The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) requests approval for revisions to the National
HIV Surveillance System (NHSS) expiring on 02/29/2016. The HIV
Incidence and Case Surveillance Branch, partners with health
departments in the states, D.C., and U.S. dependent areas to report
cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, inclusive of
data across the spectrum of disease from diagnosis to death.
Revisions to this ICR include the addition of annual reporting
hours for completing a Standards Evaluation Report (SER) and an
Annual Performance Report (APR). In addition, modifications to
currently collected data elements and forms including the Adult
Case Report Form (ACRF), Pediatric Case Report Form (PCRF) and the
Perinatal HIV Exposure Reporting (PHER) Form are also
requested.

Program is requesting a
non-substantial change request to the annual performance report
(APR) to align with our new period of funding under a new
cooperative agreement. This new cooperative agreement integrates
funding for HIV surveillance and prevention for health departments
to implement a comprehensive HIV surveillance and prevention
program to prevent new HIV infections and achieve viral suppression
among persons living with HIV. PS 18 1802 requires the recipients
to report annually on progress made during the reporting period
(Annual Performance Report). For PS 18 1802 health departments will
begin reporting their progress using the currently approved
Performance Progress and Monitoring Report (PPMR) form OMB
#0920-1132 expiration (08/31/2019) provided in Attachment 1 for
this request. Using this form will simplify annual progress
reporting for health departments and will be a familiar format for
health departments who may be using this form for annual program
reporting under other CDC cooperative agreements. We anticipate
using the revised version of the form if revised in 2019. Removal
of the line item for the APR in our burden table reduces the
overall burden.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
