community-based organizations (CBOs)
who receive federal funds for HIV
prevention activities.

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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. 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 submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project
National HIV Prevention Program
Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&E)
(OMB Control No. 0920–0696, Exp. 10/
31/2021)—Revision—National Center
for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and
TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC seeks to request a three-year
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval to revise the previously
approved project and continue the
collection of standardized HIV
prevention program evaluation data
from health departments and
community-based organizations (CBOs)
who receive federal funds for HIV
prevention activities. Health department
grantees have the options to key-enter or
upload data to a CDC-provided web-
based software application
(EvaluationWeb
®
). CBO grantees may
only key-enter data to the CDC-provided
web-based software application.
This revision includes changes to the
data variables to adjust to the different
monitoring and evaluation needs of new
funding announcements without a
substantial change in burden.
The evaluation and reporting process
is necessary to ensure that CDC receives
standardized, accurate, thorough
evaluation data from both health
department and CBO grantees. For these
reasons, CDC developed standardized
NHM&E variables through extensive
consultation with representatives from
health departments, CBOs, and national
partners (e.g., The National Alliance of
State and Territorial AIDS Directors and
Urban Coalition of HIV/AIDS
Prevention Services).
CDC requires CBOs and health
departments who receive federal funds
for HIV prevention to report
nonidentifying, client-level and
aggregate level, standardized evaluation
data to: (1) Accurately determine the
extent to which HIV prevention efforts
are carried out, what types of agencies
are providing services, what resources
are allocated to those services, to whom
services are being provided, and how
these efforts have contributed to a
reduction in HIV transmission; (2)
improve ease of reporting to better meet
these data needs; and (3) be accountable
to stakeholders by informing them of
HIV prevention activities and use of
funds in HIV prevention nationwide.
CDC HIV prevention program grantees
will collect, enter or upload, and report
agency-identifying information, budget
data, intervention information, and
client demographics and behavioral risk
characteristics with an estimate of
204,498 burden hours, representing no
change from the previously approved,
204,498 burden hours. Data collection
will include searching existing data
sources, gathering and maintaining data,
document compilation, review of data,
and data entry or upload into the web-
based system. There are no additional
costs to respondents other than their
time.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Awards Unsolicited Proposal; Catalog
of Federal Domestic Assistance
(CFDA) Number: 93.137 and 93.129
AGENCY
: Office of Minority Health
(OMH) and Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Health, Department of
Health and Human Services.
ACTION
: Notice of award of an
unsolicited request for funding to be
awarded as a single project through two
cooperative agreement awards to the
American Heart Association (AHA),
Dallas, Texas.
SUMMARY
: OMH announces the award of
a single-source award in response to an
unsolicited proposal from the American
Heart Association, Dallas, Texas. The
proposal submitted was not solicited
either formally or informally by any
federal government official. The award
is comprised of two cooperative
agreements administered by OMH in
collaboration with HRSA.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
: Paul
Rodriguez at paul.rodriguez@hhs.gov or
by telephone at 240–453–8208.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Recipient: American Heart
Association, Dallas, Texas.
Purpose of the Award: The Office of
Minority Health (OMH) will award a
cooperative agreement to AHA to
improve COVID-related health outcomes
for highly impacted racial and ethnic
minorities by addressing hypertension
as a key risk factor. In addition, OMH
will award a cooperative agreement to
AHA, on behalf of the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA), to
provide technical assistance to HRSA-
funded health centers to increase
provider and clinician engagement in
implementing evidence-based practices
(e.g., advanced self-measured blood
pressure technology) to increase the
number of adult patients with
controlled hypertension and reduce the
potential risk of COVID-related health
outcomes. The two cooperative
agreements will support a single
national project that is expected to
identify promising approaches/best
practices that combine new blood
pressure measurement technology,
lifestyle/behavioral modifications and
locally targeted media campaigns to
address uncontrolled, including
undiagnosed, high blood pressure in
racial and ethnic minority, American
Indian/Alaska Native and other
vulnerable populations, given the
association of hypertension with worse
COVID–19 health outcomes.
The project is expected to support
training and technical assistance to
support HRSA-funded health centers’
implementation of evidence-based
interventions that combine remote
blood pressure monitoring technology to
reduce disparities in uncontrolled and
undiagnosed high blood pressure among
medically underserved communities
