Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 24, 2007 / Notices

Since certain program level data are
already collected as part of NPCR
Annual Program Evaluation Instrument
(OMB i#0920–0706), the additional
burden on grantees will be modest.

for their time to complete the
questionnaire. All respondents will be
using the same cost assessment tool.
The only cost to the respondent is their
time.

Once the infrastructure is established to
capture the cost data from the NPCR
programs, the response burden is
expected to be reduced even further.
There are no costs to respondents except

technology. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this

Transgender HIV Behavioral Survey
(THBS)—New—National Center for HIV,
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this data collection is
to pilot a survey that will be used to
monitor behaviors related to Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection
among transgender persons who are
assigned a male sex at birth. The goal of
the survey will be to obtain data from
samples of transgender persons to (a)
describe the prevalence in risk
behaviors; (b) describe the prevalence of
HIV testing and HIV infection; (c)
describe the prevalence of the use of
HIV prevention services; (d) identify
met and unmet needs for HIV
prevention services in order to inform
health departments, community based
organizations, community planning
groups and other stakeholders. The
objectives of the pilot will be to assess
the content of the questionnaire as well
as the efficiency and feasibility of the
methods for sampling and recruiting
transgender persons. This project
addresses the goals of CDC’s HIV
Prevention Strategic Plan, specifically
the goal of strengthening the national
capacity to monitor the HIV epidemic to

better direct and evaluate prevention
efforts.
Data will be collected through inperson and computer-assisted self
interviews conducted in 4 Metropolitan
Statistical Areas (MSA) throughout the
United States. The MSA chosen will be
among those currently participating in
the National HIV Behavioral
Surveillance system (see Federal
Registry dated January 19, 2007: Vol. 72,
No. 12, pages 2529–2530). A brief inperson screening interview will be used
to determine eligibility for participation
in the full survey. Data for the full
survey will be collected using
computer-assisted self interviews.
Besides determining the content of the
final survey instrument and the
sampling methods, the data from the
full survey will provide estimates of
behavior related to the risk of HIV and
other sexually transmitted diseases,
prior testing for HIV, and use of HIV
prevention services. No other federal
agency systematically collects this type
of information from transgender persons
at risk for HIV infection. This data will
have substantial impact on prevention
program development and monitoring at
the local, state, and national levels.
CDC will request a 2-year clearance
for this information collection. CDC
estimates that, in each year, THBS will
involve eligibility screening of a total of
240 persons and will collect survey
information from 200 eligible
respondents. Thus, over the two year
period 480 persons are estimated to
complete the screener and 400 eligible
respondents to complete the survey.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary and there is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.

following summary of proposed
collections for public comment.
Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any
of the following subjects: (1) The
necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper
performance of the Agency’s function;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension without change of a
currently approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Transmittal and
Notice of Approval of State Plan
Material and Supporting Regulations in
42 CFR 430.10–430.20 and 440.167;
Use: The CMS–179 is used by State
agencies to transmit State plan material
to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) for approval prior to
amending their State plan. The State
plan is the method in which States
inform staff of State policies, standards,
procedures and instructions. The CMS–
179 is currently used by State agencies
administering the Medicaid program
and CMS regional offices (RO). State
agencies use the form to submit State
plan amendments (SPAs) (including
supporting documentation) to the CMS
RO for review and approval prior to
amending their plan in accordance with
42 CFR 430.10–430.20. The CMS–179
includes instructions for completing the
form. The inclusion of instructions is to
assist State agencies in completing the
form, thereby ensuring a more uniform
and timely plan amendment approval
process. The CMS–179 is the only
source available to State agencies for
submittal/approval of SPAs. This plan
amendment approval process is
necessary to ensure the State plan
continues to meet statutory and
regulatory requirements and thereby
ensure the State’s eligibility for Federal
financial participation. CMS will use
