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
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.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Background and Brief Description
CDC seeks to request a two-year OMB
approval to collect data related to a
project entitled ‘‘Evaluation of TransLife

Combination Prevention Intervention
for Transgender Women at High Risk for
HIV Infection.’’ With this study, CDC

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 20 / Tuesday, January 30, 2018 / Notices
seeks to evaluate the efficacy of TLC,
which provides combination
(biomedical, behavioral and social/
structural) HIV prevention and care
services to adult transgender women at
high risk for HIV infection, in a
culturally specific and accessible
environment.
The information collected will help
evaluate whether the TLC intervention
is an effective HIV-prevention strategy
by assessing whether exposure to TLC
services results in improvements in
participants’ health and HIV prevention
behaviors. In addition, CDC will assess
whether intervention participants’
behaviors significantly change from
baseline to 4 and 8-month follow-up
periods.
CDC will conduct the study in the
TLC program’s home base of Chicago,
Illinois. The study population will
include 150 HIV-negative adult
transgender women living in the
Chicago metropolitan area. Participants
will be at least 18 years of age; selfidentify as transgender, transsexual,
women and/or female whom had
assigned male sex at birth; and have a
self-reported history of sex with men in
the past four months. The study
population will also include 10 TLC
staff members. Staff members will be
CDC will also examine intervention
experiences through semi-structured
interview with 20 of the 150 TLC
participants and 10 TLC staff members
involved in the delivery of services
through the TLC intervention. The
interviews will capture participants and
staff views about the TLC
implementation process, the process
through which the TLC intervention
influences HIV risk behavior, and the
role of the intervention in addressing
social determinates of health (housing,
employment, legal issues, health care
access).
CDC expects that 50% of transgender
women screened will meet study
eligibility and the initial screening to
take approximately four minutes to
complete. It will take respondents one
minute to provide contact information.
On three occasions, CDC will administer
the assessment to 150 participants. The
assessment will take 60 minutes (1
hour) to complete. On a single occasion,
CDC will administer the interview to 30
participants (20 intervention
participants and 10 TLC staff). The
interview will take 60 minutes (1 hour)
to complete.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
252.
adults, involved in the delivery of TLC
intervention services.
CDC anticipates enrollment of a
diverse sample of transgender women
comprised mainly of racial/ethnic
minority participants under 35 years of
age, consistent with the current TLC
program and the epidemiology of HIV
infection among transgender women.
Intervention participants recruited to
the study through a combination of
approaches, including traditional print
advertisement, referral, in-person
outreach, and through word of mouth.
TLC staff members will randomly
selected to participate in the evaluation.
CDC will use a quantitative
assessment to collect information for
this study. Researchers will deliver the
assessment at the time of study
enrollment and again at 4-month and 8month follow-ups. CDC will use the
assessment to measure changes in
sexual risk behavior including condom
use and pre-exposure prophylaxis
(PrEP) care engagement. Intervention
mediators, including gender affirmation,
collective self-esteem and social
support, and intervention satisfaction
measured. Participants will complete
the assessment at baseline and again at
4- and 8-month follow-ups after joining
the TLC program.
