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 ``Resources and Services Database of the
National Prevention Information Network (NPIN)'' 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 May 13, 2022 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. No comments related to the previous
notice were received. This notice serves to
[[Page 58090]]
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 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
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a> Find this particular
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
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)

Proposed Project
Resources and Services Database of the National Prevention
Information Network (NPIN) (OMB Control No. 0920-0255, Exp. 01/31/
2023)--Revision--National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually
Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NCHHSTP has the primary responsibility within the CDC and the U.S.
Public Health Service for the prevention and control of HIV infection,
viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and tuberculosis
(TB), as well as for community-based HIV prevention activities,
syphilis, and TB elimination programs. NCHHSTP established the National
Prevention Information Network (NPIN) to serve the public and to
facilitate partnerships and coordination among organizations that
provide prevention, education, and referral services relevant to its
mission.
NPIN serves as the most comprehensive U.S. reference, referral, and
distribution service for information on HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis,
STDs, and TB, supporting NCHHSTP's mission to link Americans to
prevention, education, and care services. The NPIN Resources and
Services Database contains entries on approximately 10,700
organizations. The American public can access the NPIN resources and
Services database through the NPIN websites. More than 1,600,000 unique
visitors and more than 3,000,000 page views are recorded annually.
CDC requests OMB approval to continue information collection for
the NPIN, with minor changes. New information will be added about self-
testing services and associated fees. If NPIN does not continue this
information collection and verification project, the potential number
of resource listings will be significantly reduced, and the accuracy
and currency of the existing records will be greatly diminished.
Information will be collected via telephone interview or online
form. Information collection for a new resource will be collected using
the NPIN Initial Questionnaire Telephone Script, which serves as a
guide for the telephone call with NPIN staff. Organizations with access
to the internet will be given the option to complete and submit an
electronic version of the questionnaire by visiting the NPIN website.
The same information is in both modes of data collection, but the
format of the NPIN online questionnaire was modified to decrease free
text, which improves the time needed to complete the form. To
accomplish CDC's goal of continuing efforts to maintain an up-to-date,
comprehensive database, NPIN plans each year to add up to 800 newly
identified organizations and verify those organizations currently
described in the NPIN Resources and Services Database each year. This
data collection uses no inferential statistical methods. The data
collected is in textual or anecdotal format and will be used for
information purposes.
After new organizations are entered into NPIN, they are asked to
participate in an annual verification and update process to ensure the
ongoing accuracy, timeliness, and usefulness of information
disseminated through NPIN. The estimated burden for participating in
the verification process is six minutes. Verification may be conducted
by telephone interview or email.
CDC requests OMB approval for three years. Participation is
voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time.
The total estimated annualized burden is 1,164 hours.
