assist NIOSH in documenting the work
history of the employee by
characterizing the actual work tasks
performed. In addition, NIOSH and the
claimant may identify incidents that
may have resulted in undocumented
radiation exposures, characterizing
radiological protection and monitoring
practices, and identify co-workers and
other witnesses as may be necessary to
confirm undocumented information. In
this process, NIOSH uses a computer
assisted telephone interview (CATI)
system, which allows interviews to be
conducted more efficiently and quickly
as opposed to a paper-based interview
instrument. Both interviews are
voluntary and failure to participate in
either or both interviews will not have
a negative effect on the claim, although
voluntary participation may assist the
claimant by adding important
information that may not be otherwise
available.
NIOSH uses the data collected in this
process to complete an individual dose
reconstruction that accounts, as fully as
possible, for the radiation dose incurred
by the employee in the line of duty for
DOE nuclear weapons production
programs. After dose reconstruction,
NIOSH also performs a brief, voluntary
final interview with the claimant to
explain the results and to allow the
claimant to confirm or question the
records NIOSH has compiled. This will
also be the final opportunity for the
claimant to supplement the dose
reconstruction record.
At the conclusion of the dose
reconstruction process, the claimant
submits a form to confirm that the
claimant has no further information to
provide to NIOSH about the claim at
this time. The form notifies the claimant
that signing the form allows NIOSH to
forward a dose reconstruction report to
DOL and to the claimant, and closes the
record on data used for the dose
reconstruction. Signing this form does
not indicate that the claimant agrees
with the outcome of the dose
reconstruction. The dose reconstruction
results will be supplied to the claimant
and to the DOL, the agency that will
utilize them as one part of its
determination of whether the claimant
is eligible for compensation under the
Act.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annual burden hours are 4,900.

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
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects.
To request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 and

send an email to omb@cdc.gov.
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

Revision—National Center for HIV/

Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This proposed data collection
supplements the HIV/AIDS surveillance
programs in 23 selected state and local
health departments, which collect
information on persons diagnosed with,
living with, and dying from HIV
infection and AIDS and will incorporate
data elements from two data collections:
Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance
(SHAS) project (0920–0262) and the
Adult/Adolescent Spectrum of HIV
Disease (ASD). Both projects stopped

data collection in 2004. Although CDC
receives surveillance data from all U.S.
states, these supplemental surveillance
data are needed to make populationbased national estimates of key
indicators, related to the quality of HIVrelated ambulatory care, the severity of
need for HIV-related care and services,
and HIV-related behaviors and clinical
outcomes.
This project collects data on behaviors
and clinical outcomes from a probability
sample of HIV-infected adults receiving
care in the U.S. through in-person or
telephone interviews and abstraction of
medical records. Information is also
extracted from HIV case surveillance
records for a dataset, referred to as the
minimum dataset, which is used to
assess non-response bias, for quality
control, to improve the ability of MMP
to monitor ongoing care and treatment
of HIV-infected persons, and to make
inferences from the MMP sample to
HIV-infected persons in care nationally.
No other Federal agency collects
nationally representative populationbased behavioral and clinical
information from HIV-infected adults in
care. The data are expected to have
significant implications for policy,
program development, and resource
allocation at the state/local and national
levels.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention request approval for a

revision and 3-year approval for the
previously approved Medical
Monitoring Project (MMP) 0920–0740
exp. 5/31/2012). The interview and
minimum dataset data collection
instruments have been revised based on
experience in previous data collection
cycles, but these changes will not affect
the burden per respondent. The medical
record abstraction forms have not
changed. CDC’s current goal is to
interview 80% of 9,400 patients or
7,520, 96% of whom (a total of 7,219
patients) will complete the standard
interview and 4% of whom (a total of
301 patients) will complete the short
interview. The number of sampled
patients has increased by 62 patients
compared to the previously approved
information collection; thereby
increasing the total burden hours by 37
hours, from 8,500 to 8,537.
Data will be collected through inperson and telephone-administered,
computer-assisted interviews conducted
by trained interviewers in 23 Reporting
Areas (16 states, Puerto Rico and 6
separately funded cities), through
medical record and abstraction by
trained abstractors and through
extraction of information from HIV
surveillance case records. The project
activities and methods will remain the
same as those used in the previously
approved data collection period.
Interviews with HIV-infected patients
provide information on patient
demographics, and the current levels of
behaviors that may facilitate HIV
transmission: sexual and drug use
behaviors; patients’ access to, use of and
barriers to receiving HIV-related
secondary prevention services;
utilization of HIV-related medical
services; and adherence to drug
regimens.
Collection of data from patient
medical records provides information
on: demographics and insurance status;
the prevalence and incidence of AIDSdefining opportunistic illnesses and comorbidities related to HIV disease; the
receipt of prophylactic and
antiretroviral medications; and whether
patients are receiving screening and
treatment according to Public Health
Service guidelines.
The minimum dataset contains
demographic and HIV-related laboratory
test information extracted from an
existing HIV case surveillance database,
the national HIV/AIDS Reporting
System.
A standard interview will be
conducted with approximately 96% of
patients, and will take 45 minutes. A
short interview will be conducted with
patients who are too ill to complete the
standard interview or when the
interview must be translated. The short
interview, which will be conducted
with approximately 4% of patients, will
take approximately 20 minutes.
Medical record abstractions will be
completed on all eligible participants.
Minimal data on all sampled patients
will be extracted from the national HIV/
AIDS Reporting System.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.
