Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 639–5960 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC or by fax to (202) 395–6974. Written
comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Surveillance of HIV/AIDS Related
Events Among Persons Not Receiving
Care-New-National Center for HIV, STD,
and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
A committee from the Institute of
Medicine (IOM) recently reviewed, at
the request of Congress, the status of
HIV/AIDS surveillance in the U.S. In the
resulting report, three populations of
interest were outlined, including
persons infected with HIV, who have a
diagnosis of HIV but are not receiving
care.
There are approximately 1 million
HIV-infected persons in the United
States. Of these, an estimated 75 percent
know they are infected, but
approximately half of those who know
they are infected do not have evidence
of having received any medical care for
their HIV infection. Existing HIV/AIDS
surveillance systems provide little
information about HIV-infected persons
who are not receiving care, especially
those who have never entered care. In
addition, an estimate of the size and
immunologic status of the latter group is
critically important for estimating
resources needed to support linkage to
care. Furthermore, identifying factors
related to not being linked to care will
be important in designing effective
interventions.
Based on the IOM recommendations
and to address the needs described
above, CDC is working with state and
local health departments in five project
areas to pilot a population-based
supplemental surveillance system,
‘‘Surveillance of HIV/AIDS Related
Events Among Persons Not Receiving
Care,’’ also called the Never In Care
(NIC) Project. The NIC Project is
designed to describe HIV-infected
persons who are at least 90 days post
diagnosis and have never received HIV
care. The project will be conducted over
a three-year period and will obtain data
on a total of 1,000 persons
(approximately 500 per year) with HIV/
AIDS. The data collection will include
interview-based data only.
The methods were developed in light
of recommendations from the IOM, an
earlier population-based survey of
persons receiving care for HIV infection,
and earlier CDC pilots of populationbased methods.
For this proposed data collection,
participating public health jurisdictions
will conduct structured interviews with
HIV-infected persons identified using
their HIV/AIDS surveillance and
supplemental laboratory databases or
through HIV diagnostic and case
management service providers. The
target number of structured interviews
is 1,000 over 2 years of data collection.
Qualitative interviews will be
conducted with the first 75 persons who
agree to a second interview. The
information to be collected includes
demographic data, HIV testing history,
high-risk drug use and sexual behaviors,
reasons for not using health care and
treatment, and unmet needs.
Results from this project will be used
to develop estimates of the medical
services and resources needed for
persons who are infected with HIV, but
who have not received medical care and
treatment. Additionally, new data
related to those not receiving care may
be used to design effective interventions
for linking persons to care. The data will
have implications for policy, program
development, and resource allocation at
the state/local and national levels.
Users of NIC data include, but are not
limited to, Federal agencies, state and
local health departments, clinicians,
researchers, and HIV prevention and
care planning groups. Participation in
the data collection is voluntary and
there is no cost to respondents to
participate in the survey other than their
time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours is 325.

In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and

interventions, particularly through
population-based strategies such as
policy-level changes, environmental
supports and the social marketing
process. The goal of the programs in this
project is to attain population-based
behavior change such as increased
physical activity and better dietary
habits; this leads to a reduction in the
prevalence of obesity, and ultimately to
a reduction in the prevalence of chronic
diseases. The evaluation questions for
‘‘State Nutrition and Physical Activity
Programs to Prevent Obesity and Other
Chronic Diseases’’ have been designed
to focus on the recipient activities as
outlined in the original funding
announcement:
• Capacity building
• Collaboration
• Planning
• Monitoring the burden of obesity
• Intervention
• Evaluation
Within each of these areas, the plan
identifies specific evaluation questions
that have been chosen for study. The
evaluation questions are asked of the
funded states via a web-based data
collection system supported by an
electronic database every 6 months
during the funding cycle. The project
will continue to be conducted over a 3year period.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
survey.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this
notice.
