SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
Background and Brief Description
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
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; (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; 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.
In the United States, legal authority
for the registration of vital events, i.e.,
births, deaths, marriages, divorces, fetal
deaths, and induced terminations of
pregnancy, resides individually with the
States (as well as cities in the case of
New York City and Washington, DC)
and Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
Guam, American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands. These governmental entities are
the full legal proprietors of vital records
and the information contained therein.
As a result of this State authority, the
collection of registration-based vital
statistics at the national level, referred
to as the U.S. National Vital Statistics
System (NVSS), depends on a
cooperative relationship between the
States and the Federal government. This
data collection, authorized by 42 U.S.C.
242k, has been carried out by NCHS
since it was created in 1960.
NCHS assists in achieving the
comparability needed for combining
data from all States into national
statistics, by conducting a training
program for State and local vital
statistics staff to assist in developing
expertise in all aspects of vital
registration and vital statistics. The
training offered under this program
includes courses for registration staff,
statisticians, and coding specialists, all
designed to bring about a high degree of
uniformity and quality in the data
provided by the States. This training
program is authorized by 42 U.S.C.
242b, section 304(a). NCHS notifies
State and local vital registration
officials, as well as Canadian
counterparts, about upcoming training.
Individual candidates for training then
submit an application form including
name, address, occupation, and other
relevant information.
In this revision, the application for
the Vital Statistics Training is being
updated to capture additional logistical
information. NCHS is requesting a threeyear clearance to collect information
using these training application forms.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

Proposed Project
Understanding Barriers and
Facilitators to HIV prevention for Men
Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)—Pulse
Study—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 National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP)/Division of HIV/AIDS
Prevention (DHAP) is requesting a oneyear approval for a study-related data
collection entitled, ‘‘Understanding
Barriers and Facilitators to HIV
prevention for Men Who Have Sex with
Men (MSM).’’ The purpose of this study
is to conduct primarily qualitative
research with most at risk HIV-negative
MSM.
There are four goals to this study: (1)
Understand issues surrounding HIV risk
for MSM; (2) learn more about how gay
community or peer norms, and
community identification influence risk
behaviors; (3) understand individual
HIV risk management, such as having an
HIV-positive partner with suppressed
viral load, barriers and facilitators for
use of biomedical interventions (i.e.,
pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), nonoccupational post-exposure prophylaxis
(nPEP); and (4) understand factors that
promote resiliency among HIV-negative
MSM.
The present research will be
conducted in the top five Southern
metropolitan areas in the United States
with the highest HIV diagnoses for
MSM–Atlanta, Georgia; Jackson,
Mississippi; Miami, Florida; and New
Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
These cities rank among those in the
South with the highest prevalence and
incidence of HIV and STIs among black/
African American and Hispanic/Latino
MSM.
The study population will consist of
black/African-American and Hispanic/
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Latino (1) male adolescents who are
attracted to men and report they are HIV
negative or have not been tested and (2)
adult MSM who are recently tested and
verified as HIV-negative. All study
participants will be 13 years of age or
older. Participants will be recruited in
the selected cities through referrals from
Health Departments, clinics and
community based organizations (CBOs).
For the purposes of this study, we
will use a primarily qualitative research
design and will include a brief
quantitative survey to reduce
participant burden where possible (for
example, when we do not need to know
an in-depth answer for sociodemographics, HIV testing history,
housing status, health insurance status).
The first portion of the interview
instrument consists of brief structured
demographic questions to characterize
the respondents. The second portion of
the instrument consists of open-ended
in-depth qualitative questions. This
research design was chosen based on
the exploratory nature of our study
purpose. All interviews will be
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.
Recruitment will consist of health
departments and CBOs who conduct
testing to give HIV negative males who
meet the recruiting eligibility criteria
the study flyer following post-result
counseling.
We estimate one minute for the flyer
distribution. We anticipate screening a
total of 300 respondents, at various
locations, and anticipate the screening
process to take five minutes per
respondent for a total of 26 burden
hours. Of the 300 respondents screened,
we anticipate a 50% response rate. We
anticipate that recording a participant’s
contact information to take one minute
per respondent for a total of three
burden hours for the 150 participants.
We will conduct a one-hour in depth
interview for HIV-negative MSM
(minors and adults) that will take a total
of 150 burden hours for all 150 study
participants.
The total number of burden hours is
184.
