Background and Brief Description This Information Collection Request (ICR) seeks continued approval for Data Management Plan (DMP) templates. DMPs are required annually of entities using CDC funds to collect or generate public health data. They are submitted to CDC by grant and cooperative agreement applicants and awardees for assessment to verify that they are compliant with CDC’s data sharing policy. Having templates makes it easier for CDC awardees to create complete and compliant DMPs and easier for CDC project officers to assess them. Several CDC Centers have created customized templates. For this proposed Extension, some of the templates will undergo minor changes to increase utility and ease of use and the annual burden hour estimate has been updated based on the experience of the past three years and planned future use. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated from 1450 annual burden hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.

Proposed Project HIV Outpatient Study (HOPS) (OMB Control No. 0920–1080, Exp. 2/29/ 2024)—Extension—National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests OMB approval to continue collecting information for HIV Outpatient Study (HOPS). The study is based on a prospective longitudinal cohort of adults with HIV in outpatient care at eight well-established private HIV care practices and university-based clinics in the U.S. The HOPS study sites are located in six cities: Tampa, Florida; Washington, DC; Stony Brook, New York; Chicago, Illinois; Denver, Colorado; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The study currently collects information on a maximum of 2,700 outpatients per year. A portion of HOPS participants are lost to follow-up each year (most due to transferring out of the HOPS clinics), and our target goal is to enroll up to 450 new participants (50–60 per site) annually. Patients are approached during one of their routine clinic visits and invited to participate in the HOPS. There are two sources of information for the HOPS. First, clinical data are abstracted on an ongoing basis from the medical records of study participants. Medical records provide data in five general categories: demographics and risk behaviors for HIV infection; symptoms; diagnosed conditions (definitive and presumptive); medications prescribed (including dose, duration, and reasons for stopping); and all laboratory values, including CD4+ T lymphocyte (CD4+) cell counts, plasma HIV–RNA determinations, and genotype, phenotype, and trophile results. Clinic charts also provide data about visit frequency, AIDS, and death. Medical records abstraction is conducted by trained study staff and does not impose ongoing burden on HOPS participants. However, CDC does account for burden associated with the initial study consent and orientation process. The estimated burden per response is 15 minutes. The second source of HOPS information is the annual behavioral assessment, an optional activity scheduled in conjunction with the participant’s annual clinic visit. For convenience, the behavioral assessment can be completed in either of two modes: a brief Telephone AudioComputer Assisted Self-Interview (T– ACASI) survey or an identical Webbased Audio-Computer Assisted SelfInterview (W–ACASI).

The estimated burden per response is seven minutes. The core areas of HOPS research extending through the present HIV treatment era include: (i) investigating and characterizing (new) problems associated with long-term HIV infection and its treatments using the longitudinal cohort data; (ii) monitoring death rates and causes of death; (iii) characterizing the optimal patient management strategies to reduce HIV related morbidity and mortality (e.g., effectiveness of antiretroviral therapies and other clinical interventions); (iv) assessing sexual and drug use behaviors and other patient reported outcomes that supplement data from chart abstraction; and (v) investigating disparities in the HIV care continuum by various demographic factors. In recent years, the HOPS has been instrumental in bringing attention to emerging issues in chronic HIV infection with actionable opportunities for prevention, including cardiovascular disease, fragility fractures, renal and hepatic disease, and cancers. The HOPS remains an important source for multiyear trend data concerning conditions and behaviors for which data are not readily available elsewhere, including: rates of opportunistic illnesses, rates of comorbid conditions (e.g., hypertension, obesity, diabetes) and antiretroviral drug resistance. OMB approval is requested for three years. The estimated number of participants in the annual behavioral assessment is 2,700 respondents. There are no changes to the information collection forms or methods. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden is 428 hours.

