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 OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

Proposed Project

    Resources and Services Database of the CDC National Prevention 
Information Network (OMB Control No. 0920-0255, exp. 12/31/2016)-- 
Extension--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

    NCHHSTP has the primary responsibility within the CDC and the U.S. 
Public Health Service for the prevention and control of HIV infection, 
viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and tuberculosis 
(TB), as well as for community-based HIV prevention activities, 
syphilis, and TB elimination programs. NPIN serves as the U.S. 
reference, referral, and distribution service for information on HIV/
AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB, supporting NCHHSTP's mission to 
link Americans to prevention, education, and care services. NPIN is a 
critical member of the network of government agencies, community 
organizations, businesses, health professionals, educators, and human 
services providers that educate the American public about the grave 
threat to public health posed by HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and 
TB, and provides services for persons infected with human 
immunodeficiency virus (HIV). NPIN services are designed to facilitate 
program collaboration in sharing information, resources,

[[Page 19608]]

published materials, research, and trends among the four diseases.
    The NPIN Resources and Services Database contains entries on 
approximately 9,000 organizations and is the most comprehensive listing 
of HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STD, and TB resources and services 
available throughout the country. The American public can also access 
the NPIN Resources and Services database through the NPIN Web site. 
More than 1,000,000 unique visitors and more than 3,000,000 page views 
are recorded annually.
    To accomplish CDC's goal of continuing efforts to maintain an up-
to-date, comprehensive database, NPIN plans each year to add up to 400 
newly identified organizations and to verify those organizations 
currently described in the NPIN Resources and Services Database each 
year. Organizations with access to the Internet will be given the 
option to complete and submit an electronic version of the 
questionnaire by visiting the NPIN Web site. Methods to be used to 
collect the information include online, telephone and email survey 
questionnaires to collect information from representatives of the 
organizations that provide covered services.
    The respondent population includes Registered Nurses, Social and 
Community Service Managers, Health Educators, Social and Human Service 
Assistants working within NPIN member organizations that provide HIV/
AIDS, viral hepatitis, STD, and TB prevention, education, testing, and 
healthcare services.
    This data collection uses no inferential statistical methods. The 
data collected is in textual or anecdotal format and will be used for 
information purposes.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
