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 ``National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring
and Evaluation (NHM&E)'' to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review and approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data
Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
[[Page 84351]]
Recommendations'' notice on February 5, 2024, 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 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)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
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) Extension to 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[supreg]). 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, client-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.
This Extension includes no changes to the data variables previously
approved and no change in burden. 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. Data collection 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. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated
204,498 annual burden hours. There are no additional costs to
respondents other than their time.
