Iowa; Amendment No. 7 to Notice of a Major Disaster Declaration, 73669-73670 [2024-20481]

Download as PDF 73669 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 11, 2024 / Notices participants. The PiT HR Survey has been designed to answer questions that cannot be answered with existing data with minimal burden on grantees and respondents. It strengthens the evaluation by including participant voice. Most HR programs will administer the survey electronically on a tablet using the web-based survey. Tablets will be provided to the harm reduction grantees for this purpose during the survey administration period. The tablets will include an offline data collection function, which utilizes an app that runs directly from the tablet and collects and securely stores data on the tablet until or unless the tablet is connected to Wi-Fi. Once the tablet is connected to Wi-Fi, stored surveys are automatically uploaded to a secure online database and are no longer accessible on the tablet. Utilizing the offline data collection functions ensures that programs can participate even if they do not have stable Wi-Fi connections. In addition, the audio-enabled feature will assist participants who want to take the survey but have vision difficulties or lower literacy levels without requiring staff to read the survey questions to them. Once uploaded, survey data will be easily accessible by the PEERS evaluation staff who have access to the project survey system, allowing staff to provide ongoing data quality monitoring throughout the process. Grantees will receive financial compensation to support their efforts to recruit and administer the survey. A pen-and-paper version of the PiT HR Survey will be available to grantees who would prefer this approach when conducting outreach in the community where the use of the tablets may raise staff safety risks. Programs that provide outreach services may elect to use the pen-and-paper or the tablet version of the survey depending on their preferences and the communities they serve. The pen-and-paper version of the survey would be read aloud by staff to address literacy concerns. Completed paper surveys will be stored in locked cabinets in the HR Grantee Program offices and mailed via certified mail to the PEERS office. PEERS will immediately store the paper survey in locked cabinets, accessible only to the PEERS evaluation team. The raw data will be entered into SPSS and stored on password-protected computers requiring multifactor authentication. No person outside of the PEERS evaluation team will have access to the data. All data will be closely safeguarded, and no institutional or individual identifiers will be used in reports. Only aggregated data will be reported. SAMHSA and its contractors will not receive identifiable participant records. Those who participate in the survey will receive a $25 Visa gift card to compensate them for the 25-minute duration of the PiT HR Survey, which includes time for recruitment, consent, survey completion, and gift card receipt. The primary consequence of not collecting the PiT HR survey data is that CSAP would not have current information to understand (1) whether the target populations of the Harm Reduction Grant Program are being reached; (2) whether the service needs of the target populations are being met; and (3) the barriers target populations face in utilizing HR services to inform future grant programs. No other HR evaluation component brings in the often-overlooked voice of the recipients of HR services and supplies. The PiT HR Survey is cross-sectional, therefore the data will be collected only once from any survey participant. Individual grantees vary from small entities to large provider organizations. Every effort has been made to minimize the number of survey items asked of respondents down to the least number of items necessary to accomplish the objectives described within. As a result, there is no significant impact on small entities. Estimated Total Burden for Harm Reduction Point-in-Time Data Collection The estimates in this table reflect the maximum annual burden for the proposed PiT HR Survey at the 25 HR grantee sites funded through May 2025. These estimates are based on informal pilot testing of the instrument among PEERS staff.
