Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 160 / Wednesday, August 19, 2015 / Notices
The Prevention Training Centers
(PTCs) and CBA providers are funded
by CDC/Division of STD Prevention
(DSTDP) and Division of HIV/AIDS
Prevention (DHAP) over the five-year
period to provide capacity-building
services that includes information,
training, and technical assistance. CBA
services are requested and provided to
support health departments,
community-based organizations, and
healthcare organizations in the
implementation, monitoring and
evaluation of evidence-based HIV
prevention interventions and programs;
building organizational infrastructure;
and community mobilization to
decrease stigma and increase HIV
testing in high risk communities. Under
this project, there will be no duplication
of information collection, because it
builds on existing, OMB approved data
collection activities.
The PTCs and CBA providers offer
classroom and experiential training,
web-based training, clinical
consultation, and capacity building
assistance to maintain and enhance the
capacity of healthcare professionals to
control and prevent STDs and HIV.
The CBA service recipients are
healthcare professionals such as,
physicians, nurses, and health
educators, etc., who work at
community-based organizations (CBOs),
health departments, and healthcare
organizations, most of whom are funded
directly or indirectly by the CDC,
involved in HIV prevention service
delivery.
CDC is requesting to use two webbased assessments that will be
administered to recipients of CBA
services: (1) Training Follow-Up
Instrument and (2) Technical Assistance
(TA) Satisfaction Instrument. The first
quantitative assessment will be
disseminated 90 days after a training
event to agency staff who participated in
a training activity. It takes
approximately 15 minutes to complete.
The purpose of this web-based
assessment is to determine the training
participants’ satisfaction with the
trainers, training materials, and the
course pace, benefits from the training,
and CBA needs, how relevant the
training was to their work, and whether
they were able to utilize the information
gained from the training. The second
quantitative assessment will be
disseminated 45 days after a technical
assistance event to agency staff who
participated in a technical assistance
and will take about 15 minutes. The
second assessment will measure
participants’ satisfaction with the
technical assistance they received,
intended or actual use of enhanced
capacity, barriers and facilitators to use,
and benefits of the technical assistance.
The purpose of the contractor
administered CBA Key Informant
Interview is to collect qualitative
information to assess the impact of CBA
services on organizational capacity (e.g.,
application of knowledge and skills,
potential organization changes as a
result of CBA services) and to solicit
information about how the CBA
program can be improved. These
interviews will be conducted via
telephone for up to 15 minutes with a
subset of up to 40 recipients of CBA
services.
The respondents represent an average
of the number of health professionals
who receive training and technical
assistance from the CBA and PTC
grantees. The data collection is
necessary (a) to assess CBA consumers’
(community-based organizations, health
departments, and healthcare
organizations) satisfaction with and
short-term outcomes from the overall
CBA program as well as specific
elements of the CBA program; (b) to
improve CBA services and enhance the
Capacity Building Branch’s national
capacity building strategy over time; (c)
to assess the performance of the grantees
in delivering training and technical
assistance and to standardize the
registration processes across the two
CBA programs (i.e., the PTC program
and the CBA program) and multiple
grantees funded by each program.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The estimated
annualized burden hours are 8,643
hours.

Proposed Project
National HIV Prevention Program
Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&E)
(OMB 0920–0696, Expiration 03/31/
2016)—Revision—National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a three-year
approval for revision to the previously
approved project.
The purpose of this revision is to
continue collecting standardized HIV
prevention program evaluation data
from health departments and
community-based organizations (CBOs)
who receive federal funds for HIV
prevention activities. Grantees have the
option of key-entering or uploading data
to a CDC-provided web-based software
application (EvaluationWeb®).
This revision includes changes to the
data variables to adjust to the different
monitoring and evaluation needs of new
funding announcements without a
change in burden. CDC is adjusting the
variables by deleting some of the clientlevel variables related to determining
risk factors during the HIV Testing
process and replacing these variables
with aggregate testing variables that
have previously been reported by
grantees as part of their progress reports.
This will streamline and simplify data
submission for the grantees.
The other significant change is to add
budget allocation data variables for
CBOs but offset that addition with
reductions in client-level variables and
conversion of some variables to
aggregate-level reporting. There are
other minor changes in variables and
values to adjust to new technologies and
interventions and to improve reporting
related to linkage to care and retention
in care for HIV positive persons.
However, the number of variables
deleted approximately equals the
number of variables added, so the net
result is no change in the grantee
reporting burden.
The evaluation and reporting process
is necessary to ensure that CDC receives
standardized, accurate, thorough
evaluation data from both health
department and CBO grantees. For these
reasons, CDC developed standardized
NHM&E variables through extensive
consultation with representatives from
health departments, CBOs, and national
partners (e.g., The National Alliance of
State and Territorial AIDS Directors,
Urban Coalition of HIV/AIDS
Prevention Services, and National
Minority AIDS Council).
CDC requires CBOs and health
departments who receive federal funds
for HIV prevention to report nonidentifying, client-level and aggregatelevel, standardized evaluation data to:
(1) Accurately determine the extent to
which HIV prevention efforts are carried
out, what types of agencies are
providing services, what resources are
allocated to those services, to whom
services are being provided, and how
these efforts have contributed to a
reduction in HIV transmission; (2)
improve ease of reporting to better meet
these data needs; and (3) be accountable
to stakeholders by informing them of
HIV prevention activities and use of
funds in HIV prevention nationwide.
CDC HIV prevention program grantees
will collect, enter or upload, and report
agency-identifying information, budget
data, intervention information, and
client demographics and behavioral risk
characteristics. Data collection will
include searching existing data sources,
gathering and maintaining data,
document compilation, grantee training,
review of data, and data entry or upload
into the web-based system.
There are no additional costs to
respondents other than their time. As
noted above, the number of added
variables is approximately equal to the
number of deleted variables, so there is
no change in burden hours from the
previously approved information
collection. The total estimated annual
burden hours are 206,226.
