SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Patient Safety and Quality 

Improvement Act of 2005, 42 U.S.C. 

299b–21 to b–26, (Patient Safety Act) 

and the related Patient Safety and 

Quality Improvement Final Rule, 42 

CFR part 3 (Patient Safety Rule), 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 21, 2008, 73 FR 70732– 

70814, establish a framework by which 

hospitals, doctors, and other health care 

providers may voluntarily report 

information to Patient Safety 

Organizations (PSOs), on a privileged 

and confidential basis, for the 

aggregation and analysis of patient 

safety events. The Patient Safety Act 

authorizes the listing of PSOs, which are 

entities or component organizations 

whose mission and primary activity are 

to conduct activities to improve patient 

safety and the quality of health care 

delivery. 

HHS issued the Patient Safety Rule to 

implement the Patient Safety Act. 

AHRQ administers the provisions of the 

Patient Safety Act and Patient Safety 

Rule relating to the listing and operation 

of PSOs. The Patient Safety Rule 

authorizes AHRQ to list as a PSO an 

entity that attests that it meets the 

statutory and regulatory requirements 

for listing. A PSO can be ‘‘delisted’’ if 

it is found to no longer meet the 

requirements of the Patient Safety Act 

and Patient Safety Rule, when a PSO 

chooses to voluntarily relinquish its 

status as a PSO for any reason, or when 

a PSO’s listing expires. Section 3.108(d) 

of the Patient Safety Rule requires 

AHRQ to provide public notice when it 

removes an organization from the list of 

federally approved PSOs. 

AHRQ has accepted a notification 

from the Specialty Benchmarks PSO, a 

component entity of Market Share, LLC, 

PSO number P0113, to voluntarily 

relinquish its status as a PSO. 

Accordingly, the Specialty Benchmarks 

PSO was delisted effective at 12:00 

Midnight ET (2400) on July 12, 2017. 

The Specialty Benchmarks PSO has 

patient safety work product (PSWP) in 

its possession. The PSO will meet the 

requirements of section 3.108(c)(2)(i) of 

the Patient Safety Rule regarding 

notification to providers that have 

reported to the PSO and of section 

3.108(c)(2)(ii) regarding disposition of 

PSWP consistent with section 

3.108(b)(3). According to section 

3.108(b)(3) of the Patient Safety Rule, 

the PSO has 90 days from the effective 

date of delisting and revocation to 

complete the disposition of PSWP that 

is currently in the PSO’s possession. 

More information on PSOs can be 

obtained through AHRQ’s PSO Web site 

at http://www.pso.ahrq.gov.

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 OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

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

Proposed Project 

Assessing Education Agency Staff 

Perceptions of School Climate and 

Youth Access to Services (OMB Control 

Number 0920–1048, expiration date 2/ 

28/2018)—Revision—Division of 

Adolescent and School Health (DASH), 

National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral 

Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

HIV infections remain high among 

young men who have sex with men 

(YMSM). The estimated number of new 

HIV infections increased between 2008 

and 2010 both overall and among MSM 

ages 13 to 24. Furthermore, sexual risk 

behaviors associated with HIV, other 

sexually transmitted disease (STD), and 

pregnancy often emerge in adolescence. 

For example, 2015 Youth Risk Behavior 

Surveillance System (YRBSS) data 

revealed 41.2% of U.S. high school 

students reported having had sex, and 

among those who had sex in the 

previous three months, only 56.9% 

reported having used a condom during 

last sexual intercourse. In addition, 

2015 YRBSS data revealed high school 

students identifying as gay, lesbian, and 

bisexual were more likely to report 

engaging in sexual risk-taking behaviors 

than heterosexual students. 

Given the disproportionate risk for 

HIV among YMSM ages 13–24, it is 

important to find ways to reach the 

younger youth (i.e., ages 13–19) in this 

range to decrease sexual risk behaviors 

and increase health-promoting 

behaviors such as routine HIV testing. 

Schools provide one opportunity for 

this. Because schools enroll more than 

22 million teens (ages 14–19) and often 

have existing health and social services 

infrastructure, schools and their staff 

members are well-positioned to connect 

youth to a wide range of needed 

services, including housing assistance, 

support groups, and sexual health 

services such as HIV testing. As a result, 

CDC’s DASH has focused a number of 

HIV and STD prevention efforts on 

strategies that can be implemented in or 

centered on schools. 

