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 ``Resources and Services Database of the 
National Prevention Information Network (NPIN)'' 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 May 13, 2022 to obtain comments from the 
public and affected agencies. No comments related to the previous 
notice were received. This notice serves to

[[Page 58090]]

allow an additional 30 days for public and affected agency comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (a) 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;
    (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 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct

Proposed Project

    Resources and Services Database of the National Prevention 
Information Network (NPIN) (OMB Control No. 0920-0255, Exp. 01/31/
2023)--Revision--National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually 
Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    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. NCHHSTP established the National 
Prevention Information Network (NPIN) to serve the public and to 
facilitate partnerships and coordination among organizations that 
provide prevention, education, and referral services relevant to its 
mission.
    NPIN serves as the most comprehensive 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. The NPIN Resources and 
Services Database contains entries on approximately 10,700 
organizations. The American public can access the NPIN resources and 
Services database through the NPIN websites. More than 1,600,000 unique 
visitors and more than 3,000,000 page views are recorded annually.
    CDC requests OMB approval to continue information collection for 
the NPIN, with minor changes. New information will be added about self-
testing services and associated fees. If NPIN does not continue this 
information collection and verification project, the potential number 
of resource listings will be significantly reduced, and the accuracy 
and currency of the existing records will be greatly diminished.
    Information will be collected via telephone interview or online 
form. Information collection for a new resource will be collected using 
the NPIN Initial Questionnaire Telephone Script, which serves as a 
guide for the telephone call with NPIN staff. 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. 
The same information is in both modes of data collection, but the 
format of the NPIN online questionnaire was modified to decrease free 
text, which improves the time needed to complete the form. To 
accomplish CDC's goal of continuing efforts to maintain an up-to-date, 
comprehensive database, NPIN plans each year to add up to 800 newly 
identified organizations and verify those organizations currently 
described in the NPIN Resources and Services Database each year. This 
data collection uses no inferential statistical methods. The data 
collected is in textual or anecdotal format and will be used for 
information purposes.
    After new organizations are entered into NPIN, they are asked to 
participate in an annual verification and update process to ensure the 
ongoing accuracy, timeliness, and usefulness of information 
disseminated through NPIN. The estimated burden for participating in 
the verification process is six minutes. Verification may be conducted 
by telephone interview or email.
    CDC requests OMB approval for three years. Participation is 
voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. 
The total estimated annualized burden is 1,164 hours.
