SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. 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
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
National Network of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Clinical
Prevention Training Centers (NNPTC): Evaluation (OMB Control No. 0920-
0995, Exp. 06/30/2023) -- Revision--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), Division of
STD Prevention requests an Extension and three-year approval of the
currently approved information collection request that comprises the
NNPTC Abbreviated Health Professional Application for Training (NNPTC
Abbreviated HPAT). This Extension will allow the NNPTC Abbreviated HPAT
to continue to serve as the official training application form used for
training activities conducted by the Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)
Prevention Training Centers' (PTCs) grantees funded by the (CDC). The
PTCs are funded by CDC/Division of STD Prevention (DSTDP) to provide
training and capacity-building that includes information, training,
technical assistance, and technology transfer.
PTCs 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 NNPTC Abbreviated HPAT is used to monitor and
evaluate performance and reach of grantees that offer STD and HIV
prevention training, training assistance,
[[Page 51427]]
and capacity building assistance to physicians, nurses, disease
intervention specialists, and health educators. During the previously
approved three-year period, data was collected to monitor and evaluate
the performance of the NNTPC grantees and the NNPTC program. This data
provided the NNPTC with necessary information to improve program
processes and operations to improve the quality of STD prevention and
treatment.
The 4,500 respondents represent an average of the number of health
professionals trained by PTC grantees during 2015. This data collection
is necessary to assess and evaluate the performance of the grantees in
delivering training and to standardize training registration processes
across the PTCs. The NNPTC Abbreviated HPAT allows CDC grantees to use
a single instrument when collecting demographic data from its training
and capacity building 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. The NNPTC HPAT takes approximately three
minutes to complete. 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 CDC's Funding Opportunity Announcement PS 20-2024, National
Network of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Clinical Prevention Training
Centers (NNPTC) requires the collection of national demographic
information on grantees' trainees and national evaluation outcomes. The
evaluation instruments are used to assess training and capacity-
building outcomes (knowledge, confidence, intention to use information,
actual changes made as a result of training) immediately after and
again 90 days after training events. The evaluation instruments vary
based on the type of training offered and take between approximately
three minutes to complete (for short didactic or webinar sessions) to
10 minutes to complete (for intensive multi-day trainings).
There are no costs to respondents other than their time to
participate. The estimated annualized burden hours for this data
collection are 447 hours.
