Proposed Project 

U.S. National Authority for 

Containment of Poliovirus Data 

Collection Tools—New—Office of 

Readiness and Response (ORR), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The role of the National Authority for 

Containment (U.S. NAC) of Poliovirus is 

to ensure that the requirements 

established in the World Health 

Organization (WHO) Global Action Plan 

(GAP) III/IV standard are effectively 

implemented and maintained in 

facilities working with or storing 

infectious poliovirus or potentially 

infectious materials. Risk assessments 

following an incident are a critical 

component for adequate application of 

the GAP standard. To support risk 

assessment activities, The ‘‘Facility 

Incident Reporting Form for Poliovirus 

Release and Potential Exposure’’ and the 

‘‘Facility Incident Reporting Form for 

Poliovirus Theft or Loss’’ forms were 

created for facilities to capture and 

submit incident information to the U.S. 

NAC. These forms will not only address 

the biosafety and biosecurity 

containment emergency elements of the 

GAP standard but will also inform the 

U.S. NAC risk assessments and thereby, 

guide CDC’s determination of the 

emergency response level and direction. 

The information collected in the 

‘‘Personal Protective Equipment Survey 

for Laboratories’’ will assist the Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC), U.S. NAC and National Institute 

for Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH) with developing guidance and 

recommendations for PPE selection and 

use in support of poliovirus 

containment, as well as identify 

laboratory PPE commonly used to 

evaluate laboratory PPE performance 

characteristics in testing studies. 

Information collected in the ‘‘Global 

Action Plan (GAP) Poliovirus 

Containment Poliovirus-Essential 

Facility Assessment Checklist’’ will aid 

U.S. facilities in preparing for an audit 

to obtain a poliovirus certificate of 

containment. Data collected from this 

form will also collect additional 

information on poliovirus materials 

held by a U.S. facility, their work 

activities, and facility features. 

The ‘‘Poliovirus Containment 

Sampling Plan and Sanitation 

Assessment Form for Wastewater (WW) 

Systems Supporting a PoliovirusEssential Facility (PEF) in the United 

States’’ form will collect information to 

assess a poliovirus facility’s essential 

WW system, the primary safeguards to 

reduce and control the release of 

poliovirus from the facility. In addition, 

it will verify the safeguards of local WW 

utilities that receive WW from the PEF. 

OMB approval is sought for three 

years. The annualized time burden for 

this information collection is estimated 

to be 125 hours. There is no cost to 

respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project 

National Health Interview Survey 

(NHIS) (OMB Control No. 0920–0214, 

Exp. 12/31/2023)—Revision—National 

Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 306 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.), as 

amended, authorizes that the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services (HHS), 

acting through NCHS, shall collect 

statistics on the extent and nature of 

illness and disability of the population 

of the United States. The annual 

National Health Interview Survey 

(NHIS) is a major source of general 

statistics on the health of the U.S. 

population and has been in the field 

continuously since 1957. This voluntary 

and confidential household-based 

survey collects demographic and healthrelated information from a nationally 

representative sample of households 

and noninstitutionalized, civilian 

persons throughout the country. NHIS 

data have long been used by 

government, academic, and private 

researchers to evaluate both general 

health and specific issues, such as 

smoking, diabetes, health care coverage, 

and access to health care. The survey is 

also a leading source of data for the 

Congressionally mandated ‘‘Health US’’ 

and related publications, as well as the 

single most important source of 

statistics to track progress toward HHS 

health objectives. 

The NHIS sample adult and sample 

child questionnaires include annual 

core content that is scheduled to be 

fielded in the survey every year, rotating 

content that is fielded periodically, 

emerging content to address new topics 

of growing interest, and sponsored 

content that is fielded when external 

funding is available. Rotating sample 

adult and sample child core content on 

service utilization that was on the NHIS 

in 2023 will rotate off in 2024. Content 

on chronic pain and preventive services 

will also rotate off the sample adult 

core, and content on stressful life events 

will rotate off the sample child core. 

The 2024 sample adult rotating core will 

include items on health-related 

behaviors including smoking history 

and cessation, alcohol use, fatigue, 

physical activity, walking, doctor’s 

advice to exercise, and sleep—content 

previously fielded on the 2022 NHIS. It 

will also include content on allergies 

and other health conditions and 

psychological distress, content that was 

previously fielded in 2021. The 2024 

sample child rotating core will include 

questions on allergies and other 

conditions and health-related behaviors 

including physical activity, 

neighborhood characteristics, sleep, 

screen time, and height and weight 

which were previously fielded in 2022. 

