Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 26, 2013 / Notices
The survey will be administered to a
nationally representative sample of
4,484 communities. Respondents will be
city planners/managers in these
communities. We estimate a response
rate of 70%, resulting in 3,139
completed surveys.
Information will be collected about
the following topics: community-wide
planning efforts for healthy eating and
active living, the built environment and
policies that support physical activity,
and policies and practices that support
access to healthy food and healthy
eating. Data will be primarily collected
using a secure, Web-based survey data
collection system. A hardcopy response
option will be available for respondents
who prefer to complete a paper form.
Follow-up will be conducted by
telephone and mail reminders to
encourage completion of the survey.
The proposed survey content and data
collection procedures incorporate
lessons learned during an initial pilot
study (Pilot Study of Community-Based
Surveillance and Supports for Healthy
Eating/Active Living, OMB No. 0920–
0934, exp. 5/31/2013). In order to
achieve the target number of completed
surveys, we estimate that we will need
to conduct an average of five follow-up
calls with each respondent.
Assessment of policy and
environmental supports for healthful
eating and physical activity will serve
multiple uses. First, the collected data
will describe the characteristics of
communities that have specific policy
and practice supports favorable for
healthy diets and regular physical
activity. Second, the collected data will
help identify the extent to which
communities implement strategies
consistent with current national
recommendations. Third, local agencies
may use the data collected to consider
how they compare nationally or with
other municipalities of a similar
geography, population size, or urban
status. Fourth, this information can help
guide communities in their local
decision-making efforts on feasible
policy and environmental interventions
or solutions for healthy behaviors or
choices. Finally, information collected
through this survey may serve as a
baseline to track community-level
policies and practices across time.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 3,438.

transmission and prevention in the
United States. The primary objectives of
the NHBS system are to obtain data from
samples of persons at risk to: (a)
Describe the prevalence and trends in
risk behaviors; (b) describe the
prevalence of and trends in HIV testing
and HIV infection; (c) describe the
prevalence of and trends in use of HIV
prevention services; (d) identify met and
unmet needs for HIV prevention
services in order to inform health
departments, community based
organizations, community planning
groups and other stakeholders. By
describing and monitoring the HIV risk
behaviors, HIV seroprevalence and
incidence, and HIV prevention
experiences of persons at highest risk
for HIV infection, NHBS provides an
important data source for evaluating
progress towards national public health
goals, such as reducing new infections,
increasing the use of condoms, and
targeting high risk groups.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention request approval for a 3-year
extension of this information collection.
Data are collected through anonymous,
in-person interviews conducted with
persons systematically selected from 25
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs)
throughout the United States; these 25

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 26, 2013 / Notices
MSAs were chosen based on having
high AIDS prevalence. Persons at risk
for HIV infection to be interviewed for
NHBS include men who have sex with
men (MSM), injecting drug users (IDU),
and heterosexuals at increased risk of
HIV (HET). A brief screening interview
will be used to determine eligibility for
participation in the behavioral
assessment.
The data from the behavioral
assessment will provide estimates of (1)
behavior related to the risk of HIV and
other sexually transmitted diseases, (2)
prior testing for HIV, (3) and use of HIV
prevention services.
All persons interviewed will also be
offered an HIV test, and will participate
in a pre-test counseling session. No
other federal agency systematically
collects this type of information from
persons at risk for HIV infection. These
data have substantial impact on
prevention program development and
monitoring at the local, state, and
national levels.
CDC estimates that NHBS will
involve, per year in each of the 25
MSAs, eligibility screening for 50 to 200
persons and eligibility screening plus
the behavioral assessment with 500
eligible respondents, resulting in a total
of 37,500 eligible survey respondents
and 7,500 ineligible screened persons
during a 3-year period. Data collection
will rotate such that interviews will be
conducted among one group per year:
MSM in year 1, IDU in year 2, and HET
in year 3. The type of data collected for
each group will vary slightly due to
different sampling methods and risk
characteristics of the group.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary and there is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.
