SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: HRSA Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part F Regional AIDS Education and Training Center Program Activities, OMB No. 0906–xxxx—New. Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program’s (RWHAP) AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC) Program, authorized under title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, supports a network of regional centers that conduct targeted, multi-disciplinary education and training programs for health care providers treating people with HIV. The RWHAP Regional AETC Program’s purpose is to increase the number of health care providers who are effectively educated and equipped to counsel, diagnose, treat, and medically manage people with HIV. The RWHAP Regional AETC Program recipients are required to report data on the training activities and trainees to HRSA once a year. HRSA is requesting the approval of new AETC data collection forms to accurately capture data relating to Regional AETC activities, participants, and site information for both Practice Transformation (PT) and Interprofessional Education (IPE) sites as well as involvement in the HIV care and treatment workforce (1-year postparticipation), knowledge gained through participating in an activity, and satisfaction with the activity. The RWHAP Regional AETC Program recipients will gather data on the training activities they conduct using six data collection instruments. The Individual Participant Record is completed at least once every reporting period by participants actively engaging in Regional AETC activities. This form includes Regional AETC participant demographic, workplace, and clientsserved data for the participant’s E:\FR\FM\09DEN1.SGM 09DEN1 97628 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 236 / Monday, December 9, 2024 / Notices respective provider sites. The Regional AETC recipient completes the Training Activity Record form at the end of each Regional AETC activity that takes place during the reporting period. This form describes the activity in hours, modality, and topic(s). The PT Site Characteristics/Outcomes form collects site characteristics information for PT recipient sites only, such as clinic activities and procedures and aggregate counts of clients. PT sites provide clinical services and differ from IPE sites that support students, thus necessitating a different form. The IPE Site Characteristics/Outcomes form collects site characteristics information for IPE recipient sites only. The Participant Post-Activity Immediate Survey collects information from participants immediately after an activity, specifically, their satisfaction and potential increased knowledge due to participating in said activity. The IPE Long-Term form collects 1-year postparticipation information from participant students who engaged in an IPE program to assess involvement in the field of HIV care and treatment. A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on July 19, 2024, 89 FR 58744–45. The 60-day FRN publication elicited 15 public comments, including feedback from eight currently funded AETC regional recipients. The public comments offered input to clarify the definitions of the terminology used on the forms; requested additions and revisions to response options and categories; provided feedback to update demographic questions; requested more review to identify which professions should be included or removed from the forms; asked for clarity on the training track and the process for selecting a track; and suggested that there be a balance of questions on both HIV treatment and prevention. HRSA’s HIV/AIDS Bureau conducted a thorough review of all the feedback provided by the public during the 60day publication period. HRSA will incorporate much of the public feedback into the new forms, including through the addition of new proposed questions, removal of current incompatible questions, correcting spelling and grammar, providing definitions and instructions for clarity, incorporating skip logic to streamline question response options/categories, updating the form format, and the change of the form title from Interprofessional Education Site Characteristics/ Outcomes Form to the Interprofessional Education Health Profession Program Characteristics/Outcomes Form. Other suggestions may be further reviewed in future OMB packages or non-substantive change memos. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA uses the data collected when conducting RWHAP AETC programmatic assessments to determine future program needs. These data allow HRSA to identify where gaps exist in training HIV professionals as well as to measure whether training activities are meeting the goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and the RWHAP statute. Likely Respondents: RWHAP Regional AETC participants complete the Individual Participant Record at least once a reporting period. Regional AETC recipients complete a Training Activity Record for each training activity they conduct during the reporting period. All Regional AETC participants will take the Participant Post-Activity Survey immediately after any attended activity. The IPE Long-Term form will only be completed by participants who engaged in an IPE program, 1-year postparticipation in the program. Finally, PT recipients will complete the PT Site Characteristics/Outcomes form at least once per reporting period, and IPE recipients will complete the IPE Site Characteristics/Outcomes form at least once per reporting period. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and use technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

