Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under 
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request 
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the 
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443-0371.
    The following request has been submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995:

Proposed Project: HRSA AIDS Education and Training Centers Evaluation 
Activities (OMB No. 0915-0281)--Revision

    The AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETC) Program, under the 
Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, Ryan White 
HIV/AIDS Program legislation, supports a network

[[Page 19650]]

of regional and cross-cutting national centers that conduct targeted, 
multi-disciplinary education and training programs for health care 
providers treating persons with HIV/AIDS. The AETCs' purpose is to 
increase the number of health care providers who are effectively 
educated and motivated to counsel, diagnose, treat, and medically 
manage individuals with HIV infection, and to help prevent high risk 
behaviors that lead to HIV transmission.
    As part of an ongoing effort to evaluate AETC activities, 
information is needed on AETC training sessions, consultations, and 
technical assistance activities. Each regional center collects forms on 
AETC training events, and the centers are required to report aggregate 
data on their activities to HRSA and the HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB). This 
data collection provides information on the number of training events, 
including clinical trainings and consultations, as well as technical 
assistance activities conducted by each regional center, the number of 
health care providers receiving professional training or consultation, 
and the time and effort expended on different levels of training and 
consultation activities. In addition, information is obtained on the 
populations served by the AETC trainees, and the increase in capacity 
achieved through training events. Collection of this information allows 
HRSA and HAB to provide information on training activities and types of 
education and training provided to Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program 
Grantees, resource allocation, and capacity expansion.
    Trainees are asked to complete the Participant Information Form 
(PIF) for each activity they complete, and trainers, are asked to 
complete the Event Record (ER). The estimated annual response burden to 
trainers as well as attendees of training programs is as follows:
