Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice with comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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 and/or 
continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed 
information collection project titled National HIV Prevention Program 
Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&E), which collects standardized HIV 
prevention program evaluation data from health departments and 
community-based organizations (CBOs) who receive federal funds for HIV 
prevention activities.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before June 22, 2018.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2018-
0035 by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments.
     Mail: Leroy A. Richardson, Information Collection Review 
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road 
NE, MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments 
to Regulations.gov.
    Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking 
portal (regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the address listed above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the 
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan 
and instruments, contact Leroy A. Richardson, Information Collection 
Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton

[email protected].

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 the OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
    1. 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;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    4. 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 
submissions of responses.
    5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project

    National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&E) 
(OMB Control Number 0920-0696, Expiration Date 02/28/2019)--Revision--
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) approval to revise the previously approved project and 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.
    This revision includes changes to the data variables to adjust to 
the different monitoring and evaluation needs of new funding 
announcements without a substantial change in burden.
    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 non-identifying, 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

[[Page 17663]]

HIV prevention activities and use of funds in HIV prevention 
nationwide.
    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 with an estimate of 207,186 burden hours, an increase 
from the previously approved, 206,226 burden hours. 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.
    There are no additional costs to respondents other than their time.
