John Howard, Director, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. 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 [FR Doc. 2010–27595 Filed 11–1–10; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4163–19–P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [30-Day–11–0255] 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).

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.

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

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).

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,
