system, for the planning of health
services, improving medical education,
determining health care work force
needs, and assessing the health status of
the population.
NHAMCS data collection will be
automated. Induction interviews and
patient record information will be
entered on secure laptops. This effort
will greatly reduce paperwork and will
increase efficiency in data processing.
Data collection activities, including
questions asked, will be similar to
current procedures.
In 2012, NHAMCS will sample an
additional 60 hospitals in order to
obtain state-based estimates on
emergency department characteristics in
five states. This additional sample is
part of an effort sponsored by the
Department of Health and Human

Services’ Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Preparedness and
Response (ASPR), to better monitor the
role of EDs and the care that they
provide as health care reform in the
United States proceeds. State-based
estimates will provide both baseline and
ongoing information about the status of
EDs and ED care as policy changes are
implemented.
NHAMCS will also conduct an
asthma management supplement, a
lookback module, and a pretest of
colorectal cancer screening questions.
The asthma supplement will collect
information on the clinical decisions
providers make when confronted with a
patient suffering from asthma. The
lookback module will collect additional
information from the 12 month period
prior to a sampled OPD visit, which will

identify risk factors and clinical
management of patients with conditions
that put them at high risk for heart
disease and stroke. Finally, a small
pretest in hospital-based ASLs and
freestanding ASCs will assess the
feasibility of obtaining information on
colorectal cancer screening during
ambulatory surgery visits where a
colonoscopy is performed.
Users of NHAMCS data include, but
are not limited to, congressional offices,
Federal agencies, state and local
governments, schools of public health,
colleges and universities, private
industry, nonprofit foundations,
professional associations, clinicians,
researchers, administrators, and health
planners. There are no costs to the
respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project
Web-Based HIV Behavioral Survey
Among Men Who Have Sex With Men—
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 purpose of the proposed
information collection is to monitor
behaviors related to Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection
among men who have sex with men
(MSM), one of the groups at highest risk
for acquiring HIV infection in the
United States. Objectives of the
proposed web-based behavioral survey
of internet-using MSM are to (a)
Describe the prevalence of and trends in

risk behaviors; (b) describe the
prevalence of and trends in HIV testing;
(c) describe the prevalence of and trends
in use of HIV prevention services; and
(d) identify met and unmet needs for
HIV prevention services. This
information will be used to monitor
progress toward the National HIV/AIDS
Strategy objectives, and will be shared
with health departments, community
based organizations, community
planning groups and other stakeholders
to improve prevention services.
This project also addresses the goals
of CDC’s HIV prevention strategic plan,
specifically the goal of strengthening the
national capacity to monitor the HIV
epidemic to better direct and evaluate
prevention efforts.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention request approval for data
collection for a period of 3 years. Data
will be collected through anonymous
online surveys completed by MSM in 56

U.S. jurisdictions (all 50 U.S. states, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,
American Samoa, Guam, the Northern
Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands), with oversampling in 21
metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs)
with high AIDS prevalence.
Internet-using MSM will be recruited
through a direct marketing method that
utilizes selective placement of banner
advertisements on non-profit and
privately owned websites. Individuals
interested in learning more about the
survey will click on the banner ad and
will be directed to a one-minute
screening interview to determine
eligibility for participation in a
behavioral assessment with an
estimated duration of 14 minutes. The
data from the assessment will provide
estimates of behavior related to the risk
of HIV and other sexually transmitted
diseases, history of HIV testing, and use
of HIV prevention services. No other

federal agency collects this type of
information nationally from MSM.
These data are expected to have
substantial impact on prevention
program development and monitoring at
the local, state, and national levels.
CDC estimates that the proposed webbased behavioral assessment will
involve, per year in the 56 U.S.
jurisdictions and 21 oversampled MSAs,
eligibility screening of 309,090 persons.
Of these, an estimated 139,090 either
will not be interested in completing the
behavioral assessment or will be
ineligible after completing the screener
and an estimated 170,000 eligible
persons will participate in the
behavioral assessment, resulting in a
total of 510,000 eligible survey
respondents and 417,270 ineligible
screened persons during a 3-year period.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary and there is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.

Code 9933701.
Background: The Advisory Board was
established under the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation Program
Act of 2000 to advise the President on a
variety of policy and technical functions
required to implement and effectively
manage the new compensation program. Key
functions of the Advisory Board include
providing advice on the development of
probability of causation guidelines that have
been promulgated by the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) as a final
rule; advice on methods of dose
reconstruction, which have also been
promulgated by HHS as a final rule; advice
on the scientific validity and quality of dose
estimation and reconstruction efforts being
performed for purposes of the compensation
program; and advice on petitions to add
classes of workers to the Special Exposure
Cohort (SEC).
In December 2000, the President delegated
responsibility for funding, staffing, and
operating the Advisory Board to HHS, which
subsequently delegated this authority to CDC.
NIOSH implements this responsibility for
CDC. The charter was issued on August 3,

2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, and
will expire on August 3, 2011.
Purpose: The Advisory Board is charged
with (a) Providing advice to the Secretary,
HHS, on the development of guidelines
under Executive Order 13179; (b) providing
advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the
scientific validity and quality of dose
reconstruction efforts performed for this
program; and (c) upon request by the
Secretary, HHS, advise the Secretary on
whether there is a class of employees at any
Department of Energy facility who were
exposed to radiation but for whom it is not
feasible to estimate their radiation dose, and
on whether there is reasonable likelihood
that such radiation doses may have
endangered the health of members of this
class. The Subcommittee for Dose
Reconstruction Reviews was established to
aid the Advisory Board in carrying out its
duty to advise the Secretary, HHS, on dose
reconstruction.
Matters to be Discussed: The agenda for the
Subcommittee meeting includes: Selection of
individual radiation dose reconstruction
cases to be considered for review by the
Subcommittee to evaluate the
implementation of the Program Evaluation
Report: OCAS–PER–012—Evaluation of
Highly Insoluble Plutonium Compounds;
pre-selection of new radiation dose
reconstruction cases for review (set 15);
discussion of dose reconstruction cases
