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; 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 Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery (OMB Control No. 0920–1027, Exp. 7/31/2020)— Revision—National Center for HIV/ AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP). Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Background and Brief Description CDC is requesting a three-year revision to Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery (OMB Control No. 0920–1027, Exp. 7/31/2020). During the past three-year approval period, seven GenICs consisting of 13,574 PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 respondents were submitted for review and approval. The collections included web-based surveys, focus groups, and program assessments. The information collection activities conducted under this revision will continue to garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving service delivery. Qualitative feedback is information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training, or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: The target population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior fielding the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results. Respondents will be screened and selected from individuals and households, businesses, organizations, and/or State, Local or Tribal Governments. Below we provide CDC’s projected annualized estimate for the next three years. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The estimated annualized burden hours for this data collection activity are 9,690.

Proposed Project Promoting Adolescent Health through School-Based HIV/STD Prevention Reporting Templates—New—Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH), National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description PS18–1807 Promoting Adolescent Health through School-Based HIV/STD Prevention was awarded August 1, 2018 with a five year project period. It is funded through the Division of Adolescent and School Health. Health behaviors during adolescence set the stage for behaviors and health into adulthood. In 2017, 40% of high school students in the US had never had sexual intercourse and 29% were currently sexually active. Among currently sexually active students, 46% did not use a condom, and 14% did not use any method to prevent pregnancy the last time they had sexual intercourse. In 2016, young people aged 13–24 accounted for an estimated 21% of all new HIV diagnoses in the United States. Half of the nearly 20 million new STDs reported each year were among young people aged 15–24. Schools have direct contact with over 50 million students for at least six hours a day over 13 key years of their social, physical, and intellectual development.

Revision--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 
Prevention (NCHHSTP). Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Background and Brief Description

    CDC is requesting a three-year revision to Generic Clearance for 
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery (OMB 
Control No. 0920-1027, Exp. 7/31/2020). During the past three-year 
approval period, seven GenICs consisting of 13,574 respondents were 
submitted for review and approval. The collections included web-based 
surveys, focus groups, and program assessments. The information 
collection activities conducted under this revision will continue to 
garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 
timely manner, in accordance with the Administration's commitment to 
improving service delivery.
    Qualitative feedback is information that provides useful insights 
on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield 
quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of 
study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder 
perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of 
issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, 
training, or changes in operations might improve delivery of products 
or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, 
and actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and 
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the 
improvement of program management.
    This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not 
be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to 
yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time 
or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more 
rigorous designs that address: The target population to which 
generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design 
(including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements 
or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the 
expected response rate, methods for assessing potential non-response 
bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures 
that were or will be undertaken prior fielding the study. Depending on 
the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such 
collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic 
mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results.
    Respondents will be screened and selected from individuals and 
households, businesses, organizations, and/or State, Local or Tribal 
Governments. Below we provide CDC's projected annualized estimate for 
the next three years. There is no cost to respondents other than their 
time. The estimated annualized burden hours for this data collection 
activity are 9,690.
