Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requests approval for a 3year clearance to collect data using rapid qualitative inquiries to understand issues related to HIV prevention, care, and treatment in the United States. Rapid inquiries are concentrated data collection and iterative data analytic efforts focused on timely and relevant responses to urgent issues and research questions. Although we will collect the PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 majority of data using qualitative methods, many studies covered under this generic information collection, will involve a mixed methods approach for data collection. The rapid inquiries will include multiple well-established qualitative methodologies, which may include but not be limited to in-depth individual interviews, focus groups, direct observations, case studies, document reviews, or brief quantitative surveys assessing demographics, behaviors, attitudes, intentions, beliefs, or other attributes of the respondents. In some assessments, additional contextual information may be collected, such as information about the respondents’ community, workplaces, or organizations and places where they interact. CDC expects to collect qualitative data from approximately 1,800 respondents, assuming three research studies per year with each research study collecting data from 200 respondents. For all proposed studies under this generic information collection, our efforts are expected to provide insight regarding a wide array of HIV-related programs designed for various populations throughout the United States, including but not limited to: Persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH); persons at elevated risk for acquiring new HIV infection or transmitting existing HIV infection to others; clinicians or other HIV care providers; men who have sex with men (MSM); transgender persons; injection and noninjection drug users; incarcerated populations or ex-prisoners; commercial sex workers; male and female heterosexual groups at high risk for HIV infection; and other providers and organizations (e.g., health departments, community-based organizations, public and private health clinics, advocacy groups, community groups, or other governmental and nongovernmental organizations) serving or otherwise interacting with persons at greatest need for HIV prevention, care, and treatment. Recruitment procedures will vary slightly based on the target population and research design of each information collection submitted under this generic information collection. Partner organizations such as public and private health clinics and community-based organizations that serve the target populations in the respective geographic locations may be contacted for their assistance in recruitment of potential respondents. Respondents may be identified and selected as key informants and invited to participate by contractor staff members. E:\FR\FM\28MYN1.SGM 28MYN1 30463 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 102 / Thursday, May 28, 2015 / Notices Sampling recruitment methods may include, but not be limited to: Use of social networking sites, the Internet, print marketing materials, and other methods to find and enroll respondents into the research study. All data collection tools will be pretested and interviews conducted by trained personnel. The data collection will take place at a time and place that is convenient to the respondent. Locations will be private. Data collection may be audio-recorded and transcribed with the consent of the respondent. The data collections supported under this generic information collection will be used to provide insight regarding barriers and facilitators to HIV prevention, care, and treatment in the United States and territories, and thus suggest ways CDC might improve programmatic activities along the continuum of HIV prevention, treatment and care.

This Alert contained Appendix A which was a list of drugs that were deemed to be hazardous and may require special handling. This list of hazardous drugs was updated in 2010, 2012 and 2014 and covered all new approved drugs and drugs with new warnings up to December 2011 (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2014138). Between January 2012 and December 2013, 60 new drugs received FDA approval and 270 drugs received new warnings based on reported adverse effects in patients. From this list of 330 drugs, 44 drugs were identified by NIOSH as potential hazardous drugs. In addition to these 44 drugs, the panel members were asked to comment on the addition of one drug requested by several stakeholders. Three additional drugs had safe handling recommendations from the manufacturer and NIOSH is following these recommendations. Therefore, these 3 drugs will be listed as hazardous without requiring further review. A panel consisting of peer reviewers and stakeholders was asked to review and comment on the 45 potentially hazardous drugs. Reviewers were not asked to provide a consensus opinion E:\FR\FM\28MYN1.SGM 28MYN1

    Using Rapid Assessment Methods to Understand Issues in HIV 
Prevention, Care and Treatment in the United States--New--National 
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requests approval 
for a 3-year clearance to collect data using rapid qualitative 
inquiries to understand issues related to HIV prevention, care, and 
treatment in the United States. Rapid inquiries are concentrated data 
collection and iterative data analytic efforts focused on timely and 
relevant responses to urgent issues and research questions. Although we 
will collect the majority of data using qualitative methods, many 
studies covered under this generic information collection, will involve 
a mixed methods approach for data collection.
    The rapid inquiries will include multiple well-established 
qualitative methodologies, which may include but not be limited to in-
depth individual interviews, focus groups, direct observations, case 
studies, document reviews, or brief quantitative surveys assessing 
demographics, behaviors, attitudes, intentions, beliefs, or other 
attributes of the respondents. In some assessments, additional 
contextual information may be collected, such as information about the 
respondents' community, workplaces, or organizations and places where 
they interact. CDC expects to collect qualitative data from 
approximately 1,800 respondents, assuming three research studies per 
year with each research study collecting data from 200 respondents.

our efforts are expected to provide insight regarding a wide array of 
HIV-related programs designed for various populations throughout the 
United States, including but not limited to: Persons living with HIV/
AIDS (PLWH); persons at elevated risk for acquiring new HIV infection 
or transmitting existing HIV infection to others; clinicians or other 
HIV care providers; men who have sex with men (MSM); transgender 
persons; injection and noninjection drug users; incarcerated 
populations or ex-prisoners; commercial sex workers; male and female 
heterosexual groups at high risk for HIV infection; and other providers 
and organizations (e.g., health departments, community-based 
organizations, public and private health clinics, advocacy groups, 
community groups, or other governmental and nongovernmental 
organizations) serving or otherwise interacting with persons at 
greatest need for HIV prevention, care, and treatment.
    Recruitment procedures will vary slightly based on the target 
population and research design of each information collection submitted

as public and private health clinics and community-based organizations 
that serve the target populations in the respective geographic
