Proposed Project 

Resources and Services Database for 

the CDC National Prevention 

Information Network (formerly 

Information Collection of the Resources 

and Services Database of the National 

Prevention Information Network)— 

Reinstatement with Change—National 

Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, 

STD, & TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The National Center for HIV/AIDS, 

Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention 

(NCHHSTP) proposes to continue data 

collection for the Resources and 

Services Database of the CDC National 

Prevention Information Network. 

The CDC, NCHHSTP program has the 

primary responsibility within the CDC 

and the U.S. Public Health Service for 

the prevention and control of HIV 

infection, viral hepatitis, sexually 

transmitted diseases (STDs), and 

tuberculosis (TB), as well as for 

community-based HIV prevention 

activities, syphilis and TB elimination 

programs. To support NCHHSTP’s 

mission and to link Americans to 

prevention, education, and care 

services, the CDC National Prevention 

Information Network (NPIN) serves as 

the U.S. reference, referral, and 

distribution service for information on 

HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and 

TB. 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). 

Established in 1988, the NPIN 

Resources and Services Database 

contains entries on approximately 

10,000 organizations and is the most 

comprehensive listing of HIV/AIDS, 

STD and TB resources and services 

available throughout the country. This 

database describes national, state and 

local organizations that provide services 

related to HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, 

STDs, and TB services such as 

counseling and testing, prevention, 

education and support. The NPIN 

reference staff relies on the Resources 

and Services Database to respond to 

thousands of requests each year for 

information or referral from communitybased organizations, state and local 

health departments, and health 

professionals working in HIV/AIDS, 

STD and TB prevention. The CDC–INFO 

(formerly the CDC National AIDS 

Hotline) staff also uses the NPIN 

Resources and Services Database to refer 

up to 110,000 callers each year to local 

programs for information, services, and 

treatment. The American public can 

also access the NPIN Resources and 

Services database through the NPIN 

Web site. More than 29 million hits by 

the public to the website are recorded 

annually. 

A representative from each new 

organization identified will be 

administered the resource organization 

questionnaire via the telephone. 

Representatives may include registered 

nurses, social and community service 

managers, health educators, or social 

and human service assistants. As part of 

the verification process for 

organizations currently included in the 

Resources and Services Database, about 

30 percent of the organization’s 

representatives will receive a copy of 

their current database entry by 

electronic mail, including an 

introductory message and a list of 

instructions. The remaining 70 percent 

will receive a telephone call to review 

their database record. This request is for 

a 3-year renewal of clearance. There are 

no costs to respondents other than their 

time. The total estimated annual burden 

hours are 2,600.

Proposed Project 

Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance 

Project (GISP), (OMB No. 0920–0307)— 

Extension—National Center for HIV/ 

AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 

Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC is requesting a 3-year extension 

without change for this project. The 

objectives of GISP are to monitor trends 

in antimicrobial susceptibility of 

Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains in the 

U.S. and to characterize resistant 

isolates. Monitoring antibiotic 

susceptibility is critical since Neisseria 

gonorrhoeae has demonstrated the 

consistent ability to gain antibiotic 

resistance. GISP provides critical 

surveillance for antimicrobial 

resistance, allowing for informed 

treatment recommendations. 

This project involves 5 regional 

laboratories and 30 sexually transmitted 

disease (STD) clinics operated by the 

local health departments around the 

country. The STD clinics submit up to 

25 gonococcal isolates per month to the 

Regional laboratories to measure 

susceptibility to a panel of antibiotics. 

Limited demographic and clinical 

information corresponding to the 

isolates are submitted directly by the 

STD clinics to CDC. 

During 1986–2009, GISP has 

demonstrated the ability to effectively 

achieve its objectives. The emergence of 

resistance in the United States to 

penicillin, tetracyclines, and 

fluoroquinolones among N. gonorrhoeae 

isolates was identified through GISP. 

Increased prevalence of 

fluoroquinolone-resistant N. 

gonorrhoeae (QRNG), as documented by 

GISP data, prompted CDC to update the 

treatment recommendations for 

gonorrhea in CDC’s Sexually 

Transmitted Diseases Treatment 

Guidelines, 2006 and to release an 

MMWR article stating that CDC no 

longer recommended fluoroquinolones 

for treatment of gonococcal infections. 

There are no costs to respondents other 

than their time. Respondents receive 

Federal funds to participate in this 

project. The total annual burden is 

estimated to be 8,568 hours.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be submitted to: AHRQ’s OMB Desk 

Officer by fax at (202) 395–6974 

(attention: AHRQ’s desk officer) or by email at OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Project 

AHRQ Grants Reporting System (GRS) 

AHRQ seeks to renew the Agency’s 

Grants Reporting System (GRS), a 

systematic method for its grantees to 

report project progress and important 

preliminary findings for grants funded 

by the Agency. This system was first 

approved by OMB on November 10, 

2004 (OMB Control Number 0935– 

0122). The system addressed the 

shortfalls in the previous reporting 

process and established a consistent and 

comprehensive grants reporting solution 

for AHRQ. The GRS provides a 

centralized repository of grants research
