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 ``National Learning Community for HIV CBO 
Leadership 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 
April 26, 2021 to obtain comments from the public and affected 
agencies. CDC received one comment 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

    National Learning Community for HIV CBO Leadership 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, 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. As part of that funding, the CDC 
has funded the Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) 
to provide community-based organization (CBO) mid-level and senior 
leadership state-of-the-art trainings on how to improve their 
management of people, programs, and organizations to optimally provide 
HIV prevention, treatment, and/or care services. A key foundational 
course for all who enroll in the Learning Community is a comprehensive 
overview of the national strategy on ending the HIV epidemic. This 
information collection evaluates the Learning Community. Specifically, 
CDC and APIAHF are requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
to grant a three-year approval to collect data through the use of a 
Registration Form, a Post-Participation Survey, and a Post-
Participation Semi-Structured Interview that will be administered to 
participants of the Learning Community.
    The Learning Community participants will complete the Registration 
Form as part of the process for enrollment. The Learning Community 
Registration Form collects demographic information about participants 
including: (1) Business contact information (e.g., email and telephone 
number, job title); (2) basic demographics on race, ethnicity, gender, 
sexual orientation, and employment setting; (3) programmatic and 
population areas of focus; and (4) work experience as a manager or 
organizational lead. After participating in the foundational courses 
and other course offerings over a 12-week period, participants are 
invited to complete the Post-Participation Survey. The Post-
Participation Survey is designed to elicit information from 
participants about their experiences and feedback regarding the content 
of the courses and the delivery of the course material and other 
services (management coaching services are also being offered).
    Also, part of the offering of the Learning Community is a 6-week 
Problem-Solving Intensive that is designed to help managers work though 
specific managerial problems using the tenants of human-centered 
design. At the end of the Intensive, participants will be invited to 
participate in a Semi-Structured Interview by Zoom where they will 
discuss their experiences and feedback on the Intensive. The 
Registration Form, Post-Participation Survey, and Post-Participation 
Semi-Structured Interview (for those participating in the Intensive) 
will be administered to CBO staff who participate in these respective 
Learning Community activities.
    The information collected will allow APIAHF to:
    (1) Identify and respond to program performance issues identified 
through feedback from participants;
    (2) Identify potentially new courses that may be of some use to HIV 
CBO leadership;
    (3) Provide a timely and accurate aggregated accounting of patterns 
of usage and enrollment trends to CDC and other state, and local 
agencies and other stakeholders seeking information about

the services delivered in the Learning Community.
    No other federal agency collects these types of national HIV 
prevention capacity building data. Respondents will provide information 
electronically through the online Registration Form and Post-
Participation Survey. The number of respondents is calculated based on 
an expected number of CBO managers at CDC-funded organizations, given 
the previous number of organizations funded by CDC. We estimate 270 CBO 
managers will complete the Registration Form and the Post-Participation 
Survey, and 135 will provide responses to the Semi-Structured 
Interview, annually. The total annualized burden is 89 hours. There are 
no other costs to respondents other than their time.
