Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of 
its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility 
of government information, invites the general public and other Federal 
agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or 
continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. To request more information on the below 
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan 
and instruments, call 404-639-7570 or send comments to Leroy A. 
Richardson, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an 
email to omb@cdc.gov.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) approval. 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. Written comments should be received within 60 
days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Using Rapid Assessment Methods to Understand Issues in HIV 
Prevention, Care and Treatment in the United States--New--National 
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requests approval 
for a 3-year clearance to collect data using rapid qualitative 
inquiries to understand issues related to HIV prevention, care, and 
treatment in the United States. Rapid inquiries are concentrated data 
collection and iterative data analytic efforts focused on timely and 
relevant responses to urgent issues and research questions. Although we 
will collect the majority of data using qualitative methods, many 
studies covered under this generic information collection, will involve 
a mixed methods approach for data collection.
    The rapid inquiries will include multiple well-established 
qualitative methodologies, which may include but not be limited to in-
depth individual interviews, focus groups, direct observations, case 
studies, document reviews, or brief quantitative surveys assessing 
demographics, behaviors, attitudes, intentions, beliefs, or other 
attributes of the respondents. In some assessments, additional 
contextual information may be collected, such as information about the 
respondents' community, workplaces, or organizations and places where 
they interact. CDC expects to qualitative data from approximately 1,800 
respondents, assuming three research studies per year with each 
research study collecting data from 200 respondents.
    For all proposed studies under this generic information collection, 
our

efforts are expected to provide insight regarding a wide array of HIV-
related programs designed for various populations throughout the United 
States, including but not limited to: Persons living with HIV/AIDS 
(PLWH); persons at elevated risk for acquiring new HIV infection or 
transmitting existing HIV infection to others; clinicians or other HIV 
care providers; men who have sex with men (MSM); transgender persons; 
injection and non-injection drug users; incarcerated populations or ex-
prisoners; commercial sex workers; male and female heterosexual groups 
at high risk for HIV infection; and other providers and organizations 
(e.g., health departments, community-based organizations, public and 
private health clinics, advocacy groups, community groups, or other 
governmental and nongovernmental organizations) serving or otherwise 
interacting with persons at greatest need for HIV prevention, care, and 
treatment.
    Recruitment procedures will vary slightly based on the target 
population and research design of each information collection submitted 
under this generic information collection. Partner organizations such 
as public and private health clinics and community-based organizations 
that serve the target populations in the respective geographic 
locations may be contacted for their assistance in recruitment of 
potential respondents. Respondents may be identified and selected as 
key informants and invited to participate by contractor staff members.
    Sampling recruitment methods may include, but not be limited to: 
Use of social networking sites, the Internet, print marketing 
materials, and other methods to find and enroll respondents into the 
research study.
    All data collection tools will be pre-tested and interviews 
conducted by trained personnel. The data collection will take place at 
a time and place that is convenient to the respondent. Locations will 
be private. Data collection may be audio-recorded and transcribed with 
the consent of the respondent.
    We anticipate that each screener form will take 5 minutes to 
complete, contact information forms will take 1 minute to complete, and 
consent forms will take 5 minutes to complete. We anticipate 75 percent 
of those eligible to participate will enroll into study. Demographic 
surveys will take 15 minutes to complete. In-depth interviews, focus 
groups or other data collections are expected to take an average 45 
minutes for healthcare providers and 60 minutes (1 hour) for general 
respondents to complete.
    The data collections supported under this generic information 
collection will be used to provide insight regarding barriers and 
facilitators to HIV prevention, care, and treatment in the United 
States and territories, and thus suggest ways CDC might improve 
programmatic activities along the continuum of HIV prevention, 
treatment and care.
    The total estimated annualized burden hours are 918. There are no 
costs to respondents other than their time.
