Download as PDF 64479 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 198 / Tuesday, October 13, 2020 / Notices completing the required activities of the NOFO on time, as well as identifying problems in implementation. With this information, DASH can ascertain if additional technical assistance is needed to help recipients improve their surveillance implementation if necessary. The reporting template will include questions on the following topics: Youth Risk Behavior Survey completion and School Health Profiles (Profiles) completion. No personally identifiable information will be collected. The Component 2 information collection uses a self-administered reporting template to assess HIV and STD prevention efforts conducted by local education agencies (LEA) funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division of Adolescent and School Health under Component 2 of PS18–1807 Promoting Adolescent Health through School-Based HIV/STD Prevention. This data collection will provide DASH with data to generate internal reports that will identify successful and problematic programmatic areas. In addition, both information collections will allow DASH to determine if recipient agencies are completing the required activities of the NOFO on time, as well as identifying problems in implementation. With this information, DASH can ascertain if additional technical assistance is needed to help recipients improve their program implementation if necessary. In addition, the findings will allow CDC to determine the potential impact of currently recommended strategies and make changes to those recommendations if necessary. The reporting template will include sections on the following topics: Sexual health education (SHE), sexual health services (SHS), safe and supportive environments (SSE) required and additional activities. No personally identifiable information will be collected. The estimated burden per response ranges from eight (8) hours for Component 1 to fourteen (14) hours for Component 2. Recipients will complete the reporting templates every six months and the work plan templates once a year under this approval. Annualizing the collection over oneyear results in an estimated annualized burden of 3,320 hours for respondents. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
