Background and Brief Description
[60Day-12–12IN]
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) estimates that over 1
million people in the United States are
living with HIV. Each year,
approximately 50,000 people in the
United States become newly infected.
Some groups are disproportionately
affected by this epidemic. For example,
between 2006 and 2009, there was an
almost 50% increase in the number of
new HIV infections among young Black
men who have sex with men (MSM). In
order to address these health disparities,
the CDC funded 34 community-based
organizations via cooperative agreement
PS11–1113 to implement HIV
prevention programs targeting young
MSM of color and young transgender
persons of color.
Building the capacity of community
based organizations (CBOs) is a priority
to ensure effective and efficient delivery
of HIV prevention services. Since the
late 1980s, CDC has been working with
CBOs to broaden the reach of HIV
prevention efforts. Over time, the CDC’s
program for HIV prevention has grown
in size, scope, and complexity,
responding to changes in approaches to
addressing the epidemic, including the
introduction of new guidances; effective
behavioral, biomedical, and structural
interventions; and public health
strategies. The Capacity Building
Branch within the Division of HIV/AIDS
Prevention (D provides national
leadership and support for capacity
building assistance (CBA) to help
improve the performance of the HIV
prevention workforce. One way that it
accomplishes this task is by funding
CBA providers via cooperative
agreement PS09–906 to work with
CBOS, health departments, and
Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 and
send comments to Kimberly S. Lane, at
CDC, 1600 Clifton Road, MS–D74,
Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an email to
omb@cdc.gov.
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.
Proposed Project
Developing a Responsive Plan for
Building the Capacity of Community
Based Organizations (CBOs) to
Implement HIV Prevention Services—
communities to increase their
knowledge, skills, technology, and
infrastructure to implement and sustain
science-based, culturally appropriate
interventions and public health
strategies.
CBA providers will conduct face-toface field visits with the CBOs utilizing
a structured organizational needs
assessment tool that was developed in
collaboration with CDC. This
comprehensive tool offers a mixedmethods data collection approach
consisting of checklists, close-ended
(quantitative) questions, and openended (qualitative) questions. CBOs will
be asked to complete the tool prior to
the field visits in order to maximize
time during the visits for discussion and
strategic planning.
Findings from this project will be
used by the participating CBOs, the CBA
providers, and the Capacity Building
Branch. By the end of the project, the
participating CBOs will have tailored
CBA strategic plans that they can use to
help sustain their programs across and
beyond the life of their five-year
cooperative agreements. Based on these
plans, the CBA providers (in
collaboration with CDC) will be able to
better identify and address those needs
most reported by CBOs. Finally, the
Capacity Building Branch will be able to
refine its approach to conceptualizing
and providing CBA on a national level
in the most cost-effective manner
possible.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The CBA providers will
complete their field visits in one day (8
hours). Eighteen of the participating
CBOs are dually funded under both
PS11–1113 and PS10–1003; they
participated in a similar process under
the earlier cooperative agreement.
Therefore, they will not need to
complete the full tool nor participate in
a full-day field visit; the burden will be
reduced for these respondents.

Title: Developmental Disabilities
Protection & Advocacy Program
Statement of Goals and Priorities.
OMB No.: 0980–0270.
Description: Federal statute and
regulation require each State Protection
and Advocacy (P&A) System to prepare
and submit to public comment a
Statement of Goals and Priorities (SGP)
for the P&A for Developmental
Disabilities (PADD) program for each
coming fiscal year. While the P&A is
mandated to protect and advocate under
a range of different Federally authorized
disabilities programs, only the PADD
program requires an SGP. Following the
required public input for the coming
fiscal year, the P&As submit the final
version of this SGP to the
Administration on Developmental
Disabilities (ADD). ADD will aggregate
the information in the SGPs into a
national profile of programmatic
emphasis for P&A Systems in the
coming year. This aggregation will
provide ADD with a tool for monitoring
of the public input requirement.
Furthermore, it will provide an
overview of program direction, and
permit ADD to track accomplishments
against goals/targets, permitting the
formulation of technical assistance and
compliance with the Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993.
Respondents: State and Territory
Protection and Advocacy Systems.
