Proposed Project
Survey of HIV Care Providers—New—
National Center for HIV, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a 3-year approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) to survey randomly
selected HIV care providers (e.g.,
physicians and other care providers) in
the United States regarding their
training history, areas of specialization,
ongoing sources of training and
continuing education about HIV care,
and awareness of HIV treatment
guidelines and resources. Results from
this survey will be used in conjunction
with data from CDC’s Morbidity
Monitoring Project (MMP) to assess who
is providing HIV care, to examine the
impact of provider characteristics on the
quality and standard of care being
provided to patients with HIV, to
determine opportunities to improve
resources available to HIV care
providers, and to evaluate the reasons
for sampled providers’ participation and
non-participation in MMP. Participation
in the survey is not contingent upon a
provider’s involvement with the MMP.
All selected HIV care providers will be
asked to participate in the survey,
regardless of their participation in the
MMP.
For this proposed data collection,
MMP project areas have identified all
HIV care providers in their jurisdictions,
including those providers who may not
be participating in the MMP project. Of
this universe of HIV care providers, CDC
plans to randomly survey 1,040
providers. Respondents will have the
option to use either a Web-based
application or paper survey to
participate in the survey. There is no
cost to respondents to participate in this
survey other than their time.

Proposed Project
Possession, Use, and Transfer of
Select Agents and Toxins (OMB Control
No. 0920–0576)—Extension—Office of
the Director (OD), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Public Health Security and
Bioterrorism Preparedness and
Response Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–188)
specifies that the Secretary of Health
and Human Services (HHS) shall
provide for the establishment and
enforcement of standards and
procedures governing the possession,
use, and transfer of select agents and
toxins. The Act specifies that facilities
that possess, use, and transfer select
agents register with the Secretary. The
Secretary has designated CDC as the
agency responsible for collecting this
information.
CDC is requesting continued OMB
approval to collect this information
through the use of five separate forms.
These forms are: (1) Application for
Registration; (2) Request to Transfer
Select Agent or Toxin; (3) Report of
Theft, Loss, or Release of Select Agent
and Toxin; (4) Report of Identification of
Select Agent or Toxin; and (5) Request
for Exemption.
The Application for Registration (42
CFR 73.7(d)) will be used by entities to
register with CDC. The Application for
Registration requests facility
information; a list of select agents or
toxins in use, possession, or for transfer
by the entity; characterization of the
select agent or toxin; and laboratory
information. Estimated average time to
complete this form is 3 hours, 45
minutes for an entity with one principal
investigator working with one select

agent or toxin. CDC estimates that
entities will need an additional 45
minutes for each additional investigator
or agent. In our regulatory analysis, we
have estimated that 70% of the 350
entities have 1–3 principal investigators,
15% have 5 principal investigators, and
15% have 10 principal investigators. We
have used these figures to calculate the
burden for this section. Estimated
burden for the Application for
Registration is 2,191 hours.
Entities may amend their registration
(42 CFR 73.7(h)(1)) if any changes occur
in the information submitted to CDC. To
apply for an amendment to a certificate
of registration, an entity must obtain the
relevant portion of the application
package and submit the information
requested in the package to CDC.
Estimated time to amend a registration
package is 1 hour.
The Request to Transfer Select Agent
or Toxin form (42 CFR 73.16) will be
used by entities requesting transfer of a
select agent or toxin to their facility, and
by the entity receiving the agent. CDC
revised the Request to Transfer Select
Agent or Toxin form by removing the
requirement that entities provide
written notice within five business days
when select agents or toxins are
consumed or destroyed after a transfer.
Estimated average time to complete this
form is 1 hour, 30 minutes.
The Report of Theft, Loss, or Release
of Select Agent and Toxin form (42 CFR
73.19(a)(b)) must be completed by
entities whenever there is theft, loss, or
release of a select agent or toxin.
Estimated average time to complete this
form is 1 hour.
The Report of Identification of Select
Agent or Toxin form 42 CFR 73.5(a)(b)
and 73.6(a)(b)) will be used by clinical
and diagnostic laboratories to notify
CDC that select agents or toxins
identified as the result of diagnostic or
proficiency testing have been disposed
