Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

    In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on 
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. 
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a 
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call the CDC Reports 
Clearance Officer on (404) 639-7090.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques for other 
forms of information technology. Send comments to Anne O'Connor, CDC

Proposed Project

    Evaluating HIV Prevention Programs in Community-Based Organizations 
(CBOs)--New--The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 
National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP) proposes to 
develop and test a model of HIV prevention community-based organization 
(CBO) functioning using a one time data collection questionnaire. Each 
CBO will be asked to answer questions related to the existence and 
importance of factors affecting their HIV prevention interventions. 
This data collection is necessary for CDC to better (a) assess CBO 
applications systematically for funding, (b) develop materials CBOs can 
use to assess their own programmatic needs and create a social map of 
their target populations, including a CBO profile of organizational, 
environmental, target population, intervention program

[[Page 9347]]

and accomplishments characteristics, (c) better develop CBO technical 
assistance (TA) materials, and (d) provide TA to CBOs that have already 
been selected by CDC for funding. This study will also yield more 
hypotheses for statistical testing, instruments with reliability and 
validity data for use in other studies, and a model that can be used 
and revised to meet the context of a particular CBO. The questionnaire 
will be administered to 766 CBOs that have applied for CDC funding 
under program announcements 00023, 00100, 99047, 99091, 99092, 99096. 
The total annual cost to respondents is estimated at $26,044 based on 
an average salary of $35,000 ($17.00 per hour) for program managers.
