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 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.
