13608 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 7, 2012 / Notices 

Background and Brief Description 

As part of a multi-component 

evaluation plan for the Community 

Transformation Grant program (CTG), 

CDC is seeking OMB approval to collect 

the information needed to conduct cost 

and cost-benefit analyses relating to the 

implementation of CTG-funded 

community interventions. Using a 

system dynamics approach, CDC also 

plans to conduct simulation modeling 

which will integrate the cost data with 

other data to predict selected chronic 

disease outcomes and their associated 

monetary impacts under various 

scenarios. CDC and NIH have previously 

collaborated on the development of 

analytic tools for system dynamics 

modeling under more limited 

conditions. The collection and analysis 

of actual cost data from CTG awardees 

will support the expansion and 

refinement of these analytic tools with 

respect to short-, intermediate- and 

long-term outcomes for large-scale, 

community-based programs that employ 

multiple policy and environmental 

change strategies. 

Information to be collected from 

participating CTG awardees includes 

the interventions to be implemented; 

expenditures for labor, personnel, 

consultants, materials, travel, services, 

and administration; in-kind 

contributions; and partner organizations 

and their expenditures. Information will 

be collected electronically via a userfriendly, Web-based CTG Cost Study 

Instrument (CTG–CSI). Respondents 

will be a subset of 30 out of 35 CTG 

awardees funded specifically for 

implementation activities. CDC will 

select awardees for participation in the 

cost data collection based on a list of 

priority interventions appropriate for 

cost analysis. 

Results of this data collection and 

planned analyses, including 

improvements in CDC’s analytic and 

modeling tools, will be used to assist 

CTG awardees, CDC, and HHS in 

choosing intervention approaches for 

particular populations that are both 

beneficial to public health and costeffective. 

OMB approval is requested for the 

first three years of a five-year project. 

CDC requests OMB approval by June 1, 

2012, to initiate data collection on July 

1, 2012. CDC plans to seek an extension 

of OMB approval to support information 

collection through the end of the fiveyear award period. 

Information will be collected 

electronically on a quarterly schedule. 

The estimated burden per response is 13 

hours and there are no costs to 

respondents except their time to 

participate in the survey. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

1,560.

Proposed Project 

Formative Research for the 

Development of CDC’s Act Against 

AIDS Social Marketing Campaigns 

Targeting Consumers—New—National 

Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, 

STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

More than 1 million people are 

estimated to be living with Human 

Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in the 

United States. Estimates of HIV 

incidence released by the CDC indicate 

that 56,300 people became infected with 

HIV in 2006. HIV disproportionately 

affects men, particularly men who have 

sex with men (MSM) and AfricanAmerican men. HIV is also a real threat 

to other communities at high risk such 

as the Hispanic/Latino community. 

In response to the continued HIV 

epidemic in our country, CDC launched 

Act Against AIDS (AAA) in 2009, a 5- 

year, multifaceted communication 

campaign consisting of several 

campaigns targeting various high-risk 

populations. The overall goals of AAA 

are to increase HIV/AIDS awareness and 

reduce HIV incidence in the United 

States. Each AAA campaign uses mass 

media and direct-to-consumer channels 

to deliver HIV prevention, awareness, 

and testing messages. Some campaigns 

are designed to provide basic education 

and increase awareness of HIV/AIDS 

among the general public, and others are 

targeted to specific subgroups or 

communities at greatest risk for HIV 

infection, including MSM, African 

Americans, HIV-positive individuals 

and other minority populations. 

As part of the overarching AAA 

campaign, CDC requests OMB approval 

to collect information from consumer 

groups over a three-year period. This 

study will encompass four rounds of 

data collection utilizing interviews, 

focus groups, and brief surveys. The

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 7, 2012 / Notices 13609 

results from this data collections will be 

used to develop AAA’s social marketing 

campaigns designed to increase HIV/ 

AIDS awareness and knowledge, 

understand HIV prevention behaviors, 

improve HIV testing rates, challenge 

commonly held misperceptions about 

HIV, and promote HIV prevention and 

risk reduction among consumers. The 

research results will be used to develop 

materials for six specific HIV social 

marketing campaigns under the 

umbrella of the larger Act Against AIDS 

campaign. The campaigns will target 

consumers aged 18–64. Some campaigns 

will target the general public as a whole 

and other campaigns will focus on 

specific subpopulations at greatest risk 

for HIV infection. The target audiences 

will include Latinos, men who have sex 

with men (MSM), HIV-positive 

individuals and African Americans. 

These data will assist CDC in addressing 

the HIV prevention needs of specific 

campaign audiences and make 

appropriate funding decisions regarding 

campaign development or campaign 

direction. 

Respondents will be members of the 

targeted consumer groups aged 18–64 

recruited from areas with high HIV/ 

AIDS prevalence and incidence such as 

New York, NY; Los Angeles, CA; 

Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; Atlanta, 

GA; Miami, FL; Philadelphia, PA; 

Houston, TX; San Francisco, CA; 

Baltimore, MD; Dallas, TX or other cities 

as appropriate. Respondents for this 

data collection will participate in a 

focus group, in-depth interview, or 

intercept interview. Focus group and indepth interview respondents will be 

recruited by professional recruiting 

firms. The professional recruiting firms 

will utilize a proprietary database of 

individuals who have agreed to be 

contacted for potential participation in 

various studies. Project staff will recruit 

intercept interview respondents in 

venues where the general public tend to 

gather, such as health fairs or other 

community events. 

Information collection will begin after 

receiving approval and end three years 

from approval. The study will screen 

1,538 people per year for eligibility. Of 

the 1,538 people screened, it is expected 

that 500 people will participate in focus 

groups, 500 people will participate in 

in-depth interviews. All focus group 

and in-depth interview participants will 

complete a brief paper and pencil 

survey. Seven hundred people will 

participate in intercept interviews. The 

total estimated burden for this one-time 

data collection is 6,852 hours. 

Annualizing this information over 3 

years results in an estimated annualized 

burden of 2,284 hours. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time.

Proposed Project 

Title: 45 CFR Part 1305 Head Start 

Eligibility Verification. 

OMB No.: 0970–0374. 

Description: The requirements for 

establishing proof of eligibility for the 

enrollment of children in Head Start 

programs are documented in 45 CFR 

1305.4(e). Each child’s record must 

include a signed document by an 

employee identifying those documents 

which were reviewed to determine 

eligibility. Presently there is no uniform 

document which the employee must 

sign. This form will be used to facilitate 

an efficient and accurate determination 

of children’s eligibility for Head Start 

enrollment. 

Respondents: Head Start grantees.
