Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 7, 2012 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
As part of a multi-component
evaluation plan for the Community
Transformation Grant program (CTG),
CDC is seeking OMB approval to collect
the information needed to conduct cost
and cost-benefit analyses relating to the
implementation of CTG-funded
community interventions. Using a
system dynamics approach, CDC also
plans to conduct simulation modeling
which will integrate the cost data with
other data to predict selected chronic
disease outcomes and their associated
monetary impacts under various
scenarios. CDC and NIH have previously
collaborated on the development of
analytic tools for system dynamics
modeling under more limited
conditions. The collection and analysis
of actual cost data from CTG awardees
will support the expansion and
refinement of these analytic tools with
respect to short-, intermediate- and
long-term outcomes for large-scale,
community-based programs that employ
multiple policy and environmental
change strategies.
Information to be collected from
participating CTG awardees includes
the interventions to be implemented;
expenditures for labor, personnel,
consultants, materials, travel, services,
and administration; in-kind
contributions; and partner organizations
and their expenditures. Information will
be collected electronically via a userfriendly, Web-based CTG Cost Study
Instrument (CTG–CSI). Respondents
will be a subset of 30 out of 35 CTG
awardees funded specifically for
implementation activities. CDC will
select awardees for participation in the
cost data collection based on a list of
priority interventions appropriate for
cost analysis.
Results of this data collection and
planned analyses, including
improvements in CDC’s analytic and
modeling tools, will be used to assist
CTG awardees, CDC, and HHS in
choosing intervention approaches for
particular populations that are both
beneficial to public health and costeffective.
OMB approval is requested for the
first three years of a five-year project.
CDC requests OMB approval by June 1,
2012, to initiate data collection on July
1, 2012. CDC plans to seek an extension
of OMB approval to support information
collection through the end of the fiveyear award period.
Information will be collected
electronically on a quarterly schedule.
The estimated burden per response is 13
hours and there are no costs to
respondents except their time to
participate in the survey. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
1,560.

Proposed Project
Formative Research for the
Development of CDC’s Act Against
AIDS Social Marketing Campaigns
Targeting Consumers—New—National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
More than 1 million people are
estimated to be living with Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in the
United States. Estimates of HIV
incidence released by the CDC indicate
PO 00000
Frm 00080
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
that 56,300 people became infected with
HIV in 2006. HIV disproportionately
affects men, particularly men who have
sex with men (MSM) and AfricanAmerican men. HIV is also a real threat
to other communities at high risk such
as the Hispanic/Latino community.
In response to the continued HIV
epidemic in our country, CDC launched
Act Against AIDS (AAA) in 2009, a 5year, multifaceted communication
campaign consisting of several
campaigns targeting various high-risk
populations. The overall goals of AAA
are to increase HIV/AIDS awareness and
reduce HIV incidence in the United
States. Each AAA campaign uses mass
media and direct-to-consumer channels
to deliver HIV prevention, awareness,
and testing messages. Some campaigns
are designed to provide basic education
and increase awareness of HIV/AIDS
among the general public, and others are
targeted to specific subgroups or
communities at greatest risk for HIV
infection, including MSM, African
Americans, HIV-positive individuals
and other minority populations.
As part of the overarching AAA
campaign, CDC requests OMB approval
to collect information from consumer
groups over a three-year period. This
study will encompass four rounds of
data collection utilizing interviews,
focus groups, and brief surveys. The
E:\FR\FM\07MRN1.SGM

13609
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 7, 2012 / Notices
results from this data collections will be
used to develop AAA’s social marketing
campaigns designed to increase HIV/
AIDS awareness and knowledge,
understand HIV prevention behaviors,
improve HIV testing rates, challenge
commonly held misperceptions about
HIV, and promote HIV prevention and
risk reduction among consumers. The
research results will be used to develop
materials for six specific HIV social
marketing campaigns under the
umbrella of the larger Act Against AIDS
campaign. The campaigns will target
consumers aged 18–64. Some campaigns
will target the general public as a whole
and other campaigns will focus on
specific subpopulations at greatest risk
for HIV infection. The target audiences
will include Latinos, men who have sex
with men (MSM), HIV-positive
individuals and African Americans.
These data will assist CDC in addressing
the HIV prevention needs of specific
campaign audiences and make
appropriate funding decisions regarding
campaign development or campaign
direction.
Respondents will be members of the
targeted consumer groups aged 18–64
recruited from areas with high HIV/
AIDS prevalence and incidence such as
New York, NY; Los Angeles, CA;
Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; Atlanta,
GA; Miami, FL; Philadelphia, PA;
Houston, TX; San Francisco, CA;
Baltimore, MD; Dallas, TX or other cities
as appropriate. Respondents for this
data collection will participate in a
focus group, in-depth interview, or
intercept interview. Focus group and indepth interview respondents will be
recruited by professional recruiting
firms. The professional recruiting firms
will utilize a proprietary database of
individuals who have agreed to be
contacted for potential participation in
various studies. Project staff will recruit
intercept interview respondents in
venues where the general public tend to
gather, such as health fairs or other
community events.
Information collection will begin after
receiving approval and end three years
from approval. The study will screen
1,538 people per year for eligibility. Of
the 1,538 people screened, it is expected
that 500 people will participate in focus
groups, 500 people will participate in
in-depth interviews. All focus group
and in-depth interview participants will
complete a brief paper and pencil
survey. Seven hundred people will
participate in intercept interviews. The
total estimated burden for this one-time
data collection is 6,852 hours.
Annualizing this information over 3
years results in an estimated annualized
burden of 2,284 hours.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.

Eligibility Verification.
OMB No.: 0970–0374.
Description: The requirements for
establishing proof of eligibility for the
enrollment of children in Head Start
programs are documented in 45 CFR
1305.4(e). Each child’s record must
include a signed document by an
employee identifying those documents
which were reviewed to determine
eligibility. Presently there is no uniform
document which the employee must
sign. This form will be used to facilitate
an efficient and accurate determination
of children’s eligibility for Head Start
enrollment.
Respondents: Head Start grantees.