Proposed Project TRANSCEND: Transgender statusneutral community-to-clinic models to end the HIV epidemic—New—National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The CDC requesting public comment and OMB approval on a New information collection request (ICR) for the demonstration project titled ‘‘TRANSCEND: Transgender statusneutral community-to-clinic models to end the HIV epidemic.’’ Transgender (TG) persons, especially transgender women (TGW), have a high prevalence of HIV and lifetime risk of acquiring HIV. In the 2019–2020 National HIV Behavioral Surveillance Trans cycle, 42% of TGW tested positive for HIV. Racial/ethnic disparities were also found, with HIV positivity rates of 62% among Black/ African American TGW and 35% among Hispanic/Latina TGW compared to 17% among White TGW. Despite the disproportionate burden of HIV among TGW, receipt of HIV prevention and care services have been suboptimal. Many TG persons experience poverty, homelessness, abuse, and have substance use or mental health disorders, which impact access to and utilization of HIV prevention and care services. Many TG persons seek genderaffirming care, including hormone therapy, at transgender health care organizations (TG clinics), and these encounters provide opportunities for HIV testing and status-neutral HIV services. In the proposed demonstration project, TG clinics and transgender- PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 serving community-based organizations (CBOs) will work collaboratively to evaluate community-to-clinic models to provide integrated status-neutral HIV prevention and care services, genderaffirming services including hormone therapy, and primary healthcare, as well as to ensure access to mental health, substance use, and social support services. All services will be culturally and linguistically responsive for TG persons to ensure that they feel welcomed, heard, and cared for. The recipients will also participate in a national learning collaborative to share lessons learned and best practices for TG clinic and TG CBO partnerships to provide status-neutral, community-toclinic services for TG persons. This collection of data, which involves creation of a unique identifier so that CDC does not receive any personally identifiable information (PII), will allow CDC to assist TG clinics and CBOs in monitoring and evaluating their programs providing status-neutral HIV services and comprehensive healthcare for TG persons and for community-toclinic models of service provision. Longitudinal person-level data collection will occur through the clinics’ electronic health record (EHR Data Form) and the Client Intake Form, and additional program evaluation data will be collected through client surveys (Client Satisfaction Survey). The clients will complete the Client Intake Form once when they first join the program, with expected 800 clients per year for a total burden of 107 hours annually. A sample of 100 clients per site (400 total) will respond to the Client Satisfaction Survey once per year, for a total burden of 100 hours annually. The four data managers will extract data from the EHR, perform quality checks, code the data with a unique identifier, and transmit the deidentified data to CDC two times per year, for a total of 64 hours per year. The four data managers will also compile, link, deidentify, and report data from the Client Intake Forms two times per year, with an estimated burden of 16 hours annually. The four data managers will compile and report data from the Satisfaction Survey once per year, with an estimated burden of eight hours annually. OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation of the funded recipients’ data managers is required, and participation from the clients is voluntary. There is no cost to participants other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden is 295 hours. E:\FR\FM\26MYN1.SGM 26MYN1

2024)--Extension--National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, TB 
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests OMB 
approval to continue collecting information for HIV Outpatient Study 
(HOPS). The study is based on a prospective longitudinal cohort of 
adults with HIV in outpatient care at eight well-established private 
HIV care practices and university-based clinics in the U.S. The HOPS 
study sites are located in six cities: Tampa, Florida; Washington, DC; 
Stony Brook, New York; Chicago, Illinois; Denver, Colorado; and 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The study currently collects information on 
a maximum of 2,700 outpatients per year. A portion of HOPS participants 
are lost to follow-up each year (most due to transferring out of the 
HOPS clinics), and our target goal is to enroll up to 450 new 
participants (50-60 per site) annually. Patients are approached during 
one of their routine clinic visits and invited to participate in the 
HOPS.
    There are two sources of information for the HOPS. First, clinical 
data are abstracted on an ongoing basis from the medical records of 
study participants. Medical records provide data in five general 
categories: demographics and risk behaviors for HIV infection; 
symptoms; diagnosed conditions (definitive and presumptive); 
medications prescribed (including dose, duration, and reasons for 
stopping); and all laboratory values, including CD4+ T lymphocyte 
(CD4+) cell counts, plasma HIV-RNA determinations, and genotype, 
phenotype, and trophile results. Clinic charts also provide data about 
visit frequency, AIDS, and death. Medical records abstraction is 
conducted by trained study staff and does not impose ongoing burden on 
HOPS participants. However, CDC does account for burden associated with 
the initial study consent and orientation process. The estimated burden 
per response is 15 minutes.
    The second source of HOPS information is the annual behavioral 
assessment, an optional activity scheduled in conjunction with the 
participant's annual clinic visit. For convenience, the behavioral 
assessment can be completed in either of two modes: a brief Telephone 
Audio-Computer Assisted Self-Interview (T-ACASI) survey or an identical 
Web-based Audio-Computer Assisted Self-Interview (W-ACASI). Data 
collection includes: age, sex at birth, use of alcohol and drugs, 
cigarette smoking, adherence to antiretroviral medications, types of 
sexual intercourse, condom use, and disclosure of HIV status to 
partners. The estimated burden per response is seven minutes.
    The core areas of HOPS research extending through the present HIV 
treatment era include: (i) investigating and characterizing (new) 
problems associated with long-term HIV infection and its treatments 
using the longitudinal cohort data; (ii) monitoring death rates and 
causes of death; (iii) characterizing the optimal patient management 
strategies to reduce HIV related morbidity and mortality (e.g., 
effectiveness of antiretroviral therapies and other clinical 
interventions); (iv) assessing sexual and drug use behaviors and other

and (v) investigating disparities in the HIV care continuum by various 
demographic factors. In recent years, the HOPS has been instrumental in

of comorbid conditions (e.g., hypertension, obesity, diabetes) and 
antiretroviral drug resistance.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. The estimated number of 
participants in the annual behavioral assessment is 2,700 respondents. 
There are no changes to the information collection forms or methods. 
Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other 
than their time. The total estimated annualized burden is 428 hours.
