Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:

The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on a proposed information
collection project titled Assessing
Capacity to Expand Hepatitis C Testing
and Treatment in United States Carceral
Systems. This data collection proposes
to estimate point prevalence of hepatitis
C virus in carceral settings, outline
patient characteristics, clinical
management, and understand key
operational and programmatic successes
and challenges to testing and treatment
of hepatitis C virus, as well as to
support timely analysis and utilize
findings to advance the elimination of
viral hepatitis in the United States.

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To

comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.

Background and Brief Description
Carceral settings pose a unique
challenge to hepatitis C elimination in
that data, as it relates to hepatitis C
virus testing and treatment, is not
readily available for analysis to
understand the burden of disease within
this environment. To our knowledge,
CDC does not have a repository of data
specifically directed towards hepatitis C
within State Department of Corrections
(DOC) or large jails. This survey

logic to reduce the number of questions
asked to each respondent if the question
does not apply. Participating
institutions will have a set-time period,
to complete the survey. This survey will
be self-administered which may take up
to 30 minutes to complete using an
electronic platform. If preferred, there
will be an option to complete an
interviewer-administered survey via
telephone or videoconferencing.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 60 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate.

program planning and evaluation of
prevention programs that aim to reduce
new viral hepatitis infections, reduce
viral hepatitis-related morbidity and
mortality and reduce viral hepatitisrelated disparities. The data collected
will establish a system for ongoing
program evaluation and improvement
and allows for data-driven resource
allocation to areas of greatest need.
Invitations will be sent to 101 State and
Local DOCs, to include the District of
Columbia. The request to complete this
anonymous electronic survey will
include enough time for record
searches. This survey has branching

opportunity to survey a population that
is key to advancing the Division of Viral
Hepatitis strategic plan to eliminate
viral hepatitis in the U.S.
The overarching goals for this data
collection are: (1) to reduce new viral
hepatitis infections; (2) to reduce viral
hepatitis-related morbidity and
mortality; and (3) to reduce viral
hepatitis-related disparities. The
information collected will allow CDC to
be good stewards of resources by
guiding programmatic initiatives and
allocation of funding sources. Data from
this project will be used to inform

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Federal Government’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
The feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
