cure, people with HIV who get on and 

stay on effective HIV treatment can live 

long, healthy lives and protect their 

partners (CDC, 2024a). 

While the number of persons living 

with HIV in the United States has 

slightly increased from an estimated 1.1 

million people at the end of 2006 to 1.2 

million people in 2022, the estimated 

HIV incidence has decreased from 

48,600 in 2006 to 31,800 in 2022 

(Campsmith, Rhodes, Hall, & Green, 

2008; CDC, 2024b; Prejean et al., 2011). 

There are now better HIV assays for 

more accurate diagnosis, improved 

antiretroviral treatment, pre-exposure 

prophylaxis, post-exposure prophylaxis, 

and self-testing, which taken together 

improve the prevention, diagnosis, and 

treatment of HIV infections. 

In 2006, the CDC published ‘‘Revised 

Recommendations for HIV Testing of 

Adults, Adolescents, and Pregnant 

Women in Health-Care Settings,’’ 

(hereafter referred to as 2006 HIV 

Testing Recommendations). These 

guidelines transformed the HIV testing 

paradigm in the United States by 

recommending routine, voluntary HIV 

screening among all adults and 

adolescents between 13–64 years of age 

unless prevalence of undiagnosed HIV 

infection in their patients has been 

documented to be less than 0.1%. In 

addition, it was recommended that 

repeat screening of persons not likely to 

be at high risk for HIV should be 

performed based on clinical judgment. 

The 2006 HIV Testing 

Recommendations aimed to normalize 

HIV screening. To update the evidence, 

CDC conducted an in-depth systematic 

review and analysis of other data 

sources using rigorous methods for 

guidelines development. CDC obtained 

input from the public prior to starting 

the update process and from internal 

and external experts at different points 

in the process. CDC seeks to engage a 

diverse range of perspectives to inform 

the development of the 

recommendations, improve their 

credibility, and increase the 

transparency of the process. 

CDC invites written comments by the 

public (any interested persons or 

organizations) on the draft HIV 

screening guideline. These 

recommendations will also undergo 

peer review.

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. 

Proposed Project 

Performance Monitoring of CDC’s 

Core State Injury Prevention Program 

(SIPP) (OMB Control No. 0920–1365, 

Exp. 7/31/2025)—Revision—National 

Center for Injury Prevention and Control 

(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

This is a Revision request for the 

currently approved Performance 

Monitoring of CDC’s Core State Injury 

Prevention Program (SIPP) (OMB 

Control No. 0920–1369, Exp. Date 7/31/ 

2025). Approval is requested for an 

additional three years to continue 

collecting information from awardees 

funded under the Core SIPP cooperative 

agreement. Data collected up until this 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 232 / Tuesday, December 3, 2024 / Notices 95795 

point has been used for monitoring the 

impact of Core SIPP. 

Monitoring the impact of populationbased strategies and identifying new 

insights and innovative solutions to 

health problems are two of the noted 

public health activities that all public 

health systems should undertake. For 

NCIPC, these objectives cannot be 

satisfied without the systematic 

collection of data and information from 

state health departments. The 

information collection will enable the 

accurate, reliable, uniform, and timely 

submission to NCIPC of each awardee’s 

progress report and injury indicators, 

including strategies and performance 

measures. The information collection 

plan proposed here will also generate a 

variety of routine and customizable 

reports. State-specific reports will allow 

each awardee to summarize activities 

and progress towards meeting strategies 

and performance measure targets related 

to the reduction and prevention of 

unintentional and intentional injuries. 

NCIPC will also have the capacity to 

generate reports that describe activities 

and health outcomes across multiple 

recipients, which will enable better 

reporting of trends and provision of 

technical assistance through linking 

partners across state health departments 

and collaborating divisions within CDC. 

The information collection and 

reporting requirements have been 

carefully designed to align with and 

support the specific goals and outcomes 

outlined in the Core SIPP cooperative 

agreement. The overarching goal of Core 

SIPP is to strengthen the awardee’s 

injury prevention programs and policies 

and demonstrate impact in the 

reduction of injury-related morbidity 

and mortality. Although the data are 

limited to the 26 recipients of the Core 

SIPP NOFO, the results can be 

generalizable and inform injury 

prevention work. Moreover, it is 

steadfastly asserted that the results of 

the data collection are vital to ensuring 

the Core SIPPs efficient management. 

Results will not only allow NCIPC staff 

to provide data-driven technical 

assistance to recipients, but also to 

assess patterns across other NCIPC 

injury prevention programs such as, 

Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention 

for States and the Injury Control 

Research Centers. In addition, the data 

collection will inform the continuous 

quality improvement process and allow 

NCIPC staff to make mid-course 

corrections and describe the impact on 

health outcomes. The information 

collection procedures allow NCIPC to 

respond to inquiries from the HHS, the 

White House, Congress and other 

stakeholders about program activities 

and their impact; as well as, work 

towards CDCs overarching mission to 

protect America from health, safety and 

security threats, both foreign and in the 

U.S. 

Program recipients use the 

information collected to manage and 

coordinate their activities and to 

improve their efforts to prevent and 

control injuries. The Partners’ Portal 

allows recipients to fulfill their annual 

reporting obligations efficiently by 

employing user-friendly, easily 

accessible web-based instruments to 

collect necessary information for both 

progress reports and continuation 

applications including work plans. This 

approach enables recipients to save 

pertinent information from one 

reporting period to the next and reduces 

the administrative burden on the annual 

continuation application and the 

performance monitoring process. 

Awardee program staff are able to 

review the completeness of data needed 

to generate required reports, enter basic 

summary data for reports annually, and 

finalize and save required reports for 

upload into other reporting systems as 

required. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 286 annual burden hours. 

There are no costs to respondents other 

than their time to participate.
