report an average of 15 TA requests per
year.
ATSDR Site Impact Assessment (SIA)
Form: For each environmental health
assessment and health education
activity conducted at ATSDR sites,
awardees must estimate and report the
number of people protected from
exposure to toxic substances at each site
where implementation of agency
recommendations has taken place and at
each child care center where safe siting
guidelines have been implemented. To
the extent possible, awardees must
estimate the disease burden prevented
due to the implementation of site
recommendations and safe siting
guidelines. This information will be
entered into the ATSDR SIA database by
the awardee. ATSDR assumes a
maximum of 150 ATSDR sites will
undergo an environmental assessment,
or an average of six sites per awardee,
per year.
APPLETREE Annual Performance
Report (APR): At the end of each budget
year, awardees must provide an APR,
including an updated Annual Plan of
Work (APOW) for the next budget year.
The report must include a synopsis of
the number of people involved in
environmental health assessments at
sites, the number of public health
recommendations accepted, the number
of health education activities conducted
at sites; and the outcomes achieved
during the budget year. The APR must
also demonstrate annual progress in
implementing child care safe siting
policies in their jurisdictions over the
three-year program period. ATSDR
assumes that APRs will take three
burden hours for each awardee to
prepare.
ATSDR Success Story Form: By the
end of the budget year, each awardee
must also submit a minimum of three
success stories to highlight the
programs’ annual accomplishments.
ATSDR estimates that awardees will
submit an average of four success stories
which will take one hour each to
prepare.
ATSDR seeks a three-year information
collection clearance. Awardee reporting
is a mandatory requirement of the
APPLETREE cooperative agreement.
The total annual time burden requested
is 272 hours.

Proposed Project
Assessing School-centered HIV/STD
Prevention Efforts in a Local Education
Agency (OMB Control No. 0920–0135;

Division of Adolescent and School
Health (DASH), National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
HIV infections remain high among
young men who have sex with men. The
estimated number of new HIV infections
increased between 2008 and 2010 both
overall and among MSM ages 13 to 24.
Furthermore, sexual risk behaviors
associated with HIV, other STD, and
pregnancy often emerge in adolescence.
For example, 2015 Youth Risk Behavior
Surveillance System (YRBSS) data
revealed 41.2% of U.S. high school
students reported having had sex, and
PO 00000
Frm 00046
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
17839
among those who had sex in the
previous three months, only 56.9%
reported having used a condom during
last sexual intercourse. In addition,
2015 YRBSS data revealed high school
students identifying as gay, lesbian, and
bisexual and those reporting sexual
contact with both males and females
were more likely to engage in sexual
risk-taking behaviors than heterosexual
students.
Given the disproportionate risk for
HIV among YMSM ages 13–24, it is
important to find ways to reach the
younger youth (i.e., ages 13–19) in this
range to decrease sexual risk behaviors
and increase health-promoting
behaviors such as routine HIV testing.
Schools provide one opportunity for
this. Because schools enroll more than
22 million teens (ages 14–19) and often
have existing health and social services
infrastructure, schools and their staff
members are well-positioned to connect
youth to a wide range of needed
services, including housing assistance,
support groups, and sexual health
services such as HIV testing. As a result,
CDC’s Division of Adolescent and
School Health (DASH) has focused a
number of HIV and STD prevention
efforts on strategies that can be
implemented in or centered on schools.
The CDC requests a one-year approval
to conduct a revised information
collection entitled, ‘‘Assessing SchoolCentered HIV/STD Prevention Efforts in
a Local Education Agency’’ (OMB
Control Number 0920–1035). This
revised information collection request
covers the third in a series of three data
collections; the previous two were
covered under the previously approved
information collection.
The information collection uses a selfadministered paper-pencil
questionnaire, the Youth Health and
School Climate Questionnaire, to assess
HIV and STD prevention efforts in one
local education agency (LEA) funded by
the CDC, Division of Adolescent and
School Health (DASH) under strategy 4
(School-Centered HIV/STD Prevention
for Young Men Who Have Sex with
Men) of PS13–1308: Promoting
Adolescent Health through SchoolBased HIV/STD Prevention and SchoolBased Surveillance.
This data collection will provide data
and reports for the funded LEA, and
will allow the LEA to identify program
areas that are working well and other
areas that need improvement. In
addition, the findings will allow CDC to
determine the potential impact of
currently recommended strategies and
make changes to those
recommendations if necessary. The
questionnaire will include questions on
E:\FR\FM\13APN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 70 / Thursday, April 13, 2017 / Notices
the following topics: demographic
information; HIV and STD risk
behaviors; use of HIV and STD health
services; experiences at school,
including school connectedness,
harassment and bullying, homophobia,
support of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ)
students; sexual orientation; receipt of
referral for HIV and STD prevention
health services; and health education.
This data collection system involves
administration of a paper-and-pencil
questionnaire to seven high schools that
are participating in the HIV/STD
prevention project of a local education
agency that is funded with support from
CDC’s PS13–1308 cooperative
agreement. The questionnaire, the
Youth Health and School Climate
Questionnaire, will be administered to
approximately 16,500 students across
the seven schools in the 2017–2018
children out of the study. In addition,
each student will be read verbal assent
language that explains he or she may
choose not to take the questionnaire or
may skip any questions in the
questionnaire with no penalty.
Participation is completely voluntary.
The estimated burden per response
ranges from 35–45 minutes. This
variation in burden is due to the slight
variability in skip patterns that may
occur with certain responses and
variations in the reading speed of
students. The burden estimate presented
here is based on the assumption of a 40minute response time per response.
Students will complete the
questionnaire only once under this
approval. Annualizing the collection
over one year results in an estimated
annualized burden of 11,000 hours for
respondents. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
school year. This is the third and final
data collection of a four-year project that
includes three data collections; previous
data collections occurred in December
2014 and December 2016. Data
collection points coincide with the
approximate beginning, mid-way, and
end points of the PS13–1308
cooperative agreement. We anticipate
the final data collection will yield data
from up to 16,500 high school students
in grades 9 through 12 at the selected
schools. Although some students may
have completed the questionnaire in
one or more of the previous years, this
is not a longitudinal design and
individual student responses will not be
tracked across the years. No personally
identifiable information will be
collected.
All students’ parents will receive
parental consent forms that provide
them with an opportunity to opt their

schools in the 2017-2018 school year. This is the third and final data
collection of a four-year project that includes three data collections;
previous data collections occurred in December 2014 and December 2016.
Data collection points coincide with the approximate beginning, mid-
way, and end points of the PS13-1308 cooperative agreement. We
anticipate the final data collection will yield data from up to 16,500
high school students in grades 9 through 12 at the selected schools.
Although some students may have completed the questionnaire in one or
more of the previous years, this is not a longitudinal design and
individual student responses will not be tracked across the years. No
personally identifiable information will be collected.
All students' parents will receive parental consent forms that
provide them with an opportunity to opt their children out of the
study. In addition, each student will be read verbal assent language
