mixed methods design. It incorporates
views of persons with LEP through a
survey (via mail, online, telephone, or
in-person, depending on respondent
preference) and qualitative, in-depth
interviews (IDIs) (via telephone). It also
incorporates the views of persons who
will likely help persons with LEP
navigate and understand health
protection information during an
infectious disease emergency: Family,
physicians, and staff at communitybased organizations and local public
health agencies. IDIs will be conducted
with each group (via telephone).
CDC is requesting a two-year approval
for this information collection. The total
annualized burden hour estimate is 369
burden hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.

In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Performance
Monitoring of ‘‘Working with Publicly
Funded Health Centers to Reduce Teen
Pregnancy among Youth from
Vulnerable Populations’’ (OMB# 0920–
1156, Exp. 01/31/2020) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. A revision is
requested to reduce burden hours and
extend data collection through the end
of the funding period (09/30/2020). CDC
previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data
Collection Submitted for Public
Comment and Recommendations’’
notice on September 5, 2019 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC received three comments
related to the previous notice. This
notice serves to allow an additional 30
days for public and affected agency
comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.

The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(d) 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 submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or
send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct

notice to the Attention: CDC Desk
Officer, Office of Management and

Reduce Teen Pregnancy among Youth
from Vulnerable Populations’’—
Revision—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Although the 2017 U.S. rate of 18.8
births per 1,000 female teens aged 15–
19 years represents a continued decline,
the United States has one of the highest
teen birth rates of all Western
industrialized countries. Access to
reproductive health services and the
most effective types of contraception
has been shown to reduce the likelihood
that teens become pregnant.
Nevertheless, recent research and
lessons learned through a previous teen
pregnancy prevention project
implemented through CDC in
partnership with the Office of
Adolescent Health (2010–2015; OMB
No. 0920–0952, Exp. 12/31/2015)
demonstrate that many health centers
serving teens do not engage in youthfriendly best practices that may enhance
access to care and to the most effective
types of contraception. Furthermore,
youth at highest risk of experiencing a
teen pregnancy are often not connected
to the reproductive health care that they
need, even when they are part of a
population that is known to be at high
risk for a teen pregnancy. Significant
racial, ethnic and geographic disparities
in teen birth rates persist and continue
to be a focus of public health efforts.
To address these challenges, CDC has
provided funding to three organizations
to strengthen partnerships and
processes that improve reproductive
health services for teens. These
awardees are working with 25 publicly
E:\FR\FM\23JAN1.SGM
23JAN1
3922
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 15 / Thursday, January 23, 2020 / Notices
funded health centers to support
implementation of evidence-based
recommendations for health centers and
providers to improve adolescent access
to reproductive health services. In
addition, awardees have worked with
approximately 30 youth-serving
organizations (YSO) to provide staff
training and develop systematic
approaches to identifying youth who are
at risk for a teen pregnancy and referring
those youth to reproductive health care
services. Finally, awardees have
developed communication campaigns
that increase awareness of the partner
health centers’ services for teens.
Activities are expected to result in
changes to health center and YSO
partners’ policies, to staff practices, and
to youth health care seeking and teen
pregnancy prevention behaviors.
The best practices to improve
adolescent access to reproductive health
services included in this program are
supported by evidence in the literature
and recommended by major medical
associations. Each of the components of
the current project has been
implemented as part of past teen
pregnancy prevention efforts. Consistent
with CDC’s mission of using evidence to
improve public health programs,
conducting an evaluation of combined
best practices, in concert with
community-clinical linkage of youth to
services to increase their access to
reproductive health care, can provide
further information to inform future
teen pregnancy prevention efforts.
CDC has been collecting the
information needed to assess these
efforts under ‘‘Performance Monitoring
of ‘Working with Publicly Funded
Health Centers to Reduce Teen
Pregnancy among Youth from
Vulnerable Populations’ ’’ (OMB No.
0920–1156, Exp. 1/31/2020). CDC is
using the information to determine the
types of training and technical
assistance that may be needed, to
monitor whether awardees meet
objectives related to health center and
YSO partners’ policies and staff
practices, to support a data-driven
quality improvement process for
adolescent sexual and reproductive
health care services and referrals, and to
assess whether the project model was
effective in increasing the utilization of
services by youth.
A revision of the currently approved
information collection is being
requested in order to continue data
collection until the end of the project.
Remaining information collection
activities will include awardees, health
center partner organizations, and
providers at the health center partners;
information collection during the
extension period will not include YSOs
or youths being served by health
centers, as significant changes are not
expected to be found for YSOs in the
final year and that the youth survey will
not need to be conducted beyond late
2019. Participation in the organizational
assessment activities is required for
awardees and partner organizations.
Participation in a survey of health
center providers is voluntary. The total
estimated burden hours for the
extension period are 485 hours.
