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 functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; ADDRESSES: E:\FR\FM\06DEN1.SGM 06DEN1 62865 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 234 / Thursday, December 6, 2018 / Notices 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. Proposed Project Web-based approaches to reach black or African American and Hispanic/ Latino MSM for HIV Testing and Prevention Services–New—National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of mailing out rapid HIV home-testing kits and additional testing promotion components to increase HIV testing among black/ African-American or Hispanic/Latino MSM. The findings from this research will assist local and state health departments, and community based organizations in making decisions on how to improve HIV testing and linkage to HIV prevention services for black/ African American and Hispanic/Latino men who have sex with men. The research study is a randomized control trial and all survey data will be collected over the internet. There will not be any in-person surveys. We will advertise the study on internet websites frequented by black and Hispanic MSM. People will click on a banner ad and will be taken to a study website that provides a brief overview of the study. Those who are interested in participating will complete a brief survey to determine their eligibility. Men who are eligible will complete registration information and then download a study phone app onto their smartphone. The app will allow them to complete a baseline survey. After completing the baseline survey, they will be randomized into one of three conditions. All participants will be sent a rapid HIV test kit and they will report their results to the study. Men assigned to all study arms will use the study app to complete study activities. All participants will have access to webbased HIV counseling upon request. Participants who report a positive HIV test result will be offered web-based HIV counseling if they have not previously requested counseling. Men assigned to the control arm will only have access to the study app and web-based counseling. Men assigned to one intervention arm will also be able to access another smartphone app (HealthMindr) that will allow them to engage in additional study activities. Men assigned to the second intervention arm will have access to a web-based forum (HealthEmpowerment) covering HIV prevention and not the HealthMindr app. At four months after enrollment, all participants will complete an online survey and will be offered additional HIV testing materials to complete. The subpopulation are individuals who: (1) Identify as African-American/ black or Hispanic/Latino; (2) report their HIV status as negative or report being unaware of their HIV status; (3) are not currently using PrEP or participating in other HIV testing prevention studies; (4) have had anal intercourse with another man in the past 12 months; (5) reside in one of the study states; (6) Are 18 years or older; (7) born male; and (8) identify as male. We will evaluate the comparative effectiveness of the HIV home-testing kits and additional testing promotion components with respect to linkage of participants to appropriate services (HIV treatment, PrEP, STI testing, additional prevention and social services). These analyses will determine whether any such differences are significant within and across study arms, and by race/ethnicity. Depending on the study arm to which participants are assigned, filling out data collection forms, engaging with testing promotion components, and completing and submitting at-home HIV testing will require between 2 hours 53 minutes and 4 hours and 13 minutes of a participant’s time over the course of the entire study period. The participation of respondents is voluntary. There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annual burden hours for the proposed project are 7,011 hours.

Proposed Project Asthma Information and Reporting System (AIRS)—Revision—National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description In 1999, the CDC began its National Asthma Control Program (NACP), a PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 public health approach to address the burden of asthma. The program supports the goals and objectives of ‘‘Healthy People 2020’’ for asthma, and is based on the public health principles of surveillance, partnerships, interventions, and evaluation. The CDC requests a 12-month approval to revise the ‘‘Asthma Information Reporting System (AIRS)’’ (OMB Control No. 0920–0853; expiration date 6/30/2019). Specifically, CDC seeks to make the following changes: • Increase the number of awardees from 23 to 25. • Increase the requested burden hours from 82 to 89. • Increase the number of optional performance measures (PMs) and decrease the number of required PMs, while still maintaining a total of 18 PMs. • Update the instructions for the data collection instruments to reflect the optional status of 5 of the 18 PMs and to clarify instructions that were commonly misinterpreted. • Update the Emergency Department Data and Hospital Discharge Data reporting forms to include example data submission templates for each awardee. Add a tab labeled ‘‘Technical Notes’’ within the Excel reporting form to collect clarifying information about the data from each awardee. • Add examples of Emergency Department Data and Hospital Discharge Data reporting forms to provide clarity on how data should be reported within the forms. • Update respondent costs to reflect current wage data from 2017. The 12-month approval will allow CDC to continue to monitor states’ program planning and delivery of public health activities and the programs’ collaboration with health care systems for the remainder of the fifth and final year of cooperative agreement EH14– 1404 (program period: September 2014– August 2019), and the third and final year of cooperative agreement EH16– 1606 (program period: September 2016– August 2019). The goal of this data collection is to provide NCEH with routine information about the activities and performance of the state and territorial awardees funded under the NACP through an annual reporting system. NACP requires awardees to report activities related to partnerships, infrastructure, evaluation and interventions to monitor the state programs’ performance in reducing the burden of asthma. AIRS also includes two forms to collect aggregate ED and HD data from awardees. AIRS was first approved by OMB in 2010 to collect data in a web-based E:\FR\FM\06DEN1.SGM 06DEN1
