Recommendations

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

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 continuing information 
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This 
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project 
titled Resources and Services Database of the CDC National Prevention 
Information Network (NPIN). This information collection request is 
designed to support a resource for referrals, to facilitate 
partnerships and coordination among programs dealing with HIV/AIDS, 
viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB, and to satisfy the legislative mandate 
that information and education on HIV/AIDS be made available 
expeditiously and accurately to the professional community and to the 
general public.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2022-
0054 by either of the following methods:
    <bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov. Follow 
the instructions for submitting comments.
    <bullet> 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

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

    Resources and Services Database of the National Prevention 
Information Network (NPIN) (OMB Control No. 0920-0255, Exp. 01/31/
2023)--Revision--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, 
Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The CDC is requesting a Revision and three-year approval for 
Resources and Services Database of the National Prevention Information 
Network (NPIN) (OMB Control No. 0920-0255). Revisions include, minor 
formatting, changes to the surveys involving the decrease in the number 
of services collected, and changes to the NPIN Questionnaire for new 
organizations and for annual updates to reflect the changes and 
modernize the look.
    NPIN is a critical member of the network of government agencies, 
community organizations, businesses, health professionals, educators, 
and human services providers that educate the American public about the 
grave threat to public health posed by HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, 
and TB, and provides services for persons infected with human 
immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
    The NPIN Resources and Services Database contains entries on 
approximately 10,700 organizations and is the most comprehensive 
listing of HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STD, and TB resources and 
services available throughout the country. The American public can also 
access the NPIN Resources and Services database through the NPIN 
website. More than 1,668,000 unique visitors and more than 3,000,000 
page views are recorded annually.
    To accomplish CDC's goal of continuing efforts to maintain an up-
to-date, comprehensive database, NPIN plans each year to add up to 800 
newly identified organizations and to verify those organizations 
currently described in the NPIN Resources and Services Database each 
year. Organizations with access to the internet will be given the 
option to complete and submit an electronic version of the 
questionnaire by visiting the NPIN website.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,164 annual burden 
hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to 
participate.
