Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

    In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on 
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. 
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a 
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call the CDC Reports 
Clearance Officer on (404) 639-7090.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques for other 
forms of information technology. Send comments to Wilma Johnson, CDC 
Reports Clearance Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D24, Atlanta, GA

Proposed Projects

    1. HIV Prevention Programs in National/Regional Minority and Other 
Community Based Organization Project Reports--(0920-0249)--
Reinstatement--CDC is responsible for monitoring and evaluating HIV 
prevention activities conducted under cooperative agreements with 
National/Regional Minority and Other Community Based Organizations. 
Enhancing and assuring quality programming requires that CDC have 
current information regarding the progress of activities and services 
supported through these cooperative agreements. In some instances, 
these cooperative agreements have been awarded to organizations that 
have not previously been awarded Federal funds, or provided HIV 
prevention services. Additionally, many have limited infrastructure, 
requiring greater oversight and technical assistance. Technical 
assistance site visits and telephone communications do provide some of 
the required information; yet, site visits have been dramatically 
reduced and specific contents of phone conversations can be easily 
forgotten, especially when several awards are administered by one 
individual. Therefore, thorough quarterly project reports are 
considered a critical component of the monitoring/evaluation process. 
Because this program encompasses at least 23 N/RMOs and 90 CBOs awards, 
there is a need for a standardized system for reporting the progress of 
each organization's activities. The total cost to respondents is 
$22,028.80.
