communications. Accordingly, on 

December 16, 2016, the Commission 

released Transition from TTY to RealTime Text Technology, Report and 

Order, document FCC 16–169, 82 FR 

7699, January 23, 2017, amending its 

rules that govern the obligations of 

wireless service providers and 

manufacturers to support TTY 

technology to permit such providers and 

manufacturers to provide support for 

real-time text (RTT) over wireless IPbased networks to facilitate an effective 

and seamless transition to RTT in lieu 

of continuing to support TTY 

technology. 

In document FCC 16–169, the 

Commission adopted measures 

requiring the following: 

(a) Each wireless provider and 

manufacturer that voluntarily 

transitions from TTY technology to RTT 

over wireless IP-based networks and 

services is encouraged to develop 

consumer and education efforts that 

include (1) the development and 

dissemination of educational materials 

that contain information pertinent to the 

nature, purpose, and timelines of the 

RTT transition; (2) internet postings, in 

an accessible format, of information 

about the TTY to RTT transition on the 

websites of covered entities; (3) the 

creation of a telephone hotline and an 

online interactive and accessible service 

that can answer consumer questions 

about RTT; and (4) appropriate training 

of staff to effectively respond to 

consumer questions. All consumer 

outreach and education should be 

provided in accessible formats 

including, but not limited to, large print, 

Braille, videos in American Sign 

Language and that are captioned and 

video described, emails to consumers 

who have opted to receive notices in 

this manner, and printed materials. 

Service providers and manufacturers are 

also encouraged to coordinate with 

consumer, public safety, and industry 

stakeholders to develop and distribute 

education and outreach materials. The 

information will inform consumers of 

alternative accessible technology 

available to replace TTY technology that 

may no longer be available to the 

consumer through their provider or on 

their device. 

(b) Each wireless provider that 

requested or will request and receive a 

waiver of the requirement to support 

TTY technology over wireless IP-based 

networks and services must apprise its 

customers, through effective and 

accessible channels of communication, 

that (1) until TTY is sunset, TTY 

technology will not be supported for 

calls to 911 services over IP-based 

wireless services, and (2) there are 

alternative PSTN-based and IP-based 

accessibility solutions for people with 

disabilities to reach 911 services. These 

notices must be developed in 

coordination with public safety 

answering points (PSAPs) and national 

consumer organizations, and include a 

listing of text-based alternatives to 911, 

including, but not limited to, TTY 

capability over the PSTN, various forms 

of PSTN-based and IP-based TRS, and 

text-to-911 (where available). The 

notices will inform consumers on the 

loss of the use of TTY for completing 

911 calls over the provider’s network 

and alert them to alternatives service for 

which TTY may be used. 

(c) Once every six months, each 

wireless provider that requests and 

receives a waiver of the requirement to 

support TTY technology must file a 

report with the Commission and inform 

its customers regarding its progress 

toward and the status of the availability 

of new IP-based accessibility solutions. 

Such reports must include (1) 

information on the interoperability of 

the provider’s selected accessibility 

solution with the technologies deployed 

or to be deployed by other carriers and 

service providers, (2) the backward 

compatibility of such solution with 

TTYs, (3) a showing of the provider’s 

efforts to ensure delivery of 911 calls to 

the appropriate PSAP, (4) a description 

of any obstacles incurred towards 

achieving interoperability and steps 

taken to overcome such obstacles, and 

(5) an estimated timetable for the 

deployment of accessibility solutions. 

The information will inform consumers 

of the progress towards the availability 

of alternative accessible means to 

replace TTY, and the Commission will 

be able to evaluate the reports to 

determine if any changes to the waivers 

are warranted or of any impediments to 

progress that it may be in a position to 

resolve.

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 

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 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) requests a one-year 

OMB approval to extend and revise the 

information collection titled, Promoting 

Adolescent Health through SchoolBased HIV/STD Prevention Reporting 

Templates. PS18–1807 Promoting 

Adolescent Health through SchoolBased HIV/STD Prevention was 

awarded August 1, 2018 with a six-year 

project period. It 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 US 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 STDs 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. 

There are separate templates and 

work plans for Component 1 reporting 

and for Component 2 reporting. A total 

of 80 sites will be filling out the 

Component 1 reporting template and 

work plan; 25 sites will be filling out the 

Component 2 reporting template and 

work plans (required programmatic 

activities work plan and professional 

development work plan). CDC will add 

one additional question to the reporting 

template. The additional question is: 

‘‘(If applicable) Publications: List 

publications resulting from the project, 

as well as plans for further 

publications.’’ The work plan template 

will not be modified. 

The Component 1 information 

collection uses a self-administered 

reporting template to assess surveillance 

activities conducted by recipient 

education and health agencies funded 

by 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 

collection uses a self-administered 

reporting template to assess HIV and 

STD prevention efforts conducted by 

local education agencies (LEA) funded 

by 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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
72762 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 203 / Monday, October 23, 2023 / Notices 

technical assistance is needed to help 

recipients improve their program 

implementation if necessary. In 

addition, the findings continue to allow 

CDC to determine the potential impact 

of currently recommended strategies 

and make changes to those 

recommendations if necessary. DASH 

was able to refine and target the 

technical assistance provided to 

recipient agencies to better ensure they 

completed their work plans and spent 

funds according to the original Notice of 

Funding Opportunity. The reporting 

template will include sections on the 

following topics: sexual health 

education (SHE), sexual health services 

(SHS), safe and supportive 

environments (SSE) required 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 

burden hours for respondents. There are 

no costs to respondents other than their 

time.
