sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 69 / Monday, April 12, 2010 / Notices
public comment on the issues addressed
in the two documents and on the
guidance’s implementation through this
Federal Register notice. This public
comment opportunity will be available
until December 1, 2010.
EPA has committed to determining
whether any changes are required to the
interim guidance by April 1, 2011 and
issuing revised final guidance if
necessary. EPA’s evaluation of
comments on this guidance will also be
informed by the result of the SAB
reviews of EPA’s draft science reports,
as discussed further below.
EPA is committed to ensuring that its
decisions are based on the best available
science. To further this commitment,
the guidance incorporates
independently reviewed scientific
information on the impacts of
Appalachian surface coal mining on the
aquatic environment. In addition to the
existing peer-reviewed science outlined
in the memoranda, EPA also references
two draft reports produced by EPA’s
Office of Research and Development.
The first draft report, The Effects of
Mountaintop Mines and Valley Fills on
Aquatic Ecosystems of the Central
Appalachian Coalfields, assesses the
state of the science on the
environmental impacts of mountaintop
mines and valley fills on streams in the
Central Appalachian Coalfields. The
second draft report, A Field-based
Aquatic Life Benchmark for
Conductivity in Central Appalachian
Streams, adapts the standard U.S. EPA
methodology for deriving ambient water
quality criteria to field data, and derives
benchmarks for dissolved salts as
measured by conductivity in Central
Appalachian streams using data from
West Virginia and Kentucky. These
scientific reports, publicly released on
April 1 and described in a separate
Federal Register notice also published
today, are available for public comment
for 60 days. The drafts can be accessed
at https://www.epa.gov/ncea and are
available for public comment through
EPA Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–ORD–
2009–0934. As outlined in that notice,
comments provided on the two draft
scientific reports will be forwarded to
an expert panel convened by EPA’s
Science Advisory Board (SAB) in
advance of the SAB’s independent peer
review of these reports during the
summer of 2010.
For purposes of this Federal Register
notice, EPA in particular seeks comment
on the following elements of its
guidance memoranda, as well as on the
implementation of this guidance
between now and December 1, 2010:
• Whether the guidance achieves its
objective of providing further clarity

Jkt 220001
and improved protection for the
environment and human health through
EPA’s review of draft or proposed
permits under Section 402 of the Clean
Water Act and permit applications
under Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act for Appalachian surface coal mining
operations.
• Whether additional scientific
information is available to inform EPA’s
authorities under the Clean Water Act,
National Environmental Policy Act, and
Environmental Justice Executive Order
(E.O. 12898).
• Whether EPA’s implementation of
its guidance in reviewing state Section
402 permits and permit applications
under Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act has been effective in achieving the
goals of providing additional clarity and
enhanced environmental and human
health protection.
• Whether there are additional
examples of best practices in terms of
mine design, site and materials
management, or water treatment
systems, consistent with the objectives
of improved environmental protection,
greater clarity, and the best-available
science, that should be considered.
• Whether additional relevant and
appropriate data, studies, knowledge of
studies, or informal observations should
be considered as part of EPA’s
application of best-available science and
its authorities under the Clean Water
Act, National Environmental Policy Act,
and the Environmental Justice Executive
Order (E.O. 12898), to Appalachian
surface coal mining.
The record will remain open for
comment on the guidance until
December 1, 2010. All public comments
will be fully considered along with the
results of the SAB review in reaching a
decision on whether changes are
required to the current guidance by
April 1, 2011.

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.
