions of about 25 percent of consenting 
participants. The approved form asks the participants to report 
satisfaction with, usefulness of, and quality of the training and 
training materials as well as to assess their level of skills in the 
topic area. The form also asks participants to report whether or not 
they have shared information from the event at their place of work and 
which, if any, barriers they have encountered to applying the 
information gained from the training. This form is already approved by 
OMB and will not be revised (OMB  0930-0216).
    The information collected on the ATTC forms will assist CSAT in 
documenting the numbers andtypes of participants in ATTC events, 
describing the extent to which participants reportimprovement in their 
clinical competency, and which method is most effective in 
disseminatingknowledge to various audiences. This type of information 
is crucial to support CSAT incomplying with GPRA reporting requirements 
and will inform future development of knowledgedissemination 
activities. In the future, SAMHSA is considering including additional 
performancemonitoring measures for the ATTC program. More robust 
measures of the impact of ATTCtraining and technology transfer efforts 
are being considered.
