Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``Development of CDC's Let's Stop HIV
Together Social Marketing Campaign for Consumers'' to the Office of
Management and budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously
published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations'' notice on March 12, 2021 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive comments related to
the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days
for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who
[[Page 40049]]
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
submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of

information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management

Proposed Project
Development of CDC's Let's Stop HIV Together Social Marketing
Campaign for Consumers--Reinstatement--National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
To address the HIV epidemic in the U.S., the Department of Health
and Human Services launched Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for
America, which is a cross-agency initiative aiming to reduce new HIV
infections in the U.S. by 90% by 2030. CDC's Let's Stop HIV Together
campaign (formerly known as Act Against AIDS) is part of the national
Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative and includes resources aimed at
reducing HIV stigma and promoting testing, prevention, and treatment
across the HIV care continuum.
Within this context, CDC's Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP)
has and will continue implementing various communication initiatives to
increase HIV awareness among the general public, reduce new HIV
infections among disproportionately impacted populations, and improve
health outcomes for people living with HIV/AIDS in the US and its
territories. Specifically, the campaigns target consumers aged 18 to 64
years old and includes the following audiences: (1) General public; (2)
Men who have sex with men; (3) Blacks/African Americans; (4) Hispanics/
Latinos; (5) Transgender individuals; (6) people who inject drugs; and
(7) people with HIV (PWH).
The rounds of data collection include exploratory, message testing,
concept testing, and materials testing. Information collected by DHAP
will be used to assess consumers' informational needs about HIV
testing, prevention, and treatment and pre-test campaign related
messages, concepts, and materials and evaluate the extent to which the
communication initiatives are reaching the target audiences and
providing them with trusted HIV-related information. Data collections
will include in-depth interviews, focus groups, brief surveys, and
intercept interviews.
The data gathered under this request will be summarized in reports
prepared for CDC by its contractor, such as quarterly and annual
reports and topline reports that summarize results from each data
collection. It is possible that data from this project will be
published in peer-reviewed manuscripts or presented at conferences; the
manuscripts and conference presentations may appear on the internet.
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1,856.
Participation by respondents is voluntary, and there is no cost to
participants other than their time.
