Issuing agencies

Abstract

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 proposed information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Assessing Capacity to Expand Hepatitis C Testing and Treatment in United States Carceral Systems. This data collection proposes to estimate point prevalence of hepatitis C virus in carceral settings, outline patient characteristics, clinical management, and understand key operational and programmatic successes and challenges to testing and treatment of hepatitis C virus, as well as to support timely analysis and utilize findings to advance the elimination of viral hepatitis in the United States.