The draft Scope Policy Manual proposes new policy and clarifies existing policy in key areas. Through the draft Scope Policy Manual, HRSA updates the Health Center Program ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:08 Dec 06, 2024 Jkt 265001 scope of project policy to consolidate scope of project-related policy into a single policy document to assist health centers in understanding scope of project, statutory language and the Health Center Program Compliance Manual (https://bphc.hrsa.gov/ compliance/compliance-manual). The draft Scope Policy Manual does not include scope of project processrelated instructions. Instructions for documenting and updating scope of project will continue to be available on the Health Center Program Scope of Project web page (https://bphc.hrsa.gov/ compliance/scope-project).

HRSA also designates eligible applicants as Health Center Program look-alikes. Look-alikes do not receive Health Center Program funding but must meet the Health Center Program statutory and regulatory requirements. Nearly 1,400 Health Center Program-funded health centers and more than 100 Health Center Program look-alike organizations operate more than 15,000 service delivery sites that provide care to more than 30.5 million patients in every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. Note that for the purposes of this document, the term ‘‘health center’’ refers to entities that receive a federal award under section 330 of the PHS Act, as well as subrecipients and organizations designated as look-alikes, unless otherwise stated.

respective provider sites. The Regional AETC recipient completes the 
Training Activity Record form at the end of each Regional AETC activity 
that takes place during the reporting period. This form describes the 
activity in hours, modality, and topic(s). The PT Site Characteristics/
Outcomes form collects site characteristics information for PT 
recipient sites only, such as clinic activities and procedures and 
aggregate counts of clients. PT sites provide clinical services and 
differ from IPE sites that support students, thus necessitating a 
different form. The IPE Site Characteristics/Outcomes form collects

IPE program to assess involvement in the field of HIV care and 
treatment.
    A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on July 19, 2024, 
89 FR 58744-45. The 60-day FRN publication elicited 15 public comments, 
including feedback from eight currently funded AETC regional 
recipients. The public comments offered input to clarify the 
definitions of the terminology used on the forms; requested additions 
and revisions to response options and categories; provided feedback to 
update demographic questions; requested more review to identify which 
professions should be included or removed from the forms; asked for 
clarity on the training track and the process for selecting a track; 
and suggested that there be a balance of questions on both HIV 
treatment and prevention.
    HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau conducted a thorough review of all the 
feedback provided by the public during the 60-day publication period. 
HRSA will incorporate much of the public feedback into the new forms, 
including through the addition of new proposed questions, removal of 
current incompatible questions, correcting spelling and grammar, 
providing definitions and instructions for clarity, incorporating skip 
logic to streamline question response options/categories, updating the 
form format, and the change of the form title from Interprofessional 
Education Site Characteristics/Outcomes Form to the Interprofessional 
Education Health Profession Program Characteristics/Outcomes Form. 
Other suggestions may be further reviewed in future OMB packages or 
non-substantive change memos.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA uses the data 
collected when conducting RWHAP AETC programmatic assessments to 
determine future program needs. These data allow HRSA to identify where 
gaps exist in training HIV professionals as well as to measure whether 
training activities are meeting the goals of the National HIV/AIDS 
Strategy and the RWHAP statute.
    Likely Respondents: RWHAP Regional AETC participants complete the 
Individual Participant Record at least once a reporting period. 
Regional AETC recipients complete a Training Activity Record for each 
training activity they conduct during the reporting period. All 
Regional AETC participants will take the Participant Post-Activity 
Survey immediately after any attended activity. The IPE Long-Term form 
will only be completed by participants who engaged in an IPE program, 
1-year post-participation in the program. Finally, PT recipients will 
complete the PT Site Characteristics/Outcomes form at least once per 
reporting period, and IPE recipients will complete the IPE Site 
Characteristics/Outcomes form at least once per reporting period.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and use technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying
