has submitted the information 

collection request titled 

‘‘Comprehensive Understanding of 

Readiness for Elimination of Hepatitis C

previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data 

Collection Submitted for Public 

Comment and Recommendations’’ 

notice on May 28, 2024, to obtain 

comments from the public and affected 

agencies. CDC received two nonsubstantive public comments related to 

the previous notice. This notice serves

Proposed Project 

Comprehensive Understanding of 

Readiness for Elimination of Hepatitis C 

in Corrections (Cure-HepC)survey— 

New—National Center for HIV, Viral 

Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis 

Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC previously piloted the 

Comprehensive Understanding of 

Readiness for Elimination of Hepatitis C 

in Corrections (Cure-HepC) survey with 

the American Correctional Association 

in seven jurisdictions. The goal is to 

administer the validated Cure-HepC 

survey to all 50-state Department of 

Corrections (DOC) including the district 

of Columbia, and large jails. This survey 

captures data on current hepatitis C 

screening, testing, and treatment 

practices, hepatitis C prevalence 

estimates, access to substance use 

disorder treatment including 

medications for opioid use disorder 

(MOUD), and challenges in scaling 

hepatitis C testing and treatment 

programming. 

The results of this survey will be used 

to accelerate the implementation of 

hepatitis C screening, testing and 

treatment best practices and track the 

elimination of hepatitis C in carceral 

settings. Point prevalence data allows 

for the appropriate allocation of 

resources to support state DOCs and 

large jails in their efforts to eliminate 

hepatitis C in carceral settings. 

Understanding challenges in best 

practices implementation can shape 

technical assistance and resources to 

accelerate their adoption. The 

importance of this task is monumental 

in that carceral health is community 

health and eliminating hepatitis C in 

carceral settings greatly advances 

overall elimination efforts. 

The information collected will allow 

CDC to be good stewards of resources by 

guiding programmatic initiatives and 

allocation of funding sources. Data from 

this project will be used to inform 

planning and evaluation of 

programming that aim to reduce new 

viral hepatitis infections, reduce viral 

hepatitis-related morbidity and 

mortality, and reduce viral hepatitisrelated disparities. The data collected 

will establish a system for ongoing 

program evaluation and improvement 

and allow for data-driven resource 

allocation to areas of greatest need. 

Invitations will be sent to 101 state 

DOCs and large jails, to include the 

District of Columbia. 

This self-administered survey 

modality will include programmed 

required data elements, logic checks, 

skip patterns, and range values, thereby 

improving the quality of the data and 

reducing burden for respondents. 

Respondents who do not wish to 

complete the survey online via secure 

web-based application will be given 

other options including to schedule a 

telephone or videoconference interview 

with a member of the study 

administration team. All data, regardless 

of survey modality used, will be entered 

into a secure web-based application 

(e.g., REDCap, Survey Monkey). The 

burden to respondents will remain the 

same regardless of mode of 

administration. Participating sites will 

have a set-time period, to complete the 

survey. Estimated time to complete 

survey is between 30 to 80 minutes, 

with an average time to complete of 55 

minutes, to include time for collecting 

the required data elements and entering 

the data elements into the web-based 

survey form. The total annual burden is 

estimated to be 96 hours.
