Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Send written comments
to CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC or
by fax to (202) 395-5806. Written comments should be received within 30

Proposed Project
Health Professional Application for Training (HPAT)--New --National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC/NCHHSTP is requesting OMB approval to collect data that will be
used to monitor and evaluate performance of CDC funded grantees that
offer Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) and Human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) prevention training, training assistance, and capacity
building assistance to physicians, nurses, disease intervention
specialists, health educators and other public health professionals.
Information collection approval is sought for three years.
CDC/NCHHSTP will use the Health Professional Application for
Training (HPAT) for this data collection. This instrument was
previously approved under OMB clearance 0920-0017 as a
Participant Information Form, but was removed from that information
collection request upon its most recent revision. The HPAT allows CDC
grantees to use a single instrument when partnering with other Health
and Human Services (HHS) funded training programs and does not
duplicate information collection efforts. The HPAT will serve as the
official training application form used for training activities
conducted by the CDC-funded STD/HIV Prevention Training Centers' (PTCs)
and the HIV Capacity Building Assistance (CBAs) grantees who offer
classroom and experiential training, web-based training, clinical
consultation, and capacity building assistance to maintain and enhance
the capacity of health care professionals to control and prevent STDs
and HIV.
The HPAT will also be used to collect information from the training
participants regarding their: (1) Occupations, professions, and
functional roles; (2) principal employment settings; (3) location of
their work settings; and (4) programmatic and population foci of their
work. This data collection provides CDC with information to determine
whether the training grantees are reaching their target audiences in
terms of provider type, the types of organizations in which
participants work, the focus of their work and the population groups
and geographic areas served; the data collection is also used to triage
and assign CBA provider requests.
The 7,400 respondents represent an average of the number of health
professionals trained by the CBA and PTC grantees during the years 2010
and 2011. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
It is estimated that this collection will involve a total of 617
annual burden hours.