However, conducting HIV and STD 

prevention work (particularly work that 

is designed to specifically meet the 

needs of YMSM), can be challenging. 

School is not always a welcoming 

environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, 

transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) 

youth. Harassment, bullying, and verbal 

and physical assault are often reported, 

and such unsupportive environments 

and victimization among LGBT youth 

are associated with a variety of negative 

outcomes, including truancy, substance 

use, poor mental health, HIV and STD 

risk, and even suicide. 

The CDC requests a one-year OMB 

approval for the revision of the 

information collection entitled, 

‘‘Assessing Education Agency Staff 

Perceptions of School Climate and 

Youth Access to Services.’’ The 

information collection uses 2 separate, 

but complementary, information 

collections to conduct assessment of 

HIV and STD prevention efforts that are 

taking place in three local education 

agencies (LEA) funded by the Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC), Division of Adolescent and 

School Health (DASH) under strategy 4 

(School-Centered HIV/STD Prevention 

for Young Men Who Have Sex with 

Men) of PS13–1308: Promoting 

Adolescent Health through SchoolBased HIV/STD Prevention and SchoolBased Surveillance. This data collection 

will provide data and reports for the 

funded LEAs, and will allow the LEAs 

to identify areas of the program that are 

working well and other areas that will 

need additional improvement. In 

addition, the findings will allow CDC to 

determine the potential impact of 

currently recommended strategies and 

make changes to those 

recommendations if necessary. This 

revision request involves no changes to 

instruments, protocols, or burden 

estimates per respondent or per data 

collection cycle; however, annualized 

burden estimates have technical 

changes due to changes in the number 

of data collections planned and the 

length of clearance requested. 

The first information collection will 

involve collecting information from a 

total of up to 735 LEA employees in 3 

LEAs through a Web-based instrument 

tailored to each LEA. The instrument 

will include items that ask education 

agency staff about professional 

development, referral practices, 

community linkages/partners, school 

climate for LGBTQ youth, school 

policies and practices, and staff comfort 

levels in helping address the health 

needs of YMSM. 

The second information collection 

will be conducted in only 1 LEA 

(Broward County Public Schools) and is 

designed to provide an in-depth 

assessment of one LEA as a way to 

supplement the Web-based data 

collection with more detailed 

information. This information collection 

will involve in-person interviews with 

up to 44 LEA employees (2 district level 

employees, and up to 6 school level 

employees in each of 7 schools) to learn 

about six domains that can impact 

school climate: Policy, practice, 

programs, professional development, 

place, and pedagogy. 

Both the Web-based instrument and 

in-person interviews will be 

administered in the 2017–2018 school 

year as the final data collection in a 

series of data collections for the 5-year 

PS13–1308 cooperative agreement. 

Although some staff may have 

participated in previous years’ data 

collections, this is not a longitudinal 

design and individual staff member 

responses will not be tracked across the 

years. No personally identifiable 

information will be collected. 

All school staff members will receive 

informed consent forms prior to 

participation in the information 

collection. The consent form explains 

the study and also explains participants 

may choose not to complete the Webbased instrument or participate in the 

interviews with no penalty and no 

impact on their job or relationship with 

the LEA. Participation is completely 

voluntary. 

For the Web-based instrument, the 

estimated burden per response ranges 

from 20–25 minutes. This variation in 

burden is due to the slight variability in 

skip patterns that may occur with 

certain responses and variations in the 

reading speed of respondents. The 

burden estimates presented here are 

based on the assumption of a 25-minute 

response time per response. The 

estimated annualized burden of this 

data collection is 306 hours for 

respondents. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time. 

For the Web-based instrument, the 

estimated burden per response ranges 

from 60–90 minutes, depending on 

whether the respondent is a districtlevel administrator, a school-level 

administrator, or another school staff 

member. The burden estimates 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 158 / Thursday, August 17, 2017 / Notices 39127 

presented here are based on the 

assumption of a 1-hour response time 

per district-level and school-level 

administrator response and a 1.5-hour 

response time per school staff member 

response. The estimated annualized 

burden of this data collection is 58 

hours for respondents. There are no 

costs to respondents other than their 

time. 

The two information collections 

combine for a total estimated 

annualized burden of 367 hours for 

respondents.
