SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
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; (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

goals, such as reducing new infections,
increasing the use of condoms, and
targeting high risk groups.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention requests approval for a 3year 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 MSAs were chosen
based on having high HIV 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.
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

System (NHBS)—(0920–0770,
Expiration 03/31/2017)—Extension—
National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this data collection is
to monitor behaviors of persons at high
risk for infection that are related to
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
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

Expiration 03/31/2017)--Extension--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease

Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this data collection is to monitor behaviors of
persons at high risk for infection that are related to Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) 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 requests 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 MSAs were chosen based on
having high HIV 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
