following the maximum difference 

scaling methodology. 

This information will allow CDC to 

compile a systematic, quantifiable 

inventory of preference data for a group 

that is considered representative of 

tractor parts dealers nationwide. 

Additionally, this data will allow for 

segmentation of response by groups 

with particularized interests. 

The survey pilot questionnaire will be 

administered by the New York Center 

for Agricultural Medicine and Health 

(NYCAMH). Following the 

administration of a pilot test 

questionnaire to assess comprehension 

and message comprehension, a finalized 

questionnaire will be routinely 

submitted to NEDA establishments by 

electronic mail. The estimated burden 

per response is 17 minutes. Each 

respondent establishment will receive a 

personalized advance notification email, 

followed by an email with a link to the 

CDC Web site. 

CDC anticipates that routine 

information collection will begin in 

August 2012. Assuming full 

participation, the total estimated burden 

for the one-time retrospective data 

collection is 148 hours which includes 

500 respondents for the survey and 20 

respondents from the pilot project. At a 

reduced response rate of 80%, total 

burden would be 450 participants for a 

total of 134 hours, assuming 

replacement and thus full participation 

for pilot participants. There are no costs 

to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project 

Medical Monitoring Project (MMP)— 

0920–0740, exp. 5/31/2012—Extension 

with change—National Center for HIV, 

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 population-based 

national estimates of key indicators, 

related to the quality of HIV-related 

ambulatory care, the severity of need for 

HIV-related care and services, and HIVrelated 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. Collection of data from 

interviews with HIV-infected patients 

provides 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 AIDS-defining 

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. No other Federal 

agency collects national 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 requests approval for a 

3-year extension with change for the 

previously approved Medical 

Monitoring Project (MMP) 0920–0740 

exp. 5/31/2012). Data will be collected 

through in-person and telephoneadministered, computer-assisted 

interviews conducted by trained 

interviewers in 23 Reporting Areas (16 

states, Puerto Rico and 6 separately 

funded cities), and through medical 

record abstraction by trained 

abstractors. The methods for the project 

have been updated to include telephone 

interviews as an interviewing option. 

Otherwise, the project activities and 

methods will remain the same as those

17064 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 57 / Friday, March 23, 2012 / Notices 

used in the previously approved data 

collection period. 

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 for on all eligible 

participants. Minimal data on all 

sampled patients will be extracted from 

an existing HIV case surveillance 

database, the national HIV/AIDS 

Reporting System [HARS]. These data 

will be used for quality control (to 

ensure patients were not sampled for 

participation in MMP more than once), 

to assess nonresponse bias, to 

prospectively monitor respondents’ care 

utilization and treatment, and to make 

inference to the population of persons 

living with HIV in the United States. 

The interview and minimum data set 

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. Because the number 

of sampled patients is greater (by 62 

patients) than for the previously 

approved information collection, the 

total burden (in hours) will increase by 

37 hours, from 8,500 to 8,537. 

Participation of respondents is 

voluntary and there is no cost to the 

respondents other than their time. 

The estimated annualized burden 

hours are 8,537.

Proposed Project 

The National Survey of Family 

Growth (NSFG)—(0920–0314, 

Expiration 05/31/2012)—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. 242k), as 

amended, authorizes that the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 

acting through NCHS, shall collect 

statistics on ‘‘family formation, growth, 

and dissolution,’’ as well as 

‘‘determinants of health’’ and 

‘‘utilization of health care’’ in the 

United States. This three-year clearance 

request includes the data collection in 

2012–2015 for the continuous NSFG. 

The National Survey of Family 

Growth(NSFG) was conducted 

periodically between 1973 and 2002, 

and continuously since 2006, by the 

National Center for Health Statistics, 

CDC. Each year, about 14,000 

households are screened, with about 

5,000 participants interviewed annually. 

Participation in the NSFG is completely 

voluntary and confidential. Interviews 

average 60 minutes for males and 80 

minutes for females. The response rate 

since 2006 is about 77 percent. This 

submission requests approval for three 

years. 

The NSFG program produces 

descriptive statistics which measure 

factors associated with birth and 

pregnancy rates, including 

contraception, infertility, marriage, 

divorce, and sexual activity, in the US 

population 15–44; and behaviors that 

affect the risk of sexually transmitted 

diseases (STD), including HIV, and the 

medical care associated with 

contraception, infertility, and pregnancy 

and childbirth. 

NSFG data users include the DHHS 

programs that fund it, including CDC/ 

NCHS and nine others (The Eunice 

Kennedy Shriver National Institute for 

Child Health and Human Development 

(NIH/NICHD); the Office of Population 

Affairs (DHHS/OPA); the Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Planning and 

Evaluation (DHHS/OASPE); the 

Children’s Bureau (DHHS/ACF/CB); the 

ACF’s Office of Planning, Research, and 

Evaluation (OPRE); the CDC’s Division 

of HIV/AIDS Prevention (CDC/DHAP); 

the CDC’s Division of STD Prevention 

(CDC/DSTD); the CDC’s Division of 

Cancer Prevention and Control (CDC/ 

DCPC); and the CDC’s Division of Birth 

Defects and Developmental Disabilities. 

The NSFG is also used by state and local 

governments; private research and 

action organizations focused on men’s
