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.
