Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a 
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Send written comments 
to CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC or 
by fax to (202) 395-5806. Written comments should be received within 30 
days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Health Professional Application for Training (HPAT)--New --National 
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC/NCHHSTP is requesting OMB approval to collect data that will be 
used to monitor and evaluate performance of CDC funded grantees that 
offer Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) and Human immunodeficiency 
virus (HIV) prevention training, training assistance, and capacity 
building assistance to physicians, nurses, disease intervention 
specialists, health educators and other public health professionals. 
Information collection approval is sought for three years.
    CDC/NCHHSTP will use the Health Professional Application for 
Training (HPAT) for this data collection. This instrument was 
previously approved under OMB clearance 0920-0017 as a 
Participant Information Form, but was removed from that information 
collection request upon its most recent revision. The HPAT allows CDC 
grantees to use a single instrument when partnering with other Health 
and Human Services (HHS) funded training programs and does not 
duplicate information collection efforts. The HPAT will serve as the 
official training application form used for training activities 
conducted by the CDC-funded STD/HIV Prevention Training Centers' (PTCs) 
and the HIV Capacity Building Assistance (CBAs) grantees who offer 
classroom and experiential training, web-based training, clinical 
consultation, and capacity building assistance to maintain and enhance 
the capacity of health care professionals to control and prevent STDs 
and HIV.
    The HPAT will also be used to collect information from the training 
participants regarding their: (1) Occupations, professions, and 
functional roles; (2) principal employment settings; (3) location of 
their work settings; and (4) programmatic and population foci of their 
work. This data collection provides CDC with information to determine 
whether the training grantees are reaching their target audiences in 
terms of provider type, the types of organizations in which 
participants work, the focus of their work and the population groups 
and geographic areas served; the data collection is also used to triage 
and assign CBA provider requests.
    The 7,400 respondents represent an average of the number of health 
professionals trained by the CBA and PTC grantees during the years 2010 
and 2011. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
    It is estimated that this collection will involve a total of 617 
annual burden hours.
