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:
[[Page 7718]]
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;
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
National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&E)
(OMB Control No. 0920-0696, Exp. 10/31/2024)--Extension--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 extend 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.
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, HIV test-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 estimated annualized burden of 190,294 hours.
Data collection activities 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 costs to respondents other than their time.
