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 404-639-5960
and send comments to Maryam Daneshvar, CDC Acting Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail

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

[[Page 27317]]
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

Proposed Project
Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) Information, Collection,
Reporting, and Monitoring (OMB 0920-0658)--two year extension
of the currently approved collection--National Center for HIV and AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Disease, Tuberculosis Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this request is to obtain OMB clearance to extend
the 3-year clearance for information collection to monitor the HIV
prevention activities of CBA provider grantees funded by CDC to provide
HIV prevention CBA from April, 1 2004 through March 31, 2009. Capacity
building is a key strategy for the promotion and sustainability of
health prevention programs. Capacity building generally refers to the
skills, infrastructure, and resources of organizations and communities
that are necessary to effect and maintain behavior change, thus
reducing the level of risk for disease, disability, and injury. CDC is
responsible for monitoring and evaluating HIV prevention activities
conducted under these cooperative agreement numbers 04019, 05015, and
06608. Reporting and monitoring forms have been used to collect
information that assists in enhancing and assuring quality programming.
CDC requires current information regarding CBA activities and services
supported through these cooperative agreements. Therefore, forms such
as the Trimester Interim Progress Report, CBA Notification Form, CBA
Completion Form, and the CBA Training Events Report are considered a
critical component of the monitoring/evaluation process. Because this
program encompasses approximately 32 CBA provider organizations, there
is a continued need for a standardized system for reporting individual
episodes of CBA delivered by all CBA provider grantees. The information
collected from the Trimester Progress Report, CBA Notification, CBA
Completion Form, and the CBA Training Events Report, will allow CDC to
further identify problems and technical assistance needs of CBO, or CBA
grantees in a timely fashion and subsequently improve the effectiveness
of CBA program activities and to ensure that they are aligned with
national goals. The data collected using the CBA Notification and
Completion Forms, and the Training Events Report are now being
collected via a web portal (http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/cba) that has gone through
a Certification and Accreditation process. Continued collection of this
data in addition to the Trimester Progress Report will assist CDC, to
aggregate data, and to discern and refine national goals and objectives
for HIV prevention capacity building. This information collection
process is also valuable for grantees as a management tool to routinely
examining CBA program performance by assessing strengths and weaknesses
in line with the CBA program, performance indicators, and national
objectives.
It is estimated that form A will require 4 hours of preparation by
the respondent, form B will require 15 minutes of preparation by the
respondent, and form C will require 30 minutes of preparation by the
respondent, and form D will require 2 hours of preparation by the
respondent. In aggregate, report preparation requires approximately
1952 burden hours by each respondent. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.
