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

    Promoting Adolescent Health Through School-Based HIV/STD Prevention 
(OMB Control Number 0920-1049, expiration, 2/28/2018)--Extension--
National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Many young people engage in sexual behaviors that place them at 
risk for HIV infection, other sexually transmitted diseases (STD), and 
pregnancy. According to the 2011 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey 
(YRBS) results, 47% of U.S. high school students ever had sexual 
intercourse; 34% had sexual intercourse with at least one person during 
the three months before the survey; and 15% had had sexual intercourse 
with four or more persons during their lifetime. Of those sexually 
active high school students, 40% reported that either they or their 
partner had not used a condom during last sexual intercourse, and 77% 
reported that either they or their partner had not used birth control 
pills or Depo-Provera (or any injectable birth control), Nuva Ring (or 
any birth control ring), Implanon (or any implant), or any intrauterine 
device (IUD) before last sexual intercourse.
    Establishing healthy behaviors during childhood and adolescence is 
easier and more effective than trying to change unhealthy behaviors 
during adulthood. Since 1987, the Division of Adolescent and School 
Health (DASH), which is now a part of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, 
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC), has been a unique source of support for HIV 
prevention efforts in the Nation's schools.
    Funded agencies include non-governmental organizations, state 
education agencies, and local education agencies. The primary purpose 
of Cooperative Agreement PS-13-1308 is (1) to build the capacity of 
priority districts and priority schools to effectively contribute to 
the reduction of HIV infection and other STD among adolescents; (2) the 
reduction of disparities in HIV infection and other STD experienced by 
specific adolescent sub-populations; and (3) the conducting of school-
based surveillance, a component not included in this data collection 
for evaluation.
    During the previous approval period we completed six rounds of data 
collection and review, including the completion of biannual progress 
reports that provided our funded partners with information on their 
progress towards achieving the goals of PS13-1308. We completed two 
annual reports that summarized all of the data collected via this 
information collection request and provided our division and center 
information on strengths and barriers to the success of activities 
under funding opportunity announcement PS13-1308. Additionally, these 
findings have been submitted to the upcoming American Public Health 
Association 2017 meeting for dissemination to broader public health 
audiences.
    We are requesting an OMB approval for a one-year extension of the 
current information collection request so that we can gather 
performance monitoring data for the remaining year of PS13-1308. We 
will use this time to collect data on the performance of PS13-1308 
funded agencies to better inform our program as they make decisions 
about the progress of the current funding opportunity and future 
funding announcements.
    CDC continue to use a web-based system to collect data on the 
approaches that funded agencies are using to meet their goals. 
Approaches include helping districts and schools deliver exemplary 
sexual health education emphasizing HIV and other STD prevention; 
increasing adolescent access to key sexual health services; and 
establishing safe and supportive environments for students and staff.
    To track funded agency progress and evaluate the effectiveness of 
program activities, CDC will collect data using a mix of process and 
performance measures. Process measures, which all funded agencies will 
complete, are important to assess the extent to which planned program 
activities have been implemented and lead to feasible and sustainable 
programmatic outcomes. Process measures include items on school health 
policy assessment and monitoring, and on providing training and 
technical assistance to partner education agencies and schools. Only 
state and local education agencies will complete performance measures 
to assess whether funded activities at each site are leading to 
intended outcomes including public health impact of systemic change in 
schools. These measures drove the development of questionnaires that 
have been tailored to each funded agencies' approach (i.e., exemplary 
sexual health education, sexual health services, and safe and 
supportive environments).
    Respondents include 18 state education agencies, 17 local education 
agencies, and 6 non-governmental organizations that have all been 
funded under PS13-1308. The questionnaires will be submitted to CDC 
semi-annually using the Program Evaluation and Reporting System, an 
electronic web-based interface specifically designed for this data 
collection.
    Each funded agency received a unique log-in to the system and 
technical assistance to ensure they can use the system easily. The 
dates when data are requested reflect Procurement and Grants Office 
deadlines to provide timely feedback to funded agencies and CDC staff 
for accountability and optimal use of funds. CDC anticipates that semi-
annual information collection will occur in August 2017-July 2018.
    The estimated burden per response ranges from 0.5 hours to 6 hours. 
This variation in burden is due to the variability in the questions on 
the forms based on the approach and type of funded agency. For 
instance, non-governmental organizations have fewer questions to 
respond to because they only have questions for process evaluation. 
Local education agencies have the highest burden because it takes more 
time to gather information as they gather data at the school- and 
student-level as compared with state education agencies that report 
only state- and district-level data. The annualized burden of 804 hours 
is for all funded agencies. The reduction in burden is a result of one 
partner agency that withdrew from participation.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
