assist NIOSH in documenting the work 

history of the employee by 

characterizing the actual work tasks 

performed. In addition, NIOSH and the 

claimant may identify incidents that 

may have resulted in undocumented 

radiation exposures, characterizing 

radiological protection and monitoring 

practices, and identify co-workers and 

other witnesses as may be necessary to 

confirm undocumented information. In 

this process, NIOSH uses a computer 

assisted telephone interview (CATI) 

system, which allows interviews to be 

conducted more efficiently and quickly 

as opposed to a paper-based interview 

instrument. Both interviews are 

voluntary and failure to participate in 

either or both interviews will not have 

a negative effect on the claim, although 

voluntary participation may assist the 

claimant by adding important 

information that may not be otherwise 

available. 

NIOSH uses the data collected in this 

process to complete an individual dose 

reconstruction that accounts, as fully as 

possible, for the radiation dose incurred 

by the employee in the line of duty for 

DOE nuclear weapons production 

programs. After dose reconstruction, 

NIOSH also performs a brief, voluntary 

final interview with the claimant to 

explain the results and to allow the 

claimant to confirm or question the 

records NIOSH has compiled. This will 

also be the final opportunity for the 

claimant to supplement the dose 

reconstruction record. 

At the conclusion of the dose 

reconstruction process, the claimant 

submits a form to confirm that the 

claimant has no further information to 

provide to NIOSH about the claim at 

this time. The form notifies the claimant 

that signing the form allows NIOSH to 

forward a dose reconstruction report to 

DOL and to the claimant, and closes the 

record on data used for the dose 

reconstruction. Signing this form does 

not indicate that the claimant agrees 

with the outcome of the dose 

reconstruction. The dose reconstruction 

results will be supplied to the claimant 

and to the DOL, the agency that will 

utilize them as one part of its 

determination of whether the claimant 

is eligible for compensation under the 

Act. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time. The total estimated 

annual burden hours are 4,900.

opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects, the 

Centers for Disease Control and

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

Proposed Project 

Medical Monitoring Project (MMP)— 

(OMB No. 0920–0740 Exp: 5/31/2012)— 

Revision—National Center for HIV/ 

AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 

Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

This proposed data collection 

supplements the HIV/AIDS surveillance 

programs in 23 selected state and local 

health departments, which collect 

information on persons diagnosed with, 

living with, and dying from HIV 

infection and AIDS and will incorporate 

data elements from two data collections: 

Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance 

(SHAS) project (0920–0262) and the 

Adult/Adolescent Spectrum of HIV 

Disease (ASD). Both projects stopped 

data collection in 2004. Although CDC 

receives surveillance data from all U.S. 

states, these supplemental surveillance 

data are needed to make populationbased national estimates of key 

indicators, related to the quality of HIVrelated ambulatory care, the severity of 

need for HIV-related care and services, 

and HIV-related behaviors and clinical 

outcomes. 

This project collects data on behaviors 

and clinical outcomes from a probability 

sample of HIV-infected adults receiving 

care in the U.S. through in-person or 

telephone interviews and abstraction of 

medical records. Information is also 

extracted from HIV case surveillance 

records for a dataset, referred to as the 

minimum dataset, which is used to 

assess non-response bias, for quality 

control, to improve the ability of MMP 

to monitor ongoing care and treatment 

of HIV-infected persons, and to make 

inferences from the MMP sample to 

HIV-infected persons in care nationally. 

No other Federal agency collects 

nationally representative populationbased behavioral and clinical 

information from HIV-infected adults in 

care. The data are expected to have 

significant implications for policy, 

program development, and resource 

allocation at the state/local and national 

levels. 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention request approval for a

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 9 / Friday, January 13, 2012 / Notices 2067 

revision and 3-year approval for the 

previously approved Medical 

Monitoring Project (MMP) 0920–0740 

exp. 5/31/2012). The interview and 

minimum dataset data collection 

instruments have been revised based on 

experience in previous data collection 

cycles, but these changes will not affect 

the burden per respondent. The medical 

record abstraction forms have not 

changed. CDC’s current goal is to 

interview 80% of 9,400 patients or 

7,520, 96% of whom (a total of 7,219 

patients) will complete the standard 

interview and 4% of whom (a total of 

301 patients) will complete the short 

interview. The number of sampled 

patients has increased by 62 patients 

compared to the previously approved 

information collection; thereby 

increasing the total burden hours by 37 

hours, from 8,500 to 8,537. 

Data will be collected through inperson and telephone-administered, 

computer-assisted interviews conducted 

by trained interviewers in 23 Reporting 

Areas (16 states, Puerto Rico and 6 

separately funded cities), through 

medical record and abstraction by 

trained abstractors and through 

extraction of information from HIV 

surveillance case records. The project 

activities and methods will remain the 

same as those used in the previously 

approved data collection period. Interviews with HIV-infected patients 

provide information on patient 

demographics, and the current levels of 

behaviors that may facilitate HIV 

transmission: sexual and drug use 

behaviors; patients’ access to, use of and 

barriers to receiving HIV-related 

secondary prevention services; 

utilization of HIV-related medical 

services; and adherence to drug 

regimens. Collection of data from patient 

medical records provides information 

on: demographics and insurance status; 

the prevalence and incidence of AIDSdefining opportunistic illnesses and comorbidities related to HIV disease; the 

receipt of prophylactic and 

antiretroviral medications; and whether 

patients are receiving screening and 

treatment according to Public Health 

Service guidelines. 

The minimum dataset contains 

demographic and HIV-related laboratory 

test information extracted from an 

existing HIV case surveillance database, 

the national HIV/AIDS Reporting 

System. 

A standard interview will be 

conducted with approximately 96% of 

patients, and will take 45 minutes. A 

short interview will be conducted with 

patients who are too ill to complete the 

standard interview or when the 

interview must be translated. The short 

interview, which will be conducted 

with approximately 4% of patients, will 

take approximately 20 minutes. 

Medical record abstractions will be 

completed on all eligible participants. 

Minimal data on all sampled patients 

will be extracted from the national HIV/ 

AIDS Reporting System. 

Participation of respondents is 

voluntary. There is no cost to the 

respondents other than their time.
