Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Capacity Building Assistance Program: Data Management, Monitoring, and Evaluation. The goal of the study is to allow CDC to evaluate the CDC cooperative agreement program entitled CDC-RFA-PS19- 1904 in order to improve the evaluation design and methods used to capture PS19-1904 outcomes, and to increase access and use of PS19-1904 data for continuous quality improvement and performance reporting.

Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part

titled Capacity Building Assistance Program: Data Management,
Monitoring, and Evaluation. The goal of the study is to allow CDC to
evaluate the CDC cooperative agreement program entitled CDC-RFA-PS19-
1904 in order to improve the evaluation design and methods used to
capture PS19-1904 outcomes, and to increase access and use of PS19-1904
data for continuous quality improvement and performance reporting.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before April 5, 2024.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2024-
0007 by either of the following methods:
<bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow
the instructions for submitting comments.
<bullet> Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road
NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name

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
Capacity Building Assistance Program: Data Management, Monitoring,
and Evaluation (OMB Control No. 0920-1322, Exp. 02/29/2024)--
Extension--National Center for HIV, 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 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 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; (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.
[[Page 7720]]
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 total annualized burden is
1,671 hours. There are no other costs to respondents other than their
time.
