Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled Medical Monitoring Project Facility Survey to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC 
previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public 
Comment and Recommendations'' notice on June 2, 2020 to obtain comments 
from the public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment related 
to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 
days for public and affected agency comments.

necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    (d) 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 submission of responses; and
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to

Proposed Project

    Medical Monitoring Project Facility Survey--New--National Center 
for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requests a one year 
approval for a new information collection, ``Medical Monitoring Project 
(MMP) Facility Survey.'' The primary objective of the MMP Facility 
Survey will be to conduct a one-time survey of the characteristics of 
HIV care facilities in order to collect information on the nation's 
existing HIV care infrastructure and the capacity of facilities to 
implement the strategies of the U.S. Ending the HIV Epidemic federal 
initiative. CDC will also use the findings to guide national and local 
HIV prevention and care efforts and identify gaps as part of the 
Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention's Strategic Plan. Specifically, 
information is needed about the capacity of care facilities to deliver 
care and prevention services, provide HIV prevention messaging, partner 
with public health programs, offer services for HIV negative partners 
of HIV positive persons, engage and retain patients, offer PrEP, 
medication-assisted therapy (MAT), and substance use

treatment/referrals, etc. Information on facility location, key 
populations served, and workforce capacity is also needed to identify 
areas in need of expanded support to deliver these services. There is 
no other data source that comprehensively collects this information.
    The participation of respondents is voluntary. There is no cost to 
the respondents other than their time. Through their participation, 
respondents will help to improve programs to prevent HIV infection as 
well as services for those who already have HIV. The total estimated 
annualized burden is 618 hours.
