Proposed Data Collection Submitted 

for Public Comment and 

Recommendations 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice with comment period. 

SUMMARY: 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 Project 

Confianza to Identify Medical Mistrust 

Drivers among Hispanic/Latino Gay, 

Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex 

With Men (HLMSM). The data 

collection is designed to identify the 

root causes of medical mistrust and 

opportunities to implement 

interventions that can make HIV-related 

services trusted and acceptable for 

HLMSM to increase access to, and 

utilization of, HIV prevention and care 

services, as well as contribute toward 

achieving Ending the HIV Epidemic in 

the U.S. (EHE) goals and National HIV 

Strategic Plan health disparities goals. 

DATES: CDC must receive written 

comments on or before April 29, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CDC–2024– 

0012 by either of the following methods: 

b Federal eRulemaking Portal: 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

b Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information 

Collection Review Office, Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 

Clifton Road NE, MS H21–8, Atlanta, 

Georgia 30329. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and 

Docket Number. CDC will post, without 

change, all relevant comments to 

www.regulations.gov. Please note: 

Submit all comments through the 

Federal eRulemaking portal 

(www.regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to 

the address listed above. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

request more information on the 

proposed project or to obtain a copy of 

the information collection plan and 

instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, 

Information Collection Review Office, 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS 

H21–8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

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 

Although the HIV diagnosis rate 

among Hispanic/Latino Americans (H/ 

L) has decreased in the United States 

(from 17.6/100,000 in 2014 to 11.0/ 

100,000 in 2019), H/L continue to be 

disproportionately affected by HIV. H/L 

account for 18.7% of the US population 

and in 2019 they accounted for 29% of 

new HIV diagnoses, the majority (85%) 

of which were among H/L gay, bisexual 

and other men who have sex with men 

(HLMSM). Medical mistrust (MM) is a 

social determinant of health associated 

with HIV disparities (e.g., low PrEP 

willingness and adherence) among 

HLMSM that prevents and delays access 

and engagement in HIV prevention and 

care services (e.g., PrEP, ART). To date, 

most MM studies in the United States 

have focused on Black/African 

American persons. The few studies that 

have examined MM among H/L are 

mostly in non-HIV fields (e.g., 

reproductive health and chronic 

diseases, such as cancer screening). The 

literature highlights the need for 

research about MM among HLMSM. 

Because its root causes in this priority 

group are unknown, the goals of this 

collection are to understand pathways 

that lead to MM in HLMSM, and to 

capture variations in MM drivers among 

different H/L subgroups (e.g., 

Indigenous, Mexican, Puerto Rican, 

Salvadoran, Columbian). Methods used 

to collect data during this project 

include (1) In-depth interviews, focus 

groups, and quantitative surveys with 

HLMSM and (2) key informant 

interviews and focus groups with health 

care providers and H/L leaders/ 

gatekeepers. Projects collecting 

information under this request should: 

(1) identify the root causes of MM and 

opportunities to implement 

interventions that can make HIV-related 

services trusted and acceptable for 

HLMSM to help increase HLMSM 

access to, and utilization of, HIV 

prevention and care services; (2) 

contribute toward achieving Ending the 

HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) goals; 

and (3) respond to the National HIV 

Strategic Plan health disparities goals. 

CDC awarded a research cooperative 

agreement to three academic institutions 

(Johns Hopkins University [JHU]; the 

University of California, San Francisco 

[UCSF]; and Wake Forest University 

[WFU]) through a Notice of Funding 

Opportunity (NOFO) PS23–006. The 

total estimated annualized burden hours 

requested are 2,580. There is no cost to 

respondents other than their time to 

participate.
