Proposed Project National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&E))— Revision—National Center for HIV/ AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description CDC is requesting approval for a revision of a previously approved project and a change in project name. The initial PEMS OMB request was approved October 6, 2005, for one year and reinstated August 22, 2007, for three years. The purpose of this revision is to collect standardized HIV prevention program evaluation data from health departments and community-based organizations (CBOs) who receive Federal funds for HIV prevention activities. Grantees have the option of using CDC’s web-based PEMS software application or other approved software that the grantee may elect to utilize. Since the data collection approval in 2007, program evaluation data collection has proceeded in phases. The last phase, the collection and reporting of Partner Services data, is scheduled to begin in July 2010. The evaluation and reporting process is necessary to ensure that CDC receives standardized, accurate, thorough evaluation data from both health department and CBO grantees. For these reasons, CDC developed standardized NHM&E variables and an optional electronic reporting system (PEMS) through extensive consultation with representatives from health departments, CBOs, and national partners (e.g., The National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors, Urban Coalition of HIV/AIDS Prevention Services, and National Minority AIDS Council). CDC requires CBOs and health departments who receive federal funds for HIV prevention to report nonidentifying, client-level, standardized evaluation data to: (1) Accurately determine the extent to which HIV prevention efforts are carried out, what types of agencies are providing services, what resources are allocated to those services, to whom services are being provided, and how these efforts have contributed to a reduction in HIV transmission; (2) improve ease of reporting to better meet these data needs; and (3) be accountable to stakeholders by informing them of HIV prevention activities and use of funds in HIV prevention nationwide. CDC HIV prevention program grantees will collect, enter, and report general agency information, program model and budget data, and client demographics and behavioral risk characteristics. If using the PEMS, data collection will include searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining data, document compilation, review of data, and data entry into the web-based system. The following changes have occurred since project 0920–0696 has been implemented: (1) The term ‘‘PEMS’’ currently refers only to CDC’s webbased data collection and transmission software. In order to refer to data variables, the revised project uses the term ‘‘National HIV prevention program monitoring and evaluation’’ (NHM&E) data rather than ‘‘PEMS’’ data; and, (2) many data variables that were previously required are currently made optional in order to reduce data reporting burden on grantees. The revised collection anticipates a significant increase in the number of grantees and activities to be funded and provides additional optional variables for use by CBOs in outcome evaluation and special evaluation projects. There are no additional costs to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project Prevention Research Centers Program National Evaluation Reporting System (OMB No. 0920–0650 exp. 8/31/2010)— Revision—Division of Adult and Total burden (in hours) 30 Dated: April 5, 2010. Maryam I. Daneshvar, Acting Reports Clearance Officer, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. BILLING CODE 4163–18–P Average burden per response (in hours) The Prevention Research Centers (PRC) Program was established by Congress through the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Amendments of 1984. PRCs conduct outcomes-oriented health promotion and disease prevention research on a broad range of topics using a multi-disciplinary and community-based approach. CDC manages the PRC program and currently provides funding to PRC grantees that are housed within schools of public health, medicine, or osteopathy. Awards are made for five years and renewed through a competitive application process. CDC is currently approved to collect progress and performance information about PRCs through the PRC Information System (IS), a Web-based application (OMB no. 0920–0650, exp. 8/31/2010). The performance information is used to track each PRC’s progress toward, and achievement of, the objectives established by the PRC Program and the PRC’s individual work plan, including indicators related to research projects, products resulting from those projects, trainings related to those projects, and partnerships. Information has been collected through the PRC IS twice per year. In the next approval period, information collection will be restructured around a revised set of performance indicators and revised information collection methodology. The frequency of reporting will be reduced to once per year, however, reporting will be divided into two parts. The first information collection will be conducted electronically utilizing Survey Monkey, a more user-friendly Web-based survey system. This information collection will include the following: (1) PRC involvement with State and local health departments and other government agencies, (2) number and characteristics of research projects, (3) number of training programs delivered, (4) number of people trained, and (5) number of students trained. The second information collection will consist of a telephone interview with a key contact for each PRC grantee. The data will include the: (1) Number of new people hired, (2) number of contracts entered into and supported by PRC core funds, and (3) number of effective interventions. Although the number of respondents will increase from 33 to 37 PRCs, the proposed changes will result in a net decrease in the total estimated annualized burden to respondents, due primarily to a decrease in the burden per respondent. OMB approval is being requested for a three-year period with a start date of June 1, 2010. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated burden hours are 259. sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of respondents Type of respondent Form name PRC Program ..................................................

Proposed Project

    National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring and Evaluation 
(NHM&E))--Revision--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, 
and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC is requesting approval for a revision of a previously approved 
project and a change in project name. The initial PEMS OMB request was 
approved October 6, 2005, for one year and reinstated August 22, 2007, 
for three years.
    The purpose of this revision is to collect standardized HIV 
prevention program evaluation data from health departments and 
community-based organizations (CBOs) who receive Federal funds for HIV 
prevention activities. Grantees have the option of using CDC's web-
based PEMS software application or other approved software that the 
grantee may elect to utilize. Since the data collection approval in 
2007, program evaluation data collection has proceeded in phases. The 
last phase, the collection and reporting of Partner Services data, is 
scheduled to begin in July 2010.
    The evaluation and reporting process is necessary to ensure that 
CDC receives standardized, accurate, thorough evaluation data from both 
health department and CBO grantees. For these reasons, CDC developed 
standardized NHM&E variables and an optional electronic reporting 
system (PEMS) through extensive consultation with representatives from 
health departments, CBOs, and national partners (e.g., The National 
Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors, Urban Coalition of 
HIV/AIDS Prevention Services, and National Minority AIDS Council).
    CDC requires CBOs and health departments who receive federal funds 
for HIV prevention to report non-identifying, client-level, 
standardized evaluation data to: (1) Accurately determine the extent to 
which HIV prevention efforts are carried out, what types of agencies 
are providing services, what resources are allocated to those services, 
to whom services are being provided, and how these efforts have 
contributed to a reduction in HIV transmission; (2) improve ease of 
reporting to better meet these data needs; and (3) be accountable to 
stakeholders by informing them of HIV prevention activities and use of 
funds in HIV prevention nationwide.
    CDC HIV prevention program grantees will collect, enter, and report 
general agency information, program model and budget data, and client 
demographics and behavioral risk characteristics. If using the PEMS, 
data collection will include searching existing data sources, gathering 
and maintaining data, document compilation, review of data, and data 
entry into the web-based system.
    The following changes have occurred since project 0920-0696 has 
been implemented: (1) The term ``PEMS'' currently refers only to CDC's 
web-based data collection and transmission software. In order to refer 
to data variables, the revised project uses the term ``National HIV 
prevention program monitoring and evaluation'' (NHM&E) data rather than 
``PEMS'' data; and, (2) many data variables that were previously 
required are currently made optional in order to reduce data reporting 
burden on grantees. The revised collection anticipates a significant 
increase in the number of grantees and activities to be funded and 
provides additional optional variables for use by CBOs in outcome 
evaluation and special evaluation projects.
    There are no additional costs to respondents other than their time.
