Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects.
Alternatively, to obtain a copy of the
data collection plans and instrument,
call 404–639–5960 and send comments
to Maryam I. Daneshvar, CDC Reports
Clearance Officer, 1600 Clifton Road,
NE., MS–D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30333;
comments may also be sent by e-mail to
[email protected].
Comments are invited on (a) whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have a
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the

plague, smallpox, typhus, or yellow
fever or having been exposed to any
such disease is in the incubation period
thereof, to apply for and receive a
permit from the Surgeon General or his
authorized representative in order to
travel from one State or possession to
another.
Control of disease transmission
within the States is considered to be the
province of state and local health
authorities, with Federal assistance
being sought by those authorities on a
cooperative basis without application of
Federal regulations. The regulations in
42 Part 70 were developed to facilitate
Federal action in the event of large
outbreaks requiring a coordinated effort
involving several states, or in the event
of inadequate local control. While it is
not known whether, or to what extent
situations may arise in which these
regulations would be invoked,
contingency planning for domestic
emergency preparedness is now
commonplace. Should these situations
arise, CDC will use the reporting and
recordkeeping requirements contained
in the regulations to carry out
quarantine responsibilities as required
by law.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of information technology. Written
comments should be received within 60
days of this notice.

Proposed Project
Adult and Pediatric HIV/AIDS
Confidential Case Reports for National
HIV/AIDS Surveillance (OMB No. 0920–
0573 Exp. 2/28/2010)—Revision—

National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of HIV/AIDS
surveillance data collection is to
monitor trends in HIV disease and
describe the characteristics of infected
persons (e.g., demographics, modes of
exposure to HIV, clinical and laboratory
markers of HIV disease, manifestations
of severe HIV disease, and deaths among
persons with HIV/AIDS). HIV/AIDS
surveillance data are widely used by
scientists, researchers, and public health
authorities at all levels to assess the
impact of HIV infection on morbidity
and mortality, to allocate medical care
resources and services and to guide
prevention and disease control
activities.
CDC in collaboration with health
departments in the 50 states, the District
of Columbia, and U.S. dependent areas,
conducts national surveillance for cases
of HIV infection that includes critical
data across the spectrum of HIV disease
from HIV diagnosis to AIDS, the endstage disease caused by infection with
HIV, and death. In addition, this system
provides the essential data to estimate
HIV incidence and monitor patterns in
variant, atypical, and resistant strains of
HIV among infected persons in the
United States. Case report data are
either abstracted from medical records
by health departments or reported from

laboratories, physicians, and other care
providers to health departments who
compile the information and report data
to CDC for inclusion in the national
database. Since 1993, these data have
been maintained and reported through
the HIV/AIDS reporting system (HARS)
software. In 2010, the new enhanced
electronic HIV/AIDS reporting system
(eHARS) will be fully deployed. The
revisions requested include additional
data elements for eHARS that will allow
better tracking of documents and flow of
previously approved currently collected
surveillance data. In addition, we are
requesting approval of a revised data
collection form for enhanced perinatal
surveillance (EPS) including nonsubstantial changes aimed at improving
the format and usability of the EPS
form.
The data CDC collects through the
national HIV surveillance system
provide the sole source of
comprehensive, complete national HIV
statistics collected in a timely and
standardized manner. Continued data
collection will benefit the public by
providing accurate and reliable
information on the extent and
distribution of the HIV epidemic in the
United States to be used to guide local
and national HIV prevention and
control efforts and guide distribution of
resources for HIV treatment and care.
The total estimated annual burden
hours are 51,311.
