Proposed Project
National HIV Prevention Program
Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&E)
(OMB 0920–0696, Expiration 08/31/
2013)—Revision—National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a 3-year approval
for revision to the previously approved
project.
The purpose of this revision is to
continue collecting standardized HIV
prevention program evaluation data
from health departments and
community-based organizations (CBOs)
who receive federal funds for HIV
prevention activities. Grantees have the
option of key-entering or uploading data
to a CDC-provided Web-based software
application (EvaluationWeb®).
The following changes have occurred
since project 0920–0696 has been
implemented: (1) The previous
reporting system (PEMS) has been
replaced by a more efficient reporting
software. (2) Many data variables that
were previously required or optional but
reported have been deleted in order to
reduce data reporting burden on
grantees. Other variables have been
added or modified to adapt to changes
in HIV prevention and the National
HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan. (3) Reporting

Frm 00024

has been changed from quarterly to
semiannual. (4) The number of grantees
has changed as new FOAs were
awarded.
The evaluation and reporting process
is necessary to ensure that CDC receives
standardized, accurate, thorough
evaluation data from both health
department and CBO grantees. For these
reasons, CDC developed standardized
NHM&E variables through extensive
consultation with representatives from
health departments, CBOs, and national
partners (e.g., The National Alliance of
State and Territorial AIDS Directors,
Urban Coalition of HIV/AIDS
Prevention Services, and National
Minority AIDS Council).
CDC requires CBOs and health
departments who receive federal funds
for HIV prevention to report nonidentifying, client-level and aggregatelevel, standardized evaluation data to:
(1) Accurately determine the extent to
which HIV prevention efforts are carried
out, what types of agencies are
providing services, what resources are
allocated to those services, to whom
services are being provided, and how
these efforts have contributed to a
reduction in HIV transmission; (2)
improve ease of reporting to better meet
these data needs; and (3) be accountable
to stakeholders by informing them of
HIV prevention activities and use of
funds in HIV prevention nationwide.
CDC HIV prevention program grantees
will collect, enter or upload, and report
agency-identifying information, budget
data, intervention information, and
client demographics and behavioral risk
characteristics with an estimate of
200,846 burden hours. Data collection
will include searching existing data
sources, gathering and maintaining data,
document compilation, review of data,

Nationally Notifiable Sexually
Transmitted Disease (STD) Morbidity
Surveillance (OMB No.0920–0819,
Expiration (08/31/2012)—Extension—
Division of STD Prevention (DSTDP),
National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis,
STD and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Because the STD epidemiology in the
United States is changing rapidly, CDC
must continue to monitor disease
indicators that are included in the STD
surveillance currently being
implemented. CDC is proposing to
continue electronic information
collection which includes information
elements that are integrated into the
existing nationally notifiable STDs.
These information elements are beyond
the scope of the OMB-approved
collection called Weekly and Annual
Morbidity and Mortality Reports
(MMWR, OMB #0920–0007). This
ongoing collection provides evidence to
better define STD distribution and
epidemiology in the United States. The
surveillance system modifies several
data elements currently included in the

PO 00000

Frm 00025

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report
(MMWR) collection and add others to
produce a set of sensitive indicators.
This surveillance will continue to
provide the evidence to enhance our
understanding of STDs, develop
intervention strategies, and evaluate the
impact of ongoing control efforts.
CDC works closely with state and
local STD control programs to monitor
and respond to STD outbreaks and
trends in STD-associated risk behavior.
Users of data include, but are not
limited to, congressional offices, state
and local health agencies, health care
providers, and other health-related
groups.
CDC disseminates all STD
surveillance information through the
MMWR series of publications, including
the MMWR, the CDC Surveillance
Summaries, the Recommendations and
Reports, and the annual Summary of
Notifiable Diseases, United States.
Additionally, the Division of STD
Prevention publishes an annual STDspecific surveillance summary and
supplements in hard copy and on the
Internet http://www.cdc.gov/std/Stats/.
CDC will use the findings from this
and other STD surveillance to develop
guidelines, control strategies, and
impact measures that monitor trends in
STDs in the United States.
We expect a total of 57 sites in state,
city, and territory health departments
will be submitting STD morbidity
information to CDC each week.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 989.
