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 ``Promoting Adolescent Health through School-
Based HIV/STD Prevention Reporting Templates'' 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 October 23, 2023, 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 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
Promoting Adolescent Health through School-Based HIV/STD Prevention
Reporting Templates (OMB Control No. 0920-1329, Exp. 3/31/2024)--
Revision--National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
PS18-1807 Promoting Adolescent Health through School-Based HIV/STD
Prevention was awarded August 1, 2018 with a five year project period.
It has been extended into a sixth year, and is funded through the
Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH). Health behaviors
during adolescence set the stage for behaviors and health into
adulthood. In 2017, 40% of high school students in the U.S. had ever
had sexual intercourse and 29% were currently sexually active. Among
currently sexually active students, 46% did not use a condom, and 14%
did not use any method to prevent pregnancy the last time they had
sexual intercourse. In 2016, young people aged 13-24 accounted for an
estimated 21% of all new HIV diagnoses in the United States. Half of
the nearly 20 million new STDs reported each year were among young
people aged 15-24. Schools have direct contact with over 50 million
students for at least six hours a day over 13 key years of their
social, physical, and intellectual development. Schools can help
understand and prevent adolescent risk for HIV, STD and teen pregnancy.
Schools play an important role in HIV/STD prevention, and can influence
students' risk for HIV infection and other STD through parental
engagement, health education, connection to physical and mental health
services, and connecting youth to each other and important adults.
The PS18-1807 award supports implementation of activities at
multiple levels of the education system to achieve health goals. School
curricula, policies, and services are generally locally determined by
local education agencies (LEA), or local school districts, with
guidance from state education agencies (SEA). LEA and SEA both provide
training, resources, and technical assistance to schools. SEA establish
supportive state environments for local decision making about school
policies and practices. LEA support implementation of school-based
strategies through district level actions and decisions. Recognizing
the importance of locally tailoring approaches, PS18-1807 uses priority
schools within a district, or LEA, as a natural laboratory for working
through program implementation details before scaling up--or
diffusing--activities to all schools in a district. This approach
supports close connections with decision-makers responsible for
educational options and school environments at each of these levels.
Additional support from organizations with specialized expertise and
capacity for national reach will be used to increase the impact of SEA
and LEA strategies. They provide a range of highly trained experts for
professional development and technical assistance to advance HIV/STD
prevention work.
CDC requests OMB approval for an Extension of one year to conduct
three information collections titled, Promoting Adolescent Health
through School-Based HIV/STD Prevention Reporting Templates. There are
separate reporting templates and work plan templates for Component 1
reporting and for Component 2 reporting. Eighty (80) sites will be
filling out the Component 1 reporting template and
[[Page 14499]]
work plan template; 25 sites will be filling out the Component 2
reporting template and the work plan template.
The Component 1 information collection uses a self-administered
reporting template to assess surveillance activities conducted by
recipient education and health agencies funded by the CDC/DASH under
Component 1 of PS18-1807 Promoting Adolescent Health through School-
Based HIV/STD Prevention. This data collection will provide DASH with
data to generate internal reports that will identify successful and
problematic surveillance areas. In addition, the information collection
will allow DASH to determine if recipient agencies are completing the
required activities of the NOFO on time, as well as identifying
problems in implementation. With this information, DASH can ascertain
if additional technical assistance is needed to help recipients improve
their surveillance implementation if necessary. The reporting template
will include questions on the following topics: Youth Risk Behavior
Survey completion and School Health Profiles (Profiles) completion. No
personally identifiable information will be collected.
The Component 2 information colldection uses a self-administered
reporting template to assess HIV and STD prevention efforts conducted
by local education agencies (LEA) funded by the CDC/DASH under
Component 2 of PS18-1807 Promoting Adolescent Health through School-
Based HIV/STD Prevention. This data collection will provide DASH with
data to generate internal reports that will identify successful and
problematic programmatic areas. In addition, both information
collections will allow DASH to determine if recipient agencies are
completing the required activities of the NOFO on time, as well as
identifying problems in implementation. With this information, DASH can
ascertain if additional technical assistance is needed to help
recipients improve their program implementation, if necessary. In
addition, the findings will allow CDC to determine the potential impact
of currently recommended strategies and make changes to those
recommendations. The reporting template will include sections on the
following topics: sexual health education (SHE), sexual health services
(SHS), safe and supportive environments (SSE), and additional
activities. No personally identifiable information will be collected.
The estimated burden per response ranges from eight hours for
Component 1 to 14 hours for Component 2. Recipients will complete the
reporting templates every six months and the work plan templates once a
year under this approval. Annualizing the collection over one year
results in an estimated annualized burden of 3,320 hours for
respondents. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
