Proposed Project Awardee Lead Profile Assessment (ALPA)—NEW—National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is requesting a threeyear OMB approval for a new information collection request (ICR) titled ‘‘Awardee Lead Profile Assessment (ALPA).’’ The goal of this information collection project is to obtain program management information from participating state and local governments that are awardees under the CDC Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (HHLPPP) FY17 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA No. CDC–RFA– EH17–1701PPHF17). CDC will use this PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Number of responses per respondent Number of respondents Form name 2 2 2 2 Average Burden per response (in hours) 30/60 30/60 annual information collection to: (1) Identify common characteristics of funded childhood lead poisoning prevention programs; and (2) inform guidance and resource development in support of the ultimate program goal, which is blood lead elimination in children. The public dissemination of these ALPA results will ensure that both funded and non-funded jurisdictions are able to: (1) Identify policies and other factors that support or hinder childhood lead poisoning prevention efforts; (2) understand what strategies are being used by funded public health agencies to implement childhood lead poisoning prevention activities; and (3) use this knowledge to develop and apply similar strategies to support the national agenda to eliminate childhood lead poisoning. CDC will collect this program management information annually from 48 awardees, using two data collection modes. We anticipate that the majority, 40 respondents, will choose the web survey due to the ease of use, and that 8 respondents will choose the Word format mode. We estimate the time burden to be the same, 7 minutes per response, regardless of data collection mode (web survey or Word format). This estimate is based on a 2015 survey among 35 former awardees titled ‘‘Baseline Profile of State and Local Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs (PROF–LEAD),’’ approved under the generic clearance for ‘‘Information Collections to Advance State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial (STLT) Governmental Health’’ (OMB Control No. 0920–0879; expiration date 03/31/ 2018). Based on the success of the PROF–LEAD survey, the ALPA questionnaire, with a few revisions, is now proposed as an annual reporting requirement for awardees under the FY17 FOA. There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. The total annual time burden requested is 6 hours. E:\FR\FM\20OCN1.SGM 20OCN1

Proposed Project

    Promoting Adolescent Health through School-Based HIV/STD Prevention 
(OMB Control Number 0920-1049, Expiration Date 2/28/2018)--Extension--
National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The proposed project is a semi-annual Web-based questionnaire to 
assess programmatic activities among funded agencies which include 
local education agencies (LEA), state education agencies (SEA), and 
non-governmental organizations (NGO) funded by the Division of 
Adolescent and School Health (DASH), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention.
    Currently, the questionnaires are the only standardized reporting 
process for HIV/STD prevention activities among LEAs, SEAs, and NGOs 
funded by DASH. The nine questionnaires will seek data that: (1) 
Provides standardized information about how HIV/STD prevention funds 
are used by funded agencies; (2) provides descriptive and process 
information about program activities; and (3) provides greater 
accountability for use of public funds.
    Funded agencies will complete the questionnaires on a Web site 
managed by DASH and its contractor, Karna. Respondents will complete 
the questionnaires on a semi-annual basis.
    The questionnaires pertain to the approaches that funded agencies 
are using to meet their goals. Approaches include helping districts and 
schools deliver exemplary sexual health education (ESHE) emphasizing 
HIV and other STD prevention; increasing adolescent access to key 
sexual health services (SHS); and establishing safe and supportive 
environments (SSE) for students and staff.
    Each SEA complete activities for all approaches. Therefore, each 
SEA will complete a questionnaire for each approach (ESHE, SHS, and 
SSE). Likewise, each LEA will be completing activities for all 
approaches. Therefore, each LEA will complete a questionnaire for each 
approach (ESHE, SHS, and SSE). Each NGO will respond to the 
questionnaire for the approach they are implementing in support of SEAs 
or LEAs. Two NGOs will respond to the ESHE questionnaire, two NGOs will 
respond to the SHS questionnaire, and two NGOs will respond to the SSE 
questionnaire.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The 
estimated annualized time burden for all funded agencies is 820 hours.