Sponsored content on vision and 

hearing will be removed from both the 

sample adult and sample child 

questionnaires. Sponsored content on 

arthritis will be removed from the 

sample adult questionnaire. Sponsored 

content on social support and stressful 

life events will be removed from the 

sample child questionnaire. Sponsored 

content on cancer control and 

immunizations will remain, but the 

specific questions will change. 

Sponsored cancer control content on 

breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer 

screening, family history of cancers, and 

genetic testing for cancer risk will be 

removed from the sample adult 

questionnaire. Sponsored cancer control 

content in the 2024 NHIS sample adult 

questionnaire will focus on cigarette 

smoking history, lung cancer screening, 

environment for walking, and sun 

safety, using similar questions that were 

used in the 2020 NHIS. Sponsored 

content for the 2024 NHIS sample adult 

and sample child questionnaire will 

also include questions about taste and 

smell that are similar to content 

included in the 2021 NHIS. Sponsored 

content on social support and loneliness 

will also be added to the 2024 NHIS 

sample adult questionnaire. Emerging 

content on everyday discrimination, 

heightened vigilance, and mental health 

has been removed from the sample adult 

questionnaire. Emerging content on 

GLP–1 injectables has been added to the 

sample adult questionnaire. 

Like in past years, and in accordance 

with the 1995 initiative to increase the 

integration of surveys within the DHHS, 

respondents to the 2021 NHIS will serve 

as the sampling frame for the Medical 

Expenditure Panel Survey conducted by 

the Agency for Healthcare Research and 

Quality. A subsample of NHIS 

respondents and/or members of 

commercial survey panels may be 

identified to participate in short, webbased methodological and cognitive 

testing activities to evaluate the 

questionnaire and/or inform the 

development of new rotating and 

sponsored content using web and/or 

mail survey tools. In addition, 

subsamples of NHIS respondents may 

be recontacted by web, phone, or mail 

to ask follow-up questions on topics that 

are already included in the NHIS. The 

NHIS-Teen is a follow-back survey of 

adolescents that was fielded from 2021 

to 2023 and may be fielded again in 

2025 and 2026 if funding is available. 

The NHIS also includes content that is 

used to benchmark estimates and 

calibrate survey weights from 

probability-based online commercial 

survey panels as part of the NCHS Rapid 

Surveys System. 

CDC requests OMB clearance for three 

years, to collect data through 2026. The 

total estimated annualized burden is 

39,192 hours. There is no cost to the 

respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project 

mChoice: Improving PrEP Uptake and 

Adherence among Minority MSM 

through Provider Training and 

Adherence Assistance in Two High 

Priority Settings—New—National 

Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, TB 

Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The CDC is requesting approval for 

three years for a data collection titled 

mChoice: Improving PrEP Uptake and 

Adherence among Minority MSM 

through Provider Training and 

Adherence Assistance in Two High 

Priority Settings. The purpose of the 

information collection is to implement 

and evaluate the effectiveness of 

mChoice, a clinic-based intervention 

designed to improve HIV preexposure 

prophylaxis (PrEP) adherence and 

persistence among young men who have 

sex with men (YMSM). The intervention 

targets both health providers and PrEP 

patients by providing evidence-based 

training for health providers to improve 

clinical knowledge and enhance 

provider communications with patients, 

and CleverCap, an electronic medication 

monitoring device and mobile phone 

application that provides health 

information and medication and 

appointment reminders for patients 

undergoing PrEP treatment. 

Data collected through this study will 

be used to evaluate the mChoice 

intervention for YMSM. The 

information collected in this study will 

be used to: (1) describe real-world PrEP 

use including factors influencing 

selection and change of PrEP regimens; 

(2) understand and describe barriers and 

facilitators impacting the 

implementation of new PrEP modalities 

in clinical practice; (3) evaluate the 

feasibility and acceptability of the 

CleverCap mobile app among YMSM on 

PrEP; and (4) evaluate the feasibility and 

acceptability of implementing provider 

PrEP training. 

The study will be carried out in four 

clinics in two locations, New York City, 

NY (2), and Birmingham, AL (2). For the 

cohort, convenience and referral-based 

sampling techniques will be used to 

identify and recruit participants. 

Participants will be young men between 

the ages of 18 and 39 who have sex with 

men; are using or initiating PrEP; and 

live in the New York City or 

Birmingham, AL area. Recruitment 

controls will ensure enrollment of at 

least 50% Black or African American or 

Hispanic or Latino men. Cohort 

participants will be recruited using a 

combination of approaches including 

print media posted in clinic waiting 

rooms, social media, referral, and inperson outreach.
