Proposed Data Collections Submitted

In compliance with the requirement

of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the

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 Anne

Proposed Projects: Pediatric and

Adult HIV/AIDS Case Reports—New—

National Center for HIV, STD, and TB

Prevention (NCHSTP). For many years

Pediatric and Adult case reports were

included in the OMB clearance for the

National Disease Surveillance

Program—I. Case Reports, OMB Number

0920–0009. This clearance currently

includes the formal surveillance of 19

separate reportable diseases which are

ongoing to meet the public demand and

scientific interest for accurate,

consistent, epidemiologic data. These

ongoing diseases include: bacterial

meningitis, dengue, hantavirus, HIV/

AIDS, Idiopathic CD4+Tlymphocytopenia, Kawasaki syndrome,

Legionellosis, lyme disease, malaria,

Mycobacterium avium Complex

Disease, plague, Reye Syndrome, tickborne Rickettsial Disease, toxic shock

syndrome, toxocariasis, trichinosis,

typhoid fever, and viral hepatitis. Case

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 6 / Tuesday, January 9, 2001 / Notices 1683

report forms enable CDC to collect

demographic, clinical, and laboratory

characteristics of cases of these diseases.

This information is used to direct

epidemiologic investigations, to identify

and monitor trends in reemerging

infectious diseases or emerging modes

of transmission, to search for possible

causes or sources of the diseases, and to

develop guidelines for the prevention of

treatment.

CDC proposes to separate the two

HIV/AIDS case reports from the current

clearance in order to have the case

reports sent to the appropriate CDC

organizational entity. Under the current

clearance these forms are managed by

the staff within the National Centers for

Infectious Diseases (NCID). Separating

the packages into two clearances will be

more efficient for CDC. These forms are

used to report all HIV/AIDS cases for

children and adults in all 50 states,

Guam, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico,

and the Virgin Islands. The information

collected and the methodology used

will remain the same. The data will

continue to be used for the purposes

described in the previous paragraph.

The total annualized burden is 4,373

hours. The total cost to respondents is

estimated at $65,595.

Proposed Project

Geo-Analysis of HIV Prevention

Services Provided by CDC to Directly

and Indirectly Funded CommunityBased Organizations (CBOs). NEW—The

Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC), National Center for

HIV, STD, and TB Prevention

(NCHSTP), Division of HIV/AIDS

Prevention (DHAP) proposes an

evaluation project which will build on

the knowledge gained from the previous

studies to provide a multi-level, georeferenced review of CDC-funded,

community-based organization (CBO)-

provided HIV prevention services. The

purposes of this project are: (1) To

contribute to the construction of a

national database of HIV prevention

activities by developing a geo-coded

database that identifies, locates and

maps all CBOs directly and indirectly

funded by CDC in the US and its

territories, and (2) to evaluate the

comprehensiveness of HIV prevention

services in geographic areas across the

United States of America and territories

through the use of Geographic

Information Systems (GIS) technology as

the primary analytical tool.

This project is being tasked under the

Enhanced Program Assessments with

Laboratory Capability Task Order

Contract (200–96–0511) because of its

program evaluation component. By

using GIS to identify gaps in service

provision within a given geographic

area, program changes can be

recommended to those health

departments and CBOs participating in

the project. These recommended

changes may include adjusting services

provided or target populations in an

effort to close identified gaps.

Collaboration between government

agencies and CBOs with access to a

particular group at risk has been a

traditional approach in public health in

the United States. CDC promotes the

collaboration and coordination of HIV

prevention efforts between CBOs and of

CBOs with State health departments,

affiliates of National and Regional

Minority Organizations(NRMOs), HIV

prevention service agencies, and other

public agencies including substance

abuse programs, educational institutions

and the criminal justice system. CDC

promotes collaboration as a strategy for

(1) improving access to and for at risk

populations and communities, (2)

improving the direct delivery of

services, (3) improving referral of clients

to services, and (4) creating

comprehensive HIV services in

designated geographical jurisdictions.

The use of GIS will enhance the

accomplishment of these three goals by

providing information to funders and

other shareholders to enhance CBOs in

their efforts to provide interventions

and client referrals and services that are

accessible to the populations in need of

them. This data will assist the CDC to

determine the effectiveness of federal

funding, whether the funding is

affecting the designated high risk or

infected groups such as

disproportionately affected minorities

where they live, or whether or not there

are available programs to link with for

more comprehensive services.

The project will use appropriate

technology to minimize respondent

burden. A self-report mailed

questionnaire, three pages in length,

will be mailed. Attached, will be two

maps of the geographical area (city and

surrounding metropolitan area) where

each CBO is located. The use of maps

eliminates the need to locate maps to

respond to questions concerning

location and distance. This project will

not be requesting information of a

sensitive nature. The project deals with

the types of interventions offered to

high risk or HIV positive individuals,

location and access.

The CDC anticipates one person per

CBO (total # of approximately 2000) to

complete the data collection form once

during the 2000 for approximately 30

minutes. Therefore, the total response

burden is estimated at 1000 hours.
