Change in Date of Publication of Final HIV Content Guidelines for 
AIDS-Related Materials, Pictorials, Audiovisuals, Questionnaires, 
Survey Instruments, Marketing, Advertising and Web Site Materials, and 
Educational Sessions in CDC Regional, State, Territorial, Local, and 
Community Assistance Programs

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

ACTION: General notice.

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

SUMMARY: On June 16, 2004, CDC published a notice in the Federal 
Register entitled ``Proposed Revision of Interim HIV Content Guidelines 
for AIDS-Related Materials, Pictorials, Audiovisuals, Questionnaires, 
Survey Instruments, Marketing, Advertising, and Web Site Materials, and 
Educational Sessions in CDC Regional, State, Territorial, Local, and 
Community Assistance Programs.'' The purpose of the notice was to 
request public comment on proposed revisions to the Guidelines last 
published in 1992. Also in the notice, CDC stated that it anticipated 
publishing a Final Guidance document within 120 days of the close of 
the public comment period.
    The purpose of this notice is to announce a revised publication 
date of the Final Guidance document. CDC anticipated receiving 
approximately 500 public comments but received nearly 5,000 comments to 
both notices published on June 16, 2004. CDC is working to 
appropriately consider each of the comments it received. Because of the 
increased time that it will take to adequately review the nearly 5,000 
comments, CDC now intends to publish the ``Final HIV Content Guidelines 
for AIDS-related Materials, Pictorials, Audiovisuals, Questionnaires, 
Survey Instruments, Marketing, Advertising and Web Site Materials, and 
Educational Sessions in CDC Regional, State, Territorial, Local, and 
Community Assistance Programs'' by spring, 2005.
    On June 16, 2004, CDC also published another notice in the Federal 
Register entitled ``Interim HIV Content Guidelines for AIDS-Related 
Materials, Pictorials, Audiovisuals, Questionnaires, Survey 
Instruments, Marketing, Advertising, and Web Site Materials, and 
Educational Sessions in CDC School-based Assistance Programs.'' Like 
the notice for Community-based assistance programs, this notice 
requested public comment on the Interim HIV Guidelines for School-based 
assistance programs and stated that CDC anticipated publishing a Final 
Guidance document within 120 days of the close of the public comment 
period. CDC now also intends to publish the Final ``HIV Content 
Guidelines for AIDS-Related Materials, Pictorials, Audiovisuals, 
Questionnaires, Survey Instruments, Marketing, Advertising, and Web 
Site Materials, and Educational Sessions in CDC School-based Assistance 
Programs'' by spring 2005.
