Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled Capacity Building Assistance Program: Data 
Management, Monitoring, and Evaluation to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a 
``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations'' notice on January 28, 2020 to obtain comments from 
the public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive comments related 
to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 
days for public and affected agency comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    (d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including, through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses; and
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct 
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in 
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management 
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice 
publication.

Proposed Project

    Capacity Building Assistance Program: Data Management, Monitoring, 
and Evaluation--New--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, 
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) partners with 
the national HIV prevention workforce to: (1) Ensure that persons with 
HIV (PWH) are aware of their infection and successfully linked to 
medical care and treatment to achieve viral suppression

[[Page 46632]]

and (2) expand access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), condoms, and 
other proven strategies for persons at risk of becoming infected. CDC 
funds state and local health departments and community-based 
organizations (CBOs) to optimally plan, integrate, implement, and 
sustain comprehensive HIV prevention programs and services for people 
with and at greatest risk of HIV infection, including blacks/African 
Americans; Hispanics/Latinos; all races/ethnicities of gay, bisexual, 
and other men who have sex with men (MSM); people who inject drugs 
(PWID); and transgender persons.
    Through the CDC cooperative agreement program entitled CDC-RFA-
PS19-1904: Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) for High Impact HIV 
Prevention Program Integration, the CDC Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention 
(DHAP) funds the CBA Provider Network (CPN) to deliver CBA to CDC-
funded health departments and CBOs. CBA provided by the CPN include 
trainings and technical assistance (TA) that enable the HIV prevention 
workforce to optimally plan, implement, integrate, and sustain high-
impact prevention interventions and strategies to reduce HIV infections 
and HIV-related morbidity, mortality, and health disparities across the 
United States and its territories. This information collection 
evaluates CDC-RFA-PS19-1904. Specifically, the CDC is requesting the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to grant a three-year approval to 
collect data through the use of four web-based instruments that will be 
administered to recipients of CBA services and their program managers: 
(1) Learning Group Registration; (2) Post-Training Evaluation (PTE); 
(3) Post-Technical Assistance Evaluation (PTAE); and (4) Training and 
Technical Assistance Follow-up Survey (TTAFS).
    CBA training participants will complete the Learning Group 
Registration Form as part of the process for enrolling in a CBA 
training. The Learning Group Registration Form collects demographic 
information about training participants including: (1) Business contact 
information (e.g., email and telephone number); (2) primary 
[employment] functional role; (3) employment setting; and (4) 
programmatic and population areas of focus. After an online or in-
person training event is completed, training participants are invited 
to complete the PTE. The PTE is designed to elicit information from 
training participants about their satisfaction with the training 
delivery method and course content.
    Similar to the PTE, the PTAE consists of questions designed to 
elicit information from TA participants about their satisfaction with 
aspects of TA such as the relevance of the materials provided or 
created, responsiveness of the TA provider, TA participants' changes in 
knowledge or skills as a result of the TA, and barriers and 
facilitators to implementation of interventions/public health 
strategies. The TTAFS collects organizational-level data every six 
months from the program managers within CDC-funded programs. Program 
managers provide information about the implementation status of the 
intervention/public heath strategy for which their staff received 
training and/or TA. Program managers are also asked to describe how 
their organization applied the training and TA (e.g., planning or 
adapting an intervention/public health strategy).
    The Learning Group Registration Form, PTE, and PTAE will be 
administered to CDC-funded program staff who participate in a training 
or TA event offered by a CBA provider funded under PS19-1904. The TTAFS 
will be administered to the program managers of state and local health 
department staff and CBO staff who participate in a CBA training or TA 
event. Respondents will provide information electronically through an 
online survey. The option to complete surveys via a telephone interview 
will be offered to respondents who do not complete the online survey 
within seven days.
    The number of respondents is calculated based on an average of the 
number of health professionals, including doctors, nurses, health 
educators, and disease intervention specialists, trained by CBA 
providers during the years 2016-2018. We estimate 3,800 health 
professionals will provide one response for the Learning Group 
Registration; 3,800 health professionals will provide a response for 
the PTE for each training episode; 3,650 health professionals will 
provide a response for the PTAE for each TA episode; and 189 program 
managers will provide two responses to the TTAFS in the web-based or 
telephone survey per year.
    The information collected will allow CDC to:
    (1) Identify and respond to public health program performance 
issues identified through feedback from health departments and CBOs;
    (2) Identify and respond to new HIV prevention training and TA 
needs of health departments and CBOs;
    (3) Provide a timely and accurate response to federal, state, and 
local agencies and other stakeholders seeking information about the 
types and quality of CBA services delivered.
    No other federal agency collects this type of national HIV 
prevention capacity building data.
    The total annualized burden is 1,671 hours. There are no other 
costs to respondents other than their time.
