Background and Brief Description
This Behavioral Assessment and
Rapid Testing project will involve
conducting behavioral assessments and
rapid HIV testing at a variety of events
serving groups at high risk for acquiring
or transmitting HIV infection.
Behavioral assessments will be
conducted using one protocol and one
research agenda but at events serving
different minority and hard-to-reach
populations. This project will address
the increasing rates of HIV infection
among African Americans (AAs) and
men who have sex with men as well as
the need for early detection and linkage
to health care for HIV-infected persons.
The behavioral assessment component
will provide the opportunity to describe
the risk profiles and prevalence of
unrecognized infection among
individuals reachable for HIV
counseling and testing at these events.
Collected data will be used to develop
risk reduction interventions that are
appropriate for the attendees of future
events that attract persons who may be
at high risk for HIV infection. The
proposed project addresses ‘‘Healthy
People 2010’’ priority area(s) of
identifying new HIV infections and is in
alignment with NCHHSTP performance
goal(s) to strengthen the capacity
nationwide to monitor the HIV
epidemic, develop and implement
effective HIV prevention interventions,
and evaluate prevention programs.
The purpose of the proposed data
collection is to collect behavioral data at
selected public events serving specific
high-risk populations and to increase
the proportion of at-risk persons who
are aware of their HIV status. The
behavioral assessment component of the
project addresses the need for increased
behavioral data among some high-risk
groups that are more difficult to access
or represent increasingly greater
proportions of the HIV epidemic.
A convenience sample will be used to
select attendees at (1) Gay Pride; (2)
Minority Gay Pride; (3) black spring
break; and (4) cultural and social events
attracting large numbers of African
Americans. Trained interviewers will
select and approach event attendees. A
screener questionnaire will be used to
determine participation eligibility and
obtain oral consent. Approximately
7,000 individuals will be approached
and screened (through a 2-minute
interview) for eligibility to participate
each year. Approximately 5,600
individuals are expected to be eligible
and participate in the 5- to 15-minute
behavioral assessment interview each
year. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.

AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
Notice.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the
proposed collection of certain
information by the agency. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the
PRA), Federal agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information and to allow 60 days for
public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on
communication studies involving FDA/
Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM)
regulated products intended for use in
animals. This information will be used
to explore concepts of interest and assist
in the development and modification of
communication messages and
campaigns to fulfill the Agency’s
mission in protecting the public health.
DATES: Submit either electronic or
written comments on the collection of
information by October 18, 2010.

Jkt 220001
Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in
44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c)
and includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies
to provide a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, FDA is publishing notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, FDA invites
comments on these topics: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of FDA’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques,

Testing Communications on the Food
and Drug Administration/Center for

393 (d)(2)(D)—(OMB Control Number–
0910–NEW )
CVM has authorization under section
903(d)(2)(D) of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
393(d)(2)(D) to conduct educational and
public information programs relating to
the safety of CVM-regulated products.
Further, CVM is authorized to conduct
this needed research to ensure that these
programs have the highest likelihood of
being effective. Thus, CVM concludes
that improving communications about
the safety of regulated animal drugs,
feed, food additives, and devices will
involve many research methods,
including individual indepth
interviews, mall-intercept interviews,
focus groups, self-administered surveys,
gatekeeper reviews, and omnibus
telephone surveys.
The information collected will serve
three major purposes. First, as formative
research, it will provide critical
knowledge needed about target
audiences to develop messages and
campaigns about the use of animal
drugs, feed, food additives, and devices.
Knowledge of both the consumer and
the veterinary professional
decisionmaking processes will provide a
better understanding of target audiences
that FDA will need in order to design
effective communication strategies,
messages, and labels. These
communications will aim to improve
public understanding of the risks and
benefits of using regulated animal drugs,
feed, food additives, and devices by
providing users with a better context in
which to place risk information more
completely. Second, as initial testing, it
will allow FDA to assess the potential
effectiveness of messages and materials
in reaching and successfully
communicating with their intended
audiences. Testing messages with a
sample of the target audience will allow
