Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part
of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the
utility of government information, invites the general public and other
federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a continuing information
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled Medical Monitoring Project (MMP). The purpose of this data
collection is to guide national and local HIV-related service
organization and delivery, and monitor receipt of HIV treatment and
prevention services and clinical outcomes.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before June 23, 2023.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2023-
0026 by either of the following methods:
<bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow
the instructions for submitting comments.
<bullet> Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road
NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments

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;
[[Page 24800]]
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) (OMB Control No. 0920-0740, Exp.
5/31/2024)--Revision--National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD,
and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of
HIV Prevention (DHP) requests a revision of the currently approved
Information Collection Request: Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) which
expires 5/31/2024. This data collection addresses the need for national
estimates of access to, and utilization of HIV-related medical care and
services, the quality of HIV-related ambulatory care, and HIV-related
behaviors and clinical outcomes. For the proposed project, the same
data collection methods will be used as for the currently approved
project. Data would be collected from a probability sample of HIV-
diagnosed adults in the U.S. who consent to an interview and
abstraction of their medical records. As for the currently approved
project, deidentified information would also be extracted from HIV case
surveillance records for a dataset (referred to as the minimum
dataset), which is used to assess non-response bias, for quality
control, to improve the ability of MMP to monitor ongoing care and
treatment of people with HIV, and to make inferences from the MMP
sample to persons with diagnosed HIV nationally. No other Federal
agency collects such nationally representative population-based
information from adults with diagnosed HIV. The data are expected to
have significant implications for policy, program development, and
resource allocation at the state/local and national levels. The changes
proposed in this request update the data collection system to meet
prevailing information needs and enhance the value of MMP data, while
remaining within the scope of the currently approved project purpose.
The burden hours of the project remain the same as in the previously
approved project. Changes made, that did not affect the burden, are
listed below:
<bullet> Revisions to the interview questionnaire were made to
improve coherence, boost the efficiency of the data collection, and
increase the relevance and value of the information. These changes did
not affect the average burden per response.
<bullet> Revisions to the medical record abstraction data elements
were made to streamline the information collected and add important
questions related to M-Pox vaccination. Because the medical records are
abstracted by MMP staff, these changes do not affect the burden of the
project.
This proposed data collection would supplement the National HIV
Surveillance System (NHSS, OMB Control No. 0920-0573, Exp. 02/28/2026)
in 23 selected state and local health departments, which collect
information on persons diagnosed with, living with, and dying from HIV
infection and AIDS. The participation of respondents is voluntary.
There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. Total
estimated annual burden requested is 5,707 hours.
