SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services policy stipulates that
committee membership be balanced in
terms of points of view represented, and
the committee’s function. Appointments
shall be made without discrimination
on the basis of age, race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity, HIV status, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic
status. Nominees must be U.S. citizens,
and cannot be full-time employees of
the U.S. Government. Current
participation on federal workgroups or
prior experience serving on a federal
advisory committee does not disqualify
a candidate; however, HHS policy is to
avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple
committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government
Employees (SGEs), requiring the filing
of financial disclosure reports at the
beginning and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates
for NIOSH BSC membership each year,
and provides a slate of nominees for
consideration to the Secretary of HHS
for final selection. HHS notifies selected
candidates of their appointment near
the start of the term in January 2019, or
as soon as the HHS selection process is
completed. Note that the need for
expertise varies from year to year and a
candidate who is not selected in one
year may be reconsidered in a
subsequent year. SGE Nominees must be

Candidates should submit the following
items:
D Current curriculum vitae, including
complete contact information (telephone
numbers, mailing address, email address).
D At least one letter of recommendation
from person(s) not employed by the U.S.

(Candidates may submit letter(s) from current
HHS employees if they wish, but at least one
letter must be submitted by a person not
employed by an HHS agency (e.g., CDC, NIH,
FDA, etc.).
Nominations may be submitted by the
candidate him- or herself, or by the
person/organization recommending the
candidate. The Director, Management
Analysis and Services Office, has been
delegated the authority to sign Federal

announcements of meetings and other
committee management activities for
both CDC and the Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry.

Program Act of 2000 to advise the
President on a variety of policy and
technical functions required to
implement and effectively manage the
new compensation program. Key
functions of the Advisory Board include
providing advice on the development of
probability of causation guidelines that
have been promulgated by the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) as a final rule; advice on
methods of dose reconstruction, which
have also been promulgated by HHS as
a final rule; advice on the scientific
validity and quality of dose estimation
and reconstruction efforts being
performed for purposes of the
compensation program; and advice on
petitions to add classes of workers to the
Special Exposure Cohort (SEC).
In December 2000, the President
delegated responsibility for funding,
staffing, and operating the Advisory
Board to HHS, which subsequently
delegated this authority to CDC. NIOSH
implements this responsibility for CDC.
The charter was issued on August 3,
2001, renewed at appropriate intervals,

reconstruction efforts performed for this
program; and (c) upon request by the
Secretary, HHS, advise the Secretary on
whether there is a class of employees at
any Department of Energy facility who
were exposed to radiation but for whom
it is not feasible to estimate their
radiation dose, and on whether there is
reasonable likelihood that such
radiation doses may have endangered

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 the 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
PO 00000

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.

Data Collection Through Web Based
Surveys for Evaluating Act Against
AIDS Social Marketing Campaign
Phases Targeting Consumers—
Extension—National Center for HIV/
AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In response to the continued HIV
epidemic in our country, CDC launched
Act Against AIDS (AAA), a multifaceted
communication campaign to reduce HIV
incidence in the United States in 2009.
CDC has released the campaign in
phases, with some of the phases running
concurrently. Each phase of the
campaign uses mass media and directto-consumer channels to deliver
messages. Some campaigns provide
basic education and increase awareness
of HIV/AIDS among the general public
whereas others emphasize HIV
prevention and testing among specific
subgroups or communities at greatest
risk of infection. CDC will also develop
new messages to address changes in
prevention science and subpopulations
affected by HIV. The proposed study
will assess the effectiveness of these
social marketing messages aimed at
increasing HIV/AIDS awareness,
increasing prevention behaviors, and
improving HIV testing rates among
consumers.
This extension of an ongoing study
will allow for continued evaluation of
the effectiveness of AAA social
marketing campaign through surveys
with consumers. A total of 10,750
respondents were approved for the
previously renewed generic ICR (0920–
0920) and since the approval date, 4,305
respondents were surveyed under the
