temporary but significant increase in

lodging costs due to the escalation of

lodging rates during the annual Masters

Golf Tournament held in Augusta.

EFFECTIVE DATES: This special rate is

retroactively applicable to claims for

reimbursement covering travel to

Augusta, Georgia, during the period

April 8 through April 15, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Administrator of General Services,

pursuant to 41 CFR 301–8.3(c) and at

the request of the Secretary of

Transportation, increased the maximum

daily amount of reimbursement that

actual and necessary subsistence

expenses for official travel to Augusta

(Richmond County), Georgia, during the

period April 8 through April 15, 1996.

The attached GSA Bulletin FTR 18 is

Attachment

[GSA Bulletin FTR 18]

May 20, 1996.

To: Heads of Federal agencies

Subject: Reimbursement of higher actual

subsistence expenses for official travel to

Augusta (Richmond County), Georgia

1. Purpose. This bulletin informs agencies

of the establishment of a special actual

subsistence expense ceiling for official travel

to Augusta (Richmond County), Georgia, due

to the escalation of lodging rates during the

annual Masters Golf Tournament held there.

This special rate is retroactively applicable to

claims for reimbursement covering travel

during the period April 8 through April 15,

1996.

2. Background. The Federal Travel

Regulation (FTR) (41 CFR chapters 301–304)

part 301–8 permits the Administrator of

General Services to establish a higher

maximum daily rate for the reimbursement of

actual subsistence expenses of Federal

employees on official travel to an area within

the continental United States. The head of an

agency may request establishment of such a

rate when special or unusual circumstances

result in an extreme increase in subsistence

costs for a temporary period. The Secretary

of Transportation (DOT) requested

establishment of such a rate for Augusta to

accommodate employees who performed

temporary duty there and experienced a

temporary but significant increase in lodging

costs due to the escalation of lodging rates

during the annual Masters Golf Tournament.

These circumstances justify the need for

higher subsistence expense reimbursement in

Augusta during the designated period.

3. Maximum rate and effective date. The

Administrator of General Services, pursuant

to 41 CFR 301–8.3(c), increased the

maximum daily amount of reimbursement

that agencies may retroactively approve for

actual and necessary subsistence expenses

for official travel to Augusta (Richmond

County), Georgia, during the period April 8

through April 15, 1996. Agencies may

retroactively approve actual subsistence

expense reimbursement not to exceed $214

($184 maximum for lodging and a $30

allowance for meals and incidental expenses)

for official travel to Augusta (Richmond

County), Georgia, during this time period.

4. Expiration date. This bulletin expires on

October 1, 1996.

5. For further information contact.

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,

received within 60 days of this notice.

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.

information collection requests under

review by the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) in compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35). To request more

Johnson, CDC Reports Clearance Officer,

received within 30 days of this notice.

The following requests have been

submitted for review since the last

publication date on May 9, 1996.

Proposed Projects

1. Resources and Services Database of

the CDC National AIDS Clearinghouse

(NAC)—(0920–0255)—Extension—This

is a request to extend this project for

three years. NAC will mail the Resource

Organization Questionnaire along with a

cover letter once an organization is

identified as providing AIDS-related

services. Each organization will also

receive a stamped, self-addressed

envelope for the return of the

questionnaire. If there is no response a

follow-up letter will be sent along with

another questionnaire and return

envelope. A telephone call will be made

to those organizations who respond but

whose responses need clarification.

Approximately one third of the entire

Resources and Services Database is

verified each year. As part of this

process, 40 percent of these

organizations will receive a copy of

their current database entry by mail,

including a cover letter, a list of

instructions, and a stamped, selfaddressed envelope. The remaining 60

percent will receive a telephone call to

review their record.

The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) National AIDS

Clearinghouse (NAC), is a critical

member of the network of government

agencies, community organizations,

businesses, health professionals,

educators, and human services

providers that educate the American

public about Acquired

immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)

and provide services for persons

infected with human immunodeficiency

virus (HIV). NAC’s Resources and

Services Database contains records of
