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 Recommendations'' notice on
November 21, 2025, to obtain comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC received one comment 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.
[[Page 32975]]
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. 1/31/2028)--Revision--National Center
for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and
Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC requests a revision to the National HIV Prevention Program
Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&E) information collection, currently
approved under OMB Control No. 0920-0696. Approval of this Revision
will allow collection of standardized HIV prevention program evaluation
data from health departments (HDs) and community-based organizations
(CBOs) who receive federal funds for HIV prevention activities. This
evaluation and reporting process ensures that CDC receives consistent
data from both HD and CBO grantees. To develop the initial standardized
NHM&E data variables, CDC consulted extensively with representatives
from HDs, CBOs, and national partners including The National Alliance
of State and Territorial AIDS Directors and Urban Coalition of HIV/AIDS
Prevention Services.
Health departments and CBOs that receive federal HIV prevention
funds must report non-identifying, standardized evaluation data to CDC.
These data are necessary to: (1) accurately assess the extent of HIV
prevention efforts, identify the types of agencies providing services,
evaluate the resources allocated to those services, determine the
populations being served, and understand how these efforts have
contributed to a reduction in HIV transmission; and (2) ensure
accountability to stakeholders by informing them about HIV prevention
activities and the use of funds for HIV prevention nationwide. CDC HIV
prevention program grantees will collect, enter or upload, and report
agency-identifying information, intervention information, 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 uploading
to an approved CDC data system.
The Revision of the currently approved ICR is intended to
accommodate the new reporting requirements for CDC's newest prevention
program cooperative agreement (CDC-RFA-PS24-0047) and includes the
following changes and adjustments: (1) additions and updates to Race
and Ethnicity data collection, in alignment with OMB's SPD-15
directives; (2) deletion and modification of variables in alignment
with Executive Orders; (3) deletion and modification of PrEP-related
variables in alignment with screening and eligibility recommendation
changes; (4) inclusion of antiretroviral therapy, post-exposure
prophylaxis, Mpox, tuberculosis, Hepatitis B, and modification of
response options for Hepatitis C, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis
testing, treatment, and referral variables; (5) modification of
variables and response options for Essential Support Services
screening, determination, referral, and provision variables; and (6)
addition of new jurisdiction-level aggregate and qualitative variables.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 324,386 burden hours.
The increase in burden hours is mostly due to a re-evaluation of the
time required for funded CBOs to conduct data related activities. There
are no additional costs to respondents other than their time to
participate.
