Download as PDF 22193 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 76 / Tuesday, April 21, 2015 / Notices Adolescent and School Health (DASH) under strategy 4 (School-Centered HIV/ STD Prevention for Young Men Who Have Sex with Men) of PS13–1308: Promoting Adolescent Health through School-Based HIV/STD Prevention and School-Based Surveillance. This information collection will provide data and reports for the three funded LEAs, and will allow each LEA to identify areas of the partnerships with CBOs and HWCs that are working well and other areas that will need additional improvement. In addition, the findings will allow CDC to determine the potential impact of currently recommended strategies and make changes to those recommendations if necessary. This information collection system involves administration of a web-based questionnaire to no more than 60 total staff members who work for up to 60 CBOs and HWCs that are participating in the HIV/STD prevention project with the three LEAs (Broward County Public Schools in Broward County, Florida; Los Angeles Unified School District in Los Angeles, California; and San Francisco Unified School District in San Francisco, California) funded by CDC cooperative agreement PS13–1308. These LEAs represent all funded LEAs under Strategy 4 of PS13–1308. The questionnaire will include questions on the following topics: Services offered by the organization and the organization’s relationships with the school district and participating schools in the LEA. The Web-based instrument will be administered in 2015 and again in 2016 and 2018. These data collection points coincide with the initiation of project activities, the mid-way point, and endpoint of the PS13–1308 cooperative agreement. Although some respondents may participate in the data collection in multiple years, this is not a longitudinal design and individual staff member responses will not be tracked across the years. No personally identifiable information will be collected and data will only be reported in the aggregate to protect the CBOs and HWCs being represented. All respondents will receive informed consent forms prior to participation in the information collection. The consent form explains the study and also explains that participants may choose not to complete the Web-based questionnaire with no penalty and no impact on their job or relationship with the LEA. Participation is completely voluntary. For the Web-based questionnaire, the estimated burden per response is about 60 minutes (1 hour). This estimate of burden is an average and takes into account that the length of the questionnaire for each respondent will vary slightly due to the skip patterns that may occur with certain responses, variations in the reading speed of respondents, and variations in the time required to collect the information needed to complete the questionnaire. The estimated annualized burden of this data collection is 60 hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.

Both programs will apply public health strategies to reduce tobacco use and exposure, improve nutrition, increase physical activity, and improve access to opportunities for chronic disease prevention, risk reduction, and management. The Partnerships to Improve Community Health (PICH) program (Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DP14–1417) will promote the use of evidence- and practice-based strategies to create or strengthen healthy environments that make it easier for people to make healthy choices and take charge of their health. The 39 PICH awardees include both state and local governmental agencies and nongovernmental organizations. Awardees will work through multisector community coalitions of businesses, schools, nonprofit organizations, and other community organizations. Projects will serve three types of geographic areas: Large cities and urban counties, small cities and counties, and American Indian tribes. The new Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) cooperative agreement (FOA DP14–1419PPHF14) builds on previous REACH program activities that began in 1999 with a focus on racial and ethnic communities experiencing health disparities.

The maximum number of respondents is 352 (88 awardees × 4 respondents/awardee). Because the REACH and PICH awards aim to promote collaborative, multisector efforts, respondents will be associated with both private sector entities and state, local, and tribal government entities. The same survey instrument will be administered to all respondents, however the estimated burden per response varies according to the respondent’s project role and responsibilities. Information will be collected using a Web-based platform. Data collection and management will be conducted by a contractor on behalf of CDC. A telephone interview option is available for respondents who prefer this mode of participation. Findings will enable DCH to develop appropriate training activities that best support awardees’ community efforts to fulfill their funded objectives. OMB approval is requested for two years. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 237. nongovernmental organizations, tribes and tribal organizations, Urban Indian Health Programs, and tribal and intertribal consortia. Of these awardees, 17 are receiving funds for basic implementation activities, and 32 are receiving funds to immediately expand their scope of work to improve health and reduce health disparities. REACH is financed in part by the Prevention and Public Health Fund of the Affordable Care Act. CDC proposes to collect information needed to assess and prioritize the training needs of PICH and REACH awardees and key collaborators. A DCH Training Needs Assessment survey will be conducted at two points in time: once near the beginning of the project period (approximately third quarter of 2015) and again in the second year of the project period (last quarter of 2016). The first administration of the survey will provide an initial assessment of awardee needs at program start-up. The second administration of the needs assessment will identify any new or modified training needs that arise as awardees progress in their cooperative agreement activities. Questions within the needs assessment focus on awardee preferences for training modalities as well as facilitators and barriers to training access.

