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 Resources and Services Database
of the CDC National Prevention Information Network (NPIN) (OMB Control
No. 0920-0255 Exp. 2/29/2020). The NPIN Resources and Services Database
contains entries on approximately 10,000 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 websites.

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
Resources and Services Database of the National Prevention
Information Network (NPIN) (OMB Control No. 0920-0255, Exp. 02/29/
2020)--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
CDC is requesting a three year approval of Resources and Services
Database of the National Prevention Information Network (NPIN). 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).
The NPIN Resources and Services Database contains entries on
approximately 10,000 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
website. More than 1,400,000 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 website. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
