Cohort’’ (the ‘‘Cohort’’). In brief,
EEOICPA authorizes HHS to designate
such classes of employees for addition
to the Cohort when NIOSH lacks
sufficient information to estimate with
sufficient accuracy the radiation doses
of the employees, and if HHS also finds
that the health of members of the class
may have been endangered by the
radiation dose the class potentially
incurred. HHS must also obtain the
advice of the Advisory Board on
Radiation and Worker Health (the
‘‘Board’’) in establishing such findings.
On May 28, 2004, HHS issued a rule
that established procedures for adding
such classes to the Cohort (42 CFR part
83). The rule was amended on July 10,
2007.
The HHS rule authorizes a variety of
respondents to submit petitions.
Petitioners are required to provide the
information specified in the rule to
qualify their petitions for a complete
evaluation by HHS and the Board. HHS
has developed two forms to assist the
petitioners in providing this required
information efficiently and completely.
Form A is a one-page form to be used
by EEOICPA claimants for whom
NIOSH has attempted to conduct dose
reconstructions and has determined that
available information is not sufficient to
complete the dose reconstruction. Form
B, accompanied by separate
instructions, is intended for all other
petitioners. Forms A and B can be
submitted electronically as well as in
hard copy. Respondent/petitioners
should be aware that HHS is not
requiring respondents to use the forms.
Respondents can choose to submit
petitions as letters or in other formats,
but petitions must meet the
informational requirements stated in the
rule. NIOSH expects, however, that all
petitioners for whom Form A would be
appropriate will actually use the form,
since NIOSH will provide it to them
upon determining that their dose
reconstruction cannot be completed and
encourage them to submit the petition.
NIOSH expects the large majority of
petitioners for whom Form B would be
appropriate will also use the form, since
it provides a simple, organized format
for addressing the informational
requirements of a petition.
NIOSH will use the information
obtained through the petition for the
following purposes: (a) Identify the
petitioner(s), obtain their contact
information, and establish that the
petitioner(s) is qualified and intends to
petition HHS; (b) establish an initial
definition of the class of employees
being proposed to be considered for
addition to the Cohort; (c) determine
whether there is justification to require
HHS to evaluate whether or not to
designate the proposed class as an
addition to the Cohort (such an
evaluation involves potentially
extensive data collection, analysis, and
related deliberations by NIOSH, the
Board, and HHS); and, (d) target an
evaluation by HHS to examine relevant
potential limitations of radiation
monitoring and/or dosimetry-relevant
records and to examine the potential for
related radiation exposures that might
have endangered the health of members
of the class.
Finally, under the rule, petitioners
may contest the proposed decision of
the Secretary to add or deny adding
classes of employees to the cohort by
submitting evidence that the proposed
decision relies on a record of either
factual or procedural errors in the
implementation of these procedures.
NIOSH estimates that the time to
prepare and submit such a challenge is
5 hours. Because of the uniqueness of
this submission, NIOSH is not providing
a form. The submission will typically be
in the form of a letter to the Secretary.
The estimated annual Burden Hours
are 41. There are no costs to
respondents unless a respondent/
petitioner chooses to purchase the
services of an expert in dose
reconstruction, an option provided for
under the rule.

Proposed Project
Evaluation of Enhancing HIV
Prevention Communication and
Mobilization Efforts through Strategic
Partnerships—New—National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In an effort to refocus attention on
domestic HIV and AIDS, CDC launched
the Act Against AIDS (AAA) initiative
in 2009 with the White House and the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services. AAA is a multifaceted national
communication initiative that supports
reduction of HIV incidence in the U.S.
through multiple, concurrent
communication and education
campaigns for a variety of audiences
including, the general public,
populations most affected by HIV and
health care providers. All campaigns
support the comprehensive HIV
prevention efforts of CDC and the
National HIV/AIDS Strategy.
Within this context, the CDC’s
Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention
(DHAP) is implementing various
partnership activities to increase HIV
awareness among the general public,
reduce new HIV infections among
disproportionately impacted
populations, and improve health
outcomes for people living with HIV
and AIDS in United States and its
territories. For example, DHAP is
funding the ‘‘Enhancing HIV Prevention
Communication and Mobilization
Efforts through Strategic Partnerships’’
program. Partners funded under the
partnership program will (1) support the
dissemination of Act Against AIDS
(AAA) campaign materials, messaging,
and other CDC resources that support
HIV prevention and (2) implement
national engagement efforts focusing on
HIV prevention and awareness. Partners
represent civil, media, and LGBTfocused organizations.
In addition, DHAP will continue to
support the Business Responds to AIDS
(BRTA) program. Founded in 1992, the
purpose of the BRTA program is to
engage and support the private sector in
promoting HIV education, awareness,
and policies in the workplace. This
partnership between CDC, business,
labor, and the public health sector aims
to encourage businesses to implement
HIV/AIDS policies and education
programs in the workplace with the
overarching goal of increasing public
understanding of, involvement in, and
support for HIV prevention. Other
partnership efforts serve the same
purpose: To increase HIV awareness
among the general public, reduce new
HIV infections among
disproportionately impacted
populations, and improve health
outcomes for people living with HIV
and AIDS in the United States and its
territories.
The project will evaluate the extent to
which activities implemented by
partners meet the initiative’s goals for
disseminating, communicating, and
engaging the public in HIV prevention
and education activities. We will collect
information from partners on their
activities for disseminating HIV
messages through materials distribution
at national and local events, media and
advertising, HIV testing facilitation, and
formation and coordination of strategic
partnerships; barriers and facilitators to
implementation of these activities, and
factors that may help contextualize their
progress towards meeting the initiative’s
goals; and their involvement in
promoting HIV education, awareness,
and policies in their organization. We
will collect this information through
these five sources: (a) Metrics Database:
Partners will be required to report
quarterly data to CDC and CDC’s
evaluation contractor through a metrics
database. (b) Biannual key informant
interviews: The point of contacts from
some partner organizations will be
interviewed twice yearly via telephone.
(c) Interim Progress Reports: Partners
will complete a standardized progress
report on a biannual basis via a userfriendly electronic form. The progress
reports will gather information on key
successes, facilitators and barriers, and
major achievements. (d) Partner Survey:
Partners will complete a brief online
survey to assess their involvement in
promoting HIV education, awareness,
and policies in their organization. (e)
Partnerships Activities Form: Partners
may be asked to complete a brief
electronic form to provide information
on each partner activity that they
complete. The form will collect
information on information such as the
type of event, the audience, and key
highlights; the number of HIV tests
administered (if any) and the number of
preliminary positives; the number and
type of materials distributed. This
information will allow CDC to know
what partners are doing to advance HIV
prevention and education, and how
CDC can alter their partnership efforts to
facilitate HIV prevention and education
in the future. The organization (and not
the individual) will be the unit of
analysis. As such, no personally
individually identifiable information
will be collected.
There is no cost to participants other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 5,083.

their partnership efforts to facilitate HIV prevention and education in
the future. The organization (and not the individual) will be the unit
of analysis. As such, no personally individually identifiable
