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 30333. Written comments should be

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.

Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork

Reduction Act Review

The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of

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

information on these projects or to

obtain a copy of the data collection

plans and instruments, call the CDC

Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639–

7090. Send written comments to Wilma

Johnson, CDC Reports Clearance Officer,

1600 Clifton Road, MS–D24, Atlanta,

GA 30333. Written comments should be

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
