Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission to OMB for Review and Approval; Public Comment Request; Information Collection Request Title: HRSA Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program AIDS Education and Training Centers Evaluation Activities, OMB No. 0915-0281-Revision, 21790-21791 [2019-09976]

Download as PDF 21790 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 94 / Wednesday, May 15, 2019 / Notices ingredients under section 904(a)(1) as most of these submissions are expected to be for products subject to the deeming compliance period. Based on FDA’s experience and the actual number of product ingredient listings submitted over the past 3 years, FDA estimates that 35 establishments will each submit 2 reports (1 every 6 months). FDA also estimates that the confirmation or updating of product (ingredient) listing information required by section 904(c) of the FD&C Act is expected to take 0.40 hour (24 minutes) and will take 48 minutes annually for two confirmations or updates per establishment, for a total 28 burden hours. FDA estimates that obtaining a DUNS (data universal numbering system) number will take 30 minutes. FDA assumes that all new establishment facilities that will be required to initially register under section 905 of the FD&C Act would obtain a DUNS number. FDA estimates that up to 100 establishments would need to obtain this number each year. The total industry burden to obtain a DUNS number is 50 hours. FDA estimates the total burden for this collection to be 830 hours. We have adjusted our burden estimate, which has resulted in a decrease of 93,086 hours to the currently approved burden. Based on data we reviewed from the past 3 years and projecting the number of remaining establishments that have not registered and submitted product ingredient listings, we revised the number of respondents and burden hours in this information collection. Dated: May 9, 2019. Lowell J. Schiller, Principal Associate Commissioner for Policy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: HRSA Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program AIDS Education and Training Centers Evaluation Activities: (OMB No. 0915– 0281) Revision. Abstract: The RWHAP AETC program, authorized by Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, supports a network of regional and national centers that conduct targeted, multidisciplinary education and training programs for health care providers serving people living with HIV (PLWH). The purpose of the RWHAP AETC program is to increase the size and strengthen the skills of the current and novice HIV clinical workforce in the United States and to develop and disseminate information on treatment and prevention of HIV to atrisk populations. Through the provision of specialized professional education and training, the RWHAP Regional AETCs aim to improve outcomes along the HIV care continuum including diagnosis, linkage, retention, and viral suppression and to reduce HIV incidence by improving the achievement and maintenance of viral load suppression of PLWH. In addition, the RWHAP AETC program includes the National Coordinating Resource Center (NCRC), which offers a virtual library of online training resources for adaptation by HIV care providers and other healthcare professionals to meet local training needs. The RWHAP AETC NCRC works closely with the HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) to coordinate cross-regional collaborative efforts, manage the NCRC website, plan and execute the national RWHAP Clinical SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Conference, and develop an online curriculum for clinical learners. The RWHAP AETC proposes several revisions to the Event Records (ER) and the Participant Information Form (PIF). The ER will have 11 new data elements; however, only 7 data elements will require responses from all respondents. The option to respond to the other four data elements will depend on how participants respond to previous questions. There are four data element deletions to the ER. The PIF will have one new data element that asks whether respondents prescribe antiretroviral therapy to their patients. Two data elements were deleted. These revisions reflect changes in the National AETC program guidance on reporting sources of funding and multi-session events. Despite a net increase of eight data elements across both the ER and PIF instruments, pilot respondents reported a decrease in burden. HRSA HAB modified the data instruments to help inform the evaluation of AETC outcomes, improve the logical flow of questions within each instrument and to improve the overall clarity of each of the questions being asked. A 60-day Federal Register Notice was published in the Federal Register on December 18, 2018, vol. 83, No. 242; pp. 64845–47. There were no public comments. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: As part of an ongoing effort to evaluate RWHAP AETC activities, information is needed on AETC training sessions, clinical consultations, and technical assistance activities. Each regional center collects information on RWHAP AETC training events and is required to report aggregate data on their activities to HRSA’s HAB. The goal of national data collection efforts is to create a uniform set of data elements that will produce an accurate summary of the national scope of RWHAP AETC professional training, consultation, and events. The elements included in the national database have been selected for their relevance in demonstrating the RWHAP AETCs’ efforts in achieving the program’s stated goals: To improve care for PLWH by providing education, training, and clinical consultation; and to provide support to clinicians and other providers. HRSA HAB uses the data collected when conducting programmatic assessments and to determine future program needs. The national data elements are intended to be a meaningful core set of elements that individual RWHAP AETCs can use in programmatic and strategic planning. HRSA HAB also uses this information to E:\FR\FM\15MYN1.SGM 15MYN1 21791 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 94 / Wednesday, May 15, 2019 / Notices respond to requests from HHS, Congress, and others. Likely Respondents: RWHAP AETC trainees are asked to complete the PIF either at the start or at conclusion of an event. Trainers are asked to complete an ER for each training event they conduct during the year. In addition, each regional RWHAP AETC (eight total) and the RWHAP AETC National Coordinating Resource Center will compile these data into a data set and submit to HRSA HAB once a year. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train Number of respondents Form name Number of responses per respondent personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
