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 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; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

Proposed Project

    Capacity Building Assistance Assessment for HIV Prevention--New--
National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention 
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    For over 30 years, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has been an 
epidemic, affecting millions globally. According to the CDC, by the end 
of 2010 an estimated 1,144,500 persons aged 13 years and older were 
living with HIV infection in the U.S., including 180,900 (15.8%) 
persons who are unaware of their infection. Over the past 10 years, 
deaths among persons in the U.S. living with HIV have declined, the 
number of people living with HIV has increased, and the number of new 
HIV infections has remained stable with approximately 50,000 new 
infections annually.
    Some groups are disproportionately affected by this epidemic. For 
example, between 2006 and 2009, there was an almost 50% increase in the 
number of new HIV infections among young Black men who have sex with 
men (MSM). In order to address these health disparities, the CDC is 
funding 90 CBOs and their collaborative partners (Partnerships) to 
address the national HIV epidemic by reducing new infections, 
increasing access to care, and promoting health equity; particularly 
for people living with and at greatest risk of HIV infection. This 
includes African Americans/Blacks; Latinos/Hispanics; all races and 
ethnicities of gay, bisexual, and other MSM; IDUs; and transgender 
persons.
    Building the capacity of the funded organizations to conduct HIV 
programs and services is a priority to ensure effective and efficient 
delivery of HIV prevention treatment and care services. Since the late 
1980s, CDC has been working with CBOs to broaden the reach of HIV 
prevention efforts. Over time, the CDC's program for HIV prevention has 
grown in size, scope, and complexity, responding to changes in 
approaches to addressing the epidemic, including the introduction of 
new guidance, effective behavioral, biomedical, and structural 
interventions, and public health strategies.
    The Capacity Building Branch within the Division of HIV/AIDS 
Prevention (D provides national leadership and support for capacity 
building assistance (CBA) to help improve the performance of the HIV 
prevention workforce. One way that it accomplishes this task is by 
funding CBA providers to work with CBOs, health departments, and 
communities to increase their knowledge, skills, technology, and 
infrastructure to implement and sustain science-based, culturally 
appropriate interventions and public health strategies.
    Applicants selected for funding must work with the CDC-funded CBA 
providers to develop and implement a Capacity Building Assistance 
Strategic Plan (CBASP). The information collected via this process will 
be used to construct a CBASP for each funded organization in 
collaboration with CDC's Capacity Building Branch (CBB). CBA Providers 
will provide technical assistance and training to ensure that the CBOs 
and Partnerships have the skills and support they need to successfully 
implement their CDC-funded HIV High Impact Prevention program.
    CBA providers will conduct face-to-face field visits with the CBOs 
and partners utilizing the structured organizational needs assessment 
tool. This comprehensive tool consists of two Parts, (Part I and Part 
II). Part I will be completed by all organizations and Part II will be 
completed only by the lead organizations of a Partnership. The tool 
offers a mixed-methods data collection approach consisting of 
checklists, close-ended (quantitative) questions, and open-ended 
(qualitative) questions. CBOs will be asked to complete the tool prior 
to the field visits in order to maximize time during the visits for 
discussion and strategic planning.
    Findings from this project will be used by the participating CBOs 
and Partnerships, the CBA providers, and the Capacity Building Branch. 
By the end of the project, the participating CBOs and Partnerships will 
have tailored CBA strategic plans that they can use to help sustain 
their programs across and beyond the life of their funding. Based on 
these plans, the CBA providers in collaboration with CDC will be able 
to better identify and address those needs most reported by CBOs. 
Finally, the Capacity Building Branch will be able to refine its 
approach to conceptualizing and providing CBA on a national level in 
the most cost-effective manner possible.
    There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
