Background and Brief Description
CDC provides guidelines for HIV
testing and diagnosis for the United
States, as well as technical guidance for
its grantees. The purpose of this project
is to assess characteristics of HIV testing
technologies to update these guidance
documents to reflect the latest available
testing technologies, their performance
characteristics, and considerations
regarding their use. Specifically, CDC
will describe behavioral and clinical
characteristics of persons with early
infection to help HIV test providers
(including CDC grantees) choose which
HIV tests to use, and target tests
appropriately to persons at different
levels of risk. This information will be
disseminated primarily through
guidance documents and articles in
peer-reviewed journals.
The primary study population will be
persons at high risk for or diagnosed
with HIV infection, many of whom will
be men who have sex with men (MSM)
because the majority of new HIV
infections occur each year among this
population. The goals of the project are
to: (1) Characterize the performance of
new HIV tests for detecting established
and early HIV infection at the point of
care, relative to each other and to
currently used gold standard, non-POC
tests, and (2) identify behavioral and
clinical predictors of early HIV
infection.
Project DETECT will enroll 1,667
persons annually at the primary study
site clinic in Seattle, and an additional
200 persons will be enrolled from other
clinics in the greater Seattle area. The
study will be conducted in two phases.

with early HIV infection as well as
access to HIV care and treatment since
the last Phase 2 visit. When all tests
become concordant (i.e., at the last
Phase 2 visit) participants will complete
the Phase 2 behavioral survey to
identify any behavioral changes during
follow-up. Of the 50 Phase 2
participants; it is estimated that no more
than 26, annually, will have early HIV
infection.
All data for the proposed information
collection will be collected via an
electronic Computer Assisted SelfInterview (CASI) survey. Participants
will complete the surveys on an
encrypted computer, with the exception
of the Phase 2 Symptom and Care
survey, which will be administered by
a research assistant and then
electronically entered into the CASI
system. Data to be collected via CASI
include questions on sociodemographic
characteristics, medical care, HIV
testing, pre-exposure prophylaxis,
antiretroviral treatment, sexually
transmitted diseases (STD) history,
symptoms of early HIV infection,
substance use and sexual behavior.
Data from the surveys will be merged
with HIV test results and relevant
clinical data using the unique
identification (ID) number. Data will be
stored on a secure server managed by
the University of Washington
Department of Medicine Information
Technology (IT) Services.
The participation of respondents is
voluntary. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annual burden hours for
the proposed project are 2,110 hours.

Phase 1: After a clinic client consents
to participate, he/she will be assigned a
unique participant ID and will then
undergo testing with the seven new HIV
tests under study. While awaiting test
results, participants will undergo
additional specimen collections and
complete the Phase 1 Enrollment
Survey.
Phase 2: All Phase 1 participants
whose results on the seven tests under
investigation are not in agreement with
one another (‘‘discordant’’) will be
considered to have a potential early HIV
infection. Nucleic amplification testing
that detects viral nucleic acids will be
conducted to confirm an HIV diagnosis
and rule out false positives. Study
investigators expect that each year, 50
participants with discordant test results
will be invited to participate in serial
follow-up specimen collections to assess
the time point at which all HIV test
results resolve and become concordant
positive (indicating enrollment during
early infection) or concordant negative
(indicating one or more false-positive
test results in Phase 1).
The follow-up schedule will consist
of up to nine visits scheduled at regular
intervals over a 70-day period. At each
follow-up visit, participants will be
tested with the new HIV tests and
additional oral fluid and blood
specimens will also be collected for
storage and use in future HIV test
evaluations at CDC. Participants will be
followed up only to the point at which
all their test results become concordant.
At each time point, participants will be
asked to complete the Phase 2 HIV
Symptom and Care survey that collects
information on symptoms associated

Jkt 244001

Background: CDC is dedicated to
protecting health and promoting quality
of life through the prevention and
control of disease, injury, and disability.
NIOSH, one of CDC’s Centers, Institutes,
and Offices, was established by the
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970. NIOSH plans, directs, and
coordinates a national program to
develop and establish recommended
occupational safety and health
standards; conduct research and
training; provide technical assistance;
and perform related activities to assure
safe and healthful working conditions
for every working person in the United
States.
Currently, three NIOSH research
facilities—the Robert A. Taft Campus,
Taft North Campus, and the Alice
Hamilton Laboratory Campus—are
located in Cincinnati, Ohio. These
facilities no longer meet the research
needs required to support occupational
safety and health in the modern
workplace. The facilities’ deficiencies
adversely affect NIOSH’s ability to
conduct occupational safety and health
research in Cincinnati. It is not possible
to renovate the facilities located on the
three campuses to meet current
standards and requirements.
Additionally, the current distribution of
NIOSH activities across separate
campuses in Cincinnati results in
inefficiencies in scientific collaboration
and the duplication of operational
support activities. To address these
issues, CDC proposed to relocate and
consolidate its Cincinnati-based
functions and personnel (approximately
550 employees) currently housed at the
three existing campuses to a new,
consolidated campus in Cincinnati.
Potential locations for the new
campus were identified through a
comprehensive site selection process
conducted by GSA on behalf of CDC. In
June 2016, GSA issued a Request for
Expressions of Interest (REOI) seeking
potential sites capable of
accommodating the proposed new
campus. In response to the REOI, GSA
received seven expressions of interest.
Following an assessment of each site,
GSA found that only one site qualified
for further consideration (the Site). The
Site encompasses all land between
Martin Luther King Drive East to the
south, Harvey Avenue to the west,
Ridgeway Avenue to the north, and
Reading Road to the east in Cincinnati,
Ohio.
Under NEPA, as implemented by CEQ
Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508),
Federal agencies are required to
evaluate the environmental effects of
their proposed actions and a range of

reasonable alternatives to the proposed
action before making a decision. In
compliance with NEPA, CDC published
a Draft EIS for the proposed site
acquisition and campus consolidation
on February 9, 2018 and a Final EIS on
July 20, 2018. The Draft EIS was
available for public review and
comment for 45 days. All comments
received were considered when
preparing the Final EIS. The Draft and
Final EIS analyzed two alternatives: the
Proposed Action Alternative
(acquisition of the Site and construction
of a new, consolidated CDC/NIOSH
campus) and the No Action Alternative
(continued use of the existing campuses
for the foreseeable future). The Final EIS
identified the Proposed Action
Alternative as CDC’s Preferred
Alternative.
After carefully considering the Final
EIS and all comments received, CDC has
made the decision to implement the
Proposed Action Alternative. CDC’s
rationale for this decision is detailed in
the ROD. The ROD incorporates all the
mitigation and minimization measures
described in the Final EIS.
