questions from Components 1 and 2 to 

provide relevant, timely data on new, 

emerging, and priority health topics to 

be used for decision making. NCHS will 

use questions from Components 3 and 4 

to weight and evaluate the quality of the 

estimates coming from questions in 

Components 1 and 2. Components 1 and 

2 will contain different topics in each 

round of the survey. NCHS submits a 

30-day Federal Register Notice with 

information on the contents of each 

round of data collection. 

NCHS calibrates survey weights from 

the RSS to gold standard surveys. 

Questions used for calibration in this 

round of RSS will include marital 

status, employment, social and work 

limitations, use of the internet in 

general and for medical reasons, 

telephone use, civic engagement, and 

language used at home and in other 

settings. All of these questions have 

been on the National Health Interview 

Survey (NHIS) in prior years allowing 

calibration to these data. 

Finally, all RSS rounds will include 

several questions that were previously 

on NHIS or other NCHS surveys, or 

other suitable Federal surveys for 

benchmarking to evaluate data quality. 

Panelists in the RSS will be asked about 

health status; chronic conditions; 

pregnancy; disability and age of 

disability onset; health insurance 

through an employer; healthcare access 

and utilization; mental health; mental 

health care utilization; and health 

behaviors. 

Rapid Surveys System (RSS) will 

include content on psychological 

aggression by intimate partners, sexual 

violence, technology-facilitated sexual 

violence, emerging coercive control by 

intimate partners, and traumatic brain 

injury because of intimate partner 

violence. 

In Round 4, the RSS will be used as 

a methodological study to test the 

ability to obtain data on intimate partner 

violence-related topics via web panel 

survey. In addition, RSS Round 4 offers 

the opportunity for developmental work 

to develop questions using a split 

sample to compare current NISVS 

questions and modified questions to 

evaluate different wording and question 

formats and to develop new 

questionnaire content related to 

understudied domains of intimate 

partner violence. The estimated total 

annual burden hours for the three-year 

approval period remains at 28,079 

burden hours. The NCHS RSS Round 4 

(2024) data collection is based on 13,100 

complete surveys (4,367 hours). There 

are no costs to respondents other than 

their time.

Reduction Act Review 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 

has submitted the information 

collection request titled ‘‘Medical 

Monitoring Project (MMP)’’ to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. CDC previously 

published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection 

Submitted for Public Comment and 

Recommendations’’ notice on April 24, 

2023 to obtain comments from the 

public and affected agencies. CDC 

received one comment related to the 

previous notice. This notice serves to 

allow an additional 30 days for public 

and affected agency comments. 

CDC will accept all comments for this 

proposed information collection project. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

that: 

(a) 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; 

(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agencies estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(d) 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 submission of 

responses; and 

(e) Assess information collection 

costs. 

To request additional information on 

the proposed project or to obtain a copy 

of the information collection plan and 

instruments, call (404) 639–7570. 

Comments and recommendations for the 

proposed information collection should 

be sent within 30 days of publication of 

this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/

Proposed Project 

Medical Monitoring Project (MMP)— 

(OMB Control No. 0920–0740 Exp. 05/ 

31/2024)—Revision—National Center 

for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and 

TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Division of HIV 

Prevention (DHP) requests a Revision of 

the currently approved Information 

Collection Request titled Medical 

Monitoring Project (MMP) (OMB 

Control No. 0920–0740, Expiration 5/ 

31/2024). This data collection addresses 

the need for national estimates of access

to and utilization of HIV-related medical 

care and services, the quality of HIVrelated ambulatory care, and HIVrelated behaviors and clinical outcomes. 

For the proposed project, the same 

data collection methods will be used as 

for the currently approved project. Data 

would be collected from a probability 

sample of HIV-diagnosed adults in the 

U.S. who consent to an interview and 

abstraction of their medical records. As 

for the currently approved project, deidentified information would also be 

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-diagnosed persons nationally. No 

other Federal agency collects such 

nationally representative populationbased information from HIV-diagnosed 

adults. The data are expected to have 

significant implications for policy, 

program development, and resource 

allocation at the State/local and national 

levels. 

The changes proposed in this 

Revision request update the data 

collection system to meet prevailing 

information needs and enhance the 

value of MMP data, while remaining 

within the scope of the currently 

approved project purpose. The burden 

is the same as in the currently approved 

project. Changes were made that did not 

affect the burden are listed below: 

• Revisions to the Interview 

Questionnaire were made to improve 

coherence, boost the efficiency of the 

data collection, and increase the 

relevance and value of the information. 

These changes did not affect the average 

burden per response. 

• Revisions to the Medical Record 

Abstraction Data Elements were made to 

streamline the information collected 

and add important questions, such as 

those related to mpox vaccination. 

Because the medical records are 

abstracted by MMP staff, these changes 

do not affect the burden of the project. 

• The Interview and Medical Record 

data collection system were integrated 

to improve project efficiency and 

enhance data quality. 

This proposed data collection would 

supplement the National HIV 

Surveillance System (NHSS, OMB 

Control No. 0920–0573, Exp. 02/28/ 

2026) in 23 selected State and local 

health departments, which collect 

information on persons diagnosed with, 

living with, and dying from HIV 

infection and AIDS. Through their 

participation, respondents will help to 

improve programs to prevent HIV 

infection as well as services for those 

who already have HIV. Participation of 

respondents is voluntary. Total 

estimated annual burden requested is 

5,707 hours. There is no cost to the 

respondents other than their time.
