Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). Prior to submitting that ICR to
OMB, OS seeks comments from the
public regarding the burden estimate,
below, or any other aspect of the ICR.
DATES: Comments on the ICR must be
received on or before January 20, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to
Information.CollectionClearance@

Information Collection Request Title:
Pregnancy Assistance Fund Feasibility
and Design Study (FADS).
Abstract: The Office of Adolescent
Health (OAH), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) is
requesting approval by OMB on a new
collection. The Pregnancy Assistance
Fund (PAF) evaluation will provide
information about program design,
implementation, and impacts through
two core components: A rigorous
assessment of program impacts and
implementation, and a descriptive
examination of program design. This
SUMMARY:
proposed information collection request
includes instruments related to the indepth implementation study that
complements the impact study. The
data collected from these instruments
will provide a detailed understanding of
program implementation.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The data will serve two
main purposes. First, the information
will enable the study team to produce
clear, detailed descriptions of each
intervention that is evaluated and the
counterfactual in each site. This
documentation is critical for
understanding the meaning of impact
estimates. Second, the data will be used
to assess fidelity of implementation and
the quality of program delivery. This
information is essential for determining
whether the interventions were
implemented well and whether the
evaluation provided a good test of each
site’s intervention.
Likely Respondents: The 140 program
administrators and case managers and
200 youth participants in 3 impact
study sites.

Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce public
burden, invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing information
collections, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To
request more information on the below
proposed project or to obtain a copy of
the information collection plan and
instruments, call 404–639–7570 or send
comments to Leroy A. Richardson, 1600
Clifton Road, MS–D74, Atlanta, GA
30333 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval. 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
subgroups or communities at greatest
risk of infection. The current study
addresses the need to assess the
effectiveness of these social marketing
messages aimed at increasing HIV
awareness and delivering HIV
prevention and testing messages among
at-risk populations.
This extension of an ongoing study
will evaluate the Act Against AIDS
(AAA) social marketing campaign aimed
at increasing HIV/AIDS awareness,
increasing prevention behaviors, and
improving HIV testing rates among
consumers. A total of 12,000
respondents were originally approved
for this generic ICR (0920–0920) and
since the original approval date, 1,250
respondents have participated in the
surveys under the following mini ICRs:
0920–13AHP; 0920–13YR and 0920–
13DD. The information collected from
each of the data collections were used
to evaluate specific AAA campaign
phases. We are requesting additional
time to continue to survey other AAA
target audiences and campaign phases
and measuring exposure to each phase
of the campaign and interventions
implemented under AAA. Through this
extension, we plan to reach the
remaining approved 10,750
respondents. In order to obtain the
remaining respondents, we anticipate
screening approximately 17,915
individuals.
Depending on the target audience for
the campaign phase, the study screener
will vary. The study screener may
address one or more of the following
items: race/ethnicity, sexual behavior,
and sexual orientation. Each survey will
have a core set of items asked in all
rounds, as well as a module of questions
relating to specific AAA activities and
communication initiatives.
Survey respondents will be selected
from a combination of sources,
including a national opt-in email list
sample and respondent lists generated
by partnership organizations (e.g., the
National Urban League, the National
Medical Association). A total of 10,750
participants will self-administer the
survey at home on personal computers
over a 3-year period.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.

minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this
notice.

Background and Brief Description
In response to the continued HIV
epidemic in our country, CDC has
launched Act Against AIDS, a 5-year,
multifaceted communication campaign
to reduce HIV incidence in the United
States. CDC plans to release the
campaign in phases, with some of the
phases running concurrently. Each
phase of the campaign will use mass
media and direct-to-consumer channels
to deliver HIV prevention and testing
messages. Some components of the
campaign will be designed to provide
basic education and increase awareness
of HIV/AIDS among the general public,
and others will be targeted to specific
