The number of respondents is approximately 60. On average, each respondent will request categorizations (independent of a 510(k) or PMA) 15 times per year. The cost, not including personnel, is estimated at $52 per hour (52 × 900), totaling $46,800. This includes the cost of copying and mailing copies of package inserts and a cover letter, which includes a statement of the reason for the request and reference to the original 510(k) numbers, including regulation numbers and product codes. The burden hours are based on FDA familiarity with the types of documentation typically included in a sponsor’s categorization requests, and costs for basic office supplies (e.g., paper).

Information Collection Request Title: Building Futures: Supporting Youth Living with HIV OMB No. 0915–xxxx New. Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP), administered by the HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau (HRSA/HAB), provides HIV-related services in the United States for people living with HIV (PLWH) who do not have sufficient health care coverage or financial resources to pay for HIV-related services. Fourteen percent of the approximately 512,000 RWHAP clients in 2014 were young adults between the ages of 13 and 30.1 HRSA/HAB has awarded a contract, Building Futures: Supporting Youth Living with HIV, to identify and document best-practices and challenges associated with providing HIV care to youth living with HIV. Information learned from high performing and low performing sites serving young people living with HIV (aged 13–24 years) will help identify effective strategies and barriers for helping this population reach viral suppression. The high performing and low performing sites will be chosen from RWHAP-funded providers based on health outcome data from the 2014 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Services Report. Information gathered at these visits will help inform technical assistance (TA) conducted at low performing sites, as well as additional TA products to be made available to other RWHAP providers to improve health outcomes for young people living with HIV. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Youth (defined for the purposes of this project as age 13 through 24) in the United States are disproportionately impacted by HIV. In 2014, 9,731 (22 percent) of the 44,073 new HIV diagnoses in the U.S. were among youth between the ages of 13 and 24, with a large majority (81 percent) of these youth diagnoses among older youth aged 20–24.2 Young people living with HIV also experience disparities in outcomes along the HIV care continuum.3 Among RWHAP clients in 2014, older youth aged 20–24 had the lowest rates of retention in care and both 15–19 year olds and 20–24 year olds had notably lower rates of viral load suppression as compared to other age groups. Additionally, certain subpopulations such as young men who have sex with men (MSM) of color, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth (LGBTQ), and young women of color bear a disproportionate share of the disease burden and have poorer outcomes in the areas of retention in care and viral suppression.4 5 The Building Futures: Supporting Youth Living with HIV project aims to strengthen RWHAP engagement with young people aged 13–24 living with HIV to improve their health outcomes. Through this project, HRSA/HAB will systematically document strategies used by providers funded by the RWHAP to achieve high rates of youth retention in care and viral suppression. HRSA/HAB will also learn about gaps and challenges from providers that have demonstrated poorer outcomes in these areas. Specialized Site Visits will be conducted with 10 high performing providers to identify, understand, and document replicable evidence-based best practices and models of care. Interviews will be conducted with program support and clinical staff, in addition to HIV-positive youth patients. HIV-positive youth leaders will be engaged as consultants to the site visit team to pretest instruments, review site visit conclusions with the project team, and offer a perspective of young people living with HIV on the data gathered from the high-performing sites and implementation of changes to improve performance of lower performing sites. Performance Improvement Site Visits will be conducted with 16 lower performing providers to better understand the gaps and challenges to providing RWHAP care to youth, share best practices and lessons learned from high performing providers, and provide action-oriented TA to overcome barriers and optimize health outcomes. Youth consultants will co-lead a panel/ advisory board of young people living with HIV and a planning session to better understand technical assistance implementation issues. Sampled providers will be selected based on viral load and retention in care rates and the diversity of client populations, as identified in 2014 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Services Report data. Likely Respondents: Clinics funded by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information requested. 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.

The AETCs’ purpose is to increase the number of health care providers who are effectively educated and motivated to counsel, diagnose, treat, and medically manage individuals with HIV infection, and to help prevent high risk behaviors that lead to HIV transmission. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: As part of an ongoing effort to evaluate AETC activities, information is needed on AETC training sessions, consultations, and technical assistance activities. Each regional center collects information on AETC training events, and is required to report aggregate data on their activities to HRSA. The data provides information on the number of training events, including clinical trainings and consultations, as well as technical assistance activities conducted PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 by each regional center, the number of health care providers receiving professional training or consultation, and the time and effort expended on different levels of training and consultation activities. In addition, information is obtained on the populations served by AETC trainees, and the increase in capacity achieved through training events. Collection of this information allows HRSA to provide information on training activities and types of education and training provided to Ryan White HIV/ AIDS Program recipients, resource allocation, and capacity expansion. Likely Respondents: Trainees are asked to complete the Participant Information Form once a year and trainers are asked to complete an Event Record for each training event they conduct during the year. In addition, each regional AETC (8 total) will compile these data into a data set and submit to HRSA once a year. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. 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.
