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 February 5, 2024, to obtain comments from 
the public and affected agencies. CDC received no public 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

[[Page 65353]]

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 (OMB Control No. 0920-1322, Exp. 2/29/2024)--
Reinstatement--National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, 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 communities over-represented in the HIV epidemic. 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 
communities over-represented in the HIV epidemic, including Blacks/
African Americans; Hispanics/Latinos; all races/ethnicities of gay, 
bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (collectively referred to 
as 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 Prevention 
(DHP) 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 Extension 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 (LGR); (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 health 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 2016-2022. CDC estimates 3,800 health 
professionals will provide one response for the LGR; 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. 
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,671 annualized burden 
hours. There are no other costs to respondents other than their time to 
participate.
