The data on the MAI Rapid HIV Testing
Clinical Information Form will be used to collect clinical
information that can be used for quality assurance, quality
performance, and product monitoring. The form does not require
patient specific information to be collected from parties
participating in the MAI program. The form is designed to inform
SAMHSA that the HIV Rapid Test Kits are reaching their intended
audience, as many communities have expressed an interest in
acquiring these no cost test kits to assist them in informing and
protecting their citizens. The information that we require, will
also serve to justify the use of Federal funds to benefit the
American Indian/Alaska Native community.
Previously 8,350 burden hours
were estimated in the OMB inventory. CSAT is now requesting 3,192
total burden hours which is a decrease of 5,158 hours in burden
from the earlier estimate. The previous estimate of 50,000
respondents has been modified to reflect a more realistic number of
respondents of 20,000.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