Proposed Project

    Division of Community Health (DCH) Awardee Training Needs 
Assessment--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established 
the Division of Community Health (DCH) to support multi-sector, 
community-based programs that promote healthy living. To support these 
efforts, DCH announced two new cooperative agreement programs in 2014,

Act. Both programs will apply public health strategies to reduce 
tobacco use and exposure, improve nutrition, increase physical 
activity, and improve access to opportunities for chronic disease 
prevention, risk reduction, and management.
    The Partnerships to Improve Community Health (PICH) program 
(Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DP14-1417) will promote the use 
of evidence- and practice-based strategies to create or strengthen 
healthy environments that make it easier for people to make healthy 
choices and take charge of their health. The 39 PICH awardees include 
both state and local governmental agencies and nongovernmental 
organizations. Awardees will work through multi-sector community 
coalitions of businesses, schools, nonprofit organizations, and other 
community organizations. Projects will serve three types of geographic 
areas: Large cities and urban counties, small cities and counties, and 
American Indian tribes.
    The new Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) 
cooperative agreement (FOA DP14-1419PPHF14) builds on previous REACH 
program activities that began in 1999 with a focus on racial and ethnic 
communities experiencing health disparities. The 49 new REACH awardees 
include local governmental agencies, community-based nongovernmental 
organizations, tribes and tribal organizations, Urban Indian Health 
Programs, and tribal and intertribal consortia. Of these awardees, 17 
are receiving funds for basic implementation activities, and 32 are 
receiving funds to immediately expand their scope of work to improve 
health and reduce health disparities. REACH is financed in part by the 
Prevention and Public Health Fund of the Affordable Care Act.
    CDC proposes to collect information needed to assess and prioritize 
the training needs of PICH and REACH awardees and key collaborators. A 
DCH Training Needs Assessment survey will be conducted at two points in 
time: once near the beginning of the project period (approximately 
third quarter of 2015) and again in the second year of the project 
period (last quarter of 2016). The first administration of the survey 
will provide an initial assessment of awardee needs at program start-
up. The second administration of the needs assessment will identify any 
new or modified training needs that arise as awardees progress in their 
cooperative agreement activities. Questions within the needs assessment 
focus on awardee preferences for training modalities as well as 
facilitators and barriers to training access.
    Respondents will be staff members and coalition members associated 
with the 88 DCH awardees. Information will be requested from four 
individuals affiliated with each award: The principal investigator or 
program manager, the lead evaluation staff member, the lead media/
communications staff member, and a coalition member. The maximum number 
of respondents is 352 (88 awardees x 4 respondents/awardee). Because 
the REACH and PICH awards aim to promote collaborative, multi-sector 
efforts, respondents will be associated with both private sector 
entities and state, local, and tribal government entities.
    The same survey instrument will be administered to all respondents, 
however the estimated burden per response varies according to the 
respondent's project role and responsibilities. Information will be 
collected using a Web-based platform. Data collection and management 
will be conducted by a contractor on behalf of CDC. A telephone 
interview option is available for respondents who prefer this mode of 
participation.
    Findings will enable DCH to develop appropriate training activities 
that best support awardees' community efforts to fulfill their funded 
objectives.
    OMB approval is requested for two years. Participation is voluntary 
and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 237.
