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 <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. 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
[[Page 66308]]
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.
