Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance 
System to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection 
Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on April 13, 
2017 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC 
received seven comments related to the previous notice. This notice 
serves to allow an additional 30 days for public and affected agency 
comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    (d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including, through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses; and
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Direct written comments 
and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice to the 
Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide 
written comments within 30 days of notice publication.

Proposed Project

    Assessing School-centered HIV/STD Prevention Efforts in a Local 
Education

Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    HIV infections remain high among young men who have sex with men. 
The estimated number of new HIV infections increased between 2008 and 
2010 both overall and among MSM ages 13 to 24. Sexual risk behaviors 
associated with HIV, other sexually transmitted disease (STD), and 
pregnancy often emerge in adolescence. The 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. The data revealed high school students 
identifying as gay, lesbian, and bisexual and those reporting sexual 
contact with both males and females were more likely to engage 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 
around schools.
    For this revised information collection project, CDC requests a 
one-year OMB approval. This CDC-funded information collection project 
is the third data collection to assess HIV and STD prevention efforts 
in one local education agency (LEA). CDC's cooperative agreement, under 
funding opportunity announcement PS13-1308: Promoting Adolescent Health 
through School-Based HIV/STD Prevention and School-Based Surveillance, 
funds agencies and organizations to implement the following four key 
strategies. Strategy 1: School-Based Surveillance; Strategy 2: School-
Based HIV/STD Prevention; Strategy 3: Capacity Building Assistance for 
School-Based HIV/STD Prevention; and Strategy 4: School-Centered HIV/
STD Prevention for Young Men Who Have Sex with Men. This project aligns 
with Strategy 4 implementation.
    This collection will provide data and reports for the LEA, and will 
allow the LEA to identify program areas that are working well and other 
areas that need improvement. The findings will allow CDC to determine 
the potential impact of currently recommended strategies and make 
changes to those recommendations if necessary.
    The questionnaire covers demographics, HIV/STD risk behaviors, use 
of HIV/health services, experiences at school, including school 
connectedness, harassment and bullying, homophobia, support of LGBTQ 
students, sexual orientation, receipt of referral for HIV and STD 
prevention health services, and health education.
    This data collection system involves administration of a paper-and-
pencil questionnaire to seven high schools that are participating in 
the HIV/STD prevention project. This is the third and final data 
collection of a 4-year project that includes three data collections; 
previous data collections occurred in December 2014 and December 2016. 
Data collection points coincide with the approximate beginning, mid-
way, and end points of the cooperative agreement.
    We anticipate the final data collection will yield data from up to 
16,500 high school students in grades 9 through 12 at the selected 
schools. Although some students may have completed the questionnaire in 
one or more of the previous years, this is not a longitudinal design 
and researchers will not track individual student responses across the 
years. Researchers will not collect personally identifiable 
information.
    All students' parents will receive parental consent forms to 
provide them with an opportunity to opt their children out of the 
study. Each student will read verbal assent language that explains that 
he or she may choose not to complete the questionnaire or may skip any 
questions without penalty. Participation is voluntary.
    The estimated burden per response ranges from 35-45 minutes due to 
the variability in skip patterns that may occur. Students will complete 
the questionnaire only once under this approval. Annualizing the 
collection over a one-year period results in an estimated annualized 
burden of 11,000 hours for respondents. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time.
